The Berklee College of Music is a famous music school in Boston US. It is a dream school for many musicians.
Chinese singer Wang Yuan will start studying there soon. The 18-year-old member of boy band TFBoys has been admitted to the college. Wang recently announced the news on a reality show.
Although Wang has already had many jobs in show business, such as acting and hosting, he said his favorite thing to do is play music. Wang not only sings, but also writes his own songs. He has helped to write 10 songs since he started to learn songwriting at 14.
Wang said he was quite determined when he decided to apply to the Berklee College of Music. He didn't apply to any other schools.
Instead of asking for help from college admissions agencies（机构）, Wang completed the application process on his own. He dealt with all the English-language paperwork by himself. Sometimes, he had to use translation software to translate the documents he needed to submit（提交）.

Since he was busy with work, he was the last applicant from Beijing to finish the audition and interview process. "I was nervous, actually. If I failed, I wouldn't have any other choices," he said.

请阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填上适当的単词(注意:每空1个单词)。
Global warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the best things we can do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air and stop global warming.
According to a new report, China is doing a great job of "greening" the world.
A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth's green vegetation（植被）. They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s. And China was responsible for 25 percent of that gain, according to the study. That's about one-quarter of the size of the entire Amazon rainforest.
The growth mainly came from China's forest protection programs, NASA said. For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a desert. But now, China has turned the area into the country's largest man-made forest.
The Chinese public has also joined in these efforts. Ant Forest in the Alipay app gives users points for doing eco-friendly(环保的) things such as walking and going paperless in the office. Users can then use these points to water and grow their own virtual trees. When the virtual trees are big enough, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in the world. More than 55 million trees have been planted in this way.
