I was excited to take my rescue Beagle to the river the other day, as it’s within walking distance of our new home.     1     (spend) her first three years in a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of water, and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her experience it.

I was growing     2     (increase) impatient about all the stops her little Beagle nose required. She inspected the grass, dirt, and trees, and licked whatever     3     (stick) to the road. These were all new     4     (discover) for her, and she took her time studying them.

When I accepted it was fruitless to hurry her along, I whipped out my cell phone and began texting. I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was slowing us down. Then,     5     some reason, I heard the cicadas, and I remembered the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound. That awakened something     6     (bury) within me that longed for the simple pleasures     7     had been replaced by technology.

I made a     8     (consciousness) decision to be present, and to enjoy the journey to the river Just like Georgie. Now, I admired the flowers and the winding ivy on our path. I smelled the grass and the flowers, and the dirt and the air. I treasured each one equally, as if discovering them for the first time.

As we neared our destination, 1 realized something even     9     (much) important: It didn’t matter if we even reached the river, why must there always be a destination? Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she completely enjoyed every bit of that sweet experience. There was no race     10     no finish line.

Now I’m not sure who rescued whom.

Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese festivals. It    1     (call) “Lunar New Year”,   because — as part of the lunisolar (阴阳的) Chinese calendar — the date is partially determined based on lunar phase (月亮或行星的相位). The festival traditionally     2     (begin) on the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival    3     is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year's Eve, a day when Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chu Xi. It literally means “Year-pass Eve”.

According to    4     (tale) and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against    5     mythical beastv(神兽)called Nian.   Nian would come on the first day of New Year to devour livestock (牲畜), crops, and even villagers,     6     (particular) children. To protect    7     (them),   the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the Nian    8     (eat) the food they prepared, it wouldn't attack people any more. One time, people saw that the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red. The villagers then understood that the Nian was afraid    9     the colour red. Therefore, every time when the New Year was about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used fireworks    10     (frighten) away the Nian. From then on,   Nian never came to the village again.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Palace Museum and Huawei signed a cooperation agreement on March 15. The two sides will set an example to 5G use .

The Palace Museum received more than 17 million visitors in 2019,     1     (make) it the most visited museum in the world. In the past 20 years, an office information network covering the whole museum     2    (build) gradually. The museum has developed an App     3    provides an in-depth explanation of cultural relic information and cultural services. Also, the museum has researched on the     4     (apply) of VR, AR, AI in museums.

    5    signing of the agreement marks a new chapter in the strategic cooperation between the Palace Museum and Huawei Technologies Co. So, Huawei will make efforts     6    (speed) up the intelligent construction of the Palace Museum.

"The 600-year-old Palace Museum has never been so close     7     science and technology." Shan Jixiang said     8     (proud) ,former director of the Palace Museum.

Shan shared many ideas about the 5G Palace Museum. With the help of advanced technology,     9    is expected that in the future, audiences around the world will be able to experience and visit the Palace Museum, whether it is a field trip or a virtual tour. Also, the use of AI technology provides a     10     (broad) platform and stronger knowledge support for cultural relics among young people.

At the delivery ceremony in Beijing last Saturday morning, the sample     1     (bring) back by China's Chang'e 5 was handed over to the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As it returned successfully, Chang’e 5     2     (become) the first lunar sample-return spacecraft since 1976. The sample,     3     includes 1,700 grams of lunar rocks and soil, is larger than previous ones. The great increase in its weight can be owed to Chang'e 5's lunar orbit unmanned docking (会合) program, in which the two parts of Chang'e 5 can     4     (automatic) combine into a whole in orbit.

It is also important to note that the greatest     5     (amaze) of the journey is Chang'e 5's lunar landing site-referred to     6     the Ocean of Storms-on the near side of the moon, where no probes (探测器) have paid     7     visit before. It's geologically younger than the sampling     8     (area) of the US and the former Soviet missions, so the new sample will help fill in an important piece of the puzzle of the Moon’s history.

The delivery marked the start of research into the sample, the administration said in a statement,     9     (add) that it will not merely publish guidelines on the sample's distribution and use,     10     will also encourage scientists from around the world to participate.

China has landed lunar probe （探测器）on an unexplored area of the moon     1     （successful）. The probe will remain on the moon collecting soil and rock samples until Thursday, guided by mission control on the ground. The robotic spacecraft     2    （name） Chang'e 5 after the Chinese goddess of the moon drilled into the surface of the moon to collect soil early Wednesday.

It's the first attempt     3    （get） rocks from the moon by any country since the 1970s. The samples, which     4    （expect） to weigh about 2 kilograms, will be sealed （密封） into a container in the spacecraft.

If successful, the mission will make China     5    third country to have got lunar samples, following the United States and the Soviet Union     6    （decade） ago.

When the samples are returned to Earth, scientists will be able to analyze the structure     7    material composition （组 成）of the moon's soil. The mission may help answer questions such as how long the moon remained in space, and when the magnetic field （磁场）of it — key to protecting any form of life     8    the sun — disappeared.

The spacecraft landed on an unvisited area of the moon, known as Oceanus Ocean of Storms. The landing     9    （mark） the third time a Chinese lunar probe has landed on the surface of the moon,     10    also makes the whole Chinese proud.

They will attack if you surprise them, so people carry bells when they are out walking or biking    4     (warn) the bears away.

    5    our first night we saw an amazing fireworks show. It doesn't get dark here until 10 o'clock, so it was a really late night for us.

Last night we     6    (ride) in a gondola 2000 meters to    7    top of Whistler Mountain. It was like floating in a glass bubble; so peaceful and still. The city lights were beautiful.

Today we canoed around the lake    8     had a very short swim. It was    9    (freeze). The weather has been sunny, but not like the weather at home.

Bye for now. We    10    (be) home next week.

Unluckily for my son Joey, he was born with two diseased feet. The doctor said that he would be able to walk with     1     (treat) but would never run very well. The first three years of his life    2     (spend) in hospital.

By the time Joey was eight, he could walk as     3     (normal) as others. Children in our neighborhood always ran around during their play,     4    Joey would run and play, too.

In the seventh grade, he decided to join the school running team.     5     (know) that only the top seven runners would be chosen, he trained    6     (hard) than anyone else. He ran four     7     five miles every day, even when he had a fever.

One day, I went to see him and found him running alone in the playground. I asked him     8     he felt. “I’m OK,” he said. He still had two more miles     9     (run). So he kept running.

Two weeks later, the seven team members were picked out, among     10    Joey was number six. Joey’s efforts paid off. I was very proud of him.
