完形填空
My birthday was a few days ago. Now I’m 24 years old and I’m 1 with teaching. I didn’t remember my birthday until the morning of the 1st. It was just like an ordinary day, no presents, no party, no cake... When I was 2 , I always felt sad that almost nobody remembered my birthday, not even my family. But now I don’t 3 any more, especially this year, from my birthday to next day, not much 4 . This month I have several foreign students 5 Chinese with me. I give lessons privately, so I need to do quite a lot of work before each lesson. So far I’m getting more 6 in teaching foreigners Chinese, and I think it’s a very cool job. When I was at 7 , I wanted to follow these native English speakers. They can 8 to foreign countries and get teaching jobs easily almost anywhere even though they’re not real teachers. I complained Chinese people didn’t have as many chances as people from the West. But now things are 9 . As China is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more 10 and maybe in the future I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries. I’ll study more and get ready.

What are the limits(极限) of human body? The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.
How cold can you stand?
Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you’re unable to write your name. Even walking is very difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form(形成) opinions properly. By the time you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating.
Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues(纤维组织), killing all the cells.
How spicy can you eat?
There is capsaicin(辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you’re healthy enough, you can survive(存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat anything else for a few hours.
Limit: 5g capsaicin.
How fast can you run?
The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This gives an average(平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h.
Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner’s greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h.
Limit: 43.06km/h.
How loud is too loud?
The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB(分贝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa(卡拉卡托火山爆发) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km away.
Limit: 168 dB
