A conservation organization, Earth Rangers,    7    (take) action to address the problem of eco-anxiety since it noticed that.

It says, Eco-anxiety does have a big effect    8    children in many ways. This includes feelings of fear and hopelessness. It is    9    (importance) to research and understand the ways in which we can help children deal with these feelings     10    (effective).

There are many great philosophers in ancient China. Confucius，    1    was one of the    2    (great) philosophers, stressed the importance of kindness, duty and order in society.

Since then, Chinese society    3     (influence) by his ideas. Mencius，    4    (bear) in 372 BC, was a student of Confucius's ideas. So, his teachings were similar to    5     of Confucius.

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a     1     (total) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.

Yet many       5     (difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely     6     their new surroundings. Also, they often find it hard     7     (develop) new friendship. Additionally, for a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new country     8     to return to his homeland.

    3    (loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid     4    (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel    5    (challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a     6    (science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching     7     these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find     8    (they) alive. True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal     9    (mean)me no real harm. He was just saying: "I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder!" Once his message was delivered, he allowed me     10     (stay)and watch.
