Good morning，everyone!
It's a great honor for meto talk about some changes I've witnessed in the process of creating a civilized city．What has impressed me most is the traffic．We often saw pedestrians jump the red light．But now many volunteers stand at the crossroads，reminding the pedestrians to obey the traffic regulations．Of course，as educated citizens，we can do more to help our city to be more civilized，such as arousing the public's traffic awareness and helping more people to become more self-disciplined．
Just as the saying goes，"Individuals together can make a difference．"I believe our city will become more civilized and harmonious through our joint efforts．So I'm here to appeal to everyone to do your bit for our city．Only in this way will our city take on a new look and become a better place to live in．
Thank you for listening!
Thank you for listening．

Dear Mary，
I'm so glad to hear from you．butDear Mary，
Iam so glad to hear from you．but Ifeel so desperately sorry to learn that you are depressed about some extra weight you have put on recently．To begin with，being fat or slim is merely a matter of personal opinion．With different people holding different views on this subject，there is no agreed standard for an ideal figure．So there is no need for you to worry about．What's more，it being fit that is the most important for us．Only when you have a healthy body can you live to the fullest．As far as Iam concerned，you can do some sports daily by which means you can keep healthy．Most importantly，it is suggested that you should go on a balanced diet at the same time，thus doing good to your health．Ihope what Isaid above can be of great help to you．after all，health is to us what water is to life．Iam looking forward to hearing your good news．
Best wishes!
Yours forever，
Li Hua
Yours forever，
Li Hua．

11．Born in England in 1944，Ian Wilmut （61）is known（know）as the leader of the research group that first cloned a female lamb （62）called（call）Dolly in 1996．Dolly became famous and pictures of her appeared on the （63）covers（cover）of magazines all over the world．The（ 64）possibility（possible）of reproduction without a male and female being involved also made her the focus of a moral debate．For scientists，however，the cloning of dolly using the DNA of an adult cell was a breakthrough （65）that/whichshowed the cloning of special animals was possible．
However，（ 66）whatWilmut thinks unlikely is human cloning．He says （67）undertaking（undertake）the procedure with humans would require 29 surrogate（替代的）mothers and 300 eggs．Of those 29，28would be bound （68）to experience（experience）failure and suffer physically and emotionally．He says he is also concerned about the psychological and （69）social（society）consequences a cloned might have to go through．For these reasons，he is not （70）infavor of it．

10．Our series The Genius Behind will take you inside the minds of people who are making the impossible possible．Whether it is designing the fastest ever land vehicle，helping the blind to see or creating space history，success relies levels of knowledge to new heights．What can we learn about genius from minds？Based on the people and the projects outlined in the series，we've come up with five lessons．
Lesson one：New challenges require new ways of thinking
Bloodhound SSC aims to be the first vehicle to break the 1，000 mph barrier．One of the key challenge has been to design the wheels．Thinking twice，Mark Chapman，chief engineer decided to change the way they were trying to solve problems and came up with a wheel design，part car，part jet fighter and part spaceship，which would hold together and was strong enough．
Lesson two：Let evidence share your opinion
Geophysicists widely believed that water on Earth originated from comets．But by studying rocks，Steven Jacobsen discovered water hidden inside，suggesting that the oceans gradually made its way out of the planet's interior many centuries ago．"Unfortunately，I had a pretty hard time convincing others，"he admits．Only time can tell whether the new theories are true．
Lesson three：It really is 99% efforts
Sheila Nirenberg at Cornell University is trying to develop a new prosthetic device（假肢器官）for treating blindness．"Sometimes I'm exhausted and I get burnt out，"she adds．"But then I get an email from somebody saying that they can't see their own children's faces，and it is like，‘How can I possibly complain？Once I thought of this，I couldn't eat，I couldn't sleep-all I wanted to do was work'．It gives me the energy to just go back and keep doing it．"
Lesson four：The answer isn't always what you expect
Sylvia Earle has spent decades trying to see the ocean with new eyes．Her"dream machine"is a submarine that could take scientists all the way to the bottom of the deepest ocean floor what sort of material could best withstand the types of pressure y would encounter thousands of miles below the ocean surface？"It could be steel，it could be titanium，it could be some sort of ceramic，or some kind of aluminium system，"says Earle．"But glass is the best choice．"
Lesson five：A little luck goes a long way
It was considered as one of the biggest success stories in the history of space exploration-20 years of planning ended earlier this year with the Philae lander landing safely Comet 67P over 300 million miles（480 million kilometers）away from Earth，though Philae's anchoring harpoons（锚定鱼叉）didn't fire as planned．
As a matter of fact，genius is difficult to define．"Genius is a funny word，"says Nirenberg．"I just sort of ignore it and just go on with life．You just do what you do regardless of whatever label's attached to you．I don't know really how else to explain it．

Title：Give lessons to be a Genius
Passage outlines	Supporting details
Introduction	Our series The Genius Behind will bring you to get close to the real genius and learn lessons from their（76）achievements
Five lessons （77） behindgenius	●New ways of thinking for new challenges    To be the first vehicle to break the 1，000 mph barrier，Bloodhound SSC adopted the technologies （78）appliedto car，jet fighter and spaceship． ●Evidence of shaping your opinion   It was a common（79）beliefthat water on Earth originated from comets，so it was hard for Steven Jacobsen to（80）convince/persuadeother geophysicists of his new discovery． ●（81）Importance/Significanceof hard work   Although exhausted，I would feel （82）energeticto work on the new prosthetic device on hearing from the blind saying that they can't see their own children's face． ●The unexpected answer   （83）Deepin the ocean，glass is the only best choice to make a submarine that could take scientists all the way to the bottom． ●A little luck for a long way   Philae lander was based on 20 years of planning，with Comet 67P safely （84） landingwith a small accident．
Conclusion	In fact，there's no（85）standard/proper/appropriate/suitable/right/correctdefinition of Genius．Views on genius differ from one another，so you just do what you do regardless of whatever label's attached to you．

7．Chengdu has dozens of new millionaires，Asia's biggest building，and fancy new hotels．But for tourists like me，pandas are its top （61）attraction （attract）．
So it was a great honor to be invited backstage at the not-for-profit Panda Base，where ticket money helps pay for research，I （62）was allowed（allow） to get up close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre．From tomorrow，I will be their UK ambassador．The title will be（63）officially （official） given to me at a ceremony in London．But my connection with pandas goes back（64）to my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s，（65）when I was the first Western TV reporter permitted to film a special unit caring for pandas （66）rescued （rescue） from starvation in the wild．My ambassadorial duties will include （67）introducing（introduce） British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research in the misty mountains of Bifengxia．
On my recent visit，I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by  （68）its  （it） mother．The nursery team switches him every few （69）days （day） with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed，（70）theother is with mum-she never suspects．

6．A new study that shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than（41）thosewho use computers．Researchers performed experiments in order to find out（42）whetheror not using a computer increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"．In the experiments the students took down word for word what the professors said．
In the first experiment，the students（43）were given（give） either a computer or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told（44）to use（use） their usual note-taking skills．Thirty minutes after（45）thelectures，they were examined on their（46）ability（able） to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．
The researchers found that the typists performed（47）worse（bad） at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored（48）similarly（similar） when it came to remembering facts．
In another experiment to test long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes（49）byhand performed much better on the exam．
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes（50）are（be） not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．

Charlie Chaplin，（56）whowas born in a poor family，showed an（57）astonishingtalent as a performer as soon as he could walk．His father died young，leaving the family even（58）worseoff．He had to make a living by himself．He could act in a very funny way and always made people laugh．No one was（59）boredwhen watching him．He not only directed movies but also（60）starredin them．In one of his movies，he acted（61）asa little tramp，a（ 62）homelessman with a mustache，（63）wearinglarge trousers，worn-out shoes and a small round black hat．The little tramp became（64）knownthroughout the world．He was welcome and loved（65）whereverhe went．

She seldom goes （64）outdoors（outdoor）．However，one day I happened （65）to meet（meet） her when she was walking the dog in the park （66）atdusk．She was much （67）concerned（concern） about my new novel．It was the first time in a year that I （68）had communicated（communicate） with her face to face．We didn't stop talking until the sky was（69）entirely（entire） dark．We had got to go home immediately because a thunder storm was （70）onits way!
