whether narrow good attract for great a build farm they
Ecotourism (生态旅游) has become popular in recent years. Many villages in China have developed ecotourism to improve local life. Lushan Village is 1 good example. Let me tell you what happened.
Forty years ago, Lushan Village was a poor place. People made a living by 2 and fishing. The roads were 3 and the traffic wasn’t convenient. Few visitors came here and most young people left the village to find jobs in cities.
Things began to change in 2010. The local government decided to develop ecotourism. First, they widened the roads and 4 small parks. Then, they encouraged villagers to turn 5 old houses into guest houses. Slowly, the whole village became a tourist 6 . Farmers started to grow organic (有机的) vegetables and fruit, which could be sold to visitors.

Over the past years, Lushan Village has changed 9 . Every year, thousands of visitors come here to enjoy the fresh air, climb mountains and experience country life. Young people have returned to work in the village—some run cafes, some work as tour guides, and others manage guest houses. Now villagers become richer and can now pay for better education and medical care for their families.
These great changes show the power of hard work and good policies(政策). As long as we keep working hard and follow good policies, we will create a brighter and 10 future.

Does my goldfish know who I am?
I think this is a great question. I do spend my days 1 how fish go about their lives. First of all, fish are much 2 than people think. People often talk of goldfish having three—second memories, but in fact they can learn all kinds of things and remember them 3 quite a long time.
This shouldn’t surprise 4 too much. Just like other animals, they can find enough to eat and know when it is safe to be out in the open. The 5 of learning and remembering things helps them do this.
Many kinds of fish can tell one from another according to their groups, their 6 and even their own eggs. But fish live in a very different world from us. For many kinds of fish, 7 sight is important, senses such as smell and touch are even more important.
So, does your fish know who you are? I believe your fish will 8 know when it is feeding time. My own fish become very 9 when my hand appears near the fishbowl, even before I drop the food in. I’m not sure whether your fish will be able to remember what your face 10 like, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if it could remember you in other ways, perhaps by the sound of your footsteps as you walk towards the fishbowl.
【答案】
1．studying 2．smarter 3．for 4．us 5．ability 6．relatives 7．although 8．surely 9．excited 10．looks

Ecotourism (生态旅游) has become popular in recent years. Many villages in China have developed ecotourism to improve local life. Lushan Village is 1 good example. Let me tell you what happened.
Forty years ago, Lushan Village was a poor place. People made a living by 2 and fishing. The roads were 3 and the traffic wasn’t convenient. Few visitors came here and most young people left the village to find jobs in cities.
Things began to change in 2010. The local government decided to develop ecotourism. First, they widened the roads and 4 small parks. Then, they encouraged villagers to turn 5 old houses into guest houses. Slowly, the whole village became a tourist 6 . Farmers started to grow organic (有机的) vegetables and fruit, which could be sold to visitors. Some villagers wondered 7 this new project would bring them more chances.They thought it was important 8 local people to make full use of natural resources.
Over the past years, Lushan Village has changed 9 . Every year, thousands of visitors come here to enjoy the fresh air, climb mountains and experience country life. Young people have returned to work in the village—some run cafes, some work as tour guides, and others manage guest houses. Now villagers become richer and can now pay for better education and medical care for their families.
These great changes show the power of hard work and good policies(政策). As long as we keep working hard and follow good policies, we will create a brighter and 10 future.

Does my goldfish know who I am?
I think this is a great question. I do spend my days 1 how fish go about their lives. First of all, fish are much 2 than people think. People often talk of goldfish having three—second memories, but in fact they can learn all kinds of things and remember them 3 quite a long time.
This shouldn’t surprise 4 too much. Just like other animals, they can find enough to eat and know when it is safe to be out in the open. The 5 of learning and remembering things helps them do this.
Many kinds of fish can tell one from another according to their groups, their 6 and even their own eggs. But fish live in a very different world from us. For many kinds of fish, 7 sight is important, senses such as smell and touch are even more important.
So, does your fish know who you are? I believe your fish will 8 know when it is feeding time. My own fish become very 9 when my hand appears near the fishbowl, even before I drop the food in. I’m not sure whether your fish will be able to remember what your face 10 like, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if it could remember you in other ways, perhaps by the sound of your footsteps as you walk towards the fishbowl.
