Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. She became interested in animal stories when she was a very young child. She always dreamed of working with wild     1     (animal).   When she was eleven years old, she decided that she wanted     2     (go) to Africa to live with and write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women usually did in the 1940s. Everybody was laughing except her mother. “If you     3     (real) want something, you work hard, you take advantage of the opportunity, you never give up,and you will find a way,” her mother said to her. The opportunity     4     (come) at last. A school friend invited her to Africa. Jane worked as     5     waitress until she got enough money to travel there.

In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an assistant. He later asked her to study a group of chimpanzees     6     (live) by a lake in Tanzania. Very little was known about wild chimpanzees at that time.

Jane spent many years studying chimpanzees     7     this area of Africa. It was no easy work. They were very shy     8     would run away when she came near. She learned to watch them from far away using binoculars (双筒望远镜). Over time, she slowly gained     9     (they) trust. Watching the chimpanzees, she made many discoveries. They ate vegetables and fruit. But she found that they also ate meat. A few weeks later, she made an even more     10     (surprise) discovery. She saw chimpanzees making and using tools to help them catch insects.

Bird-watching has been included in a public benefit program “Park Classes” in Wuhan schools.     1    (bury) in books and having little access to the outside world, many students don’t have the     2    (little) idea of what nature really is.

This program is designed     3    (raise) the awareness of environmental protection among school kids,     4     often feel greatly refreshed by appreciating the grace of the adorable creatures through cameras.

Among the selective courses     5    (be) the restoration of small and micro wetlands. As for this course, what     6    (need) is a lot of hands-on practice. Under the     7    (guide) of their teachers, students are required to conduct research on a 500-square-meter wetland in the city parks. Focusing their attention     8     the wetland’s physical condition, they have recorded the number of plant and animal species to create a restoration plan. Thanks to their efforts, the biodiversity of the wetland has been     9    (significant) improved.

“It’s very meaningful,” said Li Chenliang,     10     eighth grader from this project. “I have gained a lot of knowledge that cannot be directly got from books. I should make full use of the city’s ecological advantages and get more chances to get closer to nature.”

The UN Environment Programme says rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.

Migrating animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter     1     warmer areas. “Obviously these animals have developed their travelling     2     (pattern) over thousands of years. But     3     is extremely unlikely that they can change their habits fast,” said the report’s author Dr Robert Hepworth.

So far, scientists     4     (discover) that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. It also provides evidence that some turtles are     5    (likely) to develop cancer than others. Other animals     6     (pick) out as particularly in danger include: the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food     7     (disturb) by the change in ocean flows and the White-Nose Dolphin,     8     is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.

Even with major climatic changes,     9    (protect) the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. “We need governments to start taking action,” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting themselves to these changes. As the report mentions, whales are changing their feeding behavior     10     (find)new feeding grounds and new food to eat.

Without the usual smoggy days, local     1    (resident) have been happy with the air quality since the heating season started. They open the window to air their homes. In social media, pictures of blue skies and white clouds     2    (frequent) appear,     3    (show) people's excitement with the clear days.

In Shanxi,     4     major coal production province, burning coarse coal(粗煤)for heating used to be a main source of air     5     (pollute). The government has been striving to change all this. It has launched a campaign to replace coarse coal     6     clean fuels for heating since 2017.

More than 38 percent of the heating companies- in Shanxi had applied advanced equipment with higher efficiency and     7    (low) emissions (排放)by the end of 2019,     8     (compare) with 25.5 percent at the end of20l7. It     9     (estimate) that the number can reach 50 percent by the end of this year,     10     is the goal of the government.

On April 16, a fire     1     (destroy) the spire (尖塔) and roof of the 580-year-old cathedral Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院). Citizens of Paris gathered around the giant church,     2     (sing) hymns (圣诗) and praying. The church,     3     was built in 1163, is a historical and     4     (art) treasure. It combined Gothic art with Christian architecture     5     it led to taller and     6     (awesome) churches throughout Europe. Notre Dame is also home     7     many religious artifacts (手工艺品), paintings and sculptures.     8     (fortune), its world-famous stained glass rose windows survived the fire. Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, the Hunchback of Notre-Dame, brought the church to the world’s attention. French President Emmanuel Macron promised     9     (reconstruct) the building. “ Notre Dame is our history, it’s our literature, it’s our imagery,” he said in     10     public speech.

Jingdezhen porcelain(瓷器)is Chinese porcelain produced in or near Jingdezhen in southern China. Jingdezhen has produced porcelain     1     (century)ago. And the town     2    was named Jingdezhen by Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty became a major kiln(窑)site around 1004.During the period, the     3    (produce)of porcelain in this area first became     4    (know).By the 14th century it had become the largest centre of producing Chinese porcelain, which remained in the following times. In the Ming Dynasty, official kilns in Jingdezhen     5    (control)by the emperor, making quality porcelain in large quantities for the emperor to give abroad as gifts. As a result, the town was     6    (close)linked to the world.

Although being a remote town in a hilly area, Jingdezhen is near the quality porcelain stone and forests which can provide plenty of wood for the kilns. It also has     7    river flowing from north to south,     8    (benefit)the transport of the fragile objects.

Jingdezhen has produced a great variety of     9     (value) porcelain. As a result, the town is famous     10     the “Porcelain Capital”. One type of its well-known high quality porcelain object is the blue and white porcelain from the 1330s.
