The mountain bongo antelope (山地紫羚), one of the most     1     (endanger) animals, is likely to continue wandering in the wild for longer. Having followed 18 years of conservation efforts, staff members from the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy reached a milestone this year — the first baby mountain bongo was born in the wild.

Native     2     equatorial forests, the mountain bongo is the largest and most colorful of the forest antelopes. The species     3     (see) a dramatic decline in numbers in the last few decades from     4     estimated population of 25, 000 to less than 100. It was mostly humans who caused its population to decrease     5     (dramatic). Now the Conservancy is making efforts in partnership with the Kenyan government to help the mountain bongo through one     6     (create) breeding (饲养) and rewilding program.

“Due to the massive decline, we     7     (leave) with less than 100 of the species in the wild. The mountain bongo is only found in Kenya and its decline in this area therefore means its decline in the world. That explains     8     taking immediate action here is so urgent,” Robert Aruho from the Conservancy said. He added that     9     (enable) the animals to adapt to life in the wild, they had taken a series of measures. With the first phase of the     10     (adapt) being complete, the Conservancy has moved to the second phase which involves introducing the antelopes to the wild.

To facilitate     1     positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles     2     our own positive ideas. We can also use the habit cycle     3     (create) good habits.

From Edmonton, the train     1     (head) southeast across the great Canadian Prairie. At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had leant that Canada’s population is only     2     (slight) over thirty-seven million. However, they did not anticipate seeing such an open country, and were truly     3     (amaze). They went through two wheat-growing provinces     4     they saw a bunch of farms that covered a very large area.

As there have been so many different styles of Western art, perhaps the best way     1     (understand) Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone. His     2     (painting) are set apart from other paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact. Painters concentrated     3     (little) on religious themes during the Renaissance.

Young Chinese    1     (be) fighting against society through a simple act of resistance: lying down. Examples of the “tangping”, or “lying flat”, way of life include not getting married, not having children, and refusing to work extra hours or to hold a job at all. “I stay at home and sleep and watch television series.” said Zhang, who described herself as “lying flat” for the last two weeks     2     leaving her job in the film industry in Wuxi.

“Tangping”     3     (emerge) over the last few months. Some compare them to the 1950s Beat Generation in the United States.     4     (other) call their behavior a form of nonviolent resistance. “People realize there is no upward mobility,” said Yicheng Wang, a PhD student in political science at Boston University. The term developed after     5     April post on the Tieba forum, whose author, unemployed for the last two years, described a low-effort, low-cost lifestyle consisting of just a few months’ work out of the year.

“Lying flat is my movement,” he     6     (write), referring to the Greek philosopher Diogenes, who was known for living in a large container. He posted a picture of himself lying in bed in the middle of the day with the curtains     7     (draw).

But as “tangping” gained     8     (popular), it also brought a level of dishonor. Nanfang Daily called the philosophy “shameful”. Global Times made light of it describing “lying flat” as “not a serious philosophy”.

For Zhang in Wuxi, lying flat is not about giving up or withdrawing from society. “Many people want to lie down because 996 is too     9     (tire),” she said, referring to the constant hours common in tech industry,     10     the staff are expected to work from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. , six days a week. The philosophy is also about giving oneself a break.

What will your future life look like? Let’s have     1     look.

In 3000, medical technology will be better than ever. When you get up in the morning and look into the mirror, your face will be beautiful and young-looking. Many people at your age could live to be 120, and your parents will just have an anti-aging (抗衰老的)     2     (treat). All of you will look the same age!

Besides, “smart clothes” will contain special particles (粒子),     3     will be much smaller than the cells in your body. They can     4     (design) to change your clothes’ color or pattern. When you say to your shirt, “Turn red,” it will change from blue     5     red. There will also be a great change in your house. If you get into the kitchen, you     6     (find) a special food machine that will tell you what your body needs and help you eat     7     (healthy). In 3000, cars will drive by     8     (they). You can just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, it will be possible     9     (change) the color of the car at the flick of a switch.

Such “smart technology” will be all around you, and let’s look forward to     10     (experience) it.
