John and Ace had had Christian since he was a cub. However, (1) he grew bigger, it
became obvious that their apartment in the city was too small. It was no longer a (2) home

Hi, Eric. I’ve attached a link to a video in this email. It recently (1) viral, so you may
have seen it already. It was made by environmental (2) who cared very much about marine
lives. It shows the plastic garbage (3) has been found inside the bodies of some fish and other
marine creatures. In our society, most people give little thought to what happens to the plastic
items they (4) . They don’t even realize (5) so much of it ends up in the oceans and
enters the food chain. It can cause (6) harm. Since I became more aware of this problem, I
have (7) steps to join the fight against plastic pollution in our seas. While scientists are busy
doing (8) to find out the extent of the problem, I have helped organize beach cleanups and
other events. Busy (9) you are, maybe you can still spare a little time to support our
campaign. In the meantime, I hope you can decrease your use of plastic, as well as making sure it
is properly (10) . The oceans really need our help.

The priming effect can play a role in people’s eating choices. Food advertisements on TV
often utilize the priming effect to (1) “automatic” choices of food. Take GMO food, for
example. (2) its benefits have been promoted by experts, the media often show a negative
attitude toward it. After being (3) information provided by the media, shoppers tend to
choose food products that do not contain GMO ingredients. In this case, they have (4) by the
priming effect. On the other hand, when an advertisement shows scenes of fun, happiness, and
excitement while people are having a(n) (5) kind of food, it creates a positive result. Both
children and adults are more likely (6) the food because they expect a good dining experience.
Though almost all food can be promoted with the priming effect, research indicates the priming
effect is especially strong (7) healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables. You may find it
(8) that priming can be more powerful than a brand name food product. An experiment shows
that even well-educated people with lower hunger levels are (9) by it. Do you still believe
you are (10) your food choices? You should always stay alert.

The 3D-printing revolution is changing people’s lives in many ways. Believe it (1) , that
includes the food we eat. Some of the world’s (2) restaurants have started to use 3D-printed
ingredients in the meals they serve. In Spain, one famous chef says that 3D printing has increased
his (3) because of the new resources available to him. He uses them to (4) dishes
(4) that would be impossible any other way. And according to recent reports, even fast-food
chains like McDonald’s are (5) to have 3D-printed food products on their menus. Maybe

square (4) a pile of stones gathered in advance. Some men had done the preparation work the
night before to make sure the mysterious ritual could be done successfully. The lottery would begin
in a few minutes. Men in worn jeans and shirts were talking to each other in low voices and
women in faded house dresses and sweaters were (5) about their neighbors. Their facial

These days, 3D printing technology is applied in many fields. Its ability (1) our lives
easier. For example, in the Netherlands a local (2) company worked with the Eindhoven
University of Technology to develop a method of building 3D-printed houses. Equipped with a
large (3) arm that squirts out a special cement, the 3D printer can produce strong walls. This
technique is not only (4) but also environmentally friendly.
Besides a 3D-printed house, can you imagine (5) a 3D-printed car? In fact, it has been
happening. A few years ago, Local Motors, an American car maker, (6) 44 hours to print car
parts. Three days later, it finished (7) together all the parts and made the first 3D-printed car.
Moreover, the production time is expected to be (8) shorter soon. (9) , vehicles made
with 3D-printing technique are stronger and lighter.
Recently, some restaurants have begun (10) 3D-printed steaks and serving them.
Perhaps we will be able to print almost everything around us in the future.

We might think we always control what we do. (1) , we can, but many situations may

Minimalism has been around for a long time. Before, we just referred to it (1) having a
simple way of living. Recently, (2) , many articles, books, and websites have been promoting
the advantages of a simple way of life. They talk about “decluttering,” which means buying fewer
things and throwing away a big part of the junk that (3) the living space of so many people.
According to this movement, a minimalist is more than just someone who has few possessions and
lives in a (4) decorated room. It is said that adopting this attitude can make life (5)

Collective resilience is useful. Shared stories are how we justify our past and how we (1)
the future. Moreover, communities created by shared narratives are (2) for fighting injustice
and creating social change. A few years ago, LeanIn.Org was established. (3) it aims to

join, (4) a platform for people to support and inspire each other. (5) is in these circles
10
 that topics too often unspoken, like sexual harassment, date rape, and homophobia, are discussed.
Collective resilience (6) with grounded hope can turn us into powerful human beings.
Grounded hope is the understanding that if you take action, you can make things better. This kind
of hope is not held by individual people; (7) , it can be nurtured by people together, like
resilience. After the shooting in Charleston took place, rather than being consumed by (8) ,
the community came together to stand against racism and violence. People (9) evil by being

and shared hope are your (10) . They are the ways you can find strength in yourselves and
build strength in the people around you.

Lonely Gourmet starring Matsushige Yutaka, an experienced and (1) actor, confessed that he is
very particular about eating. “When I was filming, I ate all kinds of dishes and felt very satisfied.”
The Lonely Gourmet is not so much a series as it is a documentary. The actor said that he was
always in a state of extreme hunger before filming, for he always fasted from the night before
filming until the late afternoon on the filming day. Because he would be hungry for so long before
filming, he could easily communicate the (2) deliciousness through his facial expressions.

Some people say that Alfredo Moser created a miracle. In 2002, like many Brazilians, he was
troubled by the (1) blackouts in his town. One day, he found that the sun’s rays on a bottle of
water made a (2) on the wall. It occurred (3) him that there was a way to bring light

19
 into his house. Based on this idea, Alfredo did an experiment.
He used a plastic bottle (4) with water and a little bleach. The bleach was able to keep
the bottle (5) by stopping algae forming in the water. Then he put the bottle into a hole that
he made in a roof. (6) he had expected, the bottle refracted sunlight from outside. It filled
his room with the same amount of light that a 50-watt (7) makes. Finally, Alfredo
successfully (8) a bottle lamp. It lit (9) not only his own house but thousands of others.
He has proved that not every great modern invention is dependent (10) high-tech design skills.
Sometimes the simplest idea can change people’s lives.

Here is a strange fact. It is hard to believe that people with albinism are at risk of (1)
killed and abducted in Malawi, Africa. Many Malawians hold the belief (2) the body parts of
Albinos are magical and can bring great wealth if they can consume (3) . This (4) idea
is common among the Malawians. Albinism is a condition (5) a person has white skin and
hair and pink eyes. It is a kind of problem (6) genetic mutation. One in twenty thousand
people (7) born with this mutation. Except for their appearance, they are usually normal in
every way. Albinos have the right to live without fear. The Malawian government (8) the
problem seriously since 2018 under the pressure of an international organization called Write for
Rights. Many people wrote letters to (9) against the bad practice of attacking albinos. The
Malawian government made new laws to help the police stop this practice. People’s commitment
does (10) a difference.

Italian 3D-printing technology developer WASP has built a sustainable（可持續的）3D-
printed house made with soil and agricultural waste. Called Gaia, it was (1) on site in Massa
Lombardo, a town in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, in October 2018. Most of the building
materials are from natural (2) . First of all, the house was printed using a mud mixture (3)
from soil taken from the surrounding area. (4) ’s more, it contained waste materials from rice
production, such as chopped straw and rice husks. These (5) the final product biodegradable
（可生物分解的）. That is, if the house isn’t maintained, it will turn back into soil.
The mixture is layered and (6) together using a 3D-printer which is hung from a crane（
起重機）, creating walls with vertical cavities（凹洞）filled with rice husks for insulation（絕緣
）. The company claims this method of insulating keeps the temperature inside the house (7)
more comfortable, so heaters are not needed even during the winter. An outer cavity in the wall
structure is kept empty for natural ventilation（通風）in the structure and allows for an energy
supply to be embedded（嵌入）within the walls of the house. Rice husks were also used to create
a plaster for covering the structure’s internal walls and as a layer of insulation on top of its roof. It
just (8) ten days to complete the construction. The whole process required less than a
thousand pounds of the mud mixture, so it is (9) as well.
In terms of energy, Gaia, the house built with this (10) method is high-performing.
Also, it has almost no impact on the environment.

As modern society pays more and more attention to psychological issues, psychological
qualities have become an interesting topic in various (1) . A stereotype is that people with
good psychological qualities are not afraid to speak in front of others, and are calm and collected
when encountering emergencies. In fact, psychological qualities are more complex than we think.
It is believed that psychological qualities are an important part of a one’s personality. These
qualities are stable, developed on the basis of innate qualities, but influenced by a number of factors,
one’s education and living environment (2) . Undoubtedly, positive surroundings (3)
people (3) . Psychological qualities include, (4) , not only emotional stability but also

21
one’s cognitive processes and personality. In terms of cognition, some have better memories, are
more active thinkers, richer in imagination or more (5) than others. (6) , speaking of
emotions, some people are emotionally more stable and calmer. As more knowledge about mental
qualities is (7) , people can’t stop asking how to cultivate better psychological qualities.
People are curious about how we can develop (8) psychological qualities through
everyday practice. First, we have to know ourselves. Through sharing secrets with friends and
receiving feedback from others, we can have a more comprehensive and objective understanding of
ourselves. Second, it is a must that we accept everything about ourselves. It is necessary to
accept both the good and the bad, the strengths and the flaws. (9) we consider our
shortcomings unchangeable, we have to take them as part of ourselves. It is by identifying and
accepting ourselves (10) we can be full of confidence and enthusiasm for life. Try to practice
both methods. Hopefully, better psychological qualities can be shaped over time.
