Last year I was 14 years old． I had an " enemy"， a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings（缺点）． Day by day her list grew： I was very thin； I was （1） ；I sometimes didn't respect the teachers， I talked too much： I was too proud， and so on． At last， I couldn't stand it． I cried and（2） to my father． He listened to me quietly．Then he asked，"Alfred， are the things she says true or not？ Didn't you ever wonder what you are really（3） ？ Well， you now have that girl's opinion． Go and make a list of everything she（4） and find out the points that are true． Pay no attention to the other things you heard．"
I did （5） my father told． To my surprise， I discovered that about half the things were true． Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin）， but a large number I could and suddenly I wanted to change． For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of （6） ．
I brought the list back to Daddy． He refused to take it． "It's just the case for you． he said，"you know better than anyone the （7） ．about yourself But you have to learn to listen， not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt． When something said about you is true， you'll find it will be of great help to you． Our world is full of people who think they know your duty． Don't shut your ears， listen to them all， but hear the fact only and do what you know is right thing（8） ．
In my life． I've never （9） a better piece of advice． Thanks for the shortcomings that someone has pointed out for us． They can make us know ourselves more and improve us（10） as we grow up．
In the new sci﹣fi film． The Wandering Earth《流浪地球》， humans save the Earth without leaving it． In many﹣even most﹣ space﹣themed films， whenever Earth faces a disaster（灾难），the（1） is always running away from the planet in spaceships．
But the latest Chinese sci﹣fi movie， The Wandering Earth ，offers a different and more ambitious idea． In the film，based on a short story by Chinese sci﹣fi writer Liu Cixin，Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun． In reply， humans around the world work （2） to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the dying sun．（3） giving up Earth﹣again﹣ this time we're taking it with us．
This"ambition"didn't come from nowhere， For thousands of years，"homeland" has had a soft point in （4） of Chinese people． One old idiom is "luoyeguigen"， which means returning to one's homeland at the old age， like （5） leaves return to the roots of their trees． Or there is an ancient poem， "The season called the White Dew begins tonight： Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright"． These（6） show the tight link that Chinese people have had with their homeland．
This special cultural background is probably the key （7） separates The Wandering Earth from Hollywood﹣style space films． "What is Chinese sci﹣fi？"Guo Fan， the film's director． said in an interview． "A movie that can really （8） our cultural and spiritual view can be called Chinese sci﹣fi． Or， we're just copying others and telling the same American stories．"
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci﹣fi story．The film was released on Feb 5 th， the first day of Chinese New Year． It was a time when many people had just made the （9） journey back to their hometowns．So to them， there is only one possible way to tell the story． Earth（10） wherever humans go， because it's our home forever．

On April 23.2019，a series of events to celebrate
the （1） anniversary of the Chinese People's Liberation Army（PLA）Nay（中国人民海军）was held in Qingdao．
Destroyers（驱逐舰） sailed in the sea， submarines（潜艇） slid under the surface and fighter jets flew across the sky． It wasn't a scene from a war movie， indeed， it was a real grand naval parade．
As a large country （2） more than 18，000 kilometers of coastline， China needs a strong navy． This was a hard lesson（3） by history． According to Xinhua， from the 1850s until 1949．foreign forces used the sea to make about 470 invasions of China． Therefore， the PLA Navy has become a key line of the nation's defense．
As President Xi Jinping said， the oceans are of great significance as they sustain life and connect the world． "The blue planet that humans inhabit is not divided into islands by the oceans．（4） is connected by the oceans to form a community with a shared future， where people of all countries share weal and woe，"said Xi during his （5） at the event．

In 30 years from now，what will we eat？ Will the food still be the same as it is now？
The United Nations says that there will be over 9 billion people in the world by 2050． Our food needs will grow by 70%． What we eat now may not be enough for humans in the future． That is to say， we 'll have to turn to something else． But what else can we eat？ Here are a few possible choices．
Veggie（Vegetable）meat
A new kind of hamburger is now popular in the US． It looks the same as any other hamburger．，and so is the taste． But it's actually a "beef" burger made out of plants． The company behind the burger，Impossible Foods， uses peas and potatoes to make the"beef"． They take coloring， protein（蛋白质） and fats from these plants and mix them together．
Making meat out of plants uses less water and land than raising animals for meat．It also creates fewer greenhouse gases， Some food companies are making chicken，pork and other meat out of plants， too﹣ follow the same steps as making the " beef"．
Insects
Insects make up little space and don't make much waste． They also have more protein than beef，chicken and pork．This makes insects another possible food of the future．
It's common for people in some places to eat whole insects， But most people probably won 't want to see the insects they eat． So in the future． people will first turn insects used for food into powder（粉末）． Then they can use the powder to make other foods like chips， protein bars， biscuits and so on．
Algae
The BBC says algae farming could become the world's biggest farming industry in the future． They point out that algae is cheap and grows very quickly． Also， it's very nutritious（有营养的）． It has much more protein and oil than many other plants．
Besides eating algae as a dish on its own． people may also use algae oil and algae butter in the future， Some algae has a strong taste． The UK scientists are trying to use algae to take the place of salt．
| Reason Traditional food may not（1） of people in the future because of the rising population． |
Result predictions； Humans will have enough food． Future food is good for both （2）
