    Tim Cook，the CEO of Apple，showed off their newest device，the Apple Watch．Mr．Cook said it was the most personal device Apple{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(create)．

    The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist．It can do many of the same things{#blank#}2{#/blank#}an iPhone．The apps are customized(定制) for the watch．It is different than just seeing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}is on your phone．

    Like a phone，you will be able to receive{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call)on your wrist．Mr.Cook smiled while{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(describe) this. “I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old，”he said. “The day is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(final) here．”

    The watches arrived in stores{#blank#}7{#/blank#}late April．They are sold at different prices，beginning at ＄349．Mr．Cook said the high-end model，the one{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) of 18-karat gold，is thousands of dollars.

    One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body，or nearby{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(get) this watch to function fully．Like a phone，it also needs to be charged each night. It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smart phone{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a smart watch.

    Born in England in 1944, Ian Wilmut{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(know)as the leader of the research group that first cloned a female lamb {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(call)Dolly in 1996. Dolly became famous and pictures of her appeared on the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(cover)of magazines all over the world. The{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(possible)of reproduction without a male and female being involved also made her the focus of a moral debate. For scientists, however, the cloning of dolly using the DNA of an adult cell was a breakthrough {#blank#}5{#/blank#}showed the cloning of special animals was possible.

    However,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}Wilmut thinks unlikely is human cloning. He says {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(undertake)the procedure with humans would require 29 surrogate(替代的)mothers and 300 eggs. Of those 29,28 would be bound {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience)failure and suffer physically and emotionally. He says he is also concerned about the psychological and{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(society)consequences a cloned might have to go through. For these reasons, he is not {#blank#}10{#/blank#}favor of it.

    Speaking of talented people, we will think of the young. Mozart created his first piano concerto at 11. Yet I can 't help but draw much{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(inspire) from those who succeeded at an old age.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(give ) hope, I am convinced that our dreams can come true if we have faith {#blank#}3{#/blank#}ourselves and keep learning and working for{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Consider the story of Mary Declany, a 72﹣year﹣old woman from the UK, who invented a new art form in the 1770s. On a visit to a friend, she met two plant experts who{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(take) a trip with an explorer through the South  Pacific. Interested in their work, she picked up a pair of{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(scissor) and began making flower collages with cut paper.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}surprised us most was that her works of art were so unique and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} （value) that they were on display in the British Museum. There's the modern versio {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （create) our lives, without worrying about our age. And away from the mysterious world, Colonel Sanders didn't open his first KFC restaurant {#blank#}10{#/blank#}he was 62, while Fauja Singh ran his first marathon at 89.

    Texting while crossing the street will soon{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ban)in Honolulu, Hawaii. From October {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, you could be fined if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major U. S. city that passed a law,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}says, "No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device."

    The law {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(include) all electronic devices with screens: cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers. The law does permit {#blank#}5{#/blank#}exception. Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(officer).

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hope), it will lower the number of people hit and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(kill) by cars in the city. Pedestrian deaths in America have been increasing as the use of cell phones rises. Honolulu has {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(many) pedestrians hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in America. The number of pedestrian deaths in 2017{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rise) to 6,000, 11% higher than in 2016.
