Many teenagers are considering what they want to do when they graduate     1    high school. I am fortunate that I've made a plan for my future. I     2     (decide) to become a vet when I was two or three years old. I want to be one of those     3    treat the animals with respect and dignity.

Because of this, I am doing all I can at Reavis High School to make     4    (preparation) for my success in college .As a freshman at Reavis , I keep in mind my lifelong dream of     5    (become) a vet. I have been taking my education here very     6    (serious). I know that a person needs to be not only     7    (skill), but also extremely disciplined in order to become a vet. I have learned to manage my time properly and I work hard     8     (earn) good grades. When I go to college, I will study and learn about all species of animals. I     9    (be) able to help them and find happiness as a vet when animals need my assistance.

In a word, I find     10     a particularly valuable chance to study in Reavis where my dream begins.

He thought that he would be able to get the job     1     he had been the first in the     2    (examination) for four consecutive years in college, but his teacher advised him not to count his chicken before they were hatched. He should try his best. On the day of interview, seeing the     3    (excite) candidates queuing outside of the company, he was worried about his chance. But     4    (lucky), he made it.

Climate change has been a hot topic nowadays. There is little doubt     1       the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. Evidence has shown that it has had     2       (great) affected the Earth’s ecology,     3       (cause) both serious damage and human death. Thus, it is our     4       (responsible) to take immediate measures to deal with it.

Although I     5       (turn) down by Captain Shackleton, I decided to go aboard his ship secretly. I hid myself in the cupboard on the ship. After I was discovered three days later, Captain Shackleton hired me     6     a steward to serve meals for the crew. I felt very honored to work for Shackleton,     7    a reputation as an explorer was widely recognized.

    8     (understand)Western art better, we need to spend some time looking at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, there were many famous artists, Giotto di Bondone was a     9     (represent). He began to care more about real people instead of religious contents.

    10    , his paintings were set apart from the paintings in the early stage of the Middle Ages.

Daniel Susskind has written about the threat posed by machine-learning     1     doctors, lawyers and the like in “The Future of the Professions”.

In the past, the relationship between machine and human labour     2    (drive) by two factors: the substituting effect, which caused people to lose jobs, and the improving effect, which allowed employees to do     3     work more productively.     4     author worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will dominate. Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities. A few     5    (high) paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will struggle to find work.

This     6    (depress) view of the impact of technology is possibly true. But so is a more optimistic outlook, as the economist Roger Bootle showed in “The Al Economy: Work, Wealth and Welfare in the Robot Age”,    7    (publish) last year. Mr. Bootle argued that AI and robotics would improve productivity and economic     8    (grow). As for employment, there will always be demand for services with the human touch, just as there is an appetite for homemade     9     (loaf) as well as sliced white bread.

Recently, employment has surged in both America and Britain, suggesting     10     technology has not led to widespread labour replacement.

In recent years, shared vegetable plots     1    (find) in the city’s suburban (郊区的) districts in Shanghai as more white-collar workers turn to farming     2    (escape) the pressures of city life.

Yang Hui is one of them. He has rented a 20-square-meter vegetable plot for 1600 yuan per year. The family tends radishes (白萝卜), lettuces and other vegetables they have planted. When they aren’t around during the week,     3    (professional) take over the work.     4     (found) by Chen Yougui     5     October 2022, the shared farm spans about 13.33 hectares (公顷) and comes with shared vegetable plots, barbecue pits and leisure areas. According to Chen, the monitoring system covers     6     entire farmland, allowing members to view their vegetables and fields remotely through their phones.

This farm has about 200 members, some of     7     even raise chickens and ducks running in the fields. Interestingly, each animal comes with its own QR code (二维码). The farm also uses technology to ensure that the chickens and ducks don’t go missing     8     run in someone else’s plot.

Those who wish to     9    (active) participate in the cultivation (种植) of their crops, mainly from the older generations, can opt (选择) for the package to plant by     10    (they). Meanwhile young customers, like Yang, usually choose a package that comes with additional services from the farm to care for their plants whenever needed.
