Exercise OneWhile 1(live)and working in Karlstad University in Sweden, I was entrusted the challenging assignment of Cat sitting three 10-year old for two weeks. At first, I was a bit perturbed.

The first day allthree, Mercedes, Mio and Casper, seemed to be suspicious of me. I fed them,4(dispose) of their litter and got to work. Soon, however, they began to look forward to my returning, and would mew happiness hearing the key turn in the door-lock.As our familiarity grew, I began to playfully bid goodnight to the cats, sometimes adding aloud in Swedish that I had to wake up at 7:00 a.m. I forgot 5(set) the alarm on mostnights, but faced no problems, because at exactly 7:00 a.m.一no exaggerations here-I would hear the sounds of gentle mewing and scratching outside my bedroom door.Then, there was one evening, when I felt a bit under the weather. Sitting on the sofa, 6(mental) worn out and physically exhausted, I stared blankly into space, when a gentle tapping landed on my cheek. I found Casper standing on the soft's armrest peering into my eyes. He seemed to 7 (ask) me to cheer up, switch off for the evening and look forward to a better tomorrow.On the evenings of the last few days, all three cats began to rush _8 and sit close to meon the sofa and snooze (打盹)against my feet or on my lap. They knew perhaps that our time together was nearing its end and that they would not see me again. They all came over to the door, when I left the next morning with my things _9(pack).

A recent study shows that a new program combining on-the- ground monitoring _3 satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes onAmazon deforestation (毁林)一and potentially _4 of forests elsewhere.The scientists cooperated with 76 local communities, 36 of 5_participated in usingsatellite-based “early deforestation alerts”, an early-alert system on a smartphone app, to watch over the forest and to inspect forests and document damage. Over the next two years the participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest 6(loss). Monitors investigated alerts and inspected fordeforestation in the areas. They reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the affairs 7 their own or inform state authorities.The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the program reduced forest loss _8 8.4 hectares (公顷)in thefirst year-a 52 percent reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities, says Tara Slough,9 economist at New York University. "This reduction in deforestationwas concentrated in communities facing the largest threat of forest loss99, she adds.Results for the program were less striking in its second year, when forest loss was reduced by only 3.3 hectares compared with that in control communities. The researchers explain that a Peruvian government campaign against coca planting that year may have_10(courage) deforestation in both experimental and control communities, narrowing differences between the two groups in the program.1. to preserve 2. more urgent 3.with 4.that 5.which6. losses 7.on 8.by 9,an 10.

But do we actually have to 3_(start) every relationship we once had? It mightbe time to take stock and think about who you kept in touch with, who you missed talking to, and who you didn't In short, maybe it's time to reset your list of real mates.There's no obligation to stay friends. Bryan Lufkin says, “While people have known 4 years that friendships are unquestionably good fbr your health, experts say it's only naturalfor acquaintances and even friends to fall by the wayside as time goes on.Of course, it can be hard to choose who's in your friendship circle. This is what Suzanne Degges-White, professor of counselling at Northern Illinois University, calls our "什iendscape”. She says. "In life, as we go 5 certain stages and ages, our attention shifts, and we want tobe around people who _6 like us.”So, changing friends is normal, but we still need those special pals 7_ have known uslong term. These are friendships we invest time in. These are your inner circle of friends一your "shoulders to cry on一and you have to see them at _8(little) once a week to keep them in that circle.

However, Isabelle is now able to access herschoolwork online, all thanks 3 a fidget mouse (减压鼠标)：the Hoglet - a multisensory device that resembles toy. "She's never been able to use a mouse before, and it wasn't for lack of trying, but it was just not the appropriate tool,“ said her mother, Julia Dapkus, 41, of Michigan.4 virtual learning has become a common option for families during the COVID-19pandemic, online schooling has also become a struggle for students with developmental disabilities.The Hoglet - which takes its name from its resemblance to a baby hedgehog (刺猬)-is specially 5( design) with elements from a fidget toy to increase focus for those withdevelopmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (自 |羽症).The Hoglet is wireless and minimizes 6( clicking) sounds as to not annoy those with autism spectrum disorder.Parker Lynch, creator of the Hoglet and CEO of Hedgehog Health, met Dapkus at 7fundraiser, and he eventually asked her and her daughter to test the mouse 8. Children whouse a fidget device have an increase in concentration, are not as restless and are more likely to complete tasks in treatment and education, according to a study. The Flushing Hospital Medical Center in New York, which performed the study, found that fidget toys can be academically beneficial for students, including those with learning disabilities.Because of research of his own that saw similar results, Lynch decided to create a tool similar to fidget toys 9 could provide the same functionality. After five years of research andtesting, Lynch founded Hedgehog Health and released the company's first product, the Hoglet.Lynch is now working on a_10(remove) and washable cover for the Hoglet as well as another mouse that will stimulate all five senses.1. with 2.who 3.to 4.As 5. designed6.clicking 7.a 8.out 9.that 10. removabl
