There once was a king who wanted to find the answers to what he considered the three most important questions in life. The three questions are : when is the right time for every action, who are the most important people , and what is the most important thing to do? The king consulted learned men, promising he would richly reward anyone who could answer the questions, but their answers didn’t satisfy him. In the end, he decided to visit a wise hermit who lived in the woods. The hermit would speak only with common people, so the king put on simple clothes.

When he got close to the hermit’s hut, he ordered his bodyguards to wait behind. He approached the place and found the hermit digging. He asked the wise man his three questions, but the hermit didn’t respond. Seeing how old and weak the hermit was, the king began helping him dig. The king dug for hours, but the hermit never answered his questions. Just as the king was about to leave, a wounded man came running to the hut and fainted before them. Then the king carried the wounded man to Hermit’s hut and took care of him. The king was exhausted and fell asleep as well. When he awoke, he talked with the man, who said that he had wanted to kill the king but was wounded by his bodyguards. He asked for forgiveness and promised to serve the king faithfully.

Afterwards, the king went outside and repeated his questions to the hermit once more. The hermit replied, “If you had not helped me dig earlier, you would have left and been killed by the man. So, the most important man back then was me, and the most important time was when you were digging. The most important thing to do was to be kind to me. When the wounded man arrived, he was the most important person, and saving him was the most important thing. By doing so, you made peace with an enemy.”

The king finally had his three answers. The most important time is the present, as it’s the only time we have the power to act. The most important person is the one you are with, and the most important thing is always to 92

Have you ever tried playing the kind of video games that your parents played? The Museum of Science in Manchester, in the UK, has held an exhibition for the last few years, which invites visitors to do _______ that. It offers them the chance to play games from the last 40 years, in various sessions throughout the day.

These video game sessions have now become one of the main attractions of the museum. They are full of people every day, playing a wide range of games. However, visitors often choose the ones they’re _______. For parents, for example, these are usually the games they used to play in their childhood.

There’s also a(n)_______ purpose to the games. For instance, some old types of computer, dating back 40 years, are also available in the sessions. They were originally used in classrooms to teach pupils to write their won computer programs. And at the time, it helped lots of young people to do that. Now, the museum is holding workshops that encourage children to learn similar skills -- and they’re still very popular.

The exhibition also shows how much_______technology has made over the last 40 years. Parents can often remember playing very simple games. But the games that are played today are more complex. They have better story-lines and animation, too. And the players also have to use much more complicated techniques.

_________, one serious side of the exhibition is that organisers also want to show that video gaming is an important industry, employing many skilled people. So they hope the exhibition will _______ this message. That way, people who enjoy gaming will also understand all the hard work, talent, imagination that goes into creating these amazing games.

A rare experience

Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s【1】 a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t necessarily m 【2】 . He or she might be a “super - recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.

Whatever the differences in looks

It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a【3】 , but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.

An inborn skill

Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o 【4】 .Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment -- and this is not an ability that we can d【5】 , it’s something we are born with.

A great h 【6】

The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o【7】people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.

Dogs are known to help humans to protect farm animals, find illegal drugs, and rescue people during natural disasters. But did you know that dogs can also be【1】to help protect plants and animals?

Due to their 【2】sense of small and their high energy level, dogs can be taught to look for alien species（物种）that endanger local plants and animals. For example, in the United States, over 50 million ash trees have been killed by a particular type of beetle from Asia. The females of these insects【3】their eggs in the tree’s bark. Their young feed on the wood, killing the tree. Since these insect are almost impossible for humans to 【4】, dogs have been brought in to find them out so that humans can take action.

A. deserve B. items C. surprising D. unfortunately E. surprised

Similarly, dogs protect animals that are endangered by illegal hunting. From shark’s fin to tiger fur, animal products are sold and traded globally. But dogs’ smelling for these products at boarders can make those 【5】 harder to sell, which means fewer animals are likely to be killed.

Of all the ways dogs protect endangered animals, smelling for their waste is probably the most【6】. Scientists can actually learn a lot from animal waste samples. They can then use these pieces of information to help protect the animal. But 【7】 , depending on the size and location of the animal waste, finding it can be difficult.

For protecting endangered species in so many ways, dogs certainly 【8】our thanks. They’ve become not just man’s best friend, but the environment’s best friend, too.
