He’d spent seven hours climbing up Mount Qomolangma through ice and snow and now an exhausted Daniel Mazur sensed that success was near. It was 7: 30 a. m., Daniel climbed onto a narrow ledge (岩架) to rest with his teammates. Suddenly, Daniel saw a flash of bright yellow to his left. Was it a tent? He thought. The yellow blur moved again, and it was a man sitting cross-legged trying to change his shirt.
Hall, who had been alone on the mountain since 7: 30 the night before, had no supply with him now. He and his teammates had reached the summit at nine that morning. When they started on their descent (下山), Hall’s feet had stopped moving and he was overcome by a deep exhaustion at 28, 000 feet. He appeared to be dead. Checking one last time for signs of life when there was no response, his teammates gathered his backpack, food, water, and extra oxygen and left him.
Daniel’s team got Hall away from the cliff’s edge. They helped him back into his snowsuit and shared their food and water. Daniel radioed down to high base camp, and asked people for help. It was almost noon when a team finally arrived to help take Hall down the mountain.
“It’s such a personal challenge--once you’re up there, you feel as though you could do anything,” he says. “Sure, I wish I could have reached the summit again. But there’s no way we could have left Hall on that ridge (山脊). If we’d done that, chances are that he wouldn’t be alive today. And I would have to live with that for the rest of my life.”

Scientists have found something strange has been happening among sensitive bird species in the Brazilian Amazon in recent years. Not only were the birds declining in number, but their bodies were also shrinking in size. “We found that size was not only shrinking for those sensitive species-it was declining for everyone, “said researcher Vitek Jirinec of Louisiana State University. Jirinec’s findingsare contained in a new study published in the journal Science Advances last Friday.
The study examined 77 species over a 40-year period, during which time the rainforest had become warmer. It found they were rapidly evolving perhaps because smaller birds remove heat more efficiently as they have more surface area in relation to volume. Brian Weeks of the University of Michigan explained it this way: “You could imagine lots of little ice cubes in a glass of water, as opposed to one big ice cube, and the little ice cubes melt faster because smaller things have larger surface area-to-volume ratios(比)，so they exchange heat more quickly. “Weeks didn’t work on this particular study, but he did research the size of more than50 species of migratory (迁徙的) birds in North America a few years back. He too found that nearly all of them were shrinking decade by decade.
The two studies strengthen the idea that birds all over the planet, migratory or not, may be changing shape due to a warming climate. Weeks said these sorts of changes should concern all of us. “All around the world, people depend on natural systems. Complete natural systems provide more economic benefits to humanity than the entirety of the world’s GDP, so they matter to you whether or not you know it, Weeks said. Jirinec thought the timing of his paper’s publication could not be more fitting. The study came out on the same day as the conclusion of the UN climate change conference in Glasgow. So those results really stressed the common consequences of the actions for the planet.

| C．By giving enough evidence. | D．By observation and research. |

| C．Demanding. | D．Fantastic. |

| C．To praise the conference in Glasgow. | D．To make people focus on climate change. |
Have you noticed that many people can spend a lot of time comparing prices while shopping online, but always make careless decisions in the critical moments of their life? Maybe you are one of them?
Take choosing college major for example. Many people choose their current major simply because they “liked” it, or because they had heard that it is a promising industry in this era. However, few people consider carefully what they do in college, what they will be doing after graduation, and how much they get paid. You can probably imagine that they will be completely overwhelmed after four years in college.
To explore this issue, we must first understand three concepts: strategy, tactics, and guideline.
If you can’t figure out the difference among them, then it’s not surprising that you’ve messed up your life. Simply put, the “strategy” is “what to do”, that is, to choose a direction. The “tactics” have to be lower than “strategy”, which means that they decide “how to do it” after the “strategy” has been established. The “guideline” is even lower, referring to doing things the way other people have done it. It is sad that the current education system seems to focus only on the “guideline” level.
From primary school to high school, all knowledge is well-defined, the direction of effort is certain, and we do not need to make choices. When it comes to the university, such lifestyle of certainty suddenly collapses. Many people find that they lack the ability to choose. When no one helped them make a decision, they could achieve nothing. They are just like those who spend a lot of energy comparing product parameters (参数) when shopping online but don’t consider whether they really need those things. They are using tactical and guideline diligence to hide their strategic laziness.
Strategy is a ruler’s learning. For each person himself, whether to consider strategic issues determines whether you are the master of your own life.
