语法填空

    Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities, especially in place traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges(be) to enable pedestrians to cross roads(safe). Overhead bridges are used in very much the way as Zebra crossings. They are more efficient althoughlittle) convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is(convenient) especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges(help) pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of (risk) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should makea habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and (lose) of life.

    Monkeys do not like it when others get more food {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they do, according to a new study.

    Researchers from Yale and Harvard universities found Capuchin monkeys punish monkeys {#blank#}2{#/blank#} get more food. "This sort of, 'If I can't have it, no one can' response is because {#blank#}3{#/blank#} psychological spite (怨恨), and it was{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (previous) thought unique to humans," said Kristin Leimgruber of Harvard University. She is a co-author of the research study. The researchers watched as some Capuchin monkeys {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (give) more food than others. They found that monkeys getting the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (small) share pulled a rope to fold up a table holding the other monkey's bigger share.

    Another lead researcher, Laurie Santas, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) over email, "I think what we can conclude about humans is that some of our more embarrassing tendencies have relatively deep {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (root)." Santos said the spiteful response was not present with another member of the ape species—chimpanzees(黑猩猩).

    An earlier study, she said, showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (steal) food from them. But they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have) more food, Santos said. In other words, it was fine if another chimpanzee had more food as long as they did not steal it.

Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

As entrepreneurs (创业者), we had a vision, we realized it, and now we {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (run) our own companies. But the dream can damage our "work-life balance".

When the success of the company rests on your shoulders, you've always got an excuse to put {#blank#}2{#/blank#} else on hold.

What I've learned when {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (face) the demands of a start-up company and a young family over the past couple of decades is that sometimes the best way to solve the work-life balance problem is to think small. Make a handful of lifestyle corrections {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, individually, may not sound all that exciting, but taken together, can prevent you from getting too tired.

Here's my list of life hacks that will help prevent exhaustion:

●Work from home one day a week

Few things give you a more grounded, in-control feeling than getting things done in your own space and at your own pace. Instead of leaving the office {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clear) my head over a Starbucks coffee, I can fold the laundry, and cut back on evening housework.

Not to mention, working in pajamas is one of life's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (underestimate) pleasures.

●Pencil in time for exercise

It really bothered me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} with the demands of company and family, my tennis game was going down the drain. That may sound unimportant, but it wasn't to me, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it was a meaningful part of my life outside of work. To get some balance back in my life, I rearranged my schedule. Two mornings a week, I woke up an hour {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (early) to work out with a tennis coach. If sports aren't your thing, try yoga or that hobby that you always loved but let go of after starting your business.

●Learn something new, outside the office

It can be draining to always be the person who's supposed to have the answers as a business leader. It's surprisingly liberating to be on the other side, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (absorb) knowledge without the pressure to perform or to always be right.
