The top Chinese scientist Yuan Longping，famous for his "Super Rice"，died of illness at the age of 91（1） May 22th，2021.
Yuan Longping（2） （be）born in Beijing in 1930.For almost 60 years，he had given most of his time and energy to rice research.So far，the hybrid rice（杂交水稻）he developed（3） （pull）millions of people out of hunger all over the world.His achievements were so great（4） he was called "The Father of Hybrid Rice" and won World Food Prize.
During his lifetime，Yuan Longping spent（5） （much）time in the farm field than in his office.He was often seen watching plants（6） （close）and thinking of ways to improve them，just as many Chinese（7） （farmer）do.
Yuan once said he had（8） dream-to "enjoy the cool under the rice plants taller than men".（9） a pity it is that he can't continue his dream now!But surely，people believe，his dream（10） （come）true in the near future.
In the past，my old grandmother didn't enjoy talking on the phone.Actually，she hated it so she was always refusing （1） （use）it.She told us that she preferred speaking to people in person.It always（2） （make）her sad that she couldn't see the person she was talking to.The other day，we chatted with my grandmother， （3） mentioned video calling over the Internet.It （4） （invent）for people to see each other while talking online.Then we came up with（5） idea.We bought her a laptop（笔记本电脑）.One of my （6） （cousin）went over to her house and taught her how to use it.（7） （lucky），she was a quick learner.
Now，she enjoys （8） （her）when talking with us every day.She is happy and you can tell from the expression（9） her face.She says it's also very convenient.She can put it anywhere in the house（10） it is small and doesn't take up much room.Sometimes she even talks to us while she's in the kitchen cooking!
Your dog is barking，but you can't hear it!Your best friend is telling you（1） joke，but you can't catch it!（2） terrible!The people who have hearing loss（3） （consider）deaf.
It's not easy being deaf，and although some kids are born deaf，many others lose their hearing later on.So it's important to know how（4） （be）a good friend with anyone in the Deaf community.Here are some ways.
Be patient and do not give up on a friend（5） hearing loss.If you repeat what you are saying（6） （loud），and it isn't helping your Deaf friend，try to write it down or use signals instead.
Also，remember that deafness isn't the same as being stupid.Deaf kids are just as smart as anyone else.Don't treat your Deaf friends like they are not very smart.（7） they can't hear you，there's nothing wrong with their brain.
Don't forget about texts，（8） （email），and so on.These are much（9） （good）ways to keep in touch with your Deaf friend than phone calls.If the two of you can sign，a video call is great !
It's fun to communicate with others.We should support all of（10） （we）friends，and make new ones!
Things Spotter
If you often lose things，you'll be happy with a new（1） （发明）called Things Spotter.It'll look like a small key tag that can be put on your objects.The tag will（2） （连接）to your mobile phone through BlueTooth technology.When you find something missing，don't（3） （担心）!Just press a button on your mobile phone and a map on your screen will tell you where to look.
Fire Recharger
It's really fun to（4） （扎营）in the wild!But what can you do if the batteries（电池）on your mobile phone are empty？Some（5） （工程师）are working on a Fire Recharger.It（6） （生产）electricity from the heat of fire.This means you can use a small fire to charge（充电）your mobile phone.It is very useful and will be（7） （广泛地）used in the future.
DigGoggles
Those lively underwater photos are so beautiful，but not easy to take.Besides，underwater cameras are not（8） （便宜的）enough.But soon you will have the（9） （机会）to buy a pair of DigGoggles.That's the name of a（10） （特殊的）diving mask that can take photos.Open and close your eyes twice and your camera will go 'click'!
