There was once a professor (教授) of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (委员会), the students would be in fear, for he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the room and sat down on a chair before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness and his answer was OK.

Then the professor asked about the cure (治疗) for illness, and the student also answered just as right.

"Good," said the professor, "and how much will you give the patient?"

"A full spoon," answered the student.

"Now you may go out and wait for what you can get," said the professor. At the same time the committee discussed the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. "A full spoon is too much," he thought to himself. He was very worried and he opened the door of the room and cried, "Mr. Professor, I've made a mistake! A spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops (滴)."

"I'm sorry, sir," said the professor, "but it's too late. Your patient has died."

"Museums of the World" Travel Plan

Here's the travel plan for some unusual museums on our "Museums of the World" tour. 

I'll send you the full journey next week.

The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) (Boston, USA) shows what it is called as "art too bad to be ignored(忽略)". The museum hopes to bring the worst of art to the people around the world.

We'll see some really ugly paintings.

The Hair Museum (Avanos,Turkey) is in a cave in Cappadocia, in Central Anatolia. It contains 16,000 samples of people's hair. You'll be offered a chance to add your own hair to the collection.

The Washington Banana Museum (Auburn, Washington, USA)collects more than 17, 000 objects. We'll learn all sorts of interesting things, such as the fact that bananas were introduced to the USA in 1878 in the same exhibition as Alexander Graham Bell's telephone, the banana is now the best selling fruit in the USA.

The Science Museum (London, the UK)is interesting for people of all ages. It's free to enter and open from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m.You can talk and even operate machines there. You can do a lot of physics experiments in the Launchpad. You can also learn about what machines were like in the past on the fourth and fifth floors.

 We can find Chinese people growing vegetable tirelessly in every corner of the world. When the Chinese move into a house in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} foreign country, they always grow vegetables in the garden. Even at the frozen South Pole(南极), there's a" vegetable greenhouse" bulit up by the members of Zhongshan Scientific Research Station, which {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(true) provides enough vegetables. Such a difficult situation cannot stop those scientists love for vegetable growing.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} more cheap and fresh vegetables are being placed on the shelves of supermarkets, the Chinese people's love for growing vegetables themselves never goes away. Besides, some people even bulid virtual(虚拟的) farms in smart phone {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(get) the pleasure of growing vegetables.

 Why do many {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(Chinese) grow vegetables in both {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(day) lives and the virtual world?

 Such love comes from the Chinese history. To fill {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they) stomachs, Chinese people have formed a tradition of working hard. In China's culture, working hard {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(solve) the stomach problem and studying satisfies the hunger for knowledge.

And now, smarter technologies are used for growing vegetables. Even in the outer space, Chinese astronaut Jing Haipeng showed how he {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(grow) vegetables in the space lab of Tiangong-2 space station. Nothing can stop the Chinese {#blank#}10{#/blank#} growing vegetable . The" Chinese vegetable gardens" are producing hopes across the world, and they also carry the best wishes of the Chinese people to their ancestors.

阅读下面的短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中的词语的正确形式填空。
