{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Education should be aimed to make better citizens instead of making money. Money can be earned by starting business. It's time to abolish(废除) the industrialized education so that all the people can benefit from real education.

      {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Concrete(具体的) measures should be taken to lessen(减轻) the students' heavy burden. Not empty talks but concrete and solid policies can guarantee(保证) all the students grow soundly.

        {#blank#}3{#/blank#} My parents are farmer-turned workers. I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should have equal chance to go to both the local public schools and take the national college entrance exam rather than go back to our native places.

       {#blank#}4{#/blank#} School choice has become a serious educational problem. To solve this problem, we must stick to the balanced development. The government should offer more support to weak schools and exchange teachers among all the schools.

        {#blank#}5{#/blank#} The government's unwillingness to spend enough money on education makes key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and increase teachers' income, widening the gap between key schools and common schools. Therefore, in order to realize the balance of education, the government should offer more help to weak schools.

A. Offer more aid to weak schools.

B. Children should share the same educational rights.

C. Heavy load is supposed to be taken off the students' shoulders.

D. Bring the industrial management of education to an end.

E. Balanced education may stop school choice.

F. Key schools and classes are unreasonable.

Just like football, basketball is one of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(popular) sports in the world.

The game of the basketball{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(go) a long way since its first game on December 21, 1891. At the beginning the game wasn'tplayed very{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(wide ),because students played {#blank#}4{#/blank#}game inside when the weather outside became too cold for  sports. Now basketball {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(play) in many different countries around the world. Fans of basketball love playing the games in all seasons—spring, summer, fall, winter.

Jobs in Animal Care

Do you love animals? Do you think people must help and protect animals just like humans? Do you want to spend your days h{#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, maybe you should consider a job in animal care!

ANIMAL RIGHTS(权利) OFFICER:

Animal rights officers make sure that people treat animals properly. They visit homes, places where animals are bought and sold, such as zoos, and animal hospitals. They check to make sure that the places are clean, that the animals are getting proper nutrition(营养) and that they have enough s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to climb around and explore. Sometimes an animal rights officer will appear in court to protect the rights of an animal.

ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER:

To be an animal control officer, you must be in very good health because the job is an active one, i{#blank#}3{#/blank#} getting animals out of dangerous situations. For example, it's not always easy to get a cat down from a tree. Other times, animal control officers must take a s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} animal to the hospital for treatment(治疗). These animals are often in great pain, and are afraid and difficult to control.

ANIMAL DOCTOR:

An animal doctor is called a 'veterinarian' or 'vet'. Some animal doctors work for zoos or animal hospitals. Others, often called 'small animal doctors," treat smaller animals l{#blank#}5{#/blank#} dogs and cats. Many have their own private offices. Vets do most of the s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} things as doctors do. They take the animal's temperature, give injections(注射), and take X—rays. They also decide what kind of medicine a sick animal may need. If an animal w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} too little, the doctor may use a feeding tube(管) to make sure it gets enough nutrition. It takes six to seven years of higher education to become a doctor of veterinary medicine.

In the past,space tourism sounded like a dream,but now it is becoming a reality(现实).

On September 15,2022,an {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(America)company sent four people into space.The four spent three days in space{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(do)almost everything they could do on Earth.They{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fly)farther out than the International Space Station.

Just two months before,in July,British billionaire Jerry Branson had also travelled to space in spaceship made by{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(he)own company.

Spaceships by private(私人的)companies{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(able)the super rich to travel to space. Although each seat on the rocket cost millions of dollars,some people still want to know what it is like to be away{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the Earth.

Do you know that you are not outgoing enough? Do you want more friends, but are you too shy? Read the following rules. They will help you.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Always be clean. Shower, brush your teeth, and try to look nice. Dress in clothes that make you feel good and comfortable. Those make you feel more confident.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Try to smile more often at people. It will get them to think that you are friendly. Then they'll talk to you more even if they don't know you.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Some people worry about talking because they think, "What am I going to talk about with that person?" Outgoing people don't even think about it.  They just go up to people and say what they think.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} You can't just talk. People will think that you're self-centered. You have to listen to others and give your opinions. Let them know you care.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Don't just stay at home and do nothing. Surf the net for news and information, and talk about it when you're with friends.

If you've ever used pi in math class, you probably used the number 3.14. In fact, the number for pi is much longer. Pi is called an irrational number (无理数) because the digits (数位) after the decimal point (小数点) never end or repeat.

>In 2015, a young man from India named Rajveer Meena set a world record by memorizing 70,000 digits of pi. But pi is much longer than that. 

On Pi Day ( March 14th) this year, a company called Solidigm said it calculated (计算) pi to105 trillion (万亿) digits. And the 105 trillionth digit is 6. It broke the record for how many digits of pi we know. 

Pi is really useful for circles in math. It helps us connect the circumference with the diameter of a circle. 

Even NASA scientists use pi for their work of studying space. But they only need about 15 digits of pi for their calculations. 

Calculating pi also has another important use. It's how scientists test new computer programs and data storage systems (数据存储系统). 

Solidigm's calculation of pi took around 75 days to finish. The company's owner Brian 

Beeler said that the achievement needed a lot of work. They had to plan the calculation very carefully. 

This isn't the first time that Solidigm has calculated pi. In 2022, Google Cloud calculated 100 trillion digits of pi. Solidigm matched that in 2023. 

In the future, we'll keep finding more and more digits of pi. We'll never be able to calculate all the digits of pi because it goes on forever. But it still helps us see how great computers can be.
