Candles may be the most important indoor invention ever. Before electricity, candles were the most common way to light up a 1 room. Countless letters, books, and poems have been written and read by candlelight.

When I signed up (报名) at the local hockey club, my mother asked, “Are you sure you want to join You've never done that. Many of the other boys are bigger than you.” I told her, “I have to at least try.”
The first day of practice was really hard for me. I wasn't a very good skater and all the other boys on the team had been playing for years. I felt pretty terrible. Lucky for me though, the members of the team were really nice. They taught me some skating tricks (技巧) and showed me how to use them.
We practised five days a week during the winter break, so my skills improved quickly. When the winter break was over, I became a much better player.

In her first Weibo post, Hua Zhibing said hello to Chinese Internet users and told them that she would study in the Department of Computer Science and Technology in the university. She got about 2,000 fans on Weibo in nine hours.

The Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas is the largest desert in North America. There, winters are cool and summers are very, very hot. This area is also home to a mysterious phenomenon (神秘的现象) called the Marfa Lights.
The Marfa Lights are bright lights that appear suddenly in the night sky and then fly to faraway places and disappear ( 消失). They are about the size of basketballs and are often described as white, blue, yellow, red or other colours. The lights sometimes even get close to people's houses. One woman who lived on a farm told the story of what she experienced one night. She was in bed and suddenly she saw the lights shining through her bedroom window. She watched them change colour for a few minutes. Finally, they went away. Pilots (飞行员) who used to train in the desert in the 1940s also reported that they once saw these mysterious lights.
What causes this phenomenon People have different opinions on this. A popular explanation is the lights might have something to do with headlights from cars on the road nearby. Scientific research also suggests that some of the lights are caused by the refraction (折射) of light between layers (层) of air that have different temperatures. However, not all of them can be explained so easily.
Anyway, people will continue to study the lights to find out where they come from. Whatever these lights really are, they are as mysterious today as when they first appeared. But it is sure that the mystery behind them will ever be solved one day.
1. _______________ in West Texas is home to the Marfa Lights.

3. The woman saw the Marfa Lights shine, _______________ for a few minutes and disappear.
