One day, an emplyee, Edward Wilsn, watched wrkers puring crnmeal (谷粉) int the flaking machine, wetting it t keep it frm clgging (堵塞).

Nw 28, I’ve graduated frm cllege and gt a jb. Dad’s business has als started t get back n track. Yet the uncmfrtable silence between Dad and me went n.
Tw days befre my birthday last year, Dad came hme early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags int his study as usual. When I turned t leave, he asked me t clean his cmb. I lked at him fr a while, then tk the cmb and headed t the sink.
It was a new cmb. This ne was brwn. I hadn’t nticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back t Dad. He lked at it and smiled. But this time, I nticed smething different.

While the arts can’t stp the COVID-19 virus r the scial unrest we see in the wrld tday, they can give us insight int the chices we make when mving thrugh crises and chas. The arts invite everyne t think in new ways.
We ften experience wrks f art as smething that’s pleasing t ur senses withut a full understanding f the creative effrt. Great art ften shws us cntradictins and crises, and we can learn a great deal frm their reslutins. Thrugh ur understanding f art, we can gain a deeper understanding f hw we might vercme ur wn challenges. In understanding extremes f cntrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are nt simply pleasing fr their magnificent features r qualities.
Beethven ffers a wnderful example f mving artfully thrugh crises and chas. He cmpsed his Symphny N.9 as his hearing lss became mre and mre prnunced.

Beethven appears t have created a wrk f art that nt nly freed him frm his persnal struggles, but ne that als speaks t the jy f living tgether in peace and harmny.
Have a dialgue between the tw ppsing parts and yu will find that they always start ut fighting each ther until we cme t an appreciatin f difference—a neness f the tw ppsing frces. The arts ffer many lessns that can help us gain the knwledge we need t mve mre cnfidently in tday’s cmpetitive and uncertain envirnment. An penness t arts-based slutins will give yu mre cntrl ver yur future.

The ruins f a huge Maya city have been discvered in Guatemala with the help f the remte sensing technique LiDAR, accrding t the Natinal Gegraphic n Thursday.

The technique has been the activatr (催化剂) f many discveries in recent years. Fr instance, majr finds at Angkr, Cambdia and Caracl, Belize can explain what it did.

Thse have experts rethinking the utlines and cmplexity f the Maya empire.
These ancient peples bviusly established these imaginative cultures based n their knwn relics, but the new research has shwn that the scale f this lst sciety is far beynd what experts had imagined. The findings will be explred in an hur-lng dcumentary called Lst Treasures f the Maya Snake Kings, premiering (首映) Tuesday, February 6 n the Natinal Gegraphic Channel.
“There are entire cities we didn’t knw abut nw shwing up in the survey data,” said Francisc Belli, ne f the lead archelgists n the prject. “There are 20,000 square kilmetres mre t be explred and there are ging t be hundreds f cities there that we dn’t knw abut, and we will push the frntiers,” he added.
12. What can we knw abut LiDAR?
A It’s a breakthrugh in archelgy.B. It’s majr equipment in air frces.
C. It was first used in discvering a Maya city.D. It’s a remte sensing technique using laser pulses.
13. What des the underlined wrd “Thse” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The jungles f the Reserve.B. The utlines f the Maya empire.
C. The researchers f the rganizatin.D. The man-made prjects f the Reserve.
14. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe the Maya empire?
A Famus and dangerus.B. Vast and highly develped.
C. Muntainus and aggressive.D. Enrmus and traditinal.
15. What d archelgists hpe t d next?

C. Cntinue t explre the unknwn.D. Study the dcumentary mre carefully.
