gloriously beautiful sunset. i had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry. i took the next-best action. quickly i ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. she looked at me as though i were from some other planet. she hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door. when she got outside i said to her, “just look at that sunset! nobody out here was looking at it and i just had to share it with someone.” for a few seconds we just looked. then i said, “god is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” i thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and i left. it felt good to share the beauty. four years later my situation changed greatly. i came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. i was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. i lived in a trailer park which, at the time, i considered a real come-down, and i had to do my wash in the community laundry room. one day, while my clothes were going around, i picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. she had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store. then something that happened to her changed everything. she said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. the stranger had said, “god is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. from that moment on, she turned her life around. 56.the author asked the woman to go outside to _.a. admire the sunsetb.

or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? after all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. this book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. as scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaurs coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.beyond the solar systemby mary kay carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13 this book takes readers back to the beginnings of space explorationthousands of years ago,

knowledge of scienced. recommend new science books to childrenceverywhere i look outside my home i see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets.when connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.people have been influenced to become technology addicted.one survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to ipad and similar devices.one study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol. the main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life.they have successfully created a cultural disease.consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.i see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them.i call this technology servitude.i am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money. what is a healthy use of technology devices?that is the vital question.who is really in charge of my life?that is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology.when we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology.mae west is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” but its time to discover that it does not work for technology.richard fernandez, an executive coach at google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” to break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without todays overused technology.63. the underlined word “allure” in

high-tech devicesc. can regain freedom without high-tech devices d. may enjoy life better without overused technology 66. whats the authors attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?a. neutral. b. sceptical. c. disapproving. d. sympathetic.ddid you see american figure skater, jeremy abbott, crash to the ice during the short program at the sochi olympics, rolling into the wall, clutching his side in pain. ten seconds later, he got up and continued his skatedespite the pain, embarrassment and fear. all i could think was: this kids got courage. in business we have a word for itresilience, the ability to gain strengths and confidence from overcoming unpleasant events. however, opposite examples appeared in sochi olympics as well. for them, failure is someone elses fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. after years of studying failure, i have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results. everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. the key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.the good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. it may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. if you believe the above paragraph to be true, then youre probably more resilient than you think you are. it takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. for example, ron johnson, the ill-fated ceo of jc penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize some
