You could then 51 the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to 52 extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult 53 at the college or university level?

After all, not every student has the opportunity to 4 the eBook, which is worth $294 (￥2,000 yuan), he said.
The 50 eBooks, 5 by Taiwan eBook manufacturer Chuanqi Photoelectric Technology in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, enables one class at Yangzhou Sanyuanqiao Elementary School to be the 6 group of

Also, some technical defects, the 11 of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the eBook fail to meet the expectations of students and teachers.
“There’s still a/an 12 way to go before the eBook really plays an important role in education,” said the headmaster.
According to Yuan, the annual average income of a 13 family in Yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan 14 book.
The school doesn’t allow the students to take their eBooks to their homes. The devices are 15 after class, and are locked in the headmaster’s office.

8. A. support B. introduce C. determine D. afford
9. A. After B. As if C. Now that D. Although
10. A. families B. classes C. schools D. provinces

The human nose is an underestimated tool. Humans are often thought to be1___ smellers compared with animals, but this is largely because, unlike animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 2 to detecting those smells which float through the air, 3 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact though, we are extremely sensitive to smells, even if we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 4 human smells even when these are 5 to far below one part in one million.
6 , some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, while others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate
7 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send
8 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when
9 to it often enough.
The 10 for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it 11 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 12 new receptors if necessary. This may also explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells we simply do not need to be. We are not 13 of the usual smell of our own house but we 14 new smells when we visit someone else's. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors _ 15 for unfamiliar and emergency signals such as the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.
