Saihanba, in North China, was once a land of sand. Sixty years ago, there was a （1）________ of trees, and in spring sandstorms often buried the roads and the farms. Life was hard, and many young people left home to look for work in the big cities. Then three hundred and sixty-nine workers came. They planted （2）________ and trees deep in the （3）________ land, because they had learnt that strong roots could hold the soil together. The work went slowly, but year by year the green area grew larger. Today, Saihanba is a different world. The hills are （4）________ with forest, and the place has become the world’s biggest man-made forest — a true （5）________ of China’s green work. The （6）________ no longer leave home.

brave　　forever　　inspire　　leave behind　　live on　　scientist　whole　　collection　　admire　　wisdom

Zhong Yang was a professor at Fudan University and one of the most （1）________ people in Chinese science. He spent his （2）________ life collecting seeds for the country’s seed banks. In 2001, he began his travels across Xizang. It was not easy to （3）________ the cold weather and the great heights there. He sometimes fell sick, but he never gave up, because he knew that if some plants disappeared, they would be lost （4）________ from the world. Zhong Yang also believed that important work needed more people. He started a programme to find and train local students, and some of them later became （5）________ like himself. Together, he and his team built a huge （6）________ of more than forty million seeds, and their work provided the world with new information about the plants in China.

C　Unit 3　Learning Is a Habit, Not a Race

method　　in general　　put off　　aloud　　look　　advantage　　

efficiently　　suggest　　feedback　　mindset

How can we become better learners? Real research gives us some useful ideas. First, teaching others is, in part, a good （1）________ of learning actively. When you explain a difficult point to a classmate, you must think about it more clearly, and you get a deeper understanding of the subject yourself. Second, plan your time （2）________: twenty minutes of study, then a short rest, because a tired brain learns little. （3）________, a little work every day works far better than one long night before an exam. Many students still （4）________ their hardest subjects until the last week, and that is why they feel so stressed. Third, read the new words （5）________ and listen to a podcast on the way to school. If you do not know a word, （6）________ it up in a dictionary and write one example sentence with it. At the end of every unit, our teacher （7）________ that we check our work before we hand it in. She also tells us to take full （8）________ of the school library, the websites and the learning apps. Learning is not a race; it is a habit.

D　Unit 4　Why Can We Forget — and How Can We Remember?

memorize　　run　　happen　　recognize　　outline　　keep　　

divide　　mix　　position　　effective

Why do we forget the words we worked on, yet remember the words of a song? The answer may surprise you. Scientists have found that many animals have good long-term memories, too. Squirrels are able to （1）________ the position of every nut they bury and go straight to the place when they （2）________ out of food in winter. Wild geese fly thousands of kilometres south every autumn, and they seldom get lost. A similar thing also （3）________ to dolphins: they can （4）________ the voices of friends they have not met for years. For students, four simple rules work well. First, write an （5）________ of your speech, and remember the key words instead of every word. Second, turn those words into pictures and （6）________ them in mind in the right order. Third, （7）________ a long passage into

short parts and practise them one by one. Fourth, retell what you have learnt to a classmate — if you （8）________ one word with another, your classmate will tell you at once.

E　Unit 5　A Weak Glue That Worked

produce　　sticky　　lead　　invent　　result　　complete　　

suppose　　responsible　　afford　　rapid

In 1968, a scientist called Spencer Silver was trying to make a very strong glue. To his surprise, he （1）________ a glue that was weak: it could hold things, but people could take them off easily. It seemed to be a failure, and for years nobody knew what to do with it. Then, in 1974, another worker, Arthur Fry, was trying to mark the pages of a song book with small pieces of paper, but the paper kept falling to the floor. He remembered Silver’s （2）________ glue and put it on the back of the paper. The pages stayed, and the paper could still be taken off later. This idea （3）________ to the production of sticky notes of many sizes and colours, and today they are used all over the world. Great inventions often start in this way. China （4）________ papermaking many centuries ago, and when paper and printing came together in later centuries, it （5）________ in a rapid increase in the number of books and a new birth of knowledge. In December 1903, the world’s first plane flights （6）________ by the Wright brothers, and journeys that once took weeks now take only a few hours. New technology is changing fast. Some people worry that machines （7）________ to do everything for us, but most scientists believe that it is our ideas that are （8）________ for a better life.

F　Unit 6　No End to What Lies Beyond

wonder　　mysterious　　launch　　tie　　board　　require　　

set foot　　beyond　　in case　　maintain

Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and （1）________ what they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light belonged to gods or other （2）________ worlds. That idea has changed. In 1977, the spacecraft Voyager 1 （3）________ from the earth. It is now about twenty-three billion kilometres away, but that is still a long way from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star. For a journey with humans, even reaching Mars would take from six to nine months, so the
