In recent years, Tianqiaoling forest area in Jilin Province has attached high importance     1     the protection and construction of the forest’s ecological environment. As a result, the ecological quality of the forest area has significantly improved,     2     (lead) to a continuous increase in the population of wild animals. According to monitoring data, there are at least seven wild Siberian tigers     3     three wild Amur leopards wandering in the forest area. During the spring and autumn    4     (season), a large number of migratory birds visit the area, and rare bird species are     5     (frequent) spotted.

Tianqiaoling has been continuously promoting the integrated protection and restoration of     6     (it) mountains, waters, forests and wetlands. It has also strictly implemented (实施) a management system     7     (increase) the cultivation (培育) and protection of forest resources effectively. Regular ecological patrols (巡查) have been carried out to further strengthen the ecological patrol network.

Smart monitoring provides    8     scientific protection network for biodiversity conservation. So far, Tianqiaoling     9     (cooperate) actively with research institutes to expand the application of new technologies, methods and     10     (equip), enabling the timely monitoring of changes in the activities of wild animals.

In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from big cities to small cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get     1     (involve). Some organizers are working with folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act     2     tour guides for their Citywalk experiences.

One such enthusiast     3     (explore) new possibilities in the tourism industry now is Xiao Yiyi, a young businessman from Changsha. Recently she     4     (launch) six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, aiming to offer visitors     5    experience to “walk in open-air museums.”

Xiao Yiyi’s Citywalk route in Changsha includes more unusual     6     (sight) like 19^th-century historical architecture, artsy old alleys (小巷) and even a stop-off to sample the local spicy food.

Even though Citywalk is a     7     (relative) new concept, industry experts believe that     8     (it) potential is huge. It not only offers a way for young people to interact with a city in a meaningful way but also provides them with a new social scene     9     individuals with similar interests can connect and form friendship. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to deliver services     10     (meet) with ever-changing market demands.

Long-term tai chi exercise can be used as a treatment for patients suffering from early-stage Parkinson’s disease(帕金森病), said a research team from Shanghai.

Parkinson’s is     1     progressive and disabling disease of the nervous system, resulting in slowness of movement, uncontrollable arm and leg shakes and muscle inflexibility.     2     is predicted that there     3    (be)nearly 5 million Parkinson’s sufferers in China by 2030. Doctors say patients face problems with current treatments, including some side effects     4    (cause)by long-term medication, and the limited     5    (improve)of patients’ well-being.

In the research,     6     began in 2016, a total of 143 participants trained with coaches twice a week and practiced     7    (regular)at home. Their conditions     8    (compare)with a 187-patient control group. Evaluations of patients in the two groups showed differences in their yearly levels of disease progression, and the patients     9    (practice)tai chi also needed less medical treatment in terms of both drugs and deep-brain stimulus.

Tai chi has been pursued as a treatment for Parkinson’s since 2012 with the specific benefits of long-term practice now     10    (far)clarified by the Shanghai study.

For many of us in the UK and other parts of the world, having an electric kettle plugged in in the kitchen is a part of everyday life. But for people in America, it’s unusual     1     (use) a kettle–and the cultural difference has left many people     2     (confuse). Sophie Monk,     3     Australian host, recently sparked a debate when she     4     (detail) her experience of living in the US.

Sophie lived in America for 10 years before     5     (return) to her native Australia, and she was shocked at the fact that American people boiled their water on the stove. She said, “I was looking     6     a kettle, and they’re like, ‘Kettle?’ They don’t know     7     a kettle is. They don’t use them. They must heat water up on their stove. Yeah, no one has a kettle,     8     is crazy.” Although the concept of not using a kettle is more than a little strange to us Brits, there’s actually a pretty simple     9     (explain) for the decision.

In America, homes only have a voltage (电压) of 100-127,     10     in the UK and other countries, the voltage in a house is around 230. This means electric kettles in the US actually heat water more slowly than they do in the UK, so Americans haven’t bothered to invest in the appliances-choosing instead to boil on the stove.

Facial surgery (手术) is a serious business, especially on children     1     are not yet fully grown but Melbourne researchers are developing a technique that could change the face of children’s surgery.

This new     2     (develop) will allow doctors to work out a child’s normal face shape at different ages to predict (预测) future growth.

Researchers at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) could soon replace the ruler currently     3     (use) to track changes in a child’s head and face with 3D images. By     4     (improve) the ability to predict normal growth and future changes in a child’s face, doctors will be able to    5     (well) complete their surgery than before.

MCRI’s Mr Harold Matthews said current     6     (method), including using patients’ photographs and X-rays were slow. Together     7     researchers in Belgium, Mr Matthews is pioneering a new tool that provides averages (平均值) for normal growth of the face throughout childhood.

The project intends     8     (take) some of the guesswork out of surgery. For example, in children with Pierre Robin Sequence, a serious condition which means they are born with an underdeveloped jaw(下颚), some doctors choose to fix it early while others wait to see if the child’s face will     9     (natural) correct itself as it grows. Without this new technology,     10     is difficult to know which method is better for each child.

I had to wait for them to call number 63 before I could get my food.     1     (give) a plate by a lady, I felt ashamed, embarrassed. I wondered if she thought that I was worse than her.   However, before I knew it, I received my food: a little container with a meal and some pudding. I did not have to look at the woman any more.     2     feeling of shame slowly disappeared.

Ivon suggested that we walk to Bayside. When we arrived, Ivon told me     3     desperately had to use the bathroom. He began to take     4     from his pocket that he wanted to leave with me. I thought it was a phone,     5     it was a knife. “You never know when you have to use this,” he said.

After about twenty minutes, Ivon came back. He suggested     6     we move nearer to the Miami River where it was cooler. I walked down the street,     7     (hold) the plastic bag with my food. We settled down under some coconut trees. He pointed out some police officers     8     (stand) in an area where the     9     (home) used to sleep next to a hotel.

“I guess they didn’t want us next to the hotel. You can’t have people looking     10     of their windows and seeing us,” he said.

The current popularity of hanfu in the country is believed     9     (indicate) more than a fashion trend; it     10     (represent) a deeper connection to Chinese tradition and cultural identity.

Last month, scientists from Harvard Medical School talked about EVEscape in the journal Nature. This model is all about figuring out how viruses change. It learned from the history of how viruses     1     (change) over time, and you can give it a lot of details about a virus. Then it can guess how the virus might change, especially in     2     its proteins (蛋白质) work when the immune system puts pressure on it.

    3     (show) what EVEscape can do, scientists gave it the     4     (origin) code of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They did this months before the virus caused the COVID pandemic. Guess what? EVEscape predicted almost all the changes that happened during the pandemic, even the ones we know by names like Omicron and Beta. The Harvard team keeps     5     (give) EVEscape new data about SARS-CoV-2     6     (regular), so it’s like a fortune teller for what COVID might do next.

People are wondering if EVEscape could be the solution     7     stopping pandemics. In an article that goes along with     8     paper, scientists Nash Rochman and Eugene Koonin from the National Center for Biotechnology Information really praised EVEscape. They said, “This way of doing things could     9     (use) to guess what changes might happen in viruses that stick around in the population. It can help make better vaccines (疫苗) and even guess how     10     (risk) a pandemic might be for viruses we don’t know much about yet, even before we figure out their 3D structure.”

In September, UNESCO Director-General Audrey visited Zhoukoudian in Beijing. She was full of praise     1     a special structure which     2     (successful) protected Yuanrendong Cave from an unusual rainstorm in July. The karst cave     3     (reveal) the fossilized remains of 40 individuals so far.

The structure protects the site from the extreme weather, secretary-general Qin Changwei said at the 2nd World Cultural and Natural Heritage Forum. “    4     provides a reference for the protection of cultural relics, and suggests     5     (measure) for helping heritage sites respond to the influence of climate change.”

Organized by various organizations,     6     forum brought together some 50 professionals to discuss the protection and     7     (sustain) development of heritage sites.

“Climate change has been the subject of in-depth discussion by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. Questions like how to balance humans and nature, how to respond to natural disasters     8     what new challenges this brings to World Heritage Sites are worth     9     (consider),” says Qin.

“Addressing the issue requires multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary cooperation, making full use of cutting-edge technology and jointly     10     (develop) risk prevention and response plans,” he adds.
