Rome Wasn't Built in A Day

More than two decades have passed since China sent 1. the first Beidou satellite into space in 2000. In that time, more Beidou satellites were sent into orbit, 2. forming (form) the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). In late 2012, it began providing positioning, navigation, timing and messaging 3. services (service) to people in China and other parts of the Asia­Pacific region.

Now with two more Beidou satellites 4. launched (launch) on Dec 16, 2019, BDS has 53 satellites in orbit, 5. which means the core (核心) of Beidou's third­generation network is now 6. in place. At the end of 2018, BDS started to provide global services. It's expected to greatly improve the system's 7. ability (able) to serve users worldwide. “This marks Beidou's stepping into a ‘global era’ from its ‘regional era’，” BDS Spokesperson Ran Chengqi said at a news conference.

Although a satellite­based navigation system needs only 24 satellites to run 8. properly (proper), having 53 allows for better coverage. He added that future plans call for a 9. smarter (smart) and more accessible system with Beidou at its core, to come online by 2035.

By then, we can probably say that Rome 10. has been (be) built finally.

(2021·山东济南二模)Robotics is a complex field. But brothers Sanjay and Arvind Seshan found an early passion for it. In 2014, they started a mission to make 1. it easier for others to learn robotics by creating a website, 2. where they teach people to code.

The story started when they were looking for materials for learning how to programme, and they 3. realised (realise) that there was not really anything good online. Then they came up 4. with an idea of creating a brief set of lessons from which kids and adults can learn 5. easily (easy) to programme.

The website started with basic lessons on robotics and coding. But now the lessons can support kids who 6. have been involved(involve) with robotics for years and who want to learn something new. The brothers thought that one of the reasons why kids liked it 7. was(be) that they were being taught by other kids.

The brothers understand that robotics takes 8. patience(patient) and lots of time. They recall a project 9. called(call) Pix3l Plott3r, a robot that would print people's pictures. It took them two years to get a fully working model, and they made six or more versions. The Seshan brothers' advice is never 10. to give(give) up if something does not work for the first time and to try different ways of solving the problem.
