Lastnight I was preparing for the coming examination when I heard loud noise frommy neighbor's house. The1wenton and on. It was2loudthat I could hardly pay attention to my study any longer. So I went to myneighbor's house and knocked at the door. The young man looked3when he4 me standing outside his door.

Isaid to him: "5,could you please turn down the TV? I'm preparing6tomorrow's exam."7he heard these words, hisface turned red. And he said politely, "I'm sorry to have made so muchnoise. Just now, the football game was very wonderful.I was too excited to control8. I won't bother（打扰）you again.9 in yourcoming exam." Then, he10 the TV and continued to watchthe game. After that, I got down to my study.

Ray was thought to be a strange boy. One day when he was flying his kite, he said to himself," Did anybody ever try to fly a kite at night? I think it must be very fun. But the kite can't be seen in the dark. What if I tie a light to it? That would be really good. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(try) it tonight."

As soon as it was dark, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) his kite and lantern, and went to a large field about a mile from his home. He tied the lantern to the tail of his kite. The lantern {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) of paper. The kite flew higher and higher. He tied the string (线)to a tree, and then he stood there, staring at his kite. It floated (飘) high up into the air. How wonderful! While Ray {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(enjoy) his special kite, some people in the village also saw it.

"Look! A light{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (fly) in the sky," one person said. "It can't be a light," said a man.

"Perhaps it's a big firefly (萤火虫) ,"said another,

"Maybe it's a comet (彗星),"said another man.

"How strange!" said a boy.

"Let's find out what this strange light{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be)," the last one said. Then they went to the field.

Ray, who had gotten tired of standing, was sitting behind a tree. He{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see) the men as they came, but they didn't see him. When they reached under the light, and saw what it was, they looked at each other and said, "There is nothing unusual {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(happen)! This is just a trick of some naughty boys, but it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fool) us all.

Let's keep the secret. "Then they laughed and went back to the village. When the men had gone, Ray thought it was time for him {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(go), so he went home, too. When his mother heard what he had done, she hardly knew whether to laugh or scold (责备), but just told him to go to bed.

These is a photo of Paul's family. The boy is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Paul. He is America. Now he is in China with {#blank#}2{#/blank#}his parents. His father is a English teacher at a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}school. His mother is a manager. Her works in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a big company (公司) . His elder brother Martin is in the front of them. He is a bus {#blank#}5{#/blank#} drive. He is busy (忙碌的) every day. Paul's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}sister is next at him. She works in a hospital. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}She is a doctor. There is a cat in them family. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}Its name is Kitty but it is very lovely (可爱的) . {#blank#}9{#/blank#}They all love it. Paul's grandparent are in {#blank#}10{#/blank#}America. They have a big farm there. 

It is reported that 360, 000 tons of the textiles(纺织品) thrown away in the UK every year {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) clothes. The average piece of clothing is only worn 10 {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(time) before it is thrown away. If each adult gave away all the clothes not worn in the past year to charity shops, 

4. 9 billion kilograms of CO₂ emissions(二氧化碳排放) could {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(save).

The result led to an activity called Second Hand September. The activity encourages more people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(buy) secondhand clothes and give away what they no longer need or wear for 30 days. In this way, its organizers hope to reduce waste and fight climate change. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} you're interested in it, take a look at them below. 

Pack up the clothes you don't want or like and ask your friends. They are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(like) to have some clothes they don't like or want either, so you can give {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(you) to them and they can give theirs to you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} return. One's trash could be someone else's treasure. 

Give your old clothes a new life. For example, turn {#blank#}9{#/blank#} old-looking pair of jeans into a pair of shorts or dye(给……染色) an old shirt a new color. Not only can you make the clothes special, but you can also make the clothes you love last longer. Why not get {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (create)?

What's the weather going to be like tomorrow？In fact，we can know it by checking out nature. 

Want to know how hot it is outside？Listen to a cricket （蟋蟀）!The more it sings in a minute，the hotter it is. Spiders（蜘蛛） can make a prediction of cold weather. If you find a lot of spiders inside your house，it means it might get cold soon. Spiders go indoors when the weather is cool，so be careful with them in the dark places of your home. 

Pine cones （松果） can tell whether dry weather is coming. Pine cones open their scales （鳞片） when the weather gets very dry. They do this to spread seeds（传播种子）. When the air is a little wet，they close up to keep their seeds dry. Pine seeds travel by wind，so they have to stay as dry and light as possible in order to fly. 

Nature is man's teacher. Man should protect the nature，and man should get along well with it. There is much more that people can learn from nature. 

You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart?Met Laura,a robot in the National Library in Madrid. Spain,copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora,a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1. 8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6,waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. 

Those robots above require artificial intelligence(AD)（人工智能）. AI is a computer system（系统）that can understand languages,make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books,photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. 

_________ For example, when you watch TV,Al is watching you. It'll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals,AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste,some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. Al can help us fight climate（气候）change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. 

Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However,AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam（交通堵塞）. Humans imagine AI might even use a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway,there is still long journey for humans and AI.
