— I _______ in the science museum.
What will the world of tomorrow look like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on Earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit(套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people's life easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.

Shay Mitchell is a Canadian actress and model. She is well-known for her role in Pretty Little Liars, one of the most popular American TV series right now.
. She told her parents honestly that she would make efforts to achieve such a career(职业). After her hard work, she landed a leading role in Pretty Little Liars in 2010, which made her popular.
. Even though Shay had found some success as a teen model, her self-confidence was low because she looked different from everybody else.
"I grew up in a mostly white neighbourhood, , Shay explains. "Most of my schoolmates had white skins with fair hair and blue eyes. So, in my high school, I was unacceptable."
At that time, Shay lost her confidence and felt very sad. It was a few words from her grandmother that helped her find confidence and understand the situation. That's what's going to set her apart and make her more special!

These photos me my past.
—Miss Lee always listens to music. It must be________.
It is believed that mother's love is the greatest love in the world. It starts even before a child is born. For me, mother's love is hard to1 because it is always expressed through daily tiny things.
When I was three years old, my mom began to teach me to write Chinese characters(汉字). It took a long period of time 2 them but mom was very patient. That was 3 I learned many characters before school. Without doubt, I have received the best preschool education from my mom.
Being a middle school teen several years 4 I thought I should be allowed to make my own decisions. However, mom still acted like a “leader” who always told me what to do. I 5 her whenever I thought she had no point. I did quite well in my studies and came top in the class. My mom kept saying that my6 was not good enough instead of giving me prizes. I couldn't understand why she did this7I went to the best high school I had dreamed of.
During my college time in Tianjin, I could seldom be with her. Like most people, I hardly paid attention to the fact that my mom was getting 8 day by day. She was already 50 years old when I graduated.
In 2011, I took up the job as an English teacher and got paid for the first time in my life. Just when I realized that it was time to repay(报答) my mom, she was found to have a cancer all of a sudden. My father and I did the best we could to save her life but we9 .She died peacefully after half a year's fight against the illness. Knowing her death, I cried all day, regretting not taking good care of her.
Repaying your 10 is not something you can do only when you get a job. Start to repay them now by getting good grades in your study, helping with housework or buying them gifts with your pocket money. Don't wait until it is too late.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.
This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.
