last week,” he told me,“i havent even tried to write anything funny,and for a while i thought maybe i never would,or should”he had it; we all had itthat feeling of being stuck,unable to find your way back to the life you had lived beforei wrote 10 columns in a row about what i had seen,the planes crashing,the lives lostfinally,i had to force myself to write a column about something that was not terrorthat last one columnthen i went right back to what was now normalthat was a decade agotodays terrors become tomorrows memories news becomes history and i find myself remembering how i used to kill ants when i was a childthe thing that struck me was that they always came backeven if you destroy their world a hundred times,they build it a hundred and one timesthere is something of that in peopleit may be one of the best things about uswe always fight the miserable things in life,bury our dead,rebuild,and find a way to move forwardwe did it when fire burned down chicago,after the earthquake in san francisco,and after the floods in new orleansand we did it on september 11it is true that we have changed in ways that are not all goodwe are at war on three fronts we are running a strange prison on cubathe government may not tell you whyosama bin laden is deadexperts tell us the terror group he led is weakenedhowever,terrorism remains alive in american political thought,which

genetic weaknesses.for example,the cavendish banana is most popular in north american and european markets.however，some kinds of fungus organisms easily infect the cavendish.black sigatoka disease

different kinds of bananas.this protects against diseases that affect only one kind.experts warn that disease may cause the cavendish banana to disappear.this happened earlier to another popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease.61.what does this passage mainly tell us?a.bananas are the world s most important food crops.b.the risk to a popular banana shows that farmers

truth.language is the tool of my trade.and i use them allall the englishes i grew up with.born into a chinese family that had recently arrived in california,ive been giving more thoughts to the kind

limited,including peoples perceptions (认识) of the limited english speaker.i know this for a fact,because when i was growing up，my mothers “limited” english limited my perception of her.i was ashamed
