Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context．

　　I feel lucky to have won a place on this trip．We are 　　1　　 Italy now, and tomorrow we are visiting Pompeii．Next week we are flying to China, and going to Loulan, 　　2　　 is known as China’s Pompeii in the desert．Both Pompeii and Loulan became lost civilizations long ago．

　　This morning we attended a lecture about Pompeii．The city was founded in 　　3　　 8^thcentury BC．In 89BC, the Romans took over Pompeii．　　4　　 then became a rich city．Near the city was a volcano called Vesuvius．On 24 August AD 79, the volcano erupted and lava, ash and rocks poured out of it onto the surrounding countryside．It continued to erupt for the next two days．Many people were buried alive, and 　　5　　 was the city．

　　The first mobile telephones used a system, or network, called 1G．It was the “first generation” of technology．This allowed one person to call and talk to another person, but that was all．By the early 1990s, the second generation, or 2G network, came into use．It allowed talking and sending text messages．By that time, cell phones were much smaller and cost much less．

　　Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G．Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker．This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones．

　　“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month．

　　With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news, a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day．Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home．

　　Don’t worry about getting lost．3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset．

　　However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling．With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone．

　　Within the past two years, the 4G network has come into use．It permits cell phones to work much faster and have much more information．Modern cell phones can even act as small televisions．They can show movies and live sporting events．

　　As the networks have gotten more complex, the telephones have gotten smaller, lighter and less costly．Many electronics stores in the United States even give away the newest cell phones．But customers must agree to pay to use the network that sends their calls from one place to another．

　　It is interesting to imagine what the 5G and 6G network cell phones of the future will be able to do．

　　The long history of the Chinese Knot(中国结)dates back to ancient times when people first used knots for fastening, wrapping, hunting and fishing．The knot was developed into 　　1　　 art form during the Tang and Song dynasties and later popularized in the Ming and Qing Dynasty．

One major characteristic of decorative knot work is that all the knots are tied using one thread．　　2　　 finished, the knot looks identical(一模一样的)from both the front and back．They can come in a variety of colors such as：gold, green, blue 　　3　　 black, and however, the most commonly used color is red．　　4　　 is because it symbolizes good luck and prosperity(兴旺)．

　　Crafting(精心制作)the Chinese knot is a three-step process, 　　5　　 involves tying, tightening and adding．　　6　　 are many different shapes of Chinese knots, offering blessings of happiness, love and good luck．In Chinese, “knot” means reunion(团圆), friendliness, warmth, love, etc．Up to 　　7　　, the art of the Chinese Knot has been used in necklaces, buttons and even hangings 　　8　　 cars or mobile phones．

　　The First Americans

　　There was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia and North America．The first settlers in North America crossed this land bridge from what is now Siberia to Alaska．The people who made this initial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food．

　　Eventually, the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared．The settlers, who I shall call the "First Americans", could not return to their homeland．　　1

　　Farther south, in what is now Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers(悬崖居民)．They began by living in caves that already existed in the cliffs．　　4　　 The dwellings they constructed in many ways resembled today's apartment buildings．
