lovely, leather-bound(装订)biblefuriously, he said, “with all your money you give me a bible?” he then stormed out of the house, leaving the biblemany years passed and the young man was very successful in business. he had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought he should go to see himhe had not seen him since that graduation daybefore he made the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and left all of his possessions to his sonwhen he arrived at his fathers house, he began to search through his fathers

mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. people wont have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. besides, the journey wont be safe. can anybody explain to me just why people would go to mars, never to return? steve minear, ukhere are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory. for scientists there is another reason. their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements. donal trollop, canadathere are already too many people on the earth. i think that something before the end of the century, there will be a human colony on mars. it will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet mars are unnecessary. most of the danger of space flight is in the launches and landings. cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement in another world. enough supplies can be sent on ahead, and every two years more supplies and more people will be sent to the new colony. mars has all the materials for a colony to produce or make everything it needs, and mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space. paul davies, usa40. the main purpose of steve minears writing is_. . a. to report his classmates discussion b. to invite an answer to his questionc. to explain the natural state of mars d. to show his agreement on going to mars41. which of the following best states donal trollops ideas? a. there is a plan to send humans to mars b. there are many reasons for going to mars c. scientists become famous by doing research on mars d. it is possible to build an earth-like environment on mars42. paul davies points out that_. a. humans need only a one- way ticket to mars b. two-way trips to mars will be made safe soon c. it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to mars d. it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on mars43. what does paul davies think of human existence on mars? a. humans will have to bring all they need from the earth b. humans will find mars totally unsuitable for living c. humans can produce everything they need d. humans can live longer in the colony on marsca survey said the average asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. i was shocked. i mean, a whole minute? every day? get real. once a week maybe. the fact is, many asian males are terrible at kid-related things. in fact, i am one of them.child-rearing doesnt come naturally to guys. my mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. my dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. my mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. my dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. then hed buy beer. my mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. my dad would ask my english teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. my mother served kid food to kids. my dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.the truth is, mother have superpowers. my son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. i demanded someone bring me a computer so i could google what to do. my wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds. yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. here are some famous slip-ups.the mother of bill gates: “if youre going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, dont come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” the mother of albert einstein: “when you grow up, youll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space wont pay the grocery bills.” the mother of george w. bush: “youll never be like your dad, who became president of the united states

probably taken from .aa diarybbiography ca text book da newspaperedisposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. as more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. during the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. people would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. periodically some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. the unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. the first problem is space. dumps(垃圾场), which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. a long distance dump has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is nonexistent. awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. the amount of waste, however, continues to grow.recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. eve
