Nemo’s Garden is the world’s first underwater farm. Now, tomatoes, strawberries and some other plants are growing inside its round pods (舱) under the sea, just off the coast of Noli, Italy.

Ocean Reef Group     1    (start) the underwater garden project in 2012     2    (find) new ways to farm that could help the planet in the future. The group’s six plastic pods     3    (fill) with air, but their bottoms are open to the sea. Through evaporation (蒸发), fresh water collects on the insides of the pods, and then goes back down to help plants in the pods grow.

Because the pods aren’t very deep under water, the plants still get enough     4    (nature) light from the sun. There is also little need     5     pesticides as insects can’t get into harm the plants. However,     6    (train) divers are needed to swim down and take care of the plants.

Ocean Reef Group’s Luca Gamberini told     7     magazine that the plants taste different too. “They taste even     8    (strong),” he said. For now, Nemo’s Garden is     9    (most) used as a laboratory     10     tries different ways to grow different kinds of plants under the sea.

Daily activities and     1     (ceremony) to show filial piety (孝顺) have been an essential part of traditional Chinese virtues. And one important occasion to practise this tradition in autumn is the Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival, which     2     (observe) on the ninth day of the ninth month on the Chinese lunar calendar. Families will take senior members to climb up mountains to enjoy the cool and refreshing air of the fall, and appreciate a     3     (various) of chrysanthemums (菊花), with the aim of     4     (cheer) up the elderly group and making them well-prepared for the coming winter.

This year, the Chongyang Festival fell     5     October 4 during the National Day Holiday. China Traditional Cultural Museum held a series of public programs to     6     (rich) people’s holiday and promote the atmosphere of the Chongyang Festival.

    7     (experience) artists of traditional handicrafts were at the site to demonstrate skills and crafts that relate to the lives of old people in the past. For example, Jin Tieling, an inheritor (继承人) of Beijing silk flower making, showed how     8     (create) a chrysanthemum with silk. He Kaiying from the time-honored brand Neiliansheng demonstrated the process of making cloth shoes in the old style     9     remains a favorite among the elderly, and Zhang Quanling, a famous practitioner of tai chi, gave     10     lecture on how the gentle moves benefit seniors’ well-being.

The museum hoped the programs not only brightened up the life of old people but also passed on the filial beliefs to the younger generations.

Being a good sports parent is like being a good school parent. To make sure your kids get the most out of their participation, you need to participate too. Positive involvement in sports    1    (mean) you provide support    2    practical help.

If possible, volunteer and back up the coach’s decisions and lessons, and help create an environment where your kids can succeed. And then, you step back and let them do the hard work.

Be a role model. Exercise    3    (regular) and talk about how it makes you feel more energetic. You might even work out together, help them practice skills, or have them teach you some of what they    4    (learn) about their chosen sports. Research indicates that physically active parents tend to have physically active children.

Your young athletes also need to keep their bodies in good shape to perform well and reduce the risk of injury. Through words and deeds, you can help them achieve these    5    (goal). Serve healthy foods to your family and remind your kids    6    the importance of good nutrition.

Being a good sports parent is not    7    easy task. But your child is more likely    8    (have) a positive and enriching experience of playing sports if you focus on being a good sports parent. Just be sure to refrain (克制) from applying too much    9    (press) or setting unrealistic expectations, and both you and your child will find the experience    10    (reward) and a great opportunity to build memories.

Zhang Guimei, the principal of Huaping High School for Girls, was granted the July 1 Medal, the Party’s highest honor, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China.The school     1    (found) by Zhang in 2008.

The school,     2     lots of students can continue to study, is the first high school in the country     3    (provide) free education for girls. The girls would otherwise have been unable to continue their studies     4     completing their nine years of compulsory education.

Anybody who knows Zhang’s own conditions will be more deeply moved by her. She has no personal property, and     5    (live) in the student dormitory since its founding. She has spent most of her salary and the bonuses on her students. Besides her work with the school, she also has a part-time job as head of the local orphanage,     6    (care) for more than 130 orphans.

Thanks to her high degree of consciousness and     7    (devote), about 40 percent of the school’s graduates have been admitted to key universities. More than 1,800 girls from poor families have entered universities via her education.     8     she has done will be long remembered and encourage more to follow her example. Now, with Zhang having got the honorary title, education for girls from poor     9     (region) will receive more attention, which will     10    (hopeful) bring more resources and assistance.

China has transformed into a cashless society thanks to the e-payment apps and more than 1 billion smartphone owners. Although there are no     1    (office)data,about 80 percent of the Chinese people no longer carry“enough”cash with     2     (they). The last time I saw someone paying in cash was a month ago when a senior citizen     3     (pay) for his purchase in a supermarket. Both the checkout staff     4     customers waiting behind the elderly person looked impatient.

To ensure that those who want to pay     5    cash are not laughed at—most of     6    are aged people not familiar with mobile apps — the central authorities have issued a regulation saying shops should not refuse cash payment, and those who do so will be punished.

So popular has e-payment become that even beggars outside some scenic     7     (spot), according to a media report, refuse     8     (accept) cash.Instead, they carry a board with QR code and ask the kind-hearted souls to scan. I thought it was not true until I came across a     9     (visual)impaired(受损的)beggar outside a Beijing hospital     10     (carry)a board with a QR code along with a cardboard box for cash bills and coins.

Thanks to our country’s efforts, traditional Chinese culture today is shining with a new vitality,     1     is     increasingly appealing to younger generations both at home and abroad.
