On Saturday, after speed skater Gao Tingyu claimed gold in the men’s 500-meter speed skating event, he was asked by a reporter at a news conference to describe     1     personality. The 24-year-old from Yichun, Heilongjiang, replied in a self-deprecating way that he was “gelu”, which in the northeastern dialect means “offbeat.”

The word confused the interpreter     2     did not understand the dialect and translated the phrase into English as “I think I’m quite...glue”. Gao’s dialect soon made him     3     trending topic online, with many netizens amused and     4     (call) for an interpreter with greater proficiency in the northeastern dialect.

For the first time, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is at     1     loss for the “Word of the Year”. “The English language, like all of us, has to adapt rapidly and     2     (repeated) this year,” wrote OED.“    3     (give) the phenomenal breadth of language change and development during 2020, Oxford Languages came to the conclusion     4     this year cannot be described in one single word.”

2020 had plenty of trending words. From “bushfire” in January, when Australia suffered its.     5     (bad) fire season ever, to“ acquittal” in February, when US President Donald Trump's impeachment (弹劾) trial ended, 2020 had one big event after     6    .

Starting from March, a lot of words came like an avalanche. “COVID-19”, “lockdown”, “ social distancing” and “reopening” followed after“ coronavirus”.

    1     (think) about my time in France, I noticed quite a few differences between the French and the English.   In French, there are two ways     2     (say) “you”: “tu” is the informal form, while “vous” is the formal form. When I learnt French, I    3     (teach) to call everyone “vous” unless they were my family or a friend. So I was surprised that     4     (actual) everyone in France used “tu” all the time. But I continued to use “vous” because I didn't want people to think I was being     5     (polite). To be honest, I'm thankful that in English we don't have to worry about these things!   School children in the UK traditionally wear a school uniform but in France pupils do not wear a uniform. It was a culture shock     6     me to see children wearing Spiderman T-shirts and baggy blue jeans while in the classroom. The final difference which struck me was the     7     (relax) attitude at school. Teachers were never in     8     rush,   and the children and teachers are given long breaks and lots of time to eat     9     ( they) lunch. This is a contrast to the UK,     10     the school day might seem to be filled with pressure. I found the differences puzzling at times, but I cannot deny what a great opportunity it was to live in another country.

Cosmic rays are mysterious, high-charged atomic particles traveling through space at the speed of light,     1     have puzzled scientists for years. But for Yang Jia, a member of the National Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China’s top political advisory body, the ability to see and study them     2     help generate interest in science and space among schoolchildren.

Cosmic rays, first     3     (discover) in 1912, have been an enigma for years, but their detectability means they can be studied by middle and high school students with a basic knowledge of physics.

Yang, also a professor and a member of the Jiusan Society, a democratic political party, proposed further     4     (promote) the study of cosmic rays on school campuses at this year’s Two Sessions.

"It’s a wonderful idea. I heard a presentation from a scientist Zhang Chuang, and I was quite excited. I think it is a wonderful way     5     (share) their knowledge with young people. At that time, I heard in Los Angeles, there were already 80 high schools having such extra curriculums, and in Italy, there were 50. But in China, there were just a few," said Yang.

An organization called Campus Cosmic Ray Observation Collaboration     6     (establish) in September 2020 to promote the idea. Zhang, head of the organization, said they plan to build more stations on school campuses across China.

"We’ve been working on building more observation stations on campuses. At the moment, we have three in Dongzhimen, and we plan to set up more. Now we are working with three schools to build such stations. We also try to put our existing data on the website so that students can carry out related studies with open access," said Zhang.

    7     cosmic ray observation belongs to the field of frontier physics, experts say introducing it to the campus helps popularize science among students.

Chinese scientist Shen Changquan, 79,     8     (guide) Dongzhimen High School workshop for seven years since his retirement. He said such activities can help increase young students’ interest in science.

"By exposing students to cutting-edge science, students can stand on the shoulders of giants and touch a wider world. It’s not about     9     being scientists. It’s just that a lot of advanced equipment today requires physics knowledge, and improving the physics level of all people is very important," said Shen.

Talking about the future of the proposal, Yang said she is looking forward to seeing more dialogue between top scientists and students in China. She said they are optimistic, and     10     the difficulties ahead, the drive for humans to fully understand the unknown can never be stopped.
