Everybody knows that eating carrots on     1     daily basis is good for our eyesight. A new study suggests that grapes are also     2     (benefit) to our eyes. The study     3     (publish) in the scientific journal Food & Function investigated the benefits of regular     4     (consume) of grapes to eye health. Researchers have found that eating just a few grapes a day can improve our vision. This is     5     (particular) so for people who are older. Science has shown that an aging population has a higher risk of eye disease and vision problems. “Grapes have a positive impact     6     eye health in humans, which is very exciting, especially for older people. Our study is the first     7    (reveal) it,” said Dr. Kim, the lead researcher.

The study involved 34 adults and     8     (design) to test the effects of grapes. Half of the participants ate grapes per day; the other half ate a placebo (安慰剂）snack.     9     (conduct) a series of experiments over a span of 16 weeks, Dr. Kim found that people who ate the grapes had increased muscle strength around the retina (视网膜),     10     function is to pass information about light to the brain via electrical signals.

We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our daily lives. Body language can make us learn a lot about     1     people are thinking. Just like spoken language, body language     2    (vary) from culture to culture. For example, the gesture for “ OK ” has     3    （differ） meanings in different cultures. Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. If we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing     4    (good) than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.

Your home will learn your daily routines and     5    （preference）, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. Your home will use sensors to tell when you leave home, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all by     6    （it）. All controls will respond     7     voice commands.

In the early 19th century, an outbreak of cholera hit Europe. John Snow was determined to find out why. Snow doubted     8     the water pump should be responsible for it. At last, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump     9    （remove）. Through his efforts, the disease was stopped in its tracks.     10    （fortunate）, we now know how to prevent cholera.

Gently removing the upper and lower layers of the hardwood cover, Yang Liqun takes out a sheet of paper that     1    （repair）.The gap in the ancient manuscript has been filled     2     its former softness restored.

Yang. a 64-year-old restorer from the Yunnan Ancient Books Preservation Center, launched a project to salvage(抢救)the     3     （severe）damaged five ancient brochures of Cham, the creation epic of the Yi ethnic group. Yang says the restored books should regain their     4    （origin）appearance, and the restoration process should be reversible(可逆的), meaning any repair materials can be removed easily if necessary.

    5    （base）on the specific condition of the damaged parts, restorers will come up with an appropriate plan on     6     case-by-case basis and repair them through patching, uncurling, reshaping pages and binding.

Books     7    （belong to different ethnic groups served different functions and thus were stored in various conditions,     8     presented restorers with a range of challenges. As they were used for worship, Yi documents are often burned or greasy(油腻的),     9     the pages of ancient Tibetan books have become stuck together due to     10    （humid）. Yang recalled his salvage of the Nagela Cave Tibetan Scripture, an ancient classic of Lamaism. “Mixed with mud, the pages were so messed up that we began with a solid ‘brick’.” he says.

Yuan Longping,     1     (know) as the “father of hybrid rice”, was one of China’s most famous scientists. Yuan Longping was born in 1930 in Beijing. When he was young,     2     concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests so he chose to study at Southwest Agricultural College and graduated in 1953. Working     3     a researcher, Yuan developed the first hybrid rice in 1974 through intense effort. Yuan’s     4     (innovate) has helped feed not just China, but many other countries. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping received numerous     5     (award) in China and abroad

Yuan Longping,     1     (know) as the “world father of hybrid rice”, has won the life science section of the Future Science Prize, with two other scientists.

“There is no limit     2     scientific research, and I still have a dream     3     is hybrid rice going global and covering the whole world,” Yuan said in a video address at the award ceremony for the 2018 Future Science Prize in Beijing on Sunday. “I hope hybrid rice can be     4     (benefit) to people around the world and play a big role in     5     (enhance) world food security.”

Hybrid rice can feed an additional 70 million Chinese people every year,     6     (make) huge contributions to ending hunger in the country, Yuan said.

Yuan is a pioneer in hybrid rice research. He     7     (develop) the first hybrid rice in 1974.

The 88-year-old agricultural scientist shared the Life Science Prize along     8     Zhang Qifa and Li Jiayang for their pioneering work in breeding (培育) new rice    9     (vary) with high produce and better quality.

Touted (誉为) as “China’s Nobel Prize”, as both are privately funded, the Future Science Prize was instituted by a group of entrepreneurs (企业家) and scientists in 2016    10     (honor) top Chinese scientists in life science, physical science, mathematics and computer science.
