China has named 24,126 primary and middle schools across the country specialist football schools    1    (lead) youth football development, according to the Ministry of Education (MOE). At least one football class    2    (require) each week in these schools so that they can encourage their students to    3    (active) participate in football training and matches.

China aims to have 50,000 schools specializing in youth football by the end of 2025, said Wang Dengfeng, an official with the MOE,     4     (add) that to realize this goal, the ministry will take various measures that include building school football fields, training football coaches and providing extra funding and policy support.     5    those measures in schools, 47 football training camps have also been built in    6    effort to promote the sport among young people. And outstanding or    7    (gift) players will also have the chance to join inter-school teams for regional    8     (compete) and even national summer camps.

In the past four years, local education departments have trained about 40,000 football teachers, 8,000 of    9    have obtained coaching certificates.

Science experiments can help you to understand the reason behind anything and everything. As we grow up, we get to know many things which we would be     1     (astonish) to see as kids.     2     (make) a kid understand the difference between magic and reality, you need to show him the science behind it. You will not face any difficulty in doing so as they are always eager to know about it. It is a basic human ability to remember things which he     3    (watch)and does by himself. Hence(因此)practical exercises are very important for children in their daily life.

Few things you should keep in mind while     4    (select) the experiments for kids. The     5    (much) important thing is to take a simple concept. If the concept is too difficult,     6    will be difficult for children to finish that experiment. So you should select simple experiments which are right for their age. The other thing is that you need to choose     7     experiments which are not poisonous and with easy    8    (equip)and that can be handled    9    (easy)by your kids. Child's safety should be your priority(优先考虑的事情). I am going to give you some science experiments     10     will help you to make these small kids understand simple facts with complete safety in my next article.

I am taught by many teachers in my school. Every subject has a    1    (difference) teacher, but I like my math teacher    2    (well).Her name is Lakshmi but we usually call her Ma'am. She is our class teacher,too.

Ma'am    3    (join) us last term. She is very- kind and her way of teaching is so     4    (interest) and simple that we all can understand everything     5    is being taught. Most    6    ( important ), Ma'am teaches math with lots of patience. If we do not understand a problem, she will spend extra time    7    (explain) to us until we understand it. And we can go to her at any time during school hours for help.

She also helps us with activities at school. When there are some programs, she will be there     8    (help) us to get ready for the show. Even when we go on picnics, she takes good care of     9    (we).

To me, Ma'am is not only    10    good teacher, but also our best friend. I love Ma'am and I wish her a happy life.

Many years ago，a young foreigner     1    (call) Marco polo traveled all the way from Italy to China. From then on a window to the east has been     2    (open) for Westerners.Two kinds of gold coins once     3    (make) by Europeans showed their respects to the great explorer.

Marco Polo was     4    (bear) in 1254 .He lived in Venice, a rich city in Italy. Marco’s father and uncle were merchants. They had traveled to the east. So when Marco was young, he enjoyed     5     (listen) to the stories about the places     6    (visit) by his father. His father decided     7    (take)him on a trip. When Marco Polo was just 17, he left his country for China. They were among the first to go along the silk road. They had a lot of trouble in     8    (explore). So it was a hard trip for Marco Polo, but he was very brave. After about four years, Marco met Kublai Khan (忽必烈汗) who gave him a job. Marco spent 17 years     9    (work) for him.

He visited most parts of China. He learned lots of     10    (interest)things about Chinese life. When he returned home, he let others know about things like coal and paper money. He wrote about his trip in a famous book.

John Snow, a well-known doctor in London, became     1     (inspire) when he thought about helping ordinary people who     2     (expose) to cholera, a     3     (die) disease of its day. Many thousands of people died every time there was     4     outbreak because no one knew the cause of it, and John wanted to help solve the problem.

He got interested in two theories     5     (explain) how cholera killed people. He believed in the second theory     6     suggested that people absorbed the disease with their meals. In 1854, when another outbreak     7     (hit) London, he was ready to test the two theories.     8     the help of the map he made, he got a valuable clue about the cause of the disease and was able to announce that the water was     9     (blame). He also suggested the source of all water supplies     10     (examine).

In the mid-19th century, the world     1    (destroy) by cholera, a disease that killed thousands. In London, the epidemic (流行病) was particularly severe, with bodies piling up and fear running wild. In this chaos, a man named John Snow rose     2    (challenge) the invisible enemy.

John Snow,     3     medical doctor, had a keen interest in finding the source of cholera. He was not convinced by the then-common belief     4     cholera was spread through bad air. His suspicions were aroused     5     he noticed that most cases were concentrated around a single water pump in Soho. He investigated deeper,     6    (map) the pumps and associating them with cholera cases.

With detailed observation and courageous experimentation, John Snow identified the polluted water    7     the “criminal” behind the epidemic. He convinced authorities to remove the handle of the pump,     8    (effective) stopping the spread of cholera. His actions saved     9    (count) lives and marked a significant turning point in public health history.

John Snow’s lasting impact serves as a     10    (remind) of the strength of observation, logical reasoning, and decisive action in the face of challenges.
