It only 4_______ a moment to reply, even if it’s just to say “hey, I’m busy right now, can we talk later?” I happen to agree with this. But society 5________ all the time. Behaviors (行为) that would be considered rude before are simply normal now. Unfortunately, all we can do is adapt to this change. Your friend might have a good reason 6______ late – or he might not. Who knows. But if you confront (与……当面对质) him about it, he might become defensive (防御的) or feel offended (恼怒的). It’s 7_______ to just let it be.Mike FuksmanDear Wang,I hate when others take more than three hours to reply to my messages. I have a friend who does this, too. At first, I was worried that something was wrong. 8______ later, I found that he just didn’t see the message and could only reply later. I understand his behavior, but I was still annoyed because I felt like I was being ignored (忽视的).So I talked to my parents. They told me that a friend in need is a friend indeed. We don’t need to talk all the time. 9_______ someone we can feel comfortable with is difficult and it sometimes takes years to build a compatible (和睦相处的) relationship.So I talked to him and he promised to reply to my 10_______ when he saw them.

This means the rocket can carry 4______ more equipment into outer space. In fact, it has a total payload capacity (容量) of 20 tons, the most of any of China’s rockets.Why is this important? It’s 5_______ because the Long March 5B will be responsible for carrying the large components (组件) that will eventually 6______ to build China’s first space station.

For one thing, doing exercise may become a daily routine (惯例) for students. Students will gradually get used to 1_______ every day and consider PE classes to be a good way to improve their health. During the novel coronavirus outbreak, nearly everyone has learned about the 2_______ of immunity (免疫力), which partly comes from daily physical training. What’s 3_______ this may foster (养成) a spirit of sportsmanship among students. This spirit 4_______ fair play, honesty, courage, teamwork and respect for rules and laws. With this spirit, we’ll have more confidence in facing hardships in the future. Luo Renran, 15This reform is a terrific (极好的) start. When we have a 5_______ body, we are capable of studying intently (聚精会神地), which may help us gain more knowledge. Obviously, the hopes of getting 6_______ scores may push students to exercise harder. They might make an effort 7_______ better on tests. In addition, sports play an important role in giving students a break from schoolwork. Students can have a chance to slow down and refresh themselves. Since they have the motivation (动力) for playing sports, they will enjoy 8________ when exercising.Jiang Youchen, 15I disagree with the idea of putting PE in such a high position. No one can doubt that it is good 9_______ our health. However, the subject itself is not fair towards all students. Students’ athletic (体育运动的) talents are not as easily improved as academic (学业的) talents.The scores allocated (分配) to physics and chemistry are 50 and 30, respectively (分别地). Why is PE considered to be more important than these two subjects?I don’t think raising the PE score can really encourage students to exercise more. As we all know, working hard on10_______ and keeping your interest in a certain subject are completely different things.Tian Xu, 15I think it will play a positive (积极的) role in students’ education.

Two years ago, I made breakfast in bed for my mom and she still remembers all the dishes I 3______. Last year, I bought her a selfie stick (自拍杆) with the money that I made from 4______ some of my old books.

Thanks to his teacher's guidance , he learnt a lot. He often made tea for his teacher .

They soon became good friends. Since then, the two spent much time travelling, drinking tea and writing poems together .This period was important to Lu Y u as a man of literature.

The report data shows that kids' reading ability remains almost the same.However , the amount of reading time has fallen, from about an hour every day to half an hour .As for children's e-reading, the report mentions little about its effects. But it says that many parents choose to control the time spent on e-books, mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time. After all, it is important to protect their kids' eyes.The most helpful part in the report is parents' effects on their children. It shows that parents are examples and important guides for them in reading.

If you find 1 of those fit your personality, perhaps you are an “ambivert (中间性格者)”.Experts say there’s a middle ground between introvert and extrovert personality types. They are called “ambiverts”, according to The Wall Street Journal.Introverts don’t like crowds and enjoy keeping their 2 to themselves. Extroverts, however, like meeting new people and being the center of attention. Ambiverts, 3 the name suggests, have both introverted and extroverted characteristics (特征). But neither set of characteristics is completely in 4 .5 , they can move between being social and being alone very easily. For example, ambiverts often6 being with other people. But after a long day of work, they may prefer reading a book or watching a TV series at home alone.“It is like they’re bilingual (双语的),” Daniel Pink, the host of Crowd Control, a US TV series on human behavior, told The Wall Street Journal. “They can connect with a wider range of people the same way someone who 7 both English and Spanish can.”Ambiverts have gotten more 8 in recent years.

The AI then translated these notes 6_______ music.Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”. “It allows me 7_______ the virus from a new angle (角度),” said one listener.

For example, in the comic and animation (动画) industries, there are now AI tools 9______ can automatically (自动) color in black-and-white line drawings.

Beijing, for example, has dealt 1______ this by banning (禁止) thin plastic bags, plastic tableware (餐具) and 2______ plastic items in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels since May 1, according to CGTN.But an even 3______ solution might be on the way. Researchers at a French company 4________ Carbios have discovered a bacterial enzyme (细菌酶) that can break down plastic. The enzyme, which was first found in compost (堆肥) leaves, turns plastic into chemical “building blocks” that can then 5______ to create new products, according to the Guardian.vThe new enzyme was uncovered in research that was published last month in the journal Nature.

Scientists changed its genes (基因), 7_______ it to break down 90 percent of one ton of plastic in less than 10 hours.“It had been completely forgotten, but it turned out to be the best,” said Professor Alain Marty, chief science officer at Carbios.The enzyme especially breaks down PET, a type of plastic that is most commonly used 8______ plastic bottles and food packaging (包装).

After burning, it turns into water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳).

One of the 6_______I prefer Beijing over other Chinese cities is that it has always had a vibrant (生机勃勃的) music scene. I’ve performed at many of the places that are now closed. I’m not sure 7_______ I’ll get to perform again. Many other musicians and music promoters (筹办人) have voiced similar worries.“It’s been difficult to see music venues struggle and try to stay afloat (能维持下去的) in this,” said Will Griffith, a longtime Beijing resident (居民) and concert promoter. “8________ or not smaller-sized venues can remain active will depend on many things – the kindness of their audiences (观众) and innovation (创新),” he added. However, there have been similar situations in the past – and also reason to believe that things will eventually (最终) return 9______ normal.

That’s why it’s still necessary to send human experts to the peak 5_______ reliable (可靠的) results.But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?

It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak’s height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other.
