Only three local students won Chinese Blog Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions－such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre－to food blogs.
The entries were judged on Language proficiency（熟练程度）and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics(学者) from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.
In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
“No surprise, ” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language. ”
One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts
Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible
“Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”
【小题1】The competition was organized by ___________.

Many people watched the lift-off of the space shuttle Columbia on March 21, 1982. But none watched more closely than eighteen-year-old Ted, as Ted’s insects were on board the shuttle.

The Shuttle Student Involvement Program invited students to make a science experiment. The experiment would be done by astronauts on the space shuttle.

Ted had always been interested in space and flight. Insect flight especially interested him. Ted noticed that insects need gravity to take off and land. They need gravity to fly in a straight line. But in space, there is no gravity. Could insects fly in zero gravity? That is what Ted wanted to find out.

Ted made an experiment called “Insect in Flight Motion Study”. He entered his experiment and soon news came that it was a winner.

A large team of scientists and engineers helped Ted get his experiment ready to fly. There were many questions to be answered first. What kind of insects would Ted use in his experiment? The insects would have to be strong enough to live on the shuttle for nine days without much food. What kind of container would hold the insects? Would the insects die during the shuttle flight?

After months of hard work, the “insectronauts” were chosen. A group of moths, flies, and honeybees were put into a special box and put onto the space shuttle. When Columbia flew into space, it was carrying insect passengers.

On March 24, astronauts Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma took out the box that held the insects. They began filming the insects with a special video camera.

When the space shuttle landed Ted was able to watch the video film of insects. Just as he thought, most of the insects did have trouble flying in zero gravity. The flies did well. But the moths’ flight seemed “uncontrolled”. They would often just hang in the air. The bees had the most trouble. They couldn’t fly at all! The film showed bees spinning around in all directions. Others were just floating about in the box.

Ted learned the answer to his question about insects’ flight in zero gravity. But he also learned a lot more. He learned about the hard work needed in making a successful experiment.

D．By watching the video film made by the astronauts.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It's like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 【小题1】 .
Once I heard a bald(秃头的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room,  【小题2】  I see is hair." Once you've   【小题3】 what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will   【小题4】  make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different  【小题5】  , or forget about it and  【小题6】  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively  【小题7】  life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but  【小题8】  remain happy.
The first  【小题9】  is gratitude. All happy people are  【小题10】 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to  【小题11】  , but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret, is 【小题12】 that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 【小题13】 are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 【小题14】 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are  【小题15】 to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our  【小题16】  has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We   【小题17】 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy, it should 【小题18】  this truth: if you choose to find the 【小题19】 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is  【小题20】   your decision to make.

Did you ever wonder how some of your favorite foods, products or toys came about? Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention. Below, we found three mistakes we’re thankful for turned out to be what they are.
1. Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they
discovered how to make gunpowder. Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt. When put tightly in a bamboo tube and lit, it blew up.
2. In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist（药剂师）, to rewrite the formula(配方) for "Pemberton’s French Wine Coca,” his popular headache treatment. Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated water. His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two C’s would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world –wide drink came into being.
3. During World War II, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron—an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven(微波炉). While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels, and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook. In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.   
【小题1】The right time order of the three inventions, according to the passage, should be_________.

Of the three statements he has suggested __ the heating problem, I think the last one is the best.

A. solving????????????? B. to solve????????????? C. to solving????????????? D. solve
