Sweet wormwood （青蒿）is a common plant in China,     it has the power to cure the deadly disease called malaria （疟疾）. Tu Youyou    （be）the woman who uses the plant’s special power to save millions of lives. The Chinese scientist won a Nobel Prize because of her great contribution.
On October 5, Tu was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She shared the prize with two other scientists from the US and Japan. Tu is the first native Chinese person   __（receive）a Nobel Prize in natural sciences.
Tu was modest about receiving the award: “It’s a success for the whole research team.” She also thinks       is scientists’ duty to fight for the health of all humans.
When Tu joined the national research team to find the medicine     could fight against malaria in the 1960s and 1970s, things were hard. The team didn’t have advanced equipment back then. Tu used to test      （medicine） by eating them herself. Her team searched old Chinese medicine books     hand and tested over 2,000 traditional recipes.
Once Tu      （return）home after traveling for six months. Her little daughter didn’t recognize her and hid from the “strange woman”. To do research, Tu also had to move around a lot.

According to World Health Organization, about 200 million people suffer   malaria around the world, and about haft a million die each year.

In the middle of April, if you walk through Jinghong, capital of Xishuangbanna region in Yunnan province,(chance) are that you'll get very, very wet. The Dai people will be celebrating their water-splashing（泼水）festival from April 15 t0 17, marking the new year for the Dai ethnic minority.
Lonely Planet, one of the world's(large) travel brands, has described what happens: “People race around the streets of Jinghong and the surrounding villages, soaking（浸透）every person sight with buckets of water.(tradition), water would be collected and poured only on family members as a
symbolic way(ensure) good luck in the coming year. Dai people believe that the wetter you get, the luckier you will be.
Although water (play)a vital role in the celebration, there is much more to the festival, especially during the first two days water splashing is comparatively kept under control, according to Lonely Planet. People wear their best clothes, while older women in nearby villages(dress) in traditional outfits（服装）.They gather with their families and visit Dai temples. There, they wash the statues of Buddha（佛教）with water, a practice(know) as ”Bathing the Buddha".

Humor

If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment，you're missing some of its biggest benefits：Humor makes average﹣looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining．Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter．

Best of all，humor raises your energy，and that can have an effect on everything you do at school，at work，or in your personal life．The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise，and that will raise your overall energy even more．

Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles．Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems．

In my experience，most people think they have a sense of humor，and to some degree that's true．But not all senses of humor are created equal．So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life．

You don't have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor．You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor．Every party needs a straight person．You'll appear fun and funny by association．

When it comes to in﹣person humor，effort counts a lot．When people see you trying to be funny，it frees them to try it themselves．So even if your own efforts at humor fall short，you might be freeing the long kept humor in others．People need permission to be funny in social settings because there's always a risk that comes with humor．For in﹣person humor，quality isn't as important as you might think．Your attitude and effort count a lot．

Some people﹣and I was one of them﹣believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor，and sometimes that is the case．The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint﹣based humor．One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny，but five is just complaining，no matter how smart you think you are．Funny complaints can wear people out．

Self﹣deprecating（自嘲式） humor is usually the safest type，but here again you don't want to overshoot the target．One self﹣deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor．You have to be at least a bit self﹣assured to laugh at yourself in front of others．But if you do it too often，you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog．

Humo
Benefits of humor	●Humor is form of （1） 　　．Humor can improve one's （2） 　　and personality． ●Humor can make one （3） 　　in his work，study，and life． ●Humor has a positive（4） 　　effect when we are in difficulties．
（5） 　　to follow	●（6） 　　others for a conversation of fun is as good as telling a joke yourself when showing your sense of humor． ●Quality counts （7） 　　than attitude and effort﹣even a stupid joke can （8） 　　others of risk and embarrassment．
Traps to （9）	●One humorous complaint makes funny person．But too many complaints will （10） 　　your audience． ●Self﹣deprecating comments show one's assurance．But too much deprecation will make a Chihuahua dog．

Directions：After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct．For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The Koran
Most religions have some kind of holy text on which the religious beliefs are based．For Christians this text is the Holy Bible; for Jews it is the Torah and for Muslims it is the Koran.
Muslims believe that the Koran(consist) of revelations from God to Muhammad during the years 610 to 632 when Muhammad died．These revelations were written down by those  were close to him during this time and for several years after his death．They were gathered into the text (know) as the Koran during the years 630 to 650.
The interpretation of the Koran has always been a difficult task, even for Islamic scholars．For example, the meanings of some words are determined by dots above the vowels(元音)．In ancient Arabic, however, very often these dots (omit)．As a result some letters looked identical．Thus, the meanings of these words depended in many cases  the memories of the men who had written them．Early Muslims had to try to get the exact meanings of the words these people died and it was too late.
Unlike the Bible, in which the events are provided in time order, there is no reference tothings occurred in the Koran．In any case, unlike the Bible, most the suras - sections - are composed of orders and warnings．Unlike in the Bible, there are very few stories in the Koran．
Muslims believe that by (recite) the book, they create a holy atmosphere, and there are many Muslims who have learned the Koran by heart.

The top education official in Cambodia is praising efforts to prevent final-year high school studentscheating on their exams. Minister of Education Hang Chuon Naron says he is sure the results will be better.
Cambodia’s 88,000 final-year high school students(take) their exams last month. Many are afraid the government’s “no-cheating” policy may hurt their chances of entering university.

For certain reasons I       (stay) with relatives currently, and in their living room sits a piano which is my favourite musical instrument.
As        child I started learning to play the piano but soon decided to stop so that I could concentrate more       my studies. This is one of my biggest regrets. Every year I would say, “I’m going back to it soon” but I never managed to. Some years later, my teacher      had taught me to play the piano died. I was heartbroken.
   (sit) sat their piano, I think of the times when I used to practice. One time my teacher hugged me after I played an entire sheet of music       (correct) in front of her colleagues. I was so      (embarrass) but her efforts to comfort me helped in easing the shame. These occurrences, good or bad, never decrease my desire        (play) the piano. I still want to make music.
This       (think) then leads me to think that life is like music. Sometimes the music        (produce) is perfect while other times we are out of tune. However, we all coutinue to create our own unique style of music.
