Life is also difficult for his wife, Theresa. She is a teacher and, for three months, has no husband to help her with shopping, cooking, cleaning and checking homework. She is very 41 , so the children help with the housework, go to bed at nine o’clock and get up for school without any problems. Theresa prepares dinners in advance and makes the most of every hour of the day. Then, Arthur comes home. He ignores the normal bedtimes because he wants to tell his children stories and play with them. The children stop doing housework and, because they go to bed late, they are tired when they get up in the morning. Of course, Theresa understands and is pleased to see her family so happy, but it takes a week or more to get life back to normal when Arthur goes back to sea.
Now, Arthur wants to find a job on land but he knows it isn’t easy. What can a ship’s captain do when he isn’t on a ship Arthur’s dream is to be a writer of children’s books and work from home. This dream 42 him up when he is on the other side of the world and still has two months before he sees his family again.

By the end of the movie, Josh is very open to trying new things.”
The Lyle we see in the movie is made by computer. He’s voiced by singer Shawn Mendes. But Winslow said it was Lyle’s player Ben Palacios who brought Lyle to 46 . This made it easy for Winslow to get into the character. “It was a nice 47 because I could work with a real person.” said Winslow. “This helps me perform well.”

(2024上·上海黄浦·九年级统考期末)The difference between needs and wants
It’s very easy to waste money—even small purchases like stickers and snacks quickly add up. This makes it harder to save up for the things that you really want, but also means you might run out of money. In that case, you have to 61 what you need, not just what you want.
What do you need
People often 62 things that they need for things that they want. For example, you need to eat dinner, but that doesn’t mean you need takeaway pizza—you just want it. You might hear grown-ups talking about how they “need” a holiday, but this is something they would 63 instead of something they need to survive.
What do you want
Wants are items that would be nice to have, but you can 64 them. Unlike needs, your wants will change over time. As a child you might want a new bike, but when you get a bit older you want a phone, new clothes, or even a car.
When you have some money, it’s 65 that you will spend it all on the things you want. This isn’t a good idea because there’s a risk you won’t have enough money left to pay for things you need.
Mindful spending
Unfortunately, we can’t always have everything we want, at least not right away. Therefore, it is important to think twice about whether you 66 need something right now.
Getting into the habit of doing this now will make it much easier to manage money when you’re grown up.
Stop and think before you spend.

I used to be a shy boy and I didn’t like to be noticed. I usually chose to sit 73 at the back of the classroom.
After I joined the basketball club, everything changed. At first, I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have the ability to keep up with the others in the club. They would laugh at me. But my teacher kept asking me to go for it. I decided to give it a try.

Luckily, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced a lot. Soon I knew much about the game and learned the moves from the coach. Being part of a team was so 75 . Very soon the competitive(努力竞争的)part for me was winning though I didn’t have much confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much 76 !
With more confidence coming, I got more 77 from teachers and classmates. I have gone from 78 in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t very sure to have the right answer. Now I have more confidence in myself.

Company Creates First 3D-Printed Fish
Do you end Many of us do, but overfishing is a problem. There are many ways to respond to this. One is to only eat seafood that is caught through scientific fishing methods. Another is not to eat fish at all. However, a new 85 is 3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat. It sounds like 86 , but it’s happening now. “The product tastes, and melts in your mouth exactly like fish should,” says Mihir Pershad, the CEO of Umami Meats.
Umami Meats, a Singapore company, cultivates stem cells (干细胞) taken from live fish. Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and 87 muscle and fat samples (样本) after another week. The second company, Steakholder Foods, uses the muscle and fat samples in high-tech 3D printers. They are able to 88 the shape and size of the piece of “fish” first, and then mix muscles and fat together. This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish.
The ability to create 3D-printed fish is an incredible technological achievement. Umami Meats focuses on helping protect some endangered fish like tuna, reducing the need for overfishing. 3D-printed fish is 89 of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood. It can also be produced quite cheaply compared to live fish. However, a lot of research on the 90 of eating 3D-printed food needs to be done. This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now. The earliest we will see them is likely some time in 2024.

For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the Grand Canal (京杭大运河) . Today, this important waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is 91 the longest man-made river in the world, and continues to play an important role in modern China.
Construction begins
The earliest canal system began around the year 605, when Emperor Yang 92 that—in order to feed his army—he needed a way to move food quickly from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. People worked to build the first section of the Grand Canal, which connected existing canals, lakes, and rivers. Construction took six years and was completed in 611. Over the next 500 years, the canal’s importance grew throughout China.
A nation’s lifeline
The Grand Canal was also an important cultural connection. Soldiers, businessmen, and artists transported ideas, foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another along the country’s watery highway. According to legend (传说) , this is 93 Beijing came to have two of its best-known trademarks (招牌) : Beijing duck, a dish from Shandong Province in the south, and Beijing opera from Anhui and Hubei, also in the south.
The modern canal
For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal. Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important 94 role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of coal food and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining. 95 , local governments eager to increase tourism and real estate development are working to beautify areas along the canal.
This development comes at a price, though. In Yangzhou, the city has torn down almost all of the older canal-side buildings. Farther south in the cities of Zhenjiang, the 96 is similar. In Hangzhou, for example, almost all of the ancient buildings have been pulled down. In 2005, a group of citizens proposed that the historic Grand Canal be made a UNESCO World Heritage site, to protect both the waterway and the architecture around it. The hope is that the Grand Canal, one of the world’s great engineering achievements, will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.

Should people walk where they want
In most of England, walkers are limited to footpaths.
More than 100 musicians, actors and writers wrote to the UK government, “In the books we write, the songs we sing, the art we make, we celebrate the important connection that we feel with nature. But that connection is 97 by the fences that surround (围绕) much of England’s land, stopping people from walking free.”
Although in 2000, a law was passed to allow people to walk around 8% of England’s countryside. Some people say this isn’t good enough. Others point out that there are businesses that need to keep the land private. What do you think Should people be allowed to walk wherever they like
YES! — Nature belongs to everyone
Nowadays it is important for people to take a walk outdoors — for their mental and physical health. It encourages people and brings them 98 and relaxation. Yet this space is not enough and is now surrounded by fences. To get closer to nature, most people have to travel for miles. Everyone should be able to get close to nature 99 . Blue sky, flying birds and green tree-lined paths should not belong to any private organization or person. But the truth is that such a small number of people own such huge amounts of land. Among every eight British houses, one has no gardens. This isn’t 100 .
NO! — The walking paths are enough
The land isn’t just for people’s enjoyment or health. For many people, it means family’s whole-year income. 101 , farmers need fields to keep their animals, like sheep or bulls, for a living. Also, it isn’t safe for walkers to walk around because the land may have many hidden 102 such as wetlands and snakes. Moreover, walkers do not always show their respect. They leave gates open, litter everywhere, scare off birds and stand over plants. In fact, many people are not really looking for a connection with the wild. They just want a short walk with the nice scenery. The government should focus on making paths for walkers and leave the rest of the land alone.

Many people eat too much meat—steaks, beef burgers, sausages, etc. That’s not good for us and we need big farms to produce all that meat. The farms already use 30% of all the world’s land: they create greenhouse gases and use a lot of water and energy. However, we can do something to 32 .We can eat meat only one or two days a week, for example, and eat more vegetables—that’s healthy. We can eat some different types of meat—creepy-crawlies 33 !

Protein is very important for our health, and it’s good for our hair and our skin.
Protein keeps our muscles and bones in good condition as well.
There are two more reasons why insects are good food 34 insect farms don’t need so much water and energy. Also, they don’t use so much space.
For some people in countries in Asia and Latin America, eating insects is not 35 . But for people in Europe and many other countries, it seems very strange.

(2023上·上海静安·九年级上海市回民中学校考期中)Money makes the world go around, yet the best things in life are free. A penny saved is a penny earned, but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about 55 money. Now is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.
When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.
● How much do you really want it
Seeing a pair of jeans which costs 980, Tony wanted it. But after thinking about it, he thought it would be exciting only for a day or two. “Besides, I need to wear the school uniform on weekdays, so it’s not 56 for me to wear it every day,” he said wisely.
● Do you still want it a week later
If the thing passes the “really-wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the 57 is. This is a strategy working for grown-ups, too!
● How will you pay for it
After the first two steps, Tony found he really wanted a new computer game, but it cost 500. He had 220 in his pocket money and gets 15 a week to spend. His mother helped him to 58 how many weeks he would need to save to get the game.
● Are there ways to earn the money
Tony agreed to clean the windows in the house at one yuan each. So he got 10 yuan for himself and sparkling (闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.
● Can you get it 59
After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets (跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.
If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really 60 shopper.

(2024上·上海黄浦·九年级统考期末)The difference between needs and wants
It’s very easy to waste money—even small purchases like stickers and snacks quickly add up. This makes it harder to save up for the things that you really want, but also means you might run out of money. In that case, you have to 61 what you need, not just what you want.
What do you need
People often 62 things that they need for things that they want. For example, you need to eat dinner, but that doesn’t mean you need takeaway pizza—you just want it. You might hear grown-ups talking about how they “need” a holiday, but this is something they would 63 instead of something they need to survive.
What do you want
Wants are items that would be nice to have, but you can 64 them. Unlike needs, your wants will change over time. As a child you might want a new bike, but when you get a bit older you want a phone, new clothes, or even a car.
When you have some money, it’s 65 that you will spend it all on the things you want. This isn’t a good idea because there’s a risk you won’t have enough money left to pay for things you need.
Mindful spending
Unfortunately, we can’t always have everything we want, at least not right away. Therefore, it is important to think twice about whether you 66 need something right now.
Getting into the habit of doing this now will make it much easier to manage money when you’re grown up.
Stop and think before you spend.

Richard has always enjoyed making things using old household appliances and machines. 67 when he was quite young, he made fans for his parents’ house from car parts and things he found in a junkyard.

Since he was nine, Richard has had the job of looking after his family’s cows, goats and sheep. The big 68 has been the lions. “I grew up hating lions” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cattle when we were sleeping.”
Then one night, as he was walking around with a torch, he noticed something. “I discovered that the lions were 69 of the moving light.” Lions are naturally afraid of people. Richard realized that the lions connected the moving torchlight with people, so they 70 . Using some bulbs and wires, Richard set up a series of flashing lights to give the 71 that people were walking around the land where the animals were kept. The lions didn’t come near. Soon other families were using his “lion lights”.
Richard’s lion lights cost just ten dollars to make. They have not only helped the farmers but also the lions. Many lions have been killed by farmers trying to protect their animals. Now, across Kenya, Richard’s idea has been 72 by farmers to protect their animals from predators (捕食性动物) and to protect their crops from elephants.
Richard has been offered a scholarship at one of Kenya’s top schools. “One year ago, I was just a boy herding my father’s cows. Now I want to be an engineer and a pilot.”

I used to be a shy boy and I didn’t like to be noticed. I usually chose to sit 73 at the back of the classroom.
After I joined the basketball club, everything changed. At first, I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have the ability to keep up with the others in the club. They would laugh at me. But my teacher kept asking me to go for it. I decided to give it a try.
Taking the courage to try was only the half of it! When I first started attending the practice courses, I didn’t even know the 74 of the game. Sometimes I got confused and took a shot at the wrong direction. That made me feel really stupid. Luckily, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced a lot. Soon I knew much about the game and learned the moves from the coach. Being part of a team was so 75 . Very soon the competitive(努力竞争的)part for me was winning though I didn’t have much confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much 76 !
With more confidence coming, I got more 77 from teachers and classmates. I have gone from 78 in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t very sure to have the right answer. Now I have more confidence in myself.

Company Creates First 3D-Printed Fish
Do you end Many of us do, but overfishing is a problem. There are many ways to respond to this. One is to only eat seafood that is caught through scientific fishing methods. Another is not to eat fish at all. However, a new 85 is 3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat. It sounds like 86 , but it’s happening now. “The product tastes, and melts in your mouth exactly like fish should,” says Mihir Pershad, the CEO of Umami Meats.
Umami Meats, a Singapore company, cultivates stem cells (干细胞) taken from live fish. Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and 87 muscle and fat samples (样本) after another week. The second company, Steakholder Foods, uses the muscle and fat samples in high-tech 3D printers. They are able to 88 the shape and size of the piece of “fish” first, and then mix muscles and fat together. This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish.
The ability to create 3D-printed fish is an incredible technological achievement. Umami Meats focuses on helping protect some endangered fish like tuna, reducing the need for overfishing. 3D-printed fish is 89 of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood. It can also be produced quite cheaply compared to live fish. However, a lot of research on the 90 of eating 3D-printed food needs to be done. This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now. The earliest we will see them is likely some time in 2024.

For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the Grand Canal (京杭大运河) . Today, this important waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is 91 the longest man-made river in the world, and continues to play an important role in modern China.
Construction begins
The earliest canal system began around the year 605, when Emperor Yang 92 that—in order to feed his army—he needed a way to move food quickly from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. People worked to build the first section of the Grand Canal, which connected existing canals, lakes, and rivers. Construction took six years and was completed in 611. Over the next 500 years, the canal’s importance grew throughout China.
A nation’s lifeline
The Grand Canal was also an important cultural connection. Soldiers, businessmen, and artists transported ideas, foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another along the country’s watery highway. According to legend (传说) , this is 93 Beijing came to have two of its best-known trademarks (招牌) : Beijing duck, a dish from Shandong Province in the south, and Beijing opera from Anhui and Hubei, also in the south.
The modern canal
For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal. Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important 94 role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of coal food and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jining. 95 , local governments eager to increase tourism and real estate development are working to beautify areas along the canal.
This development comes at a price, though. In Yangzhou, the city has torn down almost all of the older canal-side buildings. Farther south in the cities of Zhenjiang, the 96 is similar. In Hangzhou, for example, almost all of the ancient buildings have been pulled down. In 2005, a group of citizens proposed that the historic Grand Canal be made a UNESCO World Heritage site, to protect both the waterway and the architecture around it. The hope is that the Grand Canal, one of the world’s great engineering achievements, will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.

Should people walk where they want
In most of England, walkers are limited to footpaths.
More than 100 musicians, actors and writers wrote to the UK government, “In the books we write, the songs we sing, the art we make, we celebrate the important connection that we feel with nature. But that connection is 97 by the fences that surround (围绕) much of England’s land, stopping people from walking free.”
Although in 2000, a law was passed to allow people to walk around 8% of England’s countryside. Some people say this isn’t good enough. Others point out that there are businesses that need to keep the land private. What do you think Should people be allowed to walk wherever they like
YES! — Nature belongs to everyone
Nowadays it is important for people to take a walk outdoors — for their mental and physical health. It encourages people and brings them 98 and relaxation. Yet this space is not enough and is now surrounded by fences. To get closer to nature, most people have to travel for miles. Everyone should be able to get close to nature 99 . Blue sky, flying birds and green tree-lined paths should not belong to any private organization or person. But the truth is that such a small number of people own such huge amounts of land. Among every eight British houses, one has no gardens. This isn’t 100 .
NO! — The walking paths are enough
The land isn’t just for people’s enjoyment or health. For many people, it means family’s whole-year income. 101 , farmers need fields to keep their animals, like sheep or bulls, for a living. Also, it isn’t safe for walkers to walk around because the land may have many hidden 102 such as wetlands and snakes. Moreover, walkers do not always show their respect. They leave gates open, litter everywhere, scare off birds and stand over plants. In fact, many people are not really looking for a connection with the wild. They just want a short walk with the nice scenery. The government should focus on making paths for walkers and leave the rest of the land alone.

Teen faints after skipping meals
A teenage girl fainted yesterday at Stonechester High School after skipping meals.
Jennifer Jones, 15, told friends in her class that she was feeling unwell. She then passed out in her morning PE lesson and was rushed to hospital.
Jennifer was found to have dangerously low blood sugar levels and was treated immediately. Her worried parents told the doctor that their daughter missed breakfast that day and 109 touched her dinner the night before. Fortunately, she is now out of danger. Her doctor says that she will make a full recovery in a day or two.
Jennifer’s classmates hope to see her back at school soon. They say that she has struggled with eating problems for a long time. “Jennifer thought that skipping meals would be a simple way to reach her target weight,” her friend Laura Williams told our reporter. “She has not eaten breakfast for the last few months. She told me she had trouble concentrating in class. I 110 her that skipping meals was unhealthy, but she wouldn’t listen.”

Health experts are 112 these figures. They are increasing their efforts to educate teenagers about the side effects of losing weight too quickly.

However, for those who are dangerously overweight, it is very important that they try to lose weight properly,” said an expert.
She pointed out that it is important to have a healthy balanced diet since teenagers are still growing and their bodies need a lot of nutrition to function well. If they do not take in enough food, they may feel weak and get ill easily. She added, “ 114 , they should keep regular hours and get plenty of exercise to stay energetic and fit. We strongly encourage all teenagers to follow these lifestyle tips, because living well is the safest and most effective way to get into shape.”
