The pages of this " book" are full【C1】  ________colourful, lovely drawings of plants and astronomical objects,  like suns and moons.

But why would someone spend so much【C9】________on a manuscript and work so hard if it was just a prank(玩笑) ?
    Today, a group of scientists from around the world are working【C10】 tog________to create a machine that will help them finally crack the code. What do you think?
