Every day, Duan Lianru spends several hours sitting in her office in Hunchun, Jilin province to make a 【小题1】 (compare) of hundreds of photos of Siberian tigers on the computer.

“It seems a little boring, but 【小题2】 (basic) I enjoy the work, which makes a connection between me and the big cats,” said the 36-year-old monitor from there search monitoring center of the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park. The park 【小题3】 (stretch) across the provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang.

Duan is responsible for identifying the tigers according to patterns on 【小题4】 (they) fur and giving them something like 【小题5】 identity card.

The park, 【小题6】 size exceeds (超过) 1.4 million hectares, is the most important habitat for wild Siberian tigers and Amur leopards in China.

The Siberian tigers’ “ID cards” come 【小题7】 a lot of important basic data that aids scientific conservation. 【小题8】 (base) on such information, Duan draws the family trees of the tigers.

Recent years 【小题9】 (see) a remarkable increase in the variety and number of wild animals and more tiger families have been found, including some back two or three generations.

“I feel quite honored to be involved in such significant work.” Duan said. “ 【小题10】 (create) a more beautiful world, humans and wild animals, I hope, can live in harmony.”

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we don’t educate children only for the purpose of 【小题1】(educate) them; our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — 【小题2】rich or poor, clever or stupid — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refuse to do 【小题3】they think to be “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands 【小题4】(think) to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely not 【小题5】(educate) farmer is far more important than 【小题6】of a professor. We can live 【小题7】education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, all of us must be educated to fit us for life, 【小题8】means that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly, 【小题9】 we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society. It is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education 【小题10】be considered valuable to society.

Never 【小题1】 Zhou Yang forget his first assignment 【小题2】 a newspaper reporter. When he asked his boss whether he could go out on a story at once, the boss told him that not 【小题3】 he was more 【小题4】 (experience) could he cover a story. So he was going to be sent to work with a colleague and a 【小题5】 (profession) photographer. The boss also told him that if he wanted 【小题6】(acquire) all the information he needed, he must ask many questions and had to listen to the detailed facts 【小题7】 (careful). Meanwhile he had to prepare for the next question 【小题8】 (depend) on what the person said.

The boss said if the person 【小题9】 (interview) agreed, he could use a recorder to make sure that he got all the facts straight. Now Zhou Yang has learned that only by getting the hang of all the tricks of the trade 【小题10】 he become a good reporter.
