Does my goldfish know who I am?
I think this is a great question. I do spend my days 　1　 (study) how fish go about their lives. First of all, fish are much smarter than people think.

This shouldn’t surprise us too much. Just like other animals, they can find enough to eat, and 　3　 /nəʊ/ when it is safe to be out in the open. Being able to learn and remember things helps 　4　 (they) do this. 
Many kinds of fish can tell one from another, according to their group, their relatives, 　5　 even their own eggs. But fish live in 　6　 very different world from us. For many kinds of fish, although seeing is important, 　7　 (sense) such as smell and touch are even more important. 
So, does your fish know who you are? I believe your fish will 　8　 (sure) know when it is feeding time. My own fish become very 　9　 /ɪkˈsaɪtɪd/ when my hand appears near their tank, even before I drop the food in. I’m not sure that your fish will be able to remember what your face 　10　 (look) like, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if it could remember you in other ways, perhaps by the sound of your footsteps as you walk towards the tank.

English and Chinese are totally different languages. However, some proverbs(谚语) in English seem to have a “twin” in Chinese. Here are three of them.
A double-edged sword(双刃剑). / Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.
The Chinese proverb was 　1　(one) used by Confucius. He reminded a ruler that his power was 　2　(base) on people who supported him. If the people were dissatisfied, they could easily fight 　3　 the ruler. Similarly, a double-edged sword reminds us that what brings us power can bring us harm, too. 
These days, both expressions are used to point out how our tools can 　4　 help or harm us. It all depends on how we use these tools. 
Think before you act./ Think three times, and act after.
Both cultures are 　5　/waɪz/ enough to include this proverb. It is a good phrase to use when any friend is going to make a big 　6　(decide). 
Stand head and shoulders above the rest./A crane standing among a group of chickens.
A crane is a large 　7　/bɜː(r)d/ with long legs and a long neck. Just imagine such an animal 　8　(stand) among many chickens. The crane will naturally stand out, won’t it? 
So these two expressions now 　9　/rɪˈfɜː(r)/ to someone who stands out from the rest. You may use them to describe 　10　 talented artist, an excellent job candidate, and so on.
