10．Christopher Reeve （41）wasborn in September，1952．He was in his first school play（42）whenhe was eight and he started to act in TV shows and films while he was still in college．He made many （43）successful （success） films and TV shows but he is most famous（44）for his Superman films．（45）Unluckily （lucky），disaster came in 1995when he fell from his horse and （46）broke （break） his back．The doctors did not expect him to live．（47）However，he made（48）amazing （amaze） progress．At first，he couldn't breathe without a machine，but he learnt to breathe on（49）his own．He would never walk again but he started（50）anew life with great courage．

7．It isridiculous（荒谬可笑的）to think like that，after all，you are already a grown-up．

6．This is a true story．Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie Black Hawk Down very much，which is about the conflict in Somalia．The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying，interested him greatly．
There was just one problem：Tristin was only 9years old，and it was thought that movie was not for children．When his parents caught him watching it on TV，they made him turn it off，though he had finished his homework and it was not late．Then one day，Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa，Arizona．Tristin's 20-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool．Realizing the little girl was missing，the family ran outside，only to find the girl had fallen into the water．
Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground，the child wasn't breathing．The family called the ambulance （救护车），but no one knew how to do first aid．No one，that is，except for Tristin．A scene in Black Hawk Down describes a doctor giving first aid．Tristin remembered it．Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life．
His parents don't stop him seeing the movies he likes any more．Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sister's life．Any skill can be used in time，so you should always learn．

5．Hello!My name is Lisa，and I am a lioness．I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family．Lions living in a group are called a pride．
My father is strong and powerful．He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride．The other members are my mother，her sisters，and their children．
The area where a pride lives is big!We roar （咆哮） to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away．
Meet my new baby brother．His name is Leon．See the spots on his fur？We lions are born spotted or striped （有条纹的）．As we grow older，the spots gradually disappear．
Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride，but Leon will leave when he is about three years old．He'll run around with a male （雄性的） friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own．
But for now，we have lots of fun together．We often play and fight for hours，which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting．
We lions keep ourselves very clean．Just like a house cat，I clean my fur （毛） with my tongue．We clean for each other，too，to show we're friends．
Lions like to sleep for most of the day．We hunt in the cool evening．Female （雌性的） lions hunt more often than male lions．We work together as a team．At the right moment，we attack and kill our prey．Then we share it．Male lions usually eat first．Females eat next．Baby lions are the last to eat．The smallest one gets the least food．
Since we are full，it's time to go to find a nice place for a sleep．Bye!

4．The fact that people are no longer tied to specific places for functions such as studying or learning，says William Mitchell，a professor of architecture and computer science at MIT，means that there is"a huge drop in demand for traditional，（51）C，enclosed spaces"such as offices or classrooms，and simultaneously"a huge rise in demand for semi-public spaces that can be informally appropriated to ad-hoc workspaces"．This shift，he thinks，amounts to the biggest change in （52）Bin this century．In the 20th century architecture was about （53）Astructures-offices for working，cafeterias for eating，and so forth．This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones，fax machines and filing cabinets．
The new architecture，says Mr Mitchell，will"make spaces intentionally（54）C"．Architects are thinking about light，air，trees and gardens，all in the service of human connections．Buildings will have much more varied shapes than before（55）B，people working on laptops find it comforting to have their backs to a wall，so hybrid（混合的） spaces may become curvier，with more nooks（角落），in order to （56）Cthe surface area of their inner walls．
"This（57）Dis what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones，"says Anthony Townsend，an urban planner at the Institute for the Future，a think-tank．Almost any public space can assume some of these features．For example，a not-for-profit organization in New York has（58）BBryant Park，a once abandoned but charming garden in front of the city's public library，into a hybrid space popular with office workers．The park's managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park，so they （59）AWi-Fi and added some chairs with foldable lecture desks．The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them customize their little bit of the park．
The academic name for such spaces is"third places"，a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book，"The Great，Good Place"．At the time，long before mobile technologies became widespread，Mr Oldenburg wanted to （60）Dbetween the sociological functions of people's first places （their homes），their second places （offices） and the public spaces that（61）Asafe，neutral and informal meeting points．As Mr Oldenburg saw it，a good third place makes admission free or cheap-the price of a cup of coffee，say-offers creature comforts，is within walking distance for a particular neighborhood and （62）Da group of regulars．
As more（63）Dplaces pop up and spread，they also change entire cities．Just as buildings during the 20th century were specialized by（64）A，towns were as well，says Mr Mitchell．Suburbs were for living，downtowns for （65）Band other areas for playing．But urban nomadism makes districts，like buildings，multifunctional．Parts of town that were monocultures，he says，gradually become"fine-grained mixed-use neighborhoods"．
