As you know, science plays {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very important role in our education. Do you want to keep up with the latest research and discoveries in science? There are many good websites {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you can check out the latest in the science world.

    One great site is Science News for Kids. This site reports science news {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cover) a wide range of subjects. The articles are intended {#blank#}4{#/blank#}younger readers， {#blank#}5{#/blank#} adults will find this site suitable for them as well. Another wonderful site, one that I check out every day,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(call) Science Daily. The site is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (constant) updated with news, often about exciting {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (finding) that change how we view the world.

    These sites post the latest stories and also keep all the past articles they{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (post) earlier. That way you can find about {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is related to the science fields your are interested in.

    I enjoy{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (climb) mountains whenever I can find the time to do so. Tom and Mike are my best friends. Both of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} also like sports. Two years ago, the three of us {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) up to Mt. Lushan. Instead of taking a bus, which would be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (comfortable), we preferred to climb. We started {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the foot of the mountain early in the morning, chatting all the way. After about one and a half hours' climbing, we saw two mountain {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (path) before us. We could not decide {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to choose. In the end, we took the path on the right, thinking that might be a short cut. But we were wrong. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lose) in the mountain, we could not find our way out. We had to use our hands and feet to make a way. We began to cry for help {#blank#}9{#/blank#} nobody answered. It was not until darkness {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (fall) that we found a right path leading up to a paved road.

    An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men. One man said, "We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the ground. Who finishes first will have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}" The others agreed. Very soon, one man finished his snake. He was about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (drink) the wine when he saw the others were still busy{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (draw). He said proudly, "How{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (slow) you are drawing! I still have enough time to add feet to my snake." But before he finished, another man finished his snake and took hold of the pot from him, saying, "Whoever{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (see) a snake with feet before? Yours is not a snake, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the wine should be mine!" He drank the wine. The man adding feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fool) behavior.

    From that story comes the idiom Draw a snake and add feet to it'. Now people use this idiom to illustrate (阐释) the truth {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we are all familiar with: Going too far {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) as bad as not going far enough.

    The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(long) cross-sea bridge, enters the history of human engineering and connection as a point of pride upon {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(it) opening to traffic at 9 am on Oct.24, 2018.

    One day after the opening was announced at a ceremony{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(hold) in Zhuhai, the bridge's ports in three different administrative regions started serving travelers around-the-clock , opening 24 hours a day, seven days a week.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ensure) faster boundary crossings for passengers, the Macao and Zhuhai ports jointly use a one-off immigration clearance model,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}allows travelers to queue up only once to finish both exit and entry procedures of the two cities in about 30{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(second).

    Apart{#blank#}7{#/blank#}private cars, taxis and goods vehicles, two types of public transportation -shuttle bus(班车)and cross-boundary coach --can also run on the HZMB.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}frequency of shuttle buses is about 5-10minutes during peak hours. Booking tickets for the shuttle bus online in advance{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（be）available since 9 am on Tuesday. With the bridge now in service, the traveling time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong International Airport will{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(shorten) from four hours to 45 minutes, and the time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong's Container Terminals will be cut from 3. 5 hours to 75 minutes.
