On August 21,I was working on my homework, a composition titling “My Hero/Heroine”. I stuck at the very beginning, trying to figure out what would be my hero/heroine.
Attracted by the cheers from the living room, I opened the door only to find my parents were watching the volleyball matches of women's final. Then I decided to take the break and joined in them. The sense of nervousness was overwhelming as the score was quite closely between China and its opponent.
To our delight, China won in the end. We couldn't help feel proud as Chinese! The volleyball players had trained so hard before and fight till the last minute. Without doubt, they were not only my heroines, and the heroines of China! I started to write my composition.
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many people take the idea of saving money very seriously. Back in 1924, in Italy, a group of people 1. (think) the inability to resist spending a major social problem. They had the idea of starting a day to remind people to put away some money for a rainy day. This is how World Saving Day, held on Oct. 31st 2.(annual), was started, and it's still going strong in 2019.
Not surprisingly, a movement 3.(target) the poor was started. People in the underdeveloped world are more open 4. calls to be careful with money. But 5. idea of being thrifty (节俭) has also become popular among the rich. Take Mark Zuckerberg for example. The Facebook founder, one of the world's 6.(rich) people, doesn't spend very much money on himself.
Other people don't spend money because they don't like the culture of 7.(consume). This is connected to the view 8. we should make ourselves happy through the activities we take part in, rather than with what we buy.
But however we view money, moderate spending is certainly a good idea when we are still too young to get a job. There is a British saying that 9.(offer) some good advice in this situation: “Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after 10.(they).”

Benefits of Deep Cleaning Your Home
The researchers have discovered an average of 7,000 different types of bacteria per household.
One study shows the dirtiest objects in the home found over 340 different bacteria on 30 different objects. So what actually are the benefits of deep cleaning? Let’s find out!
1.Dust can cause sore eyes, coughing, hay fever (花粉病) and asthma (哮喘) attacks.2.For instance, dust can be found behind cabinets, on top of doors, windows and so on. Deep cleaning involves cleaning those places to wipe out the dust particles around them. With the absence of dust particles in the air, it will help improve the air quality in your home significantly.
Remove harmful bacteria and viruses.3.Some bacteria divide every 20 minutes with the right temperature and nutrients. Places like the kitchen, living room, and especially toilets contain the most bacteria and viruses. Quick wipe downs are quick and convenient but it’s ineffective, only a deep clean can eliminate the majority of bacteria and viruses laying around.
Reduce stress. People might find it odd how deep cleaning can actually reduce stress levels in the house. It may not be obvious but when conducting deep cleaning, you will be moving, rearranging and organizing household items. 4.You may even need a helping hand with getting rid of the large amount of clutter (杂乱物) around the house.
So, by deep cleaning your house every so often, you can get rid of clutter and the trouble of misplacing items around the house.5.
A.Separate dust particles.
B.Better indoor air quality.
C.Dirty homes are shelters for bacteria and viruses.
D.Dirty and messy homes are linked to many illnesses and infections.
E.There are more dust particles lying around your home than you know.
F.You will meet useless items by accident laying around for who knows how long.
G.You will even be awarded extra living space from removing all that dust-collecting items.
“Jewel wings fly around like little helicopters until they see preys (猎物), usually smaller flying insects,” said Bellido, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. “Then they dash at their meals in a burst of speed.”
You might mistake jewel wings for their cousins, dragonflies. New research shows that these two insects share something more significant than their appearance, however. In a paper published in Current Biology, Dr. Bellido and the dragonfly colleagues reveal that the neural (神经的) systems behind jewel wings’ vision are shared with dragonflies, with whom they have a common ancestor that lived before dinosaurs. But over the centuries, this brain wiring has adapted itself in different ways in each creature, enabling sharply different hunting strategies.
Jewel wings’ behavior involves attacking what’s directly in front of them, the team found. But recordings made in the lab by Dr. Gonzalez and her colleagues confirmed that dragonflies rise up in a straight line to seize unsuspecting insects from below. Researchers are particularly interested in the neurons (神经元) that send visual information to the wings.
To look closer at the neurons linking vision and flight, the researchers equipped jewel wings with sensors and showed them a video of a moving dot, comparing it with earlier dragonfly research. When a neuron fired, a popping sound filled the researchers’ ears, allowing them to tell exactly which movements-left, right, up, down or some combination-each neuron responded to. Jewel wings best see what’s right in front of them, they found, while dragonflies’ clearest vision is just above them.
The team was interested to find that while jewel wings’ neurons didn’t always respond like those in dragonflies, the number of neurons and organization were similar. That suggests that the system that conveys this information from the eyes to the wing muscles did not evolve recently, but has roots that are millions of years older than the oldest dinosaurs. And that ancient common ancestor likely had already developed remarkable speed in both vision and flight. Then, in the following years, the system has evolved to suit individual insect species.
This shared neural system may be more than 250 million years old, but it is also flexible enough to transform itself to meet the needs of a variety of creatures in different eras and environments, the findings suggest.
