Jane Scott is fourteen years old and last year she {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (begin) to study in a middle school. She likes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (dance) and singing and spends a lot of time on them. But she hates math and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (not study) hard at it. She thinks it difficult to learn math. Once she failed the math exam, and now she decides to give it up. Her father is angry with her when he knows about it.

    It was Sunday. Mr. Scott gave a call to his sister. She teaches math in another school. He hoped she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (come) and tell his daughter how {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (learn) math. The woman came quickly and said, “You're a clever girl, Jane. I'm sure you'll soon do well in math if you work hard at it. ”

    “I'm afraid I can't, Aunt,” said Jane. “I am not interested in math at all.”

    “I don't think so.” said the woman. “You {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) good at it if you try your best. You {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) more exercises and practice a math problem again until you make it. Well, here's a math problem. Think it over and practice it again and again, then you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) it out. ”

    “OK,” said the girl, “Let me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have) a try.”

    About an hour later Jane took the exercise book to her aunt and said, “I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) the problem ten times by now.”

    “Well done!” her aunt said happily, “What answers did you get?!”

    “Ten answers.”

    National Youth Day is celebrated in China every year on 4^th May. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (establish) by the Government Administration Council of People's Republic of China in December of 1949 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (honor) the May Fourth Movement of 1919.

    After World War I ended, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} peace conference was held by the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, France and Japan in Paris. China sent some of its delegates (代表) to participate in the conference. China demanded that Japan cancel the unfair “21 items” and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Germany should give Shandong Back to China, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was occupied by Japan during WWI. The very rational request was refused and the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (legal) privilege of Germany of Shandong Province was transferred to Japan. The outcome caused a significant amount of anger among the residents of China. Approximately 30,000 students from different {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (university) around Beijing gathered at Tian'anmen Square on May 4^th to hold a protest {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the decision. Finally on June 28^th Chinese delegates refused to sign the Paris Treaty, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) the movement a success. This marked the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (begin) of National Youth Day.

    For thousands of years, fishes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (feed) the people of Peru. It was only when the industrial fishing boats got started in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}1950s that people lost interest in the fish. Modern fishery turned most of its catch into fishmeal(鱼饲料) for feeding other animals. In fact, most of the fish {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (catch) yearly around the world are for use other than eating, and 90% of them are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (perfect) good to eat.

    White is a researcher at the University of British Columbia and he spent years {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(research) into fishery catches around the world. According {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his study, about 27% of ocean fish which were caught became fishmeal or fish oil. Those products were used to feed farmed fish or used in agriculture.

    “There could be a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good) use of these fish,” says White. Instead of feeding fish to fish, the fish could feed people, especially those {#blank#}8{#/blank#} need high-quality protein. But the reason why that doesn't happen is a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) of economics and regulations(法规). In many places, a fisherman can get more money if he sells his catch for fishmeal than if he sells it to the locals for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} meals. And in Peru, a change in how fishes are handled could both satisfy the need to feed the people and supply the fishmeal industry.

    Zac Sunderland is an American who was born in 1991. On July 16^th, 2009 Zac sailed (航行) back to Marina del Rey, California where he had left over a year before. As soon as he arrived, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) the youngest person in history to sail alone around the world. In order to get the amazing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (achieve), Zac solved lots of problems.

    When something broke on his boat, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (thousand) of miles out to sea, Zac had to repair it all by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he). Fresh food doesn't last long, so he got used to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) freeze-dried meals and canned food. And he felt lonely.

    Zac's experiences at sea were not all difficult or miserable(痛苦的). He got {#blank#}6{#/blank#}chances of seeing a night sky more shining than you have ever seen from land, watching {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beauty) sunrises and sunsets and meeting different marine(海中的) life.

    Zac sailed alone but not non-stop. He made stops along the way {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (add) some more food and fuel. During those stops, he met people from different cultures. His father met him during many of his stops, took him out {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an excellent meal and helped repair the boat {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (frequent).
