Passage 18
Eagle has the longest life-span of its' species. Eagle can ___21__ 70 years, but to reach
this age, the eagle must make a hard decision.
In its 40's, its long and flexible talons (爪) can no longer grab prey (掠食) which serve as food, its' long and sharp beak (鸟嘴, 喙) becomes bent. Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest and make it ___22__to fly. Then Eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days for survival.
The process requires that eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest. There the Eagle knocks its' beak ___23__a rock until it plucks (拔去) it out. After plucking it out, Eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back. When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers and after five months, eagle can take its' flight of rebirth and lives for thirty ___24__ years.
Many times, in order to survive, we have to start a change process. We sometimes need to ___25__old memories, habits and other past traditions. Only freed from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present.
鹰是世界上寿命最长的鸟类，一生的年龄可达70岁。要活这么长的寿命，在其生命的中期必须做出艰难却重要的决定。
因为鹰活到40岁的时候，它的长而灵活爪子开始老化，无法有效地抓住猎物；它的长而尖喙变弯，翅膀也越加沉重，由于厚重的老羽毛，翅膀和胸粘在一起，使得飞翔十分吃力。这时，它只有两种选择：一是等待死亡；二是经历150天痛苦的重整后再生。
选择重整后再生的鹰，要经过一个痛苦更新的过程。它首先要努力地飞到山顶，在悬崖筑巢，这段时间，要用力将又长又弯的喙击打岩石，直到完全脱落，然后等候新的喙长出来；再用长出的新喙将老羽毛一片一片地拔掉。五个月后，待新的羽毛长出后，鹰得以重生，又可以翱翔于广阔的天空，继续后30年的生命旅程。
许多次，为了生存，我们必须开始经历变化。有时，我们需要遗弃旧的记忆，习惯和一些老惯例。只有从过去烦恼的尘埃中解脱，我们才能更好地把握现在。

Passage 19
It?s very interesting to study names of different countries. Chinese names are different ___21___foreign names. Once an English lady came to visit me. When I was introduced to her, she said, “Glad to meet you, Miss Ping.” Then she gave me her name card with three words on it: “Betty J.Black”. So I said, “Thank you, Miss Betty.” We looked at each other and laughed heartily. Later I found that the English people __22___ their family names last and the given names first, while their middles are not used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese family name comes first, the given names last, so she ___23__ never call me Miss Ping. She asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didn?t. But people may often find three words on a Chinese name card. In this case the family name still comes first and the other words after it
___24___ a two－word given name. It is quite usual in China. My sister is Li Xiaofang. She has two words in her given name instead ___25___ just one like mine．
学习不同的国家的取名是一件很有趣的事。中国人的取名不同于外国人的取名。曾经，有一个英国女士来访问我。我做完自我介绍后，她打招呼道：“萍小姐，很高兴见到你。”然后她给我她的名片，上面写着“Betty J.Black”。因此我回道：“谢谢，贝帝小姐。”我们看着彼此，不禁笑起来。之后，我发现了原来英国人的姓在名之后，而中间的名字并不常用。我向她解释道，中国人的名字姓在前，名在后，所以她不应该叫我萍小姐。她问我们中国人是否有中间名。我告诉她我们没有。但是人们通常会发现在中国人的名片上有时候会出现三个字。在这种情况下，姓放在首位，把具有两个汉字的名跟在后面。这在中国是很常见的。我的姐姐叫李晓芳。她姓李名晓芳，名有两个汉字，而不像我的只有一个。

Passage 20
The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge 21 is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other 22 . And we can't even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, 23 is constantly being replaced by rainfall; is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly－almost day by day. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our 24 water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this 25 , but only on a small scale. The systems that have been worked out resemble those used in spacecraft.
世界不仅仅饥饿，还很渴。你可能觉得这很奇怪，因为近75%的地球表面都覆盖着水。但是96%的水都是海水或咸水。人们只能饮用和使用其他3%的来自河湖、地下与其他来源的淡水。我们甚至连这些也不能都利用，因为有的存在于冰山和冰川里。更糟糕的是，一些水还被污染了。但是，正如今天的情况一样，这些少量的淡水，在不停地由降雨循环，现在还够我们使用。但我们对水的需求在增加，几乎是每天都在增加。我们都必须学会如何不浪费宝贵的水。我们可做的第一步中，开发重复利用水的技术是一项。这一领域，已做了很多实验，但只是小规模的。开发的系统很像飞行器上的用的那种。

Passage 21
One of the latest imports is acupuncture(针刺疗法), the use of needles for __21__ disease.
Although acupuncture has been practiced in China for 2000 years, its __22__ in the Western world is still very __23__. Several hospitals in the United States are now experimenting with acupuncture as a way of treating pains.
An American journalist described the process __24__ its effects. To keep the patient __25__ feeling pain during the operation, four needles were used, each about an inch and a half long. The tops of the needles were attached to wires which led to a small electrical device.
