“Half the park is after dark” is mre than a clever saying; it's a way f life — especially fr Tyler Nrdgren. He's an artist, astrnmer and natinal park lver wh invented the expressin and illustrated ( 加 插 图 ) the accmpanying pster ( 海 报 ) series fr the natinal parks. The printed pictures shw the midnight blue sky with the vastness (浩瀚）f the Milky Way. They usually picture a star-lit silhuette (轮廓 ) f ne f the park's driving attractins, and mst psters will mentin "See the Milky Way" r "Half the Park Is After Dark.”
Unfrtunately, the night sky, r the actual night sky, isn't smething mst peple get t experience fully. Accrding t a recent study, ver 80 percent f the wrld cannt see the whle night sky because f light pllutin. Frm streetlights t buildings t giant advertisements — think Time Square in New Yrk
— artificial light illuminates ( 照 亮 ) the night sky, stealing the stars frm us. This is why Nrdgren encurages us t get away frm light pllutin and experience the true starry sky in a natinal park.
“Think abut all the histry and all the peple wh ever lked up at the stars and wndered abut the universe. That's smething that we n lnger have tday,” says Nrdgren. “Get ut int nature, and see the universe beynd ur wn atmsphere. And when yu see that, yu feel awe ( 敬 畏 ),” says Nrdgren. Accrding t a 2018 study, experiencing awe can increase feelings f humility( 谦逊) — making ne kinder, mre mdest and mre psitive. One can feel this sense f awe after hiking a muntain r seeing the Milky Way.
Imagine experiencing a natinal park after dark. As the sun ges dwn, the park empties. Many park visitrs return t their campsites r htels, and nw the park is quiet and peaceful. "This is a great time t experience sme f the park's best features," Nrdgren says. "Yur eyes will mst likely adjust, but bringing a flashlight is always a gd idea. It's always wise t make sure yu're nt hiking near cliffs( 峭 壁) in the dark and be aware f what srt f wildlife may be in the park.”
What is shwn in the psters?
A.The night sky abve natinal parks.B.The crwdedness f natinal parks.
C.The life f natinal park lvers.D.The prmise t the prtectin f natinal parks.
What des the authr indicate by mentining Time Square?
A. New Yrk's nightlife is very busy.B. Stars are the wnders existing beynd technlgy.
City life withut artificial light is hardly pssible.
Stars can hardly be seen in the night sky because f light pllutin.
What is the finding f the 2018 study?
Experiencing awe is helpful.
Psitive peple tend t hike a muntain.
It is difficult t see the Milky Way nwadays.
Peple are becming increasingly discnnected frm nature.
What d Nrdgren's wrds in the last paragraph tell us?
A. His cncerns.B. His humr.C. His suggestins.D. His expectatin.

Failing Is Better than Nt Trying at All
D yu remember the last time yu tried smething new and failed? 36 Failure is an imprtant part f learning and grwing. Dn't immediately give up — try as much as yu can. Here are several realizatins that can help push yu t try mre.
37 Yu can be filled with thughts f what culd have happened if yu had nly decided t try. Smething gd culd have happened, and yu will never knw unless yu try.
Sure, there are a lt f uncertainties that cme when trying smething new. 38 Hwever, nt every result is unpleasant frm ding smething. Yu have t wrk hard and be patient if yu want psitive results.
Repeated failures can be very discuraging. But yu dn't becme a cmplete lser just because yu failed. 39 Every failure can shw what desn't wrk s that yu can try smething different next time.
Trying smething new and different can be risky. Yur time and effrts can be wasted when nthing happens. 40 Sme f the mst significant gains can nly be made by taking risky strategies.
It takes time t achieve success and yur gal, but when yu have tried everything available and nthing had happened, this is the nly time yu shuld give up and stp trying.
If s, dn't wrry.
S yu never knw if yu can be successful r nt.
There are several reasns why yu may fear failures.
Hwever, we wn't knw if smething fruitful can ccur unless we try.
Having a slid supprt system can als help yu build cnfidence in taking risks.
An excellent way t help smebdy keep mving frward is t treat each failure as a life lessn.
Perhaps the mst imprtant thing yu dn't want t experience frm nt trying is regret later in yur life.

“Half the park is after dark” is mre than a clever saying; it's a way f life — especially fr Tyler Nrdgren. He's an artist, astrnmer and natinal park lver wh invented the expressin and illustrated ( 加 插 图 ) the accmpanying pster ( 海 报 ) series fr the natinal parks. The printed pictures shw the midnight blue sky with the vastness (浩瀚）f the Milky Way. They usually picture a star-lit silhuette (轮廓 ) f ne f the park's driving attractins, and mst psters will mentin "See the Milky Way" r "Half the Park Is After Dark.”
Unfrtunately, the night sky, r the actual night sky, isn't smething mst peple get t experience fully. Accrding t a recent study, ver 80 percent f the wrld cannt see the whle night sky because f light pllutin. Frm streetlights t buildings t giant advertisements — think Time Square in New Yrk
— artificial light illuminates ( 照 亮 ) the night sky, stealing the stars frm us. This is why Nrdgren encurages us t get away frm light pllutin and experience the true starry sky in a natinal park.
“Think abut all the histry and all the peple wh ever lked up at the stars and wndered abut the universe. That's smething that we n lnger have tday,” says Nrdgren. “Get ut int nature, and see the universe beynd ur wn atmsphere. And when yu see that, yu feel awe ( 敬 畏 ),” says Nrdgren. Accrding t a 2018 study, experiencing awe can increase feelings f humility( 谦逊) — making ne kinder, mre mdest and mre psitive. One can feel this sense f awe after hiking a muntain r seeing the Milky Way.
Imagine experiencing a natinal park after dark. As the sun ges dwn, the park empties. Many park visitrs return t their campsites r htels, and nw the park is quiet and peaceful. "This is a great time t experience sme f the park's best features," Nrdgren says. "Yur eyes will mst likely adjust, but bringing a flashlight is always a gd idea. It's always wise t make sure yu're nt hiking near cliffs( 峭 壁) in the dark and be aware f what srt f wildlife may be in the park.”
What is shwn in the psters?
A.The night sky abve natinal parks.B.The crwdedness f natinal parks.
C.The life f natinal park lvers.D.The prmise t the prtectin f natinal parks.
What des the authr indicate by mentining Time Square?
A. New Yrk's nightlife is very busy.B. Stars are the wnders existing beynd technlgy.
City life withut artificial light is hardly pssible.
Stars can hardly be seen in the night sky because f light pllutin.
What is the finding f the 2018 study?
Experiencing awe is helpful.
Psitive peple tend t hike a muntain.
It is difficult t see the Milky Way nwadays.
Peple are becming increasingly discnnected frm nature.
What d Nrdgren's wrds in the last paragraph tell us?
A. His cncerns.B. His humr.C. His suggestins.D. His expectatin.

Failing Is Better than Nt Trying at All
D yu remember the last time yu tried smething new and failed? 36 Failure is an imprtant part f learning and grwing. Dn't immediately give up — try as much as yu can. Here are several realizatins that can help push yu t try mre.
37 Yu can be filled with thughts f what culd have happened if yu had nly decided t try. Smething gd culd have happened, and yu will never knw unless yu try.
Sure, there are a lt f uncertainties that cme when trying smething new. 38 Hwever, nt every result is unpleasant frm ding smething. Yu have t wrk hard and be patient if yu want psitive results.
Repeated failures can be very discuraging. But yu dn't becme a cmplete lser just because yu failed. 39 Every failure can shw what desn't wrk s that yu can try smething different next time.
Trying smething new and different can be risky. Yur time and effrts can be wasted when nthing happens. 40 Sme f the mst significant gains can nly be made by taking risky strategies.
It takes time t achieve success and yur gal, but when yu have tried everything available and nthing had happened, this is the nly time yu shuld give up and stp trying.
If s, dn't wrry.
S yu never knw if yu can be successful r nt.
There are several reasns why yu may fear failures.
Hwever, we wn't knw if smething fruitful can ccur unless we try.
Having a slid supprt system can als help yu build cnfidence in taking risks.
An excellent way t help smebdy keep mving frward is t treat each failure as a life lessn.
Perhaps the mst imprtant thing yu dn't want t experience frm nt trying is regret later in yur life.
