Another example is that Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, changed the 53 666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air to 668 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air before moving in. But in Asia, people love “666” because it 54 “things going smoothly”, and is considered to be very lucky.

And the closer you are to a person, the more 91 your present can be—it’s a real chance to prove how well you know them and their interests. Before you make a purchase, think about the 92 of the person you’re buying for. It’s not the price of the gift, but the thought behind it.
Time
You can give your time in so many ways.
Homemade presents are special and show you care enough to make an effort. 93 with emotion can also bring a sense of happiness. It could be knitting a scarf with their favourite colour, making a greeting card with a self-created poem inside or baking lovely cupcakes. Whatever you decide, make it amazing—for them and for you. And a gift doesn’t even have to be “ 94 ”. It could be simply hanging out together, including watching your friend’s must-see movie, visiting your mother’s favourite museum or asking a grandparent to tell you more about his/her childhood. The gift of time is 95 —think carefully about how the other person would wish to spend a few hours or a day together.
Meaning
Why wait for a birthday or Christmas From “I’m sorry” to “I love you” and “thank you” to “good luck”, gifts can take many messages and 96 inner feelings of regret and thankfulness when you are too shy to speak them out. It’s a wonderful feeling for the giver, too, as the person will be surprised and touched by such a display of care and attention.

（2022·上海浦东新·八年级校考期中）From the first day that men began to study numbers in daily life, some numbers have been thought to be lucky, while others are considered unlucky. And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated.
Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But 49 The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the world in 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system（太阳系）. Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug and ladybugs are considered good luck themselves.
“4” means bad luck in Asia. For example, the 50 of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “death”. And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China.
“666” is a 51 number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries. 52 the Christian Bible（圣经）, the number 666 means Satan（撒旦，魔鬼）. It might be the most avoided number in Western culture. For example, there used to be US Highway 666 in New Mexico, but in 2003 it was changed to US Highway 491 because the government was afraid that the number would scare tourists away. Another example is that Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, changed the 53 666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air to 668 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air before moving in. But in Asia, people love “666” because it 54 “things going smoothly”, and is considered to be very lucky.

We should have left when we saw two policemen walking outside the hotel, looking closely at the building. One of them showed us how our room could be slipped in through the windows.

Although we were a little worried, our concerns were forgotten when we believed a good-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa bath and more suggested a comfortable stay.
Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served low-fat meals. I was 57 : six days of rabbit food and no steak and chips. What had I let myself in for We should have been told about the food before we booked. I ordered my breakfast against my will anyway, but I had to wait 45 minutes for it to arrive. This was not the 58 I had expected.
That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around a village nearby, we found that nearly $200 had been stolen from our room. The Haven refused to pay back the money. They claimed that they could not be 59 any loss if our window was not locked.
My holiday was then a total failure. I thought a “haven” was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful place. 60 , I have experienced more stress and worry in that one day than I usually do working in the office for a week.

Several times a week, teenager Karina Moore trains at her local pool to jump from the high-diving board into the water—in an attempt(努力) to become a national diving champion.
Karina first knew about diving during a family break in Spain. There was a high-diving board in the hotel. Young people were diving off it. Karina didn’t join in, 85 she was a strong swimmer. Then after returning home, she discovered a long-distance runner she’d always admired had started diving for relaxation. So she became more 86 .
Karina joined a beginner’s training class at her local pool. They had several classes jumping onto soft materials before trying the high board. “The water looked a long way down,” says Karina, “but after our training, I felt I would 87 it. I didn’t injure myself! I couldn’t wait to get started, although the other weren’t so keen! Anyway, I wasn’t disappointed by the experience.”
In Karina’s area, there’s now lots of interest in high diving, but it’s sometimes 88 for swimmers to find suitable practice facilities. Although the pools are deep enough, they’re in use so often by diving club that other people don’t get opportunities to practice. Fortunately, though, Karina’s coach noticed her talent and helped her develop her techniques. After only two years, she won competitions in her area.
But what’s it like to 89 diving so much “I train 20 hours a week,” says Karina, “I won’t pretend it’s easy. You have to enjoy it to spend so much time doing it! It’s not easy for my parents, either. They drive me to training sessions early in the morning, and that costs money. But they’ve had financial help from sport organizations, 90 . And my school work and social life are good.

A thoughtful gift
Don’t focus on the price tag when you want to choose a gift. Instead, get creative and think about a different set of values.
Care
There are many things you can buy for friends, family members or even teachers. From a framed photograph to a small gift, each present sends a powerful message. And the closer you are to a person, the more 91 your present can be—it’s a real chance to prove how well you know them and their interests. Before you make a purchase, think about the 92 of the person you’re buying for. It’s not the price of the gift, but the thought behind it.
Time
You can give your time in so many ways.
Homemade presents are special and show you care enough to make an effort. 93 with emotion can also bring a sense of happiness. It could be knitting a scarf with their favourite colour, making a greeting card with a self-created poem inside or baking lovely cupcakes. Whatever you decide, make it amazing—for them and for you. And a gift doesn’t even have to be “ 94 ”. It could be simply hanging out together, including watching your friend’s must-see movie, visiting your mother’s favourite museum or asking a grandparent to tell you more about his/her childhood. The gift of time is 95 —think carefully about how the other person would wish to spend a few hours or a day together.
Meaning
Why wait for a birthday or Christmas From “I’m sorry” to “I love you” and “thank you” to “good luck”, gifts can take many messages and 96 inner feelings of regret and thankfulness when you are too shy to speak them out. It’s a wonderful feeling for the giver, too, as the person will be surprised and touched by such a display of care and attention.

I was out in the Rose Garden neighbor when I received a radio call telling me to 97 an accident nearby. A taxi driver had knocked down a cyclist on the corner of Hill Road and Green Street. The cyclist suffered back injuries and was sent by ambulance to the nearest hospital. The taxi driver was in a state of shock when I tried to interview him. 98 there were no passengers.

Picture this: You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. The 103 is the perfect temperature. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favourite breakfast is already cooked. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s a rainy day. You live 104 , but you find that your umbrella and hat are already by the door. How is all this possible
Welcome to your future life!
APPLIANCES THAT TALK
Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart”. Appliances will 105 each other and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest menu and recipes based on food items you already have.
HOUSES THAT THINK
Are you 106 the color or pattern of your walls In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like computer or TV screens.
A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. This technology controls your entire house. Your house can learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. 107 , it will set the heat in the house to your favourite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right heat. It will also darken the windows at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up.
ROBOTS THAT 108
But how about your cooked breakfast, and the umbrella and hat you found by the door For those, you can thank your robot helper. Scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots.
Sociable robots will be able to show feelings with their faces, just like humans. They will smile, frown and make eye contact. These robots will do work around the house. Hopefully they will even take care of children and the elderly.
How soon will this smart home be a reality There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in the next 10 years, perhaps sooner.

All living things need energy to survive. Humans get their energy by eating food, but it’s 115 for plants. Plants create their own food through the process of “photosynthesis (光合作用)”. Plants take energy from the sun and use it to turn water and carbon dioxide into a type of sugar. Through photosynthesis, plants not only create their own food, but they also 116 oxygen into the air. Photosynthesis is a complex process. First, the green coloring in leaves (chlorophyll 叶绿素) gets light energy from the sun. The sun becomes an important part of the process because it “ 117 ” the food for the plants. Similar to the way sunlight is taken into the leaves, the plant also takes in carbon dioxide. From its 118 , the plant gets water from the ground. The combination (组合) of light, gas and water completes the process of photosynthesis. Scientists believe that without plants, people would not be able to live. While 119 provide living things on Earth with oxygen, they also help balance the different gases in the air, especially carbon dioxide. Humans and animals take in air and let out carbon dioxide. Nature produces this gas in other ways. Without carbon dioxide, plants would be hungry. 120 , there is an important relationship between humans and plants.
