In the new century, “smart clothes” are used not only for     1     your body, but for many other kinds of uses. Some kinds of smart clothes have come into the market. A German clothing maker has     2     the “MP3 blue jacket”. This kind of jacket can be used as s MP3 player and a     3     phone. An English company has developed a cloth keyboard that can be     4     onto your pants. You can control your computer with it easily anywhere. If it gets dirty, the keyboard can be     5     and even ironed.

As the technology improved, smart clothes will get much smarter. Researchers are developing clothes that can show your body temperature and     6     you up before you feel cold. Other smart clothes are special medical ones. They can tell the doctor when you are in     7    . This technology can also provide (提供) important information about your     8    . Shirts can warn you of high pollution levels. Jackets with GPS technology can keep you from getting     9    .

People have begun to love the ideas. Probably smart clothes will one day be     10     on Paris’ streets-and even in your own home.

Technology and environmental protection are closely linked. With technology, we can     1     changes in our environment. This helps us understand the influence of what humans do to nature. Paying attention to this relationship is     2     for Earth’s future. Today, we have many tools     3     to help us. We can use these tools to find better ways to protect the environment. Nowadays, we use satellites (卫星) to research pollution levels and decide where to     4     our cleaning efforts. It’s important to keep using technology to help the environment. By doing so, we can ensure a healthier planet for everyone.

A doctor could put a tiny（微小的）robot into our body. It could search for the illness and send the medicine     1     there!

This year’s winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine is from Japan. He also looks at small things. He finds that cells（细胞）can     2     old ones and use the useful parts to make new cells, or fight off viruses（病毒）. How     3     our body is! Scientists hope this new finding can help prevent many diseases.

The Japanese scientist also gave some advice to the next     4    . “I’d like to tell young people that not all can be successful in science, but it’s important to rise to the challenge.” he said.

Your name is very important. Right now，the two most popular     1     for babies in the United States are “Jack” for boys and “Emily” for girls. Why are these names popular? And why are some names unpopular?

Names can     2     popular because these names come     3     famous actors, TV or book heroes, or     4     players. Popular names mean very positive things. Unpopular names mean very negative(消极的)things. Surprisingly, people     5     have similar opinions about names.

Internet is educational. Many people think children should be     1     to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way， they can look through different subjects on different     2     of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion， children should always be watched，     3     they are surfing the Internet，

Many websites have information and pictures     4     children should not see. There are many things children don't understand. All of these may have some     5     influence on children's development. Also，it is more dangerous to let children use chat rooms（聊天室）by     6     .

Many parents tell their children not to talk to     7     on the street， so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the       8     ， too. What's more，sitting in front of a computer     9     a long time isn't good for children's eyes， so parents monitor（监督）the time that children spend on the Internet.

In a word， children should be kept away from anything that could be bad for them. I     10     believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use the Internet.

Few people like changing their habits, good or bad. Whether it is smoking, drinking or over-eating, they     1     “enjoying” them to the end.

On every packet of cigarettes（香烟）, people are warned against the     2     of smoking: “Warning: Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health.”     3    , millions of them start smoking or go on smoking. Why?

Facts show that families and surroundings（环境）play a very important part in     4     smokers. All those smokers come from smoking families or have smoking     5     or relatives. Films and TV plays also play a part. People     6     their “heroes” on TV drinking alcohol（酒）or smoking cigarettes. “Heroes” seem to fear     7    , neither killing themselves nor killing others with alcohol and cigarettes. If they are not afraid of the harm of smoking and drinking,     8     should common people be afraid?

The simple warning on the cigarette packet does not influence smokers’ habits. Even     9     warnings, like showing pictures of smokers who have died of cancer, don’t seem to work.

Knowing and believing seem to be two     10     things. If smoking is really as harmful as doctors say, it is time for smokers to think about it and try to give it up!

This year, an English﹣Chinese nursery (幼儿园) opens in London. It is the     1     nursery to teach (教) Chinese in the UK.     2     name is Happy Chinese. At Happy Chinese, there     3     some English teachers and Chinese teachers. The children study Chinese. They listen to and sing songs     4     English and Chinese. They enjoy Chinese cartoons. They have fun there. They     5     bread and hamburgers. They also eat Chinese food like jiaozi and     6    . They like the food.

How     7     is it for a student to go to Happy Chinese? Now it’s about £1, 500 a month. It is expensive (贵的),     8     parents think the nursery is good. They want their     9     to know about China. They think it’s     10     to speak Chinese well.
