After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.

Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi' s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.

　　(2)      by atypical Fujian-style trading ship used during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, about 30 students started building the sailing ship with the help of their teacher in March last year.
　　It was (3)       that the students finished the project successful. "We' ve worked together to show our love for craftsmanship (工艺)," said Zou Haishen, a 17-year-old student, "We call it Jixianghao, (4)      good luck to our school and our nation."

　　The human spine doesn't just help us stand up straight. Inside the spine is the spinal cord (脊髓). (1)      The legs and feet send "sense" information to the brain, saying they' re hurt or hot, for example. And the brain sends messages to the lower body, telling the legs to walk, dance or sit down.
　　When someone' s spinal cord is hurt, information about senses doesn't reach the brain from the lower body. And control messages can't make it to the lower body from the brain. (2)      
　　Surprisingly, now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. All of the three men had damaged their spinal cords in motorcycle accidents and couldn't move their legs. To help them walk again, a special device(装置) was put directly on the lower part of their spinal cord.
　　The scientists controlled the device from a computer. (3)      . In the past, scientists have had some successes with the similar device in the lower spine. Some patients have even trained themselves over months to be able to walk.
　　But this research is different. (4)      Instead, the computer tells the device to send"walking messages. The scientists use computers to create patterns of movement﹣ ﹣like taking a step﹣ ﹣that work well with each patient. The patients then choose the pattern they want, and the muscles(肌肉) move in the chosen way.
Over time, the three men are able to walk on their own, using a special walker with buttons to trigger (激发)each leg. (5)       The scientists are hopeful that in the future, this technology will allow more paralyzed people to walk again.

A. When that happens, a person is paralyzed (瘫痪的).
B. The patients' brains aren't sending"walking"messages to their legs.
C. The solution isn't perfect and the patients can' t wall without the system.
D. One of them has walked for half a kilometer on his own with the walker.
E. It carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body.
F. Just hours after the device was first used, all the three men were taking steps, with support.

　　In the opinion of many people, the two﹣parent family is the correct way to bring up children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but single-parent (单亲) families have had to face prejudices(偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the single parent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States, a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a single﹣parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single﹣parent families.
　　Compared to two parent families, single-parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What' s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure of both work and home. Although there are such disadvantages, it is possible for single﹣parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.
　　Surprisingly, single-parent families also have some advantages over two parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility (灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don't have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.
　　It' s important to remember that single-parent families have, until now received prejudices from some people. They think that it's easier for the children in single﹣parent families to drop out of school in teens, and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, single parent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.
