On a     1     (freeze) cold day in January 1994, Jiesang Suonandajie gave his life to save the Tibetan antelope. By the 1990s, the number of the antelopes     2     (fall) from millions to about 50, 000. The reason is     3     the wool of the Tibetan antelope is the     4     (expensive) in the world and brings huge profits to poachers. Often at night, whole herds of antelopes are shot and skinned     5     the spot with the     6     (except) of the babies. Then the wool is taken to India to make shawls, which     7     (export) to rich countries in North America and Europe. In the 1990s, the Chinese government began to protect the antelopes     8     (active). Meanwhile, in those countries    9     the shawls are sold, the police are getting tough with the dealers, making the antelope population increase     10     (slow) since 1997.

6 . J. K. Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day. Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.

She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9­year­old daughter Bailey.

He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent. He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV, which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.

Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he’s loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud，“Burke explains.” This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.”

After hearing Burke’s story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures.

Humans successfully reached the top of the world, Mount Qomolangma, for the first time in 1953. On May 23, 70 years later, a Chinese expedition team reached its peak and     1     (carry) out scientific research, which celebrated the historical adventure. The journey to the top is     2    (extreme) dangerous and takes both bravery and good physical health     3    (complete). Climbers fight against the harsh (恶劣的) environment and go beyond     4     (they) limits.

The main reason why scientists fearlessly continue this climb to the top can be the rich information that Mt Qomolangma provides. Due to its biodiversity, it can     5     (see) as a “micro Earth”. The drop in altitude (海拔) from the top is huge, forming     6     wide range of climates and creating its own ecosystem. Also, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原),    7    Mt Qomolangma is located, is an important ecological resource.

“The expedition has transformed from ‘I want to conquer you’ to ‘I want to understand you’,” said Yao Tandong, team     8     (lead) of the expedition. The scientists’ work was beyond     9     (collect) samples. Advanced equipment like drones (无人机) and 3D laser scanning, was used to better monitor pollutants and changes in glaciers. With those new technologies, the expedition resulted     10     important international influence.
