Ways of【C1】______ the difference have become more accurate and meaningful over time, but popular terminology still reflects the old【C2】______into "warm blooded" and "cold blooded" species; warm blooded included mammals and birds, 【C3】______all other creatures were considered cold blooded. As more species were studied, it became evident that this classification was【C4】______. A fence lizard usually has a body temperature only a degree or two below that of humans and so is not cold. Therefore the next distinction was made between animals that maintain a【C5】______body temperature and those whose body temperature varies with their environment. But this classification also【C6】______inadequate, because among mammals there are many that vary their body temperatures during hibernation. Furthermore, many invertebrates that live in the【C7】______of the ocean never experience a change in the chill of the deep water, and their body temperatures remain constant.

The latter do so mainly by moving to favorable sites or by changing their exposure to【C9】______ sources of heat.

Home schooling is the education of children at home. The practice wins the heart of some parents. Should home education really be advocated? The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization, language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.YES Home schooling allows children to learn in an environment that has the needs of one or a very few number of students as the focus of the educative process. Parents are willing to invest in their children and can provide targeted provision that prioritises the learning needs of those individuals. Therefore, specific textbooks that are tailored to the child's mode of learning can be purchased. Classroom-based education must, by necessity, cater for the needs of the group as a whole which leaves those the very bright unchallenged and those with special needs falling behind and unsupported. The authorities often take years to recognise the needs of students and they lose years of education in the process. However, homeschooling can benefit such students by shaping the learning environment to cater for their needs by being flexible to adapt.NO Hundreds of experts and researchers ensure the quality of public schools. It is presumptuous for a parent to think they know how to teach a child better than that accumulated wisdom. Just because the child is a product of that individual does not mean that the education knowledge of the parent surpasses that of professionals in that field who have spent years training. Furthermore, even the best teachers can be improved by the insight of a third-party; such evaluations are not accessible to home-schooling parents. The danger is that "From the government's perspective, the world of home education is full of unknowns"; there are not sufficient measures of quality control in place to protect the child and their right to a comprehensive education.

Yet, about one out of four American marriages ends in divorce. Since 1940, the divorce rate has more than doubled, and experts predict that, of all marriages that【C2】______ in the 2000s, about 50% will end in divorce. The U.S. has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, perhaps【C3】______ the highest. What goes wrong? The fact that divorce is so common in the United States does not mean that Americans consider marriage a casual, unimportant【C4】______. Just the opposite is true. Americans expect a great deal from marriage. They seek physical, emotional, and intellectual compatibility. They want to be deeply loved and【C5】______. It is because Americans expect so much from marriage that so many get divorced. They prefer no marriage at all to a marriage without love and understanding. With typical American【C6】______, they end one marriage in the hope that the next will be happier. With no-fault divorce laws in many states, it is easier than before to get a divorce. Some American women, stay in unhappy marriages because they don't have the education or job【C7】______to support themselves and their children. But most American women believe that, if necessary, they can make it alone without a husband. When a couple gets divorced, the court may【C8】______ the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money called alimony. The amount of alimony depends on the husband's income, the wife's needs and the【C9】______ of the marriage. Occasionally, the court decides that a woman should pay her husband alimony. About 10% of American women out earn their husbands. The court may decide that she must continue to support him after the divorce. This is a rather new【C10】______ in the United States.

Reality television has become very popular over the past decade, but some viewers claim it does more harm than good. Is it really the case? The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization, language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.YES Reality TV is actually getting worse as the audience becomes more and more used to the genre. Many shows are becoming ever more vulgar and offensive, trying to find new ways to shock. When "the British Big Brother" was struggling for viewers last year, its producers responded by attempting to shock the audience a little bit more by showing too much nudity on live TV in a desperate grab for higher ratings. Others have involved fights and racist bullying. Do we let things continue until someone has to die on TV to boost the ratings?NO Reality television programs are very popular with audiences of all ages and types. They may not be high culture, but most people do want them on television. Most viewers want to be entertained and escape for a while from the worries and boredom of their everyday lives. Furthermore, reality TV creates a society whereby we have shared experiences and a strong sense of community. As such, reality TV provides an important social glue. Once upon a time, there were only a few television channels, and everybody watched the same few programs. Now reality TV provides a shared experience that helps to bind people together, and give them common things to talk about at work and school the next day.
