课文挖空(Art in safe hands)
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Zhan Haojing, a high school student. I'm also a puppet 1.__________ (表演者). Look at this puppet. If I move my fingers, it will come to life!
I was born into a family of Minnan puppet performers. My grandpa and my mum are both among the best. When I was little, I loved the amazing stories they told with their hands. However, things changed when I became a teenager. I felt less close to the art because people thought puppets were too 2.__________ (老式的). I didn't want to be part of puppetry unless I was asked to.
One day my mum showed me a 3.__________ (表演) by my grandpa's teacher. The finely made puppets and their exciting movements brought back childhood memories. 4.__________ (立即,当场), my love for puppetry started to grow again. I posted my doubts about the future of puppetry online. To my surprise, the post 5.__________ (大量收到) comments expressing warm feelings. Many people showed their love for the art of puppetry and encouraged me to hold on. A truth hit me - it was my 6.__________ (责任) to keep the art alive because puppetry was in my blood.
The art will be popular again if young people are interested in it. So I held a puppet show at school. When I finished performing, I looked up and saw a surprising picture: the students were 7.__________ (极为激动). Their eyes were glued to the puppets. After a warm cheer, they came to ask where they could see a full performance.
The positive reply from the young viewers gave me more courage. Since then, my puppet shows have 8.__________ (引起更多关注) both from 9.__________ (国内外). The old art is getting more interest and new stories. With more and more people joining in, I believe the special magic of this traditional art will last forever!

Unit 2 On the money
课文挖空(A dog called Money)
"One of the best ways to get money is with a dream tin. You simply take a 1.__________ (备用的) tin and turn it into a piggy bank. Then write your dream on the tin. You will need one tin for each of your dreams. It could be of any 2.__________ (大小). When the tin is ready, put all the money that you have into it," said Money.
"But wouldn't it 3.__________ (更明智) to get more pocket money? If I could double it, that would be amazing." I replied.
Money became more serious. "You may not believe me, Kira. But ten times more money means ten times more problems. Because 4.__________ (我们得到的越多,花的也就越多)." This didn't make any sense. I'd surely go where there's ten times more pocket money. That's my dreamland.
But Money went on. "Take a look at your parents. They have over 100 times your pocket money. But still they can't 5.__________ (设法做到). It's not the number that matters; it's what you do with it.

I took another look at my list. Right. My first wish was to go on a trip abroad. The second was to buy a laptop. The third was to help my parents 8.__________ (编制预算) their money. I could make dream tins for the first two and start saving. However, the third one seemed a bit difficult to do by myself.

Unit 4 Heroes
课文挖空(What was she like?)
As a little girl, I was often told "Your grandmother Zhao Yiman was a hero". However, to me, she was just an old picture on the wall. She died long before I was born. So, I never got to know her.
As a teenager, I started asking questions about her. According to my great-aunt, Grandma was someone who never gave up. And she was also a person who always thought of others first. My teacher said that Grandma was a 1.__________ (无畏的) soldier who 2.__________ (勇敢地为…… 而死) China.
Years later, I followed her 3.__________ (足迹) across China. She fought in many places. I saw Yiman Street, Yiman Park, and Yiman Primary School. Even now, people in northeast China 4.__________ (怀着极大的敬意纪念她).
After I became a mother myself, I had more questions. How could a mother who loved her young son leave him behind? In the letter that Grandma wrote to my father before her 5.__________ (死亡), I found the answer. The paper has yellowed over time, but its message is as clear as ever. 6.__________ (字里行间), there is not only the love of a 7.__________ (温柔的) mother. There is also the courage of a brave 8.__________ (斗士). As I read it, tears quietly filled my eyes. For the first time, I saw Grandma as a real person. Now she is not just a picture or a name.

Unit 5 A fine balance
课文挖空(When the earth stands still)
In 2007, writer Alan Weisman wrote a book called The World Without Us. In the book, he showed his readers a world without humans. Let's imagine such a world. All human activities stop. Cars 1.__________ (消失) from the roads, boats from the rivers, and planes from the skies. Streets, beaches and parks that are usually full of people 2.__________ (保持) empty. If people are gone, what would happen to the natural world?
It is no surprise that animals would soon 3.__________ (增加) in number. In cities, traffic noise often means that animals cannot easily hear each other. Without humans, the noise would 4.__________ (降低) greatly as traffic stops. This allows natural sounds to fill the air. It is much easier for animals to find each other and form families. Also, tourists disappear from beaches and seas. Sea animals would not be troubled by people around them.
But not only animals would enjoy the change. Ecosystems would start to balance again, too. Trees would grow freely without the danger of being cut down. Forests would take back the space that humans now live in. The earth would soon be a green world again.
Without pollution, the natural wonders which have been hidden behind smog for years would appear again. Cleaner air and water would allow them to present all their beauty. But there wouldn't be people to admire such an amazing world. What a sad thing to think about!
Throughout history, humans have left so many 5.__________ (痕迹) on the earth, such as roads, farmlands and buildings. The 6.__________ (快速发展) of human society has made us care less for nature. It's clear that we can't wait till imagination becomes reality. The world isn't a game. We can't 7.__________ (取消) it and 8.__________ (重新开始). We need to think more about how we 9.__________ (与…… 相处) nature. Perhaps we should remember the wise words which Montaigne once wrote - let us 10.__________ (允许) nature to 11.__________ (随心所欲).

Unit 6 Live green
课文挖空(Plastic: good or bad?)
When plastic was 1.__________ (发明) around 1870, it was considered an amazing material. It was light, easy to shape, long-lasting and cheap. It quickly 2.__________ (取代) wood and other natural materials. Many people believed plastic would make life better. Back then it was called an "environmental hero"!
Not surprisingly, plastic has now filled our lives. We can find it in bags, bottles, toothbrushes, gloves, mobile phones, cars, houses... you name it.

Since then, it has become a danger to sea animals. Some animals, such as whales, eat it 5.__________ (错误地) and die. The former "hero" kills more than 100,000 sea animals every year. By 2050, there could be even more plastic in the sea than fish.
Plastic is also causing problems on land. Birds' wings get tied in plastic lines. Bears' heads get stuck in plastic bins. Cows mistake plastic bags for food! Even humans are eating plastic waste! 6.__________ (平均而言), we eat five grams of plastic a week. That's a whole bank card! Tiny pieces of plastic are found in the air we breathe. They can be carried around by the wind. There is even plastic "snow" at the North and South Poles. On "Planet Plastic", nowhere is free from this man-made material.
Getting free of plastic waste isn't easy. It may take thousands of years to 7.__________ (分解). Therefore, hiding the waste in the ground doesn't 8.__________ (解决问题). Burning it also 9.__________ (产生) thick smoke that causes air pollution.
Plastic is not just causing an environmental problem. It is a matter of life and death for humans and for the future of our planet. Everyone knows that there is no Planet B. Let's 10.__________ (践行无塑生活)!
