My younger brother and I search every room to collect the tall candles and votives (烛台) around the house. I hurry from shelf to shelf gathering wax sticks in my arms and place them in the living room, a few candles in each corner except for a small red votive. That one I keep. It is the one I will take to the coffee table to use to read. I slide my book, Things Fall Apart, beside the candle holder, determined to finish the last three chapters, but lacking conviction(决心，勇气). So the book remains closed. A sigh escapes my brothers lips.“This is boring,” he says. A drop of wax falls on my book. “I know,” I say, but really, I am enjoying the stillness. I like to watch the candle burn and feel that life is simple. I like to look out the window into an immediate darkness unspoiled by the unpleasant night. I cherish these silent moments when I feel as if I can live the way they lived, the people of the past the Egyptians, the Pilgrims, the Greeks anyone who ever lived to see the black color Im seeing, anyone who lived to see a yellow flame and depended on it. I feel at one with a secret, ancient age. Im convinced that night, in this free state, is the closest a person can get to experiencing the past.So, what was night really like for them? Night, as we know it now, is a soft, tender thing compared to the unapproachable darkness that covered Earths first people. Even its beauty seemed incomparable. What did a farmers family do at night? Of course, the darkness must have brought them together, forced them into each others company as it has done to us tonight improved unity in a time of fear and uncertainty. A fire probably burned brightly in a central room where the family gathered to talk and relax. Night was a time when men and women were liberated from work and socialized. They had no computers or TVs, and had to make do with books, religion, and conversation. At their bedside, they prayed to God, and felt a sense of security that they were out of the darkness and harms reach.Nevertheless, to hang out was sometimes necessary, and the threat of robbers, wolves was present. What emotions did these people feel? Did they witness a deep bright blue cloud across heaven? Catch a glimpse of the devils creatures? What would it have been like to feel the night, heavy and damp against my back? Would it have taken me, choked me with its powerful hands, separated me from other people? Or would those have been frightful dreams, and dreams only? I imagine a young girl, stepping outside her home and into a desert for some air. A cool, earthy smell would greet her. Theres a sky decorated with millions of stars far more than a person could see today and theres the moon. Its the largest object in the sky, the midnight sun that lights the world, the travelers torch. It inspires stories of uncertainty, stories of power. I imagine this girl amazed at the moon and stars. If she wanders too far, she neednt worry, for the stars will lead her back home.Bzzz! The lights return. Everyone cheers and abandons the room, happy that their period of loneliness is over, everyone except me. I pull my candle closer, and stare into the night. The glory is gone; it has been lighted by street lamps, electric signs, TVs, and all other manner of artificial light. But in those moments, when every light in every house was put out, people may have had a taste of the old world. They may finally have touched upon the fear, the admiration, and the respect that our ancestors felt for the night. 41. It can be learned from the passage that the writer thinks the power failure . A. offers people a good chance to simplify their lifeB. keeps people away from the harm of the artificial lights C. brings too much inconvenience to people D. gives people a time to experience an old lifestyle42. By saying “This is boring.” (Paragraph2), the writers brother most probably means _. A. what the writer is reading is really uninteresting B. its dull for the family to have to stay indoors at night C. he really hates the sudden power failure D. he is afraid of the threat of robbers and wild animals43. From Paragraph4, we can learn that farmers of the past _. A. lived a really simple and boring lifeB. had nothing in common with modern people C. didnt have to work as hard as modern peopleD. might have no choice but to stay indoors at night44. The writer makes up the story of a young girl in order to _. A. inspire people to explore a desertB. show his appreciation for the beauty of night C. inform people of what to do at nightD. provide suggestions for traveling at night45.

Because he is held spellbound in the power of night.BHere are some must-know tips for applying to US colleges.Why are American universities so expensive?First of all, Ill say that American education is expensive for Americans but youre getting a high-quality education from some of the best professors in the world with some of the best resources and facilities in the world. American universities have state-of-the-art laboratories, computers, research systems, classrooms and all that is expensive. And also at many U.S. universities, youre learning from leading researchers and people who are at the top of the line in their field so its also expensive for universities to have those people as professors. So, youre paying for a quality product thats why its very expensive. What kind of financial aid is available?It really depends on the university what kind of financial aid is available. There are a lot of opportunities out there for international students. There are some universities that have merit-based scholarships. Many have scholarships in general for international students. There are athletic scholarships, scholarships based on a specific talent. Are school rankings important?I know that rankings matter to a lot of parents and students worldwide, but here in the U.S. we pay very little attention to rankings. The rankings that are produced are actually the opinion of several different magazines. The official government doesnt have a universal ranking system. With that said, we know that for many families abroad and outside the United States, rankings are very important. So as a university, we try to make that information available so that students can see our rankings. How can I prepare for the visa interview?As long as you are a genuine student, its likely that you will receive your visa. When you go for the interview theyre looking for generally three things.One, of course, when you go into that visa interview, you should really know things about the university that youre going to, why youre going there, why you want to study, what you want to study thats how you show that youre a genuine student.The second thing that theyre looking for is to be sure that you have the finances to cover your educational program. Youll have to submit the same bank documentation you used in order to get your I-20 to the U.S. Embassy as part of your interview to prove that you are able to pay for your education in the U.S.The next thing that theyre mainly looking for is to be sure that youre a legitimate student and that youre not looking to move to the United States, that you have a reason to return to your home country, prospective employment. 46. The passage is mainly about _.A. high-quality education in America B. learning atmosphere in US universitiesC. instructions on university admission in America D. approaches to getting financial aid in US universities 47.

Financial aid varies from university to university.49. Why are school rankings made available?A. Rankings matter to a lot of parents and students in the U.S. B. The students can get whole information of the university they are interested in.C. Many families abroad pay great attention to school rankings.D. The parents and students can know the opinion of several different magazines.CTears are kind of like sports drinks in that they contain various vitamins and minerals. For tear-drinking species like butterflies and bees, tears make them energetic. Ecologist Carlos de la Ro and his team watched and photographed bees and butterflies drinking crocodile tears. A paper on the discovery is published in the latest issue of Ecology and the Environment. The crocodile seemed not to mind. It was relaxing on the banks of the Ro Puerto Viejo in northeastern Costa Rica when the drink feast happened.“It was one of those natural history moments that you long to see up close,” Ro, director of the La Selva Biological Station for the Organization for Tropical Field Studies in San Pedro, Costa Rica, said in a press conference. “But then the question becomes, whats going on in here? Why are these insects tapping into this resource?” He had previously seen butterflies and moths in the Amazon feeding on the tears of turtles. Other researchers have witnessed bees sipping tears.A clue helping to explain why this happens comes from puddles (水坑). Butterflies often gather around mud puddles, sipping their mineral-laden water. Though bountiful in the ocean, salt is often a rare and valuable resource on land. We obviously get more than our fair share in salty foods, but butterflies and other insects need to look for other sources. In fact, Ro said that when minera
