I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I remember{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tear) across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb.“There is no Santa Claus.” She laughed. “Even dummies(傻瓜) know that!” I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(flee) to Grandma because I knew she would be straight with me. She always told the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(true).

“No Santa Claus?” she said. “Ridiculous!Don't believe{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Put on yourcoat, and let's go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} we walked through the doors of the general store Grandma handed me ten dollars and Said, “Buy something for someone {#blank#}6{#/blank#}needs it. I'll waitfor you in the car.”

      I was only eight years old. Never had I shoppedfor anything all by myself. For a few moments I just stood there,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wonder) what to buy, and who{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(buy) it for. I thought of everybody Iknew. Then I thought about Bobbie Decker.

      He was my classmate with bad breath and{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mess) hair, and he sat right behind me. He did not have a coat. I knew that because he never went out to play gamesduring the winter. I fingered the bill with growing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(excite). I would buy Bobbie a coat.

    A reporter from Jiangsu Province went to Australia and some other countries with his father for a 3-month trip. His father spent most of his life {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（work）in the field. The son started the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（amaze）trips with his father around the world  because the farmer father {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（get）cancer—a serious illness.

    The reporter wanted to  take his father to travel，{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（hope）that his father can  find his younger self in his last days. They travelled more than 13,000 kilometers and took over 110, 000 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（picture）on their trips to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（difference）countries. Well，a miracle(奇迹) happened  during the “rebirth” trips. To their surprise，{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（he）father got better from illness and became more openhearted.

    He even taught himself to play {#blank#}8{#/blank#} violin，and then {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（gradual） he played it very  well，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}encouraged him a lot. Now he is expecting another trip to Africa. He is the most stylish dad ever.

    Time carves(雕刻) his face but youth flows in his blood. This is the real style.

    Tu Yoyo was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Oct. 5. She was the first Chinese citizen {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(win) a Nobel Prize in science. Tu {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(share) the prize with the Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan.

    Tu is a researcher at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine now. She  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) the prize for  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (develop) artemisinin (青蒿素) , a new drug therapy against malaria( 疟疾)， {#blank#}6{#/blank#} has saved millions of lives worldwide, especially in developing countries.

    Tu and her colleagues joined a government project to find a new malaria drug in the late 1960s. They made 380 herbal extracts from two thousand recipes from traditional Chinese medical books. In 1971, after nearly two hundred  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fail), Tu's team  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(final) found an extract that was 100% effective against the malaria parasites-atremisinin. In 2001, the World Health Organization made artemisinin {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) first choice in the treatment of malaria.

    “The discovery of artemisinin is a gift to mankind from traditional Chinese medicine. It's the achievement of the research team. Winning the prize is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} honor for Chinese science and traditional Chinese medicine,” Tu said.

    The so-called Americanization phenomenon seems to be more a result of the recent globalization(全球化)in our world. If we find various American products worldwide, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is also increasingly common to find Asian products in the United States.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(go) to any country in Asia nowadays, we are see many of the American icons everywhere. A few years {#blank#}3{#/blank#}when I was in Vietnam, I was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}complete) surprised at the number of advertisements about products from multinational companies, many of them American. It is unforgettable for me to see the huge coca cola billboard shown on {#blank#}5{#/blank#}unnamed long and narrow street.

    Since I moved to America, I{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(discover) many Asian products in America, from movies to food. Either in San Francisco{#blank#}7{#/blank#}in Seattle, we can go to the cinema and enjoy the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(attract) American-Chinese movie Kung Fu Panda, and take home spring rolls from one of the many Chinese restaurants in town.

    I know that many people would like{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(reduce)the globalization process in the world because they think they are losing their own culture, but it is very difficult to stop this process. We can only try to be wise and choose {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is better for us to have or to buy.

    Have you ever wanted to be in a TV show or movie? There is a new app {#blank#}1{#/blank#}lets you put yourself in your favorite shows.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} some people are worried about this app.

    The app is called ZAO. A tech company{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) Momo released it last month. It lets users put their faces over the faces in photos and videos. Users can put themselves into popular TV shows and movies. For example, you can put your face into a scene from the movie Titanic. Your face {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(replace) Jack's or Rose's. It looks very {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(nature). Released on Aug 30, it was the most-downloaded free app in China as of Sept 10, according to App Annie, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}website that tracks app data.

    However, some people worry that the app could be abused. People can use the app to make themselves look like politicians or celebrities (名人). They could also violate (侵犯) celebrities' right of publicity, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) their faces to make videos or {#blank#}8{#/blank#}other illegal uses.

    Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is possible that hackers (黑客) could steal this data from app{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(company) and use it to break into users' phones and steal their money.
