Ⅳ.完形填空
Once, somebody asked a successful businessman, "How have you 16 so much success?"
He answered, "I grow great by dreams. I imagine what I want to do. Then, I go to bed and 17 my dreams. I dream long into the night. And when I get up the next 18, I see a way to make my dreams 19. Other people are saying, 'I can't do that. It is impossible.' I'm 20 on my way to get what I want."
As Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president(总统) of the US, said, "We grow great by dreams. All big men are 21."
They see things in the soft wind of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter evening. Some of us let these dreams 22, but others protect them and work hard for them. They take care of them through bad days. 23 always comes to those who sincerely(真诚地) hope that their dreams will come true. Don't tell yourself that your dreams are 24. Don't let other people 25 you as you go after success. Sing your songs, dream your dreams and hope your hopes.

Making Science Fun
You may have heard about the Ig Nobel Prize(搞笑诺贝尔奖). It is given to scientists who do interesting and sometimes silly studies. China has a similar(相似的) prize called the Pineapple Science Award(菠萝科学奖). Zhejiang Science and Technology Museum in Hangzhou started the award in 2012. "Our goal is to make people see the beauty of science. We hope to help everyone get to know and understand science out of curiosity(好奇) and bring out their love and respect(尊重) for science," Xu Rui, from Zhejiang Science and Technology Museum, told Xinhua.
On Nov 11, 10 fun studies from around the world got the Pineapple Science Award 2023. Let's look at three of them.
Biology prize: playful bumblebees(大黄蜂)
Kids everywhere know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now, scientists at Queen Mary University of London found out that bumblebees seem to know the same thing. If scientists give bumblebees tiny(极小的) wooden balls, they'll spend time moving them around. They're just doing the action for fun. And the younger bumblebees spend more time rolling the balls. Many animals play. But they are mainly mammals(哺乳动物) and birds. Before this, there were no reports of insects(昆虫) playing.
Medical prize: hair plucking
Why does plucking(拔) white hair lead to(导致) more white hair? Sun Qi and her team at New York University found the answer. New hair grows from follicles(毛囊). In follicles, there lives a special kind of cell(细胞). These cells give color to our hair. They move around inside the follicles. To create colors like black and brown, they need to be at the bottom(底部) of hair follicles. After that, they go up to the top of the follicles and start moving toward the bottom to create color again as more hair grows. However, if we pluck our hair too often, the cells may get stuck at the top of the follicles. So they stop making colors, leading to more white hairs.
Mathematics prize: tossing a coin
Heads or tails? Tossing(抛) a coin is not as fair as you might think. A research team from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands held a coin-tossing marathon(马拉松). During the marathon, 48 teachers and students used 46 different currencies(货币), including Chinese coins. They spent 8 hours a day for 81 days tossing the coins. After 350,757 tosses, the team found that the side facing up when tossed is more likely to land facing up, at a ratio(比例) of about 51:49.
