2 . As much as we like to think about nature embodying balance, the universe is actually filled with imbalance, too. Let’s take the supernova (超新星) for example. Two stars orbit each other. One of the stars is older, called a “white dwarf,” while the other star is a bit younger. Their mutual gravitational interaction (相互引力相互作用) pulls material off the younger star and dumps it onto the surface of the white dwarf. If enough material falls onto the dwarf, the stuff dumped on to the white dwarf begins to “burn”.
If the conditions are right, you always burn up the same amount of material that gets added. If the donor star is dumping too much material onto the dwarf, the burning runs out of control. It consumes not just the new material on the white dwarf’s surface but the whole of the dwarf star itself. So much energy is released so quickly that the star finds itself wildly out of balance. In an instant, it becomes a super-hot ball of unbalanced pressure, BOOM! A supernova is born.
Closer to home, a similar but different kind of process happens in volcanoes. Volcanoes are born when magma (熔岩) from deep in the Earth makes its way slowly to the surface through cracks in the planet’s crust (地壳). The heat from the magma builds up a massive pressure imbalance inside the mountain. It’s that imbalance that drives the BOOM, the volcanic eruption that rips a zillion tons of rocks away and sends ash 15 miles into the sky.
But here’s the thing: Supernova, volcanoes and all those other explosions in the universe are not just awesome sights. They are all essential players in cosmic (宇宙的) evolution. Supernova create a lot of the elements in your body that are essential to life. No supernova, no you. And volcanoes are essential to evolution of the planet, including the cycling of greenhouse gases like CO2 that make Earth habitable. No volcanoes, no you.

3 . How to Develop a Lifelong Leaming Habit
To be perfectly honest, I used to think the only way to learn was in school, but I was not always a big fan of “conventional learning”, unless it was a course that really interested me. It was not until I expanded my own definition of learning that my lifelong learning journey began. My travelling experiences, the books I read, and even my own missteps — all became a means for learning.
Now I cannot learn enough or get my hands on enough information.
First of all, you can create an objective for your learning. For example, maybe your objective is to reduce your stress levels or find different ways to relax.
Another important way is to start small. If lifelong learning has not been your “thing”, trying to eat this learning elephant in one bite makes it more difficult to stick with.
A.You lose interest in those things. |
B.The most important thing is to make it fun. |
C.Try to finish one thing in fewer steps. |
D.Lifelong learning is like potato chips to me — I want more. |
E.A better way is to break down your learning into bite-sized pieces. |
F.After you have fixed that small habit into place, you can then add to it. |
G.Having an objective not only makes learning beneficial but gives it a purpose. |

5 . With the holidays approaching, I sit down at my kitchen table to begin addressing holiday greeting cards.
In front of me are neatly organized piles: red and green cards with shining trees, white envelopes, various colored pens and books of postage stamps. Everything is in place to begin when I’m interrupted by a judgemental “What is that?” from my youngest daughter, Charlotte. Her eyes have just landed on my rather time-worn address book.
My address book is close to 40 years old. Its faded cover was once quite lovely, but now it is crisscrossed with tape (缠满了胶带) , and an elastic band (橡皮筋) just about keeps the bits and pieces of paper together, which are trying their best to escape confinement (束缚) .
“You still use that old thing. You know there are apps for that?”. Charlotte continues.
Written’ on these pages are the names of people who were once important in my life. This includes the names of old friends and contacts for employers and past neighbors. There are people, I came across for a short while and then never saw again, such as a guy who was cycling across Canada to raise. funds for cancer research. And, of course, there are lots and lots of family, contacts.
When I flip through the pages, I wonder what has become of many of the people—I refuse to scratch out any names (even if they have died) . All of these people were once important in. my life, but many of them have been lost to time.
My internal musings finish, I return to the present and respond to my daughter, “Yeah, darling, I know. Why don’t you show me an app to improve this mess sometime?”
“All right, Mom. Maybe next week.”
Just as I thought, she’s already moved on. It’s a good thing I have my contacts down on paper. And no matter what, I will always treasure this old, dog-eared address book as a way to remind me of who I was and the people who shaped who I’ve become.
1. What is the condition of the author’s address book?A.Old but neat. | B.Colorful but loose. |

6 . Maps transport us. They make the landscape fit indoors, make us masters of sights we can’t see and spaces we can’t cover. An award-winning book make the grand journeys taken by wild animals fit indoors, too. Where the Animals Go: Tracking Wildlife with Technology in 50 Maps and Graphics by James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti is an engaging volume, gorgeous in its illustrations and text. Its double intent is brilliant, too — to bring each of us closer to the animal world and to highlight fresh ways to think about conservation.
Technology is central to this effort. As Chesire and Uberti explain, a variety of methods including GPS tracking, acoustic tracking, and sunlight-based geolocating have opened. up the scope of the science of animal movement and brought in an era of new precision.
In a stirring passage, Cheshire and Uberti write: “We can see how the lifeblood of the world’s first national park also depends on protecting land outside its borders. And once you see that twice a year some animals are traveling across 23 million acres of state, it’s hard not. to question our reasons for dividing wilderness into so many scraps, each with its own agenda and regulations. Animals use the land as one big, interconnected system. Perhaps we might learn to do the same.”
Cheshire and Uberti hope the book will inspire discourse about the geographic needs of animals. One of their goals for this book is to connect people to the lives and intentional choices of individual animals. People see individuality in their pets; it’s much harder to see in the wild. As a result, to some, animals in the wild may seem like furry robots following a predetermined loop. This is the kind of thinking they hope to shift.
1. What is the function of maps according to the passage?A.To decorate homes. | B.To educate people. |
C.To dominate sights. | D.To display landscape. |
A.To track wildlife with technology. | B.To bring human closer to wildlife. |
C.To begin in a new era of precision. | D.To show their gorgeous illustration. |
A.Human needs to see wilderness as a whole. | B.Animals’ agendas are different from man’s. |
C.We should protect land outside our borders. | D.The survival of national parks lies in protection. |
A.Wild animals have individuality. | B.Wildlife makes intentional choices. |
C.Wildlife follows a predetermined path. | D.Wild animals are as furry as robots. |

As a senior 3 student, I have been busy with my study and seldom does any housework. I decided to give the rooms a thoroughly cleaning to surprise my parents on last Sunday. Firstly, I collected newspapers, books, and snacks scattered in the rooms and put it in place. Then I wiped the dust off all the furnitures. After that, I sweep and mopped the floors. My parents were quite surprise to see all the rooms were neat and tidy. Tired as I was, I felt sense of achievement when I saw satisfaction in their eyes. Doing these chores can help me not only improve some basic life skills and understand my parents daily efforts better.
