Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and    1    the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the rocket rose into the air, we    2    (pull) back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth’s gravity. It was so     3    (strength) that we could not say anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to    4    (he). “Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from    5    tree I will fall to the ground.” I asked. “We are too far     6     the earth now to feel its pull,” he    7    (explain), “so we feel as if no gravity at all. When we get       8     (close) to the moon little by little, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as powerful a pull as the earth’s.” I cheered up immediately and floated    9    (weightless) around in our spaceship cabin     10     (watch) the earth become smaller and the moon larger.

Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said     1    was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready.

After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months     2    , but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We     3    (tell) that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week,     4    for the week after. I didn’t understand     5    this would happen and my credit card had already been charged     6    the reservation. What’s worse, the hotel had been     7    (full) booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was surprisingly helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on     8    top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.

The next day, my brother and I went to the beach     9    we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little     10    (sunburn), but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.

Animals may also become extinct due     1     being destroyed directly. This includes the hunting and capturing of animals. Humans have always hunted and killed wildlife but early humans lived more     2     (harmonious) with nature, who killed animals for essentials like food and clothing. When guns     3     (invent), mass destruction of species was possible. Animals have been, and still are, killed for meat, clothing, medicines, feathers, eggs, trophies (战利品), tourist souvenirs     4     (make) profits — and sometimes just for amusement.     5     their numbers are decreasing, some species are still hunted in     6     wild for the live pet trade.

The     7     (extinct) of at least 500 species of animals has been caused by man, most of them in this century. Today there are about 5,000 endangered animals and at least one species dies out every year. There are probably many more which become extinct without anyone     8     (know).

The main     9     (threat) to species then can be cited as illegal hunting, habitat loss and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has     10     (it) own “red list” of endangered species ranging from “least concern” through to “critically endangered”.
