Being a veterinarian(兽医), I had to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their boy Shane, loved Belker very much.

    I examined Belker and found him {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (die) of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia(安乐死) procedure in their home.

    As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} would be good for six-year-old Shane to watch. They felt Shane might learn something.

    The next day, Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting(拍) the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was happening. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (peaceful) away.

    The little boy seemed to accept it without any difficulty. We sat together after Belker's death, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(wonder) why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, having listened quietly, said, “I know {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.”

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise), we all turned to him. What he said next amazed me. It has changed my life.

    He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live {#blank#}9{#/blank#} good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”

    The six-year-old boy continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} they don't have to stay as long.”

Zhou Yang wants to be a journalist, so he asks advice from a senior editor. The following are their dialogues.

Zhou: How to work in a team?

Editor: Firstly, you should work as an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (assist) then you can cover a story and submit the article yourself. Besides, you'll have professional photographers with you to take photographers.

Zhou: How to get an accurate story ?

Editor: You need to be curious and ask as many different questions {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you can. What's more, you must do research to keep yourself {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inform)of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (miss) parts of the story. Don't miss your deadline ,don't be rude, don't talk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} much, but make sure you listen {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the interviewee carefully.

Zhou: How to protect a story from accusation?

Editor: {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the interviewee agrees, you can use a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (record) to get the facts straight, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can offer the evidence {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (support) your story.

    Have you ever been to London? Which famous sites did you visit? Or, if it is the first time that you{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) there, which one will you check out?

    Some world famous {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(culture) sites may already be on your list: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Tower. However, a tour of London would be incomplete{#blank#}3{#/blank#} checking out the London art scene. As a guidebook London's Secrets: Museums & Galleries put it, London's art is a lot like{#blank#}4{#/blank#} city itself — “diverse, vast, and in a constant state of changes. From old masters to street art and everything in between, London has it all.”

    In fact, according to The Telegraph, museums and galleries were the most {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(visit) attractions in Britain last year. The British Museum{#blank#}6{#/blank#} celebrated its 225th anniversary this year, had the most visitors, at 6,701,036.

    According to The Art Newspaper, the British Museum's increased {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(popular) is down to its exhibitions, particularly its Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum show ( March-September 2017 ).

    There are more than 7 million artifacts(文物) in the British Museum. Not all of them are on display, but much of the collection {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(constant) rotates(轮换), so you'll see something new with each visit. So{#blank#}9{#/blank#} you're an art lover or just looking for a fun time, you're sure{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(find) inspiration in London.

    As you know, science plays{#blank#}1{#/blank#}very important role in our education. Do you want to keep up{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the latest research and discoveries in science? There are many good websites{#blank#}3{#/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#}4{#/blank#}(cover) a wide range of subjects. The articles are intended for younger readers, but adults will find this site{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(suit) 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 articles just about anything that{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) related to the science fields you are interested in.

    On the afternoon of 11 March 2011, Tetsu Nozaki watched helplessly as a wall of water {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(crash) into his boats in Onahama, a small fishing port on Japan's Pacific coast.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(spend) the past eight years rebuilding, the Fukushima fishing fleet is now confronting yet another menace — the increasing likelihood {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the nuclear plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), will dump huge quantities of radioactive water into the ocean.

    "We strongly oppose any plans to discharge the water into the sea," Nozaki, head of Fukushima prefecture's federation of fisheries cooperatives, told the Guardian.

    Currently, just over one million tonnes of contaminated water is held in almost 1, 000 tanks at Fukushima Daiichi, but the utility has warned that it will run out of space by the summer of 2022.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(release) the wastewater into the sea would also anger South Korea, adding to pressure on diplomatic ties.

    Seoul, which has yet to lift an import ban on Fukushima seafood {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(introduce) in 2013, claimed last week that discharging the water would pose a "grave threat" {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the marine environment — a charge rejected by Japan.

    Japanese Government officials say they won't make a decision {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they have received a report from an expert panel, but there are strong indications that dumping is preferred over other options {#blank#}8{#/blank#} vaporising, burying or storing the water indefinitely.

    Critics say the government is reluctant {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(support) the dumping option for fear of creating fresh controversy over Fukushima during the Rugby World Cup,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} starts this week, and the buildup to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Digital devices(设备) have become common in our lives. Today, kids often type with a keyboard instead {#blank#}1{#/blank#}writing by hand. But a recent study shows that you can learn{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(well), and possibly remember more, by handwriting your notes.

"Some schools have become{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(complete) digital," noted Audrey, who{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lead) the study. She measured what's happening in the brain to better understand learning and behaviors. Her study found that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(use) a pen or pencil to write notes involves more of the brain than typing on a keyboard. This is because writing needs more complex movements,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} makes more areas of our brain activate.

Think about it: you move your hands{#blank#}7{#/blank#}same way to type each letter on a keyboard. That's different from when we write. Our brain needs{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(consider) the shape of each letter. And we must control our hands to shape different letters with a pen or pencil, all of which uses and connects more areas of the brain.

So learning only by typing could be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(harm). However, the human brain connects with the world in as many{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(way) as possible. That's why it's important to learn to write by hand and to type with a keyboard in the meanwhile.
