For Zhang Baohua, who lives in Changji, it is a 90-minute drive to the Xinjiang Silk Road ski resort, 11 he has become well-known to all of the resort staff and his fellow skiers.
Zhang took up skiing after he 12 (buy) a new set of equipment by his son. Since then, skiing 13 (become) the favorite outing for him and his family at weekends.
They are among the majority 14 (begin) to spend more of their spare time 15 winter sports in the northwestern region. Xinjiang, which has areas of both ice and snow, has stepped into the fast lane in terms of developing 16 (it) winter sports.
To satisfy China’s 17 (ambitious) to encourage 300 million people in the country to participate in winter sports ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Xinjiang Sports Administration has taken measures to provide a 18 (good) environment for people in the region to get 19 (involve) in winter sports.

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is going to experience 21 unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that 22 the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control center to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine 23 being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says 24 would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are much 25 (tough) to steal, 26 their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this 27 (help) achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a 28 (track)system.
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre 29 it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
Staff at the centre will then contact the owner 30 (confirm) that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.

Play the financial markets: it’s not rocket science
Back in the 1950s, economists developed Nobel Prize-winning theories for how best to invest money in financial markets. And 51 (do) it, they drew on the theory of probability. The result was Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), 52 shows how to create a mix of stocks, bonds and other assets (股票、证券和其他资产) to get the best possible return for the 53 (low) risk. By feeding in past performance data for each asset, the formulas of MPT reveal the relative proportions of each 54 (need) to achieve this best performance.
To pull off this miracle, MPT involves some fearsome equations that only rocket scientists might 55 (expect) to solve. But—like any attempt to model reality with mathematics—MPT makes assumptions, and the bad news is 56 they’re not very realistic. A wealth of data now suggests that MPT simply cannot capture the real complexity of markets, 57 (make) its conclusions not that trustworthy.
Even Harry Markowitz, the US economist who won the economics Nobel Prize in 1990 for developing MPT, 58 (admit) he ignored his own theory and simply split his investments equally between stocks and bonds.
The lesson of the laws of chance this time is: don’t get too clever. When it comes to investment, history suggests most of us may do best 59 simply dividing our money among so-called index trackers that just follow entire sectors of the market—and then forget about them 60 we retire. After all, caution is the best policy.

There’s a cat-shaped bridge, pet food bowls on the side of the walkways, street signs with cat motifs, cat-themed cafes and, of course, furry feline friends 62 (roam)freely everywhere.
The fall and rise of Houtong
In the early 1900s, Houtong, in New Taipei City, was the biggest and most technologically advanced coal-mining site in Taiwan. It was a prosperous town with about 6,000 residents and workers, before the mine fell into disuse in 1990.
As most young residents moved away for better opportunities, Houtong became a sleepy village with about 100 residents.
But in 2010, Houtong’s fame surged after a cat lover and photographer started blogging about the village’s growing stray cat population. Houtong was transformed into a cat-lover mecca while also providing a source of income for local villagers.

64 the village’s many cute kitty-themed shops and cafes, the local government has also seized the opportunity to revamp Houtong and highlight its long history.
An award-winning pedestrian cat bridge was built. Metal plates with tiny paw designs were embedded into streets. A cat information and education center opened in 2014, 65 (feature) elevated cat walkways on the fa ade of the building.
A museum park 66 (dedicate) to the town’s former mining life opened in 2010, later hosting a cat lantern festival in 2012.
It all appears to be paying off. The town now draws an estimated one million visitors every year.
Controversies
67 Houtong, now under the spotlight, isn’t completely purrfect.
According to local reports, the town has become a magnet for 68 looking for a place to abandon their unwanted pets.
During the most recent survey, the New Taipei City Government Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office estimated that the village is now home to about 286 cats -- 50 heads more than two years ago.
69 the constant patting and feeding from visitors, some also flagged concerns about the health of the furry residents. The department works with local residents and volunteers to vaccinate the cats and provide regular medical treatment.
Signs 70 (erect) around town advising visitors how to behave while also pleading pet owners to be responsible.
Getting there
Houtong is about an hour’s train ride from Taipei Station. To reach Houtong Station, visitors can take a train on the Yilan Line towards Ruifang.
