Silk was not the only product to be transported along the Silk Road, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}other goods such as tea, medicinal herbs also being exported from China. Many merchants found instant wealth through the trade in luxury items．

    Rather than traveling the entire length of the Silk Road, each merchant traded goods along one section of the route, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) them in one town and then selling in another. The travelers and merchants also {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (carry) many ideas, philosophies and religions with them along the Silk Road. Of all these, Buddhism, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}came from India, had the greatest influence on Chinese culture. It{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eventual) became China's primary faith, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(widespread) than the original Chinese religions of Confucianism and Taoism．

    Silk Road trades traveled together in long caravans of camels. This mode of travel provided{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(protect) from robbers who might attempt {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rob) the valuable goods being transported．The Silk Road was not only one single road, but{#blank#}9{#/blank#} whole collection of routes by which goods{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (transport) between the East and the West．

    Just like every technological advancement, the next is set to be a huge deal, and such is the case for 5G.The wireless technology {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect) to power self-driving cars, virtual reality, smart {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (city), and networked robots. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (research) from King's College London who have joined with Ericsson (ERIC) to dream up futuristic applications for 5G have looked at everything from music {#blank#}4{#/blank#} medicine.

    The team is working towards using {#blank#}5{#/blank#} technology to transfer physical skills across networks and creating what they are calling the “Internet of Skills”. “With 5G and the new networking architecture we're building, we're hoping to get this delay down to just the speed of light,” said Mischa Dohler, a professor of wireless communications at King's College.

    Furthermore, 5G will {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hopeful) allow a surgeon with virtual reality equipment {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (work) on the other side of the world via a robot. They will use haptic (触觉的) gloves, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} will allow the surgeon to sense motion and pressure when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (operate) on a patient and can get instant feedback via the gloves.

Meanwhile, Dohler does not expect this to happen overnight and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (believe) it could take the “Internet of Skills” another decade before it is fully functional.

    A recent study found that people who live in colder climates consume {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (much) alcohol than people who live in warm weather.

    "Alcohol is something that everyone thought harmful for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (decade), but no one has scientifically demonstrated it," a professor wrote in a press release.

Why do people in Russia drink so much? Everybody {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (assume) that's because the weather is cold. But we couldn't find a single paper {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (link) climate to alcohol intake. Since alcohol could increase warm blood flow in the skin, last month, the researchers in a study {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (suggest) that people should reach for booze (豪饮) when it's cold outside. The researchers combed through data to compare climate factors and alcohol consumption per capita (每人的). {#blank#}6{#/blank#} study also found that as temperatures and sunlight hours decrease, alcohol consumption goes up. Shorter hours of sunlight and cooler temperatures also relate {#blank#}7{#/blank#} higher rates of depression, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is linked to an increase in drinking.

    The professor hopes this data will help influence health policies on alcohol abuse. "Knowing that cold places have more drink-related problems can could be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (help) to the efforts in these areas {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (determine) better places," he said.

    Five meters below the surface of the North Sea, near the southernmost tip of Norway, Europe's first underwater restaurant is to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (complete).The110-foot long structure, an oblique (斜的) concrete slab (平板) that {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (look) like a sunken periscope, started in July 2018 and work is now underway to complete the interiors, predicting the public opening {#blank#}3{#/blank#} spring 2020.

    The restaurant, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (call) Under, is the design of Norwegian outfit Snhetta, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} has made a name for itself with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (project) such as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt, the Oslo Opera House, the National September 11Memorial Pavilion and the renovation of Times Square in New York.

    When {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (finish), the structure {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (contain) about 100 guests with a total internal area of about 500 square meters (5, 300 square feet). It has three levels, offering unique underwater views of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (surround) sea environment through {#blank#}10{#/blank#} 11-meter (36 feet) wide panoramic (全景的) window.

    Our cat was ready to give birth to her kittens. My son was curious and excited to see the birth of these new babies. The event took place yesterday. The cat {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(give) birth to one kitten by the time he arrived home from school. He was so amazed at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he saw. When the second was on its way, the mother cat began to yell very loudly. I saw tears in my son's eyes because he learned about the pain of giving birth.
