convey regret lost opportunities mistakes and disappointment My father is famous for saying Take the extra minute to do it right I always try to live by the extra minute rule When my children were young and likely to cause accidents I always thought about what I could do to avoid an if only moment For example I would move a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter I would put padding 衬垫 onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table I don t only avoid those if only moments when it comes to safety It s equally important to avoid if only in our personal relationships We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say I love you or I forgive you When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn t be here But then I realized he s 84 years old and that I shouldn t give up an opportunity to see him I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything

its windscreen with the words Tourism Kills Neighborhoods The message is clear such cities are under pressure In tourists and residents battle for shared spaces local authorities are uncomfortably in the middle The tourism is one of the largest employers in the world with one new job created for every 30 new visitors to a destination but at what cost to locals quality of life More people are travelling than ever before and lower barriers to entry and falling costs mean they are doing so for shorter periods The rise of city break has increased tourist numbers Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time says Xavier Font a professor at the University of Surrey For locals the city no longer belongs to them What makes the problem worse is Airbnb which has made it more convenient for tourists to find accommodation in their destination but adds to residents headaches Those permanent citizens who share their apartment blocks with Airbnb hosts have lost their patience No longer do we have to share the streets with tourists and we have to share our own buildings To ease the jam around the main attractions many cities are taking immediate action Venice is proposing a new concept of Detourism sustainable travel tips and alternative routes for exploring a different Venice A greater variety of guidance for future visitors ideas for what to do in off peak seasons for

to imitate this process The artificial leaf developed 5 共 8 页 by Nocera and his colleagues can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts 催化剂 Similar to natural leaves it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water The hydrogen and oxygen gases the two materials to produce electricity are then stored in a fuel cell 电池 which is located either on top of a house or beside the house Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology said Nocera An artificial leaf is not a new idea The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use The new leaf however is made of cheap materials easy to use and highly stable In laboratory studies Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operate continuously for at least 45 hours The wonderful improvements come from Nocera s recent discovery of several powerful new inexpensive catalysts These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective than a natural one Besides the device can run in whatever water is available This is important for some countries that don t have access to pure water Hopefully each home can have access to the new application in the future 32 The purpose of this article is to A

countries will contribute more to the research 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余 选项 What roles do your parents play in your family 36 But in modern families mothers
