    Wolf Warrior II is putting China in the global spotlight. It's also the first film (taste) success both in terms of box office(票房)earnings and promoting Chinese values.

    Since its release on July 27, it(earn) an unimaginable 4.5 billion yuan, setting a record for domestic movies at the box office. The film focuses on a rescue operation in Africa(lead) by former special forces soldier Leng Feng — played by Wu Jing helps Chinese workers and local Africans flee a war-torn(受到战争破坏的)and plague-ravaged(瘟疫肆虐的)country.

    Wolf Warrior II links(联系)art to reality, and reminds people  the massive evacuation(撤离)of Chinese people from Libya when civil war (break) out there in 2011, and from Yemen in 2015, as well as the challenges the Ebola virus created in West Africa from 2013 to 2016.

    The film describes the Chinese government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens. Just the message at the end of the film reads, “Citizens of People's Republic of China, when you encounter danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back(stand) a strong motherland.”

    Thanks to China's increasing participation(参与)in global affairs, the president could(consider) as a modern Chinese hero. “ (hold) up a banner(信仰)of peace, friendship and responsibility, Wolf Warrior II should be seen as a brave effort to promote Chinese values around the world.

    Famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: "Ah! Realize your youth while you have it." He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in one's 1   through life. However, the popular internet word foxi—or "Buddhist"—is 2 this rule by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and 3 arguments as much as possible—in other words, to live like a Buddha.

    The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer want to start 4 with women or follow someone else's life path. They prefer to stay in their own 5 world without being disturbed and care little about failure and success.

    Now, Chinese internet users are 6  the phrase with other words to describe a similar thought. For example, "Buddhist students" are those who study just the right amount—they don't 7 class, but they don't burn the midnight oil, either. There are also "Buddhist parents", who involve little with their children's lives and let them develop however they like—the 8 of "tiger parents".

    In this fast-changing and competitive world, it's only 9 that people are going after a spiritual freedom. However, some would compare foxi with "denominational culture(丧文化)" —a phrase that describes young people who feel 10 and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their 11 to fight. They are 12 to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because they have no ability to achieve success.

    But no matter 13, there is one thing that "Buddhist youngsters" should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm attitude towards failure, but you should also be 14 about school, work and life.

    15, Wilde also wrote: "Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new feelings. Be afraid of nothing."

    Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates caught people's eye in a recent interview, when he suggested that robots should be taxed in, order to help humans keep their jobs. Gates is only one of many people in the tech world who have worried about automation and its 1 to workers.

    It's easy to see why the tech world is 2. The rise of machine learning has increased the fear that 3 humans could simply become out of date--4, 3.5 million American truck drivers might soon find their jobs threatened by driverless trucks. Though in the past, technology usually complemented workers 5 replacing them, there's no law of nature saying the technology of the future will work the same. A few economists even claim that cheap automation has already 6 income from workers to company owners.

    Another 7 is that even if the mass of humanity ultimately does find new ways to add value by complementing new technology—to “race with the machines,” as economist Erik Brynjofsson puts it—this transition could take a long time and hurt a lot of people. As Bloomberg View's Tyler Cowen has noted, wages in Britain fell for four decades at the start of the Industrial Revolution. More 8, we've seen very slow and painful adjustment to the impact of globalization. If the machine learning revolution hurts workers for 40 years before ultimately helping them, it might be worth it to 9 that revolution and give them time to adjust.

    The main argument against taxing the robots is that it might hold back 10. Growth in rich countries has slowed markedly in the past decade, suggesting that it's getting harder and harder to find new ways of doing things. Stagnating productivity, combined with falling business investment, suggests that 11 of new technology is currently too slow rather than too fast—the biggest problem right now isn't too many robots, it's too few. Taxing new technology, however it's done, could make that slowdown worse.

    The problem with Gate's basic proposal is that it's very hard to tell the difference between new technology that12 humans and new technology that replaces them. This is especially true over the long term. Power looms(织布机)replaced human weavers back in the Industrial Revolution. 13, people eventually became more productive, by learning to operate those looms. If taxes had slowed the development of power looms, the eventual improvements would have come later.

    This is a powerful argument 14 the taxation of automation. Gates is right to say that we should start thinking ahead of time about how to use policy to mitigate(缓和)the unintended consequences of automation. But given the importance of sustaining innovation, we should look at 15 policies.

    Technology is playing a vital role in preservation and ecology research. Drones (无人机) hold huge 1 in the fight to save the world's remaining wildlife from extinction. So researchers can now track wild animals through dense forests and monitor whales in vast oceans. It's estimated that up to five living species become extinct every day, making it urgent that universities develop new technologies to capture the data that can persuade 2 to act.

    The British International Education Association hosted a conference in January to 3 the importance of technological solutions in protecting vulnerable (易受伤害的) species and ecosystems. Speakers underlined how technology can help 4: drones can circle high above the ocean to spot whales, while certain cameras can identify members of an individual species.

    According to Claudio Sillero, biology professor at Oxford University, technology is changing how preservation research is done — but it's in a(n) 5 way. As technology gets better and cheaper, researchers become better at doing what they were already doing. 6, remote sensing used to be a very technical tool but is now widespread, and everyone uses global positioning system (GPS) for surveying.

    But teaching preservation and ecology courses in university 7. Some teach drone surveying methods in depth while others don't even mention them. "The fact is, using drones is quite a(n) 8 to the interdisciplinary (跨学科的) 'unknown' of engineering, and potentially an area where lecturers may not feel confident to teach yet," Serge Wich, an expert in primate biology says. "Students are taught about 9 technologies such as automatic sound recorders, but drones are often missing from university teaching. Consequently, drone use among researchers is still fairly 10 and focused on getting photos."

    Wich's team of researchers used techniques to develop a fully automated drone technology system that 11 and monitors the health of endangered animals globally. It's designed to be cheap, stable and simple to use, so that local communities in developing countries can operate it 12 without technical background. Yet it's not more widely used on the grounds of researchers' lack of skills to use this technology. In biology, where drones are used, few can program an algorithm (算法) specifically for their preservation or research problem. "There's much that needs to be done to 13 those two worlds and to make AI more user-friendly so that people who can't program can still use the technology," Wich says.

    14, the sad truth is that better technology alone will not save any more species from dying out, Greengrass warns. "As human populations increase, so do threats and pressure on wild places. Preservationists are 15 for not doing enough but it's often an issue of people, conflict and governance." Technology may help provide far greater knowledge, but governments still need to act.

    Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 1  problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog (博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 2. But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 3 diary?

    The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 4 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 5 that he does not want to 6 with others.

    It's interesting that someone who writes in a blog 7 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

    I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 8. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 9 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but 10 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 11 that my sister might read it.

    The biggest 12 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 13 about him in my diary, he would never know. 14, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 15 her blog and get angry.

    There are also 16 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, "Nobody cares about me…" Because no one would 17 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly 18 and tell her how much they 19 her. Blog help people 20 in contact with their friend and know what the people around them are doing.

    The origin of this festival is related to a cowboy and a weaving girl, 2love story has become a part of the Chinese culture.3there are many different versions of the story, the most popular one begins with a poor cowboy. Living with his elder and4brother, who treated him badly, the cowboy looked after an old cow every day. Though life was tough and boring, he5it in silence, without complaining

    6, even such a hard life didn't last long. His brother got rid of him and all he got was the old cow. Although they couldn't talk to each other, they7on each other for company.

Saddleworth Moor in the north of England is a bare place. It seemed almost wired to me, then, that anyone should1the building of seven wind turbines( 风力发电机) to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them— basically dull, unattractive to tourists and —--2—windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another battleground in an increasingly confusing3over wind farming and the future of the planet.

    Typical of this confusion is hearing Professor David Bellamy4the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist had made the5assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, on reflection, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist, whose main aim is to preserve natural habitats of plants and animals from destruction, rather than a(n)6on climate change. He has fought against other renewable energies that7wildlife and wildness, and has described the wind turbines as weapons of mass destruction killing birds and bats.

    Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued the wind farms are in fact8, and are only commercially successfully because they are so heavily funded. This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently, who have then gone to9nuclear power. This doesn't take into account years of10from Greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and dangerous. And yet nuclear energy has recently been11by a leading green scientist , Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the first to draw attention to the problem of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.

    And so it goes on. There are so many12claims, each apparently fronted by some outstanding scientists and backed up by a lot of statics. So who's actually right? What's the right solution? What13me is that we will take so long in deciding that it will be too late. The damage will have been done. Yet what I also14is how convenient these conflicting arguments are. We can avoid making any changes to our personal lifestyles by just doing nothing. Global warming isn't down to me going to Barcelona by air for the weekend or having a dishwasher or driving everywhere; no, it's because those people in Saddleworth won't let us build our15!

    If you like to take a walk in the woods in the United States or you prefer to decorate a tree at Christmas, you should know that climate change is making both of those activities a lot more 1.

    Looking at two 2 and economically important species -- the Douglas fir and the Ponderosa pine -- scientists found that fires and drought 3 by climate change make new growth difficult, especially in low-elevation forests, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    Some forests in four regions in California, Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the southwestern part of the United States have crossed "a(n) 4 climate tipping (转折) point for post-fire tree generation," the study says.

    Climate conditions over the past 20 years have 5 changes that would have taken decades or even centuries to 6 across broad regions of the country. This is leading to the sudden 7 of trees and making these lands increasingly unsuitable for tree regeneration.

    "Climate changes is 8 our forests now, not just in some distant future. Maybe in areas where there are really 9 seed sources, there could be some trees, but it is becoming really hard to get these trees back due to climate change,"said study co-author Kim Davis.

    The problem probably won't get any better, as climate change is making intense wildfires much more 10 . Western foresters say there used to be a fire season. But devastating and 11 fires have become a reality all year long. In 2018, fire cost California more than $9.05 billion, according to the USA insurance commissioner, the deadliest and most destructive wildfires season in the 12 history.

    A higher number of fires and low seed availability means a high probability that these trees in these regions won't come back, Davis said. This study 13 on the driest and hottest areas of the Western forests, but researchers will next try to focus on how much will be impacted.

     14, there are some things people can do to ease some of this problem. Forest management plans that reduce high-severity burns can help. Increasingly, forest managers are considering allowing some fires to burn under more moderate conditions, Davis said, Forest 15.

American school children can be seen every day 14 sneakers of all colours. They put them on in the morning and take them off 15. Sneakers are 16 washed. In fact the older and dirtier they are, the 17 loveable they are. When their sneakers wear out (穿破), children hate to throw them off. How do you explain the closeness between 18?
