I work in a market in London, just at the weekends--- I’ve got a second-hand book store, and one day I     1     (get) my store ready when an old lady came up and started looking at the books. She started chatting and telling me how she used to live in that part of London and     2    much it had changed     3     she’d last been in the area. While we were talking, I put on a book and she picked it up. “Oh, Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” she said, “I had a copy of this when I was a child.” She began flicking through (翻阅) it and I carried     4     laying out the books, and when I looked up she was just standing there     5     (shake), and she had gone     6     (complete) white. “But…but… this is my actual book,” she said. “Look, it’s got my name, Joan, in it.” Then she told me how there’d been a terrible fire while her family were away on holiday.

She pulled out her purse     9     (buy) the book from me, but I stopped her. “No, no… please accept it     10     a gift---it’s such a wonderful story.”

It all began with a bat, which is so ugly that nobody likes it. And it is always dreaming of     1    (have) no interaction with human beings.     2    , humans who have always been at the top of the food chain have become     3    (tire) of eating chicken, ducks, and sheep for thousands of years. As     4    result, they start killing and     5    (eat) wild animals,    6     has finally brought the revenge of nature.

Tens of thousands of medical     8    (work) led by Prof. Zhong Nanshan fought for more than half a year to     9    (effective) get the SARS outbreak under control. Civets(果子狸), which     10    (sell)in Guangdong’s wildlife markets, were direct source of the SARS infection. 17 years later, the greed of human beings is once again the key to the door of devils.

At the age of 21, Chris Nikic became the first person with Down syndrome to complete the Ironman triathlon, which consisted of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. The very thought would be enough     1    (put) off those in the greatest physical condition. However, by completing    2    challenge in 14 minutes under the official cut-off time, this sporting hero set a Guinness World Record.

This    3    (impress) accomplishment was made possible thanks to the loving guidance of Nikic’s father, Nik. While     4    (raise) Nikic, Nik was worried about his son’s inactive lifestyle, thus giving him the task of becoming 1%     5    (fit) every day. And the first step    6     (achieve) with a single push-up.

Now, three years later, Nikic has gathered much    7    (strong) and determination to really push his body to the limits. Considering those with Down syndrome have to fight varying physical and learning disabilities, Nikic’s accomplishment is another example of    8    people with this condition overcome barriers and achieve success. The key for him is resilience.

Nikic isn’t stopping there. He has set new goals for 2021, including the plan to participate    9    the special Olympics in Orlando, Florida in 2022. Undoubtedly, with his family, friends and followers by his side, Nikic     10    (continue) to set new records.
