His mother was （7） of his son． She asked him， "David， how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so （8） ？"
"It was easy．" David said， "The other children kept looking down as they climbed． When they came to （9） how high they were， they got scared and were afraid of falling down． I， however， looked only up． When I saw how close I was， I kept going higher and higher（10）

If you go to another country， what kinds of things would you buy？ Would you buy a camera in Japan， some beautiful clothes in France，（1） a watch in Switzerland？ No（2） what you may buy，you might think those products were made in those countries．（3） ， you could be wrong． Kang Jian is a 17﹣year﹣old student from Shanghai． Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco． He found it （4） that so many products in the localshops were made in China．"I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin， but even （5） most of the toys were American brands， they were made in China．"
Toys are not the only things made in China． "I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes，" he explains． "But I had to visit five or six stores before（6） a pair made in America!" He realized that Americans can（7） avoid buying products made in China． "In fact，" he continues，"there （8） many other things there made in China﹣footballs，handbags， pet food，mobile phones． Even American （9） are made in China!" Kang Jian thinks it′s great that China is so good at making these everyday things． However， he hopes that in the future China will also get （10） at making high﹣technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world．

The whole world felt excited on the night of April 10th，2019．For the first time in history，people saw an image（图象）of a black hole．The picture became （1） at once．But attention soon turned to a computer scientist，Katie Bouman．Without （2） efforts，the historic image wouldn't have been possible．
Black holes are very far away．It （3） easy to photograph one．It's like taking a photo of an orange that is on the moon．Many scientists had tried．However，none of them（4） ．
These failures didn't stop Bouman from trying．Three years ago，the scientist started working on a special computer programme．Over the years，she has improved the（5） many times．Finally，it turned telescope（望远镜）data into the black hole image．
Bouman has received lots of praise for her work．The young woman，however，is modest（谦虚的）．She says the efforts of her colleagues（同事）were important，too．"None of us could do it （6） ，"she told reporters．
Do you want to make history as Bouman did？Set yourself a goal and work towards it．One day，you will make the impossible possible，too．
