Well, today is the day. Microsoft is officially pulling the life support plug on Windows XP. And while the majority of PC user have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (obvious) moved on to newer operating systems(OS）, some people stuck {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Windows XP over the last 12 years. As is reported by The Washington Post, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} enormous number of government machines are still running the old OS, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} could probably create a security problem.

    Clearly, over 13 percent of PCs in the United States are still running Windows Xp, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Microsoft announced the end for support over two years ago. As many as 10 percent of US government computers, thousands of PCs holding sensitive information{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (include), will now be without{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (far) security updates.

    Yesterday, the Guardian reported the UK government has paid Microsoft 5.5 million pounds for a one-year {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (extend) of support. And if you think the problem is only at the desktop and notebook level, you can be quite wrong; don't forget as many as 60 percent of ATM machines in the US{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) still running XP.

    So, what's the solution? These business, government agencies and consumers will have to upgrade. And whether they choose Windows 7{#blank#}10{#/blank#} Windows 8, either is probably better than a security breach(漏洞）.

    December 16, 2013 was my birthday. It was the day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my best friend left me. I remember it as if it were yesterday. It was also our Christmas concert. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(offer) a job in Colorado, my friend's father had to leave our city. And his family had to go with {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he). Mr. Escalante, our old headmaster, brought her whole family up on the stage, and they made a big {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(announce) about how they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave). After the concert ended, I was in a total mess. I felt as if I had made something torn out of my body that could never be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(full) replaced. My best friend's name was Hannah Zona.

    Ever since I was a little girl, my family was always with the Zonas. We would go to the fair, did anything you could think of. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(live) so close {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each other, we could always go to each other's houses after school. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}she is about 7 years older than me, we act like we are sisters. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(word) can't describe how much I miss her. When she comes back to California, it's like we were never apart. Hannah Zona is the best friend you could ask for. No one could ever replace her and the love I have for her.

David will never forget what happened to him the day before yesterday. He was eating something at home{#blank#}1{#/blank#} he received a strange phone call from a hospital. The caller said that his son{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fall) to the ground unconscious on the way to school. It was he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}took him to the hospital. David hung up his cell phone and rushed to his son's classroom, only to find him listening to the teacher attentively. He suddenly realized that he had been cheated, but he felt {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(relieve). Just at that time the phone rang again, saying, "Your son is in great danger and he needs {#blank#}5{#/blank#}immediate operation which costs 48,000 yuan. The doctors here say they will not operate {#blank#}6{#/blank#}your son until they receive the money." When{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(ask) from where the caller had taken his son to hospital, the caller rang off. David gave a big smile and said. "What a pity!"

If the cheater thought he could get money from David in such a（an）{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(honest)way, he was wrong. Such phone calls are common these days. A few of them might have fallen victims to such tricks. Most parents are sensitive to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. It was really silly to cheat well—educated men like David.

    Believe it or not, it's a true story. The{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(colleague)in his office can confirm it, such as Tom, Peter and so on.

    The solar system was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(die) out. People all around the world built giant planet thruster to move Earth to a new star system. Yet the 2005 years journey came with unexpected dangers. In order to save human beings, a group of young people in this age of a wandering earth came out{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(brave) and fought hard for everyone's{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(survive). It is{#blank#}4{#/blank#}adaptation of Cixin Liu's The wandering earth.

    Cixin Liu is a writer{#blank#}5{#/blank#}led a revolution in science fiction, becoming the first Chinese{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(award)the Hugo Award in 2015. Like Hollywood space movies where Americans are pictured as the only ones capable{#blank#}7{#/blank#}saving human being, here Chinese astronauts are the adventurers among the global space community{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(determine) to complete the task.

    Regardless of the outcome for the history of mankind, Chinese astronauts have decided to choose hope. Hope is as precious{#blank#}9{#/blank#}diamond, which is the only way home. As the saying goes in the movie, among tens of thousands of matters, safety is the first one.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (regular)operations will make your loved ones shed tears.

    Monkeys do not like it when others get more food {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they do, according to a new study.

    Researchers from Yale and Harvard universities found Capuchin monkeys punish monkeys {#blank#}2{#/blank#} get more food. "This sort of, 'If I can't have it, no one can' response is because {#blank#}3{#/blank#} psychological spite (怨恨), and it was{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (previous) thought unique to humans," said Kristin Leimgruber of Harvard University. She is a co-author of the research study. The researchers watched as some Capuchin monkeys {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (give) more food than others. They found that monkeys getting the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (small) share pulled a rope to fold up a table holding the other monkey's bigger share.

    Another lead researcher, Laurie Santas, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) over email, "I think what we can conclude about humans is that some of our more embarrassing tendencies have relatively deep {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (root)." Santos said the spiteful response was not present with another member of the ape species—chimpanzees(黑猩猩).

    An earlier study, she said, showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (steal) food from them. But they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have) more food, Santos said. In other words, it was fine if another chimpanzee had more food as long as they did not steal it.
