Most student jobs are entry-level and low paying, but have flexible schedule {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(allow) students to attend classes.

    Sometimes students also hold more responsible positions such as managers, or if they are lucky, positions in their area of study, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they hope will help them find employment after they graduate.

    In Chinese culture, each year is related to{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Chinese animal according to the 12-year cycle. 2018 is an Earth Dog Year. People born during the year of dog {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (believe) to take after some of the animal's characteristics, such as loyalty, patience, and reliability.

    Zodiac(黄道) theory also relates to Chinese elemental theory, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}associates the 12 animals with one of five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five elements {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (combine) with the 12 zodiac signs produce a 60-year cycle. Zodiac animals have both fixed and non-fixed elements attached {#blank#}5{#/blank#}them. For example, the dog (as well as the dragon, ox, and goat) is always associated with the earth element.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the year of 2018 is considered an earth year according to the Chinese solar calendar, those born in 2018 are considered earth dogs, which carry characteristics like being communicative and responsible at work.

    The giant panda {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby. She was a very{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (care) mother. For 25 days, she never left her baby, not even to find something (eat)! S{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he would not let any other pandas come near. She licked the baby constantly to keep it clean. Any smell might attract natural{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (enemy) that would try to eat the little comforting pats. The mother held the baby in her front paws much the way a human does, it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}cried, she rocked it back and forth and gave it little comforting pats, The mother continued to care for the young panda {#blank#}7{#/blank#} more than two years. By that time, the panda no longer needed {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) mother for food. However, it stayed with her and leaned about the ways of the forest. Then, after two and a half years, the mother {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(drive) the young panda away. It was time for her to have a new baby, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was also time for the young panda to be independent.

    Access to electricity has always been limited for people living in Nuevo Saposoa, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}remote village in Peru. However, things went from bad to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bad)in March 2015 after a flood damaged the power station in the area. The villagers {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(force)to turn to kerosene(煤油)lamps, which are not only expensive but give off poisonous matter.

    Fortunately, the researchers and students at the UTEC in Lima, Peru heard about it and came up with a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(create)idea. They designed a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}can be found in the Amazonian rainforests where the village {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(lie). Called Plantalamparas, the lights draws energy from a plant {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(grow)in the rainforests and uses it to light up an LED bulb. So far, the bulbs have been a huge success.

    This is not the first time the students and professors of UTEC {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(come)up with a clever approach {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a problem. In 2014, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(deal)with Peru's severe air pollution they created a large advertising board that could be used as an air purifier(净化器)as well.
