            • 1. Modern inventions have speeded up people"s lives amazingly. Motor cars (1) a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, (2) computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of (3) seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of (4) precious seconds in handling tasks.
              All this saves time, but (5) a cost. When we lose or (6) half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag ( 时差). Our bodies feel that they have been (7) behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at (8) results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit (传播) harmful (9) into our brains, a consequence we do not like to (10) about.
              However, how do we (11) the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find it (12) to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a (13) . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen (14) to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into (15) world.
              There was a time (16) some people"s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation ( 耕作) of the (17) or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking ( 多 重 任 务 ) there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a (18) of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors (19) . Modern machines have (20) people from that primitive existence.

              I am so grateful for the 21-Day Eco challenge hosted by Kindspring. Taking care of our sweet Mother Earth has always been __(1)____ to me in my life and I have taken __(2)____  in my everyday life to recycle, reuse, think about ways to protect our Mother Earth, etc. However, this __(3)____  awoke me even more.

              Our Scholars Together community has taken on more than we have before __(4)____  recycling ,using our own china cups and metal water bottles when we go out ,not buying things in __(5)____  containers and having green lunches more consistently, not__(6)____  ,but the biggest change we made was setting a goal of Zero Waste.

              We set up more boxes and bins for paper that we could __(7)____  again, recycled every sheet of use-on-both-side paper, plastics, cans ,etc. We also __(8)____  all of our food we cooked or bought ,instead of throwing some away. We really __(9)____  it a challenge. Each day we all saw how little __(10)____ could be in our dustbins. I realized that I had been throwing paper away that could be used on the other __(11)____ or could be recycled, and now I am looking everywhere for __(12)____  that can be used more __(13)____  until recycling time.

              The videos offered by Kindspring have been so__(14)____  and useful to us all that I don’t want the Eco challenge to __(15)____ . We will continue to do our part and __(16)____  the news to our family and friends. Next week we are trying some __(17)____  in our local sandwich and sub shops where the kids like to go to see that we can bring our own __(18)____  in, rather than having them put in bags. It is cool to see how the __(19)____  spreads. Thank you Kindspring for __(20)____  the community with daily support and great researched videos and information.

            • 3. During a research experiment, a biologist placed a shark into a large tank and then (1) several small fish into the tank. As you would (2) , the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish.
              The biologist then (3) a strong piece of clear glass into the tank, creating two (4) tanks. She then put the shark on one side of the glass and a new set of fish on the other. (5) , the shark quickly attacked. This time, however, the shark (6) because it knocked hard against the glass. (7) , the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes, but (8) . Meanwhile, the fish swam around (9) in the other part. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark (10) . This experiment was carried out several times. Each time, the shark got less (11) and made fewer attempts to attack the fish, until eventually the shark got (12) hitting the glass divider and simply stopped attacking. The biologist then (13) the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn"t attack. The shark was trained to believe a/an (14) existed between it and the smaller fish, even when the fish swam (15) they wished, free from harm.
              Many of us, after (16) setbacks and failures, readily give up and stop trying. Like the shark in the story, we believe that (17) we were unsuccessful in the past, we will always be unsuccessful. (18) , we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no 4real, barrier exists (19) where we are and where we want to go, we (20) see obstacles in our heads.

            • 4. Fairy tales generally took place in a far-off time and place. They typically (1) , "Once upon a time." In the land of fairy tales, (2) happenings are everyday occurrences.
              Bad kings or queens, beautiful (3) ill-treated girls, and handsome princes are (4) characters in fairy tales. A fairy tale takes into (5) the entire life of the hero or heroine, but (6) a single event such as marriage. Fairy tales generally end (7) . Goodness is rewarded, and evil is (8) . The traditional closing line of a fairy tale is, "and they lived happily (9) after."
              Both Beauty and the Beast and The Frog Prince tell the (10) of an animal that, through love, (11) a handsome prince. Many fairy tales are about unhappy people who eventually gain (12) , such as Snow White and Seven Dwarfs.
              Fairy tales have been (13) people all over the world from earliest times. Many of them were (14) thousands of years ago. People then passed them down through word of mouth. The tales (15) over time. As the stories were retold, the tellers added (16) details and left others out.
              The stories were (17) for entertainment, although some fairy tales also contain a (18) . The message of The Ugly Duckling, for example, (19) that people considered unattractive or unpopular as children may have their true worth and (20) discovered in adulthood.
            • 5. Happiness Is a Journey We always believe life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we think the kids aren"t (1) enough and we"ll be more (2) when they are. After that we think we have teenagers to deal with. We will (3) be happy when they are out of that stage.
              We always tell ourselves our life will be perfect when we get a nice car, and are (4) to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The (5) is that there"s no better time than right now. If not now, (6) ? Our life will (7) be filled with challenges. It"s best to (8) this to ourselves and try to be happy from now on.
              One of my favorite quotes(引语) comes from Alfred Souza. He said, " For a long time it had seemed to me that real life was about to (9) . But there were always some obstacles in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be (10) . Then life would begin. At last it was (11) to me that these difficulties were my life." This view has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So (12) every moment that you have.
              And (13) time waits for no one. So (14) waiting until you finish school, until you get married, until you have kids, until you retire, until you (15) a new car, and until spring.
              Happiness is a(n) (16) , not a destination. So, work like you don"t need (17) , love like you"ve never been (18) , and dance like no one"s (19)
              Try to do what you like and enjoy what you can enjoy at present or you will feel (20)
              when you are too old to do anything.

              A test of the brain's electrical activity (EEG) shows that women (6) use both sides of their brain while men (7) more on one.Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different (8) -one controlling the sense of space,for example,the (9) controlling language.Some researchers (10) that the different ways men and women use their brains evolved from ancient times,when cave men hunted and women (11) the children.Men had to have good (12) .Women had to talk to the kids.

(8) is our desire to buy the newest and greatest each year or every few months that is dangerous. After all, that (19) thing has to go somewhere. And it"s probably in the landfill somewhere.
