    9     (comment)on the Chinese winners of the Hugo Awards, sci-fi writer Han Song wrote on Sina Weibo that it shows that a new force of Chinese sci-fi     10     (rise), and sci-fi has become a name card and a language for China to communicate with the world.

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) refers to the study of human physiology, pathology, disease diagnosis and the     1     (prevent) and control of diseases.

In terms of the research approaches, TCM regards each individual     4    a whole entity with the focus on zangfu (the organs inside a human body) and jingluo (the primary channels that crisscross the body). It has its own     5    (base) principles of diagnosis and treatment, which build the foundation of a systematic theory.

Su Bingtian of China set a new Asian record when he clocked 9. 83 seconds in the men's 100-meter sprint（短跑）semifinal at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. Though he only ranked sixth in the final, he recorded a     1     （respect）9.98 seconds.0.18 seconds behind the winner Lamont Marcell Jacobs of Italy.

Besides     2     （set）the shortest time record for Asia, Su is also the first Chinese     3     （make）it to the men's 100-meter Olympic final. He has done remarkably well. Considering that at 32, he is much older than his     4     （competitor）who are mostly in     5     （they）20s or even younger. Also, his 172 centimeter height is not     6     one would call a dream height for a sprinter.

The spirit and motto of Olympics inspired Su     7     （true）, who continued even though most of his teammates retire by the time they turn 28. Su and other athletes are further proof of China's arrival in sports.

For the moment, the days have passed when China was     10     extremely weak sports country, and we hope Chinese sportsmen realize more glorious achievements in the days to come.

The Great Pyramid was built nearly 5,000 years ago for a king    1     (call) Khufu. It is on the west bank of the Nile River.    2    (actual), all the pyramids along the Nile River are on its west bank. The ancient Egyptians thought of the rising of the sun as the beginning of life and the    3    (set) of the sun as the end of life. This is why their bodies    4    (bury) on the west of the Nile.
