Some people are great at remembering faces. While, there is evidence    1     for some people, remembering a face can be difficult. Even for others, remembering a face may be impossible. Such people have a condition     2     (call) “face blindness”. Its actual name is Developmental Prosopagnosia, or DP     3     short.

Experts say DP can differ greatly from patient to patient. In less severe cases, people are unable to describe the face of someone they have just met. In severe cases, people cannot even recognize    4     (they) own children in a group photo.

Those,     5     have DP, show no clear signs. Take Dacia for example. If you met her, you probably wouldn’t know that she suffered brain damage as a child. There would be no sign of it until you meet her     6     second time. She wouldn’t remember you at all. Dacia has mostly recovered from her     7     (injure). But now, she suffers form face blindness.

Once face blindness     8     (think) to be very rare. But recent     9     (study) have shown that it might be more common than experts thought. The study on face blindness will not directly lead to any treatments. However, it could lead to a much     10     (deep) understanding of how we all remember the world around us.

As schools close and millions of people across the United States work from home, the promise of companionship is prompting(促使) some to take in animals. The    1    (decide) to adopt pets flies in the face of some conventional wisdom that discourages adding a new animal     2    a household during a stressful or busy time of the year, such as the holidays. But so far the novel coronavirus    3    ( create) an almost parental leave-like situation for many people.

"There's no doubt    4    animals provide incredible comfort and companionship, especially during times of crisis- and they    5    (certain) appreciate the attention- so we encourage people     6    (continue) to adopt animals in need," said Malt Bershadker, president and chief executive of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

People are bringing home all kinds of living creatures for companionship during an unprecedented(空前的) time of social isolation(隔离), and they're sharing    7    (photo) or social media to provide a break from darker news.

Pets can also entertain younger family members at home- -Kenneth Lynch and Lauren Wakefield bought a blue-and-silver betta fish for their two young children to help develop    8    strong sense of responsibility with feeding it and    9    ( clean) the tank. This will help them "occupy some of their time in a more    10     ( health) manner" while they are home from school, Lynch said.

Some university students carried out a campaign    1    they celebrated their whole day without cell phones. This move was to improve their relationships with their near and dear ones and to keep them away from the virtual life.    2    (study) indicate that a majority of young people used their phones during lessons, over family meals or even at the cinema. The problem of phone    3    (addict) has been observed since a few years ago, with experts and psychologists    4    (try) to increase awareness about this problem.

Lionel Messi,     1     athlete from the South American country, is one of the greatest soccer players alive today. At a young age, he moved to Spain and now plays     2     (professional) for the FC Barcelona. Messi started playing soccer at the age of 5 for a small soccer team which     3     (own) by his father. Even as a young boy, he did very well. But when he was 11 years old, he found out he had a     4     (sick) which would prevent him     5     (grow) much taller. There was a way to help him grow more, but his parents did not have enough money for his medical needs. So they looked around for a soccer club     6     would be able to do this for them. The clubs in Argentina couldn’t help him.

    7     the famous FC Barcelona in Spain offered     8     (accept) Messi on the junior team and pay     9     the bills. The Messi family happily took the offer and moved to Spain. With his incredible talent, Messi     10       (surprise) the world since then.
