As aphotographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son wasborn in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. Mydaughter came along with a pack of gray wolves. Twenty stories later, though, its the storyin Alaskathat Ill remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness andthe story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. Thats the one that made timestand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤).Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some daysshe was so sick she couldnt watch TV. Early examination saves time. But ours wasnot early. By the time you can feel it yourself, its often bigger than thedoctor want it to be.Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our daysare already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as stormat harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learnto simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we dont.Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my threekids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. Thisis a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time. Wehave less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out thatKathys cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) isgood, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.Ive picked up my camera again. I watch thesky, searching for beautiful light. When winterstorms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catchsnowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what were living for.31.

Its time to get started. But whats next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkwardtime. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most ofyour college experience. Tosave time and money, use the colleges bus system. Taking the bus to school isquick, easy and free in most college towns. You wont have to locate or afford aplace to park either. Its also a good way to be environmentally aware. Savepennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of therecommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying usedtextbooks its a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well. Do never look at college life as an endless seriesof parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college ifyoure serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all aboutbalancing work and fun. Beaware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. Ifthe dorm doesnt suit you, consider living at home with your family or rentingyour own apartment. The bestlocation for your studies isnt always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like thelibrary, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block outnoise. Bemindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoidfoods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Manycollege students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year. While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldnt entirelyrely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Makesure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on yourplate can hurt your grades.35. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise? A. Driving your owncar.

Even then you can never recover the real value you placeon your possessions.But you cant insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if ourhomes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doors broken, ourprecious possessions ruined.“It wont happen to me”Wont it? A home is broken intoevery minute or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars andproperty stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently.“Ive nothing worth stealing”You may think not. But in facteveryone has something worth a thiefs attention. And we all have things ofspecial value to us even if theyre worth little or nothing in cash terms.“Im justa tenant (房客) here”The thief doesnt care whetheryoure a tenant or an owner-occupier. Youre just as likely to be robbed. Havea word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings arenecessary.“Theyll get in anyway”Most thieves are on the lookoutfor easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they cant get into in anyquick and easy way. So its worth taking care.“This booklet will help you”Its based on the practicalexperience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestionswill cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may involve someexpense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you mightotherwise suffer.If you are in doubt, ask for free advice fromthe Crillle Prevention Officer at your local police station.39.

Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling windsof 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and severalusually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars ofdamage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start asinnocent circling disturbances (气旋)hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly overwater warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds.When conditions are just right, warm, moist (潮湿的)air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it andcomes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air producesrain, and with it the heat that is switched to energy in the form of strongwinds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in acounter-clockwise motion (反时针方向).The average life of a hurricane is only aboutnine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy inthe heat released (释放) by a hurricanes rainfall in asingle day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States formore than six months.Water, rather than wind, is the main sourceof death and destroying in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6-to-12-inchdownpours resulting in suddenfloods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea the mountains ofwater moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises asmuch as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.43.

Several weeks ago, I was doing homework withmy son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over themath lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he wouldconcentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice hewa
