        Born on March 13, 1988 in San Diego, California,Tiffany Two {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(buy) by herowner, Sharon Voorhees, from a local pet shop. At that time, the cat was onlysix  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(week) old. Sharon named her TiffanyTwo in memory of the cat she once{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(own) In the 1970s.

        In fact,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} Tiffany Two celebrated her 27^thbirthday back in March, she had lived the equivalent (等量) of 125 human years.

        Despite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} unbelievable age, Tiffany Two was reported tohave good sight and hearing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (recent). Tiffany Two only had minor{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ill) such as high blood pressure, and Sharondescribed her as “strong and still able to go up and down stairs”.

    Zhu De was born {#blank#}1{#/blank#} December 1, 1886 to a poor farmer's family in a town in Yilong County, a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hill) and separate part of northern Sichuan Province. Of the fifteen {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (child) born to the family, only eight survived. His Hakka(客家) family migrated from Hunan Province and Guangdong Province {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Sichuan. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} his family was poor, by pooling(合伙经营) resources, Zhu was chosen to be sent to a regional private school in 1892. At the age of nine, Zhu was adopted by his wealthy uncle, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} political influence allowed him {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (gain) access to Yunnan Military Academy. Later, he attained the rank of Xiucai in 1906, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) him qualified as a civil servant. He was admitted into a Sichuan high school around 1907, and graduated in 1908. Consequently, he returned to Yilong's primary school as a gym {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (instruct). He was an advocate(倡导者) of modern science and political teaching, rather than the strict classical education afforded by schools, so he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (dismiss) from his post and entered the Yunnan Military Academy in Kunming. There, he joined the Beiyang Army and the Tongmenghui secret political society.

    When I left for the United States to study. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous because I was going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} new place with new people and new customs. I couldn't even understand {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they)language. Everything was different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my own country. There was nobody that I could talk to. I just had my husband, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was a new person for me, too.

    It was a sad moment when I had to say goodbye to my family and friends. I didn't want {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave)my hometown because I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(grow) up there and had wonderful {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(memory) of the place. So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think)about all these changes made me nervous and I was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(worry)about my new life. But studying abroad was a decision that I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge. I looked forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(visit)my family in the summer vacation.

    One news story about the modem Olympics is about men {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pretend) to be women to enter the women's events, People are arguing about how fair {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is to test woman athletes to make sure they are not men. One side argues that men are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (strong), so they will win any women's event. They say that women should be tested to make sure they are not men. The other side argues that this is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fair)to women. They say skill is more important than strength. But has this ever really happened? {#blank#}5{#/blank#} answer is yes, several times! The most famous case is that of Dora in the 1936 Olympic Games.

    The Olympics {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hold) in Berlin, Germany, three years after the Nazis came {#blank#}7{#/blank#} power. The Nazis wanted to win lots of events, but they had wrong ideas about race. They did not want black or Jewish people in the German team. But many of their best athletes were Jewish. The Nazis did not let these athletes compete. But that meant they might lose events! One event {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the Nazis thought they might lose was the women's high Jump. So the Nazis sent a male athlete, Hermann Ratjen, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (compete) under the name of “Dora”. Did he win? No. “Dora” came fourth. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (win) was a young Jewish woman from Hungary. She jumped 1.60 metres. “Dora” only jumped 1.58 metres. So men do not always win.

    For those who love travel, particularly rail travel, China in 1987 was a can't﹣miss kind of place.  In1987, China was still operating steam trains on some rail routes,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}made people from many countries amazed. Bruce Connolly, a photographer from Scotland,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（be） one of them.

    Connolly first came to China in 1987,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（start） his continuous travelling throughout China. Since then, he{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（travel） to most parts of China except Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Wherever he went, his camera remained by his side. During his journeys in China, Connolly found China very different from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}he saw in photographs, which showed Chinese people very religious in the way they dressed and behaved.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, what he saw was that people were{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（friend）, welcoming and wore bright clothes. In the early years of his journey, most Chinese people were fascinated with foreigners visiting China, but now that has changed in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, foreigners are no longer{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（curious）.

    Another dramatic change that Connolly has felt in China is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. widespread use of new technology. China has become one of the most tech﹣savvy（懂技术的）societies. People now do everything with{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（they） smartphones, and use of cash is almost disappearing.

    Have you ever wanted to be in a TV show or movie? There is a new app {#blank#}1{#/blank#}lets you put yourself in your favorite shows.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} some people are worried about this app.

    The app is called ZAO. A tech company{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) Momo released it last month. It lets users put their faces over the faces in photos and videos. Users can put themselves into popular TV shows and movies. For example, you can put your face into a scene from the movie Titanic. Your face {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(replace) Jack's or Rose's. It looks very {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(nature). Released on Aug 30, it was the most-downloaded free app in China as of Sept 10, according to App Annie, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}website that tracks app data.

    However, some people worry that the app could be abused. People can use the app to make themselves look like politicians or celebrities (名人). They could also violate (侵犯) celebrities' right of publicity, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) their faces to make videos or {#blank#}8{#/blank#}other illegal uses.

    Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is possible that hackers (黑客) could steal this data from app{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(company) and use it to break into users' phones and steal their money.
