When the need fr infrmatin technlgy service arises, it can be a stressful mment—the user is lcked ut f their cmputer, r a prgram isn't wrking prperly. But if yu ask anyne in the MIT departments f Chemistry and Physics, r the News Office— the Institute divisins that are frtunate enugh t have Greg Waltn as their IT service prvider, they'll acknwledge that nt nly is Waltn the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it thrugh until all invlved are satisfied with the utcme. Waltn usually arrives n the scene with endless psitive energy that transfrms a technical annyance int an enjyable interactin, regardless f hw many ther IT fires he has already put ut that day.
The qualities that make him a star emplyee extend far beynd the campus. After spending his early years in fster care, Waltn lived with his great-grandmther, but mstly, he was left t supprt himself. While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Waltn excelled academically and athletically at high schl. He became the first persn in his family t graduate frm high schl, and enrlled in cllege.
Waltn seized the chance t enrll in Year Up, a prgram aiming t clse the “pprtunity divide” by prviding yung adults with the skills, experience, and supprt that will empwer them t reach their ptential thrugh prfessinal careers and higher educatin. Waltn remains an active ambassadr fr the rganizatin.
In June f 2007, armed with shining recmmendatins, Waltn was hired as a temp（临时工） at MIT. He eventually wrked his way up t where he is tday — an invaluable asset （不可或缺的人） t three departments. “I d feel lucky t wrk at MIT,” he says. “I've had the ability t tur the cuntry sharing my stry in hpes that sme peple may be inspired and emplyers may see yung adults with tugh backgrunds differently.”
In additin t Year Up, he is invlved with a number f rganizatins cmmitted t helping yung adults vercme their trubled pasts. This desire t have a psitive impact n peple's lives extends seamlessly int his wrk at MIT. “Giving back is very imprtant t me,” Waltn says. ‘S many peple have invested their time and energy int helping me, s I feel it wuld be an injustice nt t d s.”
24. Staff members in MIT sing high praise fr Waltn mainly because _______.
A. he enjys interacting with his clients
B. he knws hw t put ut fires fr thers
C. he is gd at develping cmputer prgrams
D. he slves prblems with a psitive attitude
25. What d we knw abut Waltn befre he went t cllege?
A. He std ut in study and sprts in high schl.
B. He depended n his great-grandma fr a living.
C. He lay flat just like ther unsupervised children.
D. He was supprted by fster care fr better educatin.
26. Why did Waltn get invlved with a lt f rganizatins?
A. T share his trubled past with yung adults.
B. T advise businesses t treat yung adults fairly.
C. T pay back t sciety by helping yung adults.
D. T prmte educatin equality amng yung adults.
27. What can we cnclude frm Waltn's stry?
A. One gd turn deserves anther.
B. Opprtunities favr the prepared mind.
C. One's future is defined by his effrts, nt by his rigin.
D. Educatin is a pwerful weapn t change the wrld.

We all knw that eating later in the day isn't gd fr ur waistlines, but why? A new study weighed in n that questin by cmparing peple wh ate the same fds —but at different times in the day.
“We fund that eating fur hurs later makes a significant difference fr ur hunger levels, the way we burn calries after we eat, and the way we stre fat,” Vujvic said, a researcher at Bstn's Brigham and Wmen's Hspital. “Tgether, these changes may explain why late eating is assciated with increased besity risk reprted by ther studies and prvide new bilgical insight int the underlying mechanisms.” The study prvides supprt fr the cncept that circadian（生理节奏） rhythm, which influences key physilgic functins such as bdy temperature and heart rate, affects hw ur bdies absrb fuel, researchers said.
The study des shw eating later results in “an increase in hunger, impacts hrmnes（荷尔蒙） and als changes gene expressin, especially in terms f fat metablism with a tendency twards less fat breakdwn and mre fat depsitin,” said Dr. Bhanu Prakash Klla, a prfessr f psychiatry and psychlgy at the May Clinic Cllege f Medicine and a cnsultant t May's Center fr Sleep Medicine and Divisin f Addictin Medicine.
The study was small—nly 16 verweight r bese peple-but carefully planned t eliminate ther ptential causes f weight gain, the authrs said. “While there have been ther studies investigating why late eating assciates with an increased risk fr besity, this may be the mst well cntrlled, including strictly cntrlling the amunt, cmpsitin and timing f meals, physical activity, sleep, rm temperature and light expsure,” said senir authr Frank Scheer, directr f the Medical Chrnbilgy Prgram in the Brigham's Divisin f Sleep and Circadian Disrders. AI participants were in gd health, with n histry f diabetes r shift wrk, which can affect circadian rhythm, and had regular physical activity. Each persn in the study kept t a strict healthy sleep/wake schedule fr abut three weeks and were prvided with prepared meals at fixed times fr three days befre the lab experiment began.
Results shwed that hunger pangs dubled fr thse n a night-eating regime. Peple wh ate later in the day als reprted a desire fr starchy and salty fds, meat and, t a lesser extent, a desire fr dairy fds and vegetables. By lking at the results f bld tests, researchers were able t see why: Levels f leptin, a hrmne which tells us when we feel full, were decreased fr late eaters versus early eaters. In cmparisn, levels f the hrmne ghrelin, which spikes ur appetite, rse.
28. Accrding t the passage, the fllwing may cntribute t the besity except ________.
A. the breakdwn f less fat B. the increase in the levels f leptin
C. the changes in gene expressin D. the disturbance f the circadian rhythm
29. In Paragraph 4, the writer intends t ________.
A. highlight the results f the study B. demnstrate the reliability f the study
C. present the purpse f the study D. illustrate the prcess f the study
30. What des the underlined wrd “spike” in Paragraphs mst prbably mean?
A. Maintain. B. Reduce. C. Stimulate. D. Cntrl.
31. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Eating late may impact the expressin functin.
B. Obesity can be well cntrlled by eating late.
C. When yu eat is irrelevant t hw fat yu are.
D. Eating late accunts fr besity.

Plants need sunlight fr phtsynthesis（光合作用）, the prcess f absrbing energy frm light t create their wn fd frm carbn dixide and water. That's why plants grw and thrive in the warmer mnths when there is mre daylight and are drmant in the clder mnths.
But this prcess isn't particularly efficient and nly ne percent f the energy cntained in sunlight actually ends up in the plant, accrding t a news release frm the University f Califrnia, Riverside.
Nw scientists at the university have fund a way t bypass the need fr natural phtsynthesis and t
create fd by using artificial phtsynthesis. This allws plants t grw in cmplete darkness. “With ur apprach we sught t identify a new way f prducing fd that culd break thrugh the limits nrmally impsed by bilgical phtsynthesis,” crrespnding authr Rbert Jinkersn, a UCR assistant prfessr f chemical and envirnmental engineering said in the news release.
The researchers devted t artificial phtsynthesis used a tw-step electrcatalytic（电催化）—prcess t cnvert CO2, water, and electricity int acetate（醋酸盐）—the main ingredient f vinegar - that the plant rganisms cnsumed t grw. The researchers adjusted the electrlyzer, a device that uses electricity t supprt the grwth f fd prducing rganisms t cme up with the highest levels f acetate ever prduced by this methd.
The new artificial phtsynthesis methd culd be up t 18 times mre efficient than sunlight. Experiments shwed that a large range f fd prducing rganisms culd be grwn using this acetate. “We were able t grw fd prducing rganisms withut any cntributins frm bilgical phtsynthesis,” said Elizabeth Hann, a dctral candidate in the Jinkersn lab and c-lead authr f the study. “This technlgy is a mre efficient methd f turning slar energy int fd, as cmpared t fd prductin that relies n bilgical phtsynthesis,” she said.
By eliminating the need fr sunlight, the ptential f this methd t increase fd supply in regins with less- than ideal grwing cnditins is almst endless, accrding t New Atlas.
Fd will be able t be grwn almst anywhere, including in space and n ther planets. “Imagine smeday giant vessels grwing tmat plants in the dark and n Mars-hw much easier wuld that be fr future Martians?” c-authr Martha Orzc-Cardenas, directr f the UCR Plant Transfrmatin Research Center said.
While this may be years ff, the ptential t grw fd using artificial phtsynthesis has great value in feeding a hungry place where the ppulatin is grwing and arable land shrinking. This new methd increases the efficiency f fd prductin using less land and minimizes the envirnmental impact n the planet.
32. What des the underlined wrd “drmant’ in Paragraph I mst prbably mean?
A. Fresh. B. Nrmal. C. Healthy. D. Resting.
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The cntributin f natural phtsynthesis.
B. The prcess f artificial phtsynthesis.
C. The efficiency f sunlight n plant rganisms.
D. The wide range f applicatins f artificial phtsynthesis.
34. Accrding t Martha Orzc-Cardenas, artificial phtsynthesis is _______.
A. accurate B. prmising C. dangerus D. impractical
35. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Bilgical phtsynthesis can help prduce higher quality fd.
B. Bilgical phtsynthesis is mre efficient in turning slar energy int fd.
C. Using artificial phtsynthesis t grw fd can reduce envirnmental influence.
D. Using artificial phtsynthesis may decrease the efficiency f fd prductin.

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。
Cmmunin is a very difficult art. T cmmune with ne anther ver many prblems that we have requires listening and learning, which are bth very difficult t d. 36 T cmmune with each ther, we require a certain capacity, a certain way f listening—nt merely t gather infrmatin, which any schlby can d, but rather listening in rder t understand.
37 Learning is nt merely the accumulatin（积累） f knwledge. Knwledge never changes the way yu think; experience never flwers int the beauty f understanding. Mst f us listen with the backgrund f what we knw and we have experienced. Perhaps yu have never nticed the difference between the mind that really learns and the mind that merely gathers knwledge.
38 It is always translating what it hears in terms f its wn experience r in terms f the knwledge which it has gathered. It is caught up in the prcess f accumulating and adding t what it already knws, and such a mind is incapable f learning. I d nt knw if yu have nticed this. S it seems t me very imprtant that we cmmune with each ther quietly, in a dignified manner, and fr that there must be a listening and a learning.
When yu cmmune with yur wn heart, when yu cmmune with yur friend, when yu cmmune with the skies, with the stars, with the sunset, with a flwer, then surely yu are listening s as t learn. It des nt mean that yu accept r deny. 39 When yu cmmune with the sunset, with a friend, with yur wife r with yur child, yu d nt criticize, yu d nt deny r supprt, translate r identify. Yu are cmmuning. Yu are learning. Yu are searching ut. 40
I think it is imprtant t understand that a man wh accumulates can never learn. Self-learning implies a fresh and eager mind-a mind that is nt cmmitted, that des nt belng t anything and that is nt limited t any particular field. It is nly such a mind that learns.
A. The mind that is accumulating knwledge never learns.
B. Here is a persnal stry that illustrates this difference.
C. Mst f us hardly listen, and we hardly learn.
D. Hw can we make the shift frm accumulating t learning?
E. Frm this inquiry cmes the mvement f learning, which is never accumulative.
F. It seems t me f the utmst imprtance that we d listen in rder t learn.
G. Yu are learning and either acceptance r denial f what is being said puts an end t learning.

This past summer, I jined my sister's family fr their annual Adirndack vacatin in a rented cttage n a lake, the same place my family has stayed since I was a little kid. There are plenty f activities t keep everyne busy: swimming, fishing and sand castle building n the beach.
By the third day, I had nticed that my ten-year-ld niece, Jannie, had spent mst f her time watching cable TV and brwsing thrugh the gift shps in twn. Nt exactly the wilderness experience I remembered frm my yuth. S, at dinner, I tld Jannie we shuld hike t the tp f the muntain acrss the lake the fllwing mrning, which was called Rcky Pint because the peak is bare and rck-cvered.
“Well.” replied Jannie, “Tmrrw there are sme shws n the Disney Channel, s I'm ging t be pretty busy.”
“When yur mther and I used t cme here when we were yur age, we were t busy swimming and hiking up muntains.”
“Sunds mre like punishment than a vacatin.” She shrugged her shulders. “Besides, I dn't think I can walk that far.”
When I said it nly tk a half-hur f steady walking t get t the tp. She grumbled, “Fine, I'll g.” I knew she was agreeing just t shut me up, but I wuld take anything I culd get.
The next mrning was a perfect day fr a hike, with sunshine and clear skies. I gt up early and tk sme sandwiches and water bttles, which I tucked int my backpack alng with the bug spray and the camera.
Jannie came shuffling dwnstairs, sighed dramatically, rlled her eyes and annunced in a very unenthusiastic, rbt-like vice. “I'm ready t g hiking, Uncle David.” Anyway, we climbed int my car and drve t the trailhead abut ten minutes away. As we std at the edge f the parking lt and lked dwn the shaded trail that led int the wds. “I am still nt sure this is a gd idea, but if yu and Mm culd d it, I can t, I guess.”

First Aid Curse Matters
When it cmes t the first aid curse, I hld the view that it is a must fr students t be ffered sme related knwledge.
First aid is a science f giving medical care t a persn befre a dctr can be fund. If quickly and crrectly given, it can save a persn's life. Hwever, nly thse with the right knwledge can perfrm first aid, s I suggest that ur schl shuld prvide specific instructin n hw t treat drwning, bleeding, chking, burns, cuts and traffic accidents. Mre imprtantly, invlvement with the cmmunity is encuraged, which ffers pprtunities fr students t apply their skills thrugh vlunteering r cmmunity events.
I'm cnvinced that the curse will be well received.
读后续写参考范文：
Fr the mment she was determined t start ur jurney. Abut 200 yards int the frest, the trail began t climb a steep slpe. I pinted ut sme rarely-seen trees and flwering plants, which I explained were endangered species. She didn't share my enthusiasm. She was thirsty, tired, sweaty and bred. I handed her the water bttle as she sat n a fallen lg and tk a break. “Yu knw, I think we're almst t the tp,” I tld her. “Yu already said that three times, and we're nt there yet.” she replied. She grumbled anther cmplain as we cntinued n. She might nt have been happy, but at least I was prud that she had the determinatin nt t quit befre we reached the tp.
A while later we did make it t the tp. Jannie lked up, nticing we were n lnger under the trees. When she stpped, lked arund and saw where we were, her jaw drpped, her eyes pened wide and she shuted: “Oh, I dn't believe it. We're n tp f the wrld. It's awesme!” A refreshing breeze brushed the muntaintp, nt a clud was in the sky and miles and miles f trees and lakes spread ut belw us. We sat n a large rck and tk it in the view, while eating ur sandwiches and pinting ut islands and rads and, f curse, the cttage where we were staying. It had taken us almst an hur t make the climb, but it was wrth it.

When the need fr infrmatin technlgy service arises, it can be a stressful mment—the user is lcked ut f their cmputer, r a prgram isn't wrking prperly. But if yu ask anyne in the MIT departments f Chemistry and Physics, r the News Office— the Institute divisins that are frtunate enugh t have Greg Waltn as their IT service prvider, they'll acknwledge that nt nly is Waltn the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it thrugh until all invlved are satisfied with the utcme. Waltn usually arrives n the scene with endless psitive energy that transfrms a technical annyance int an enjyable interactin, regardless f hw many ther IT fires he has already put ut that day.
The qualities that make him a star emplyee extend far beynd the campus. After spending his early years in fster care, Waltn lived with his great-grandmther, but mstly, he was left t supprt himself. While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Waltn excelled academically and athletically at high schl. He became the first persn in his family t graduate frm high schl, and enrlled in cllege.
Waltn seized the chance t enrll in Year Up, a prgram aiming t clse the “pprtunity divide” by prviding yung adults with the skills, experience, and supprt that will empwer them t reach their ptential thrugh prfessinal careers and higher educatin. Waltn remains an active ambassadr fr the rganizatin.
In June f 2007, armed with shining recmmendatins, Waltn was hired as a temp（临时工） at MIT. He eventually wrked his way up t where he is tday — an invaluable asset （不可或缺的人） t three departments. “I d feel lucky t wrk at MIT,” he says. “I've had the ability t tur the cuntry sharing my stry in hpes that sme peple may be inspired and emplyers may see yung adults with tugh backgrunds differently.”
In additin t Year Up, he is invlved with a number f rganizatins cmmitted t helping yung adults vercme their trubled pasts. This desire t have a psitive impact n peple's lives extends seamlessly int his wrk at MIT. “Giving back is very imprtant t me,” Waltn says. ‘S many peple have invested their time and energy int helping me, s I feel it wuld be an injustice nt t d s.”
24. Staff members in MIT sing high praise fr Waltn mainly because _______.
A. he enjys interacting with his clients
B. he knws hw t put ut fires fr thers
C. he is gd at develping cmputer prgrams
D. he slves prblems with a psitive attitude
25. What d we knw abut Waltn befre he went t cllege?
A. He std ut in study and sprts in high schl.
B. He depended n his great-grandma fr a living.
C. He lay flat just like ther unsupervised children.
D. He was supprted by fster care fr better educatin.
26. Why did Waltn get invlved with a lt f rganizatins?
A. T share his trubled past with yung adults.
B. T advise businesses t treat yung adults fairly.
C. T pay back t sciety by helping yung adults.
D. T prmte educatin equality amng yung adults.
27. What can we cnclude frm Waltn's stry?
A. One gd turn deserves anther.
B. Opprtunities favr the prepared mind.
C. One's future is defined by his effrts, nt by his rigin.
D. Educatin is a pwerful weapn t change the wrld.

We all knw that eating later in the day isn't gd fr ur waistlines, but why? A new study weighed in n that questin by cmparing peple wh ate the same fds —but at different times in the day.
“We fund that eating fur hurs later makes a significant difference fr ur hunger levels, the way we burn calries after we eat, and the way we stre fat,” Vujvic said, a researcher at Bstn's Brigham and Wmen's Hspital. “Tgether, these changes may explain why late eating is assciated with increased besity risk reprted by ther studies and prvide new bilgical insight int the underlying mechanisms.” The study prvides supprt fr the cncept that circadian（生理节奏） rhythm, which influences key physilgic functins such as bdy temperature and heart rate, affects hw ur bdies absrb fuel, researchers said.
The study des shw eating later results in “an increase in hunger, impacts hrmnes（荷尔蒙） and als changes gene expressin, especially in terms f fat metablism with a tendency twards less fat breakdwn and mre fat depsitin,” said Dr. Bhanu Prakash Klla, a prfessr f psychiatry and psychlgy at the May Clinic Cllege f Medicine and a cnsultant t May's Center fr Sleep Medicine and Divisin f Addictin Medicine.
The study was small—nly 16 verweight r bese peple-but carefully planned t eliminate ther ptential causes f weight gain, the authrs said. “While there have been ther studies investigating why late eating assciates with an increased risk fr besity, this may be the mst well cntrlled, including strictly cntrlling the amunt, cmpsitin and timing f meals, physical activity, sleep, rm temperature and light expsure,” said senir authr Frank Scheer, directr f the Medical Chrnbilgy Prgram in the Brigham's Divisin f Sleep and Circadian Disrders. AI participants were in gd health, with n histry f diabetes r shift wrk, which can affect circadian rhythm, and had regular physical activity. Each persn in the study kept t a strict healthy sleep/wake schedule fr abut three weeks and were prvided with prepared meals at fixed times fr three days befre the lab experiment began.
Results shwed that hunger pangs dubled fr thse n a night-eating regime. Peple wh ate later in the day als reprted a desire fr starchy and salty fds, meat and, t a lesser extent, a desire fr dairy fds and vegetables. By lking at the results f bld tests, researchers were able t see why: Levels f leptin, a hrmne which tells us when we feel full, were decreased fr late eaters versus early eaters. In cmparisn, levels f the hrmne ghrelin, which spikes ur appetite, rse.
28. Accrding t the passage, the fllwing may cntribute t the besity except ________.
A. the breakdwn f less fat B. the increase in the levels f leptin
C. the changes in gene expressin D. the disturbance f the circadian rhythm
29. In Paragraph 4, the writer intends t ________.
A. highlight the results f the study B. demnstrate the reliability f the study
C. present the purpse f the study D. illustrate the prcess f the study
30. What des the underlined wrd “spike” in Paragraphs mst prbably mean?
A. Maintain. B. Reduce. C. Stimulate. D. Cntrl.
31. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Eating late may impact the expressin functin.
B. Obesity can be well cntrlled by eating late.

Plants need sunlight fr phtsynthesis（光合作用）, the prcess f absrbing energy frm light t create their wn fd frm carbn dixide and water. That's why plants grw and thrive in the warmer mnths when there is mre daylight and are drmant in the clder mnths.
But this prcess isn't particularly efficient and nly ne percent f the energy cntained in sunlight actually ends up in the plant, accrding t a news release frm the University f Califrnia, Riverside.
Nw scientists at the university have fund a way t bypass the need fr natural phtsynthesis and t
create fd by using artificial phtsynthesis. This allws plants t grw in cmplete darkness. “With ur apprach we sught t identify a new way f prducing fd that culd break thrugh the limits nrmally impsed by bilgical phtsynthesis,” crrespnding authr Rbert Jinkersn, a UCR assistant prfessr f chemical and envirnmental engineering said in the news release.
The researchers devted t artificial phtsynthesis used a tw-step electrcatalytic（电催化）—prcess t cnvert CO2, water, and electricity int acetate（醋酸盐）—the main ingredient f vinegar - that the plant rganisms cnsumed t grw. The researchers adjusted the electrlyzer, a device that uses electricity t supprt the grwth f fd prducing rganisms t cme up with the highest levels f acetate ever prduced by this methd.
The new artificial phtsynthesis methd culd be up t 18 times mre efficient than sunlight. Experiments shwed that a large range f fd prducing rganisms culd be grwn using this acetate. “We were able t grw fd prducing rganisms withut any cntributins frm bilgical phtsynthesis,” said Elizabeth Hann, a dctral candidate in the Jinkersn lab and c-lead authr f the study. “This technlgy is a mre efficient methd f turning slar energy int fd, as cmpared t fd prductin that relies n bilgical phtsynthesis,” she said.
By eliminating the need fr sunlight, the ptential f this methd t increase fd supply in regins with less- than ideal grwing cnditins is almst endless, accrding t New Atlas.
Fd will be able t be grwn almst anywhere, including in space and n ther planets. “Imagine smeday giant vessels grwing tmat plants in the dark and n Mars-hw much easier wuld that be fr future Martians?” c-authr Martha Orzc-Cardenas, directr f the UCR Plant Transfrmatin Research Center said.
While this may be years ff, the ptential t grw fd using artificial phtsynthesis has great value in feeding a hungry place where the ppulatin is grwing and arable land shrinking. This new methd increases the efficiency f fd prductin using less land and minimizes the envirnmental impact n the planet.
32. What des the underlined wrd “drmant’ in Paragraph I mst prbably mean?
A. Fresh. B. Nrmal. C. Healthy. D. Resting.
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The cntributin f natural phtsynthesis.
B. The prcess f artificial phtsynthesis.
C. The efficiency f sunlight n plant rganisms.
D. The wide range f applicatins f artificial phtsynthesis.
34. Accrding t Martha Orzc-Cardenas, artificial phtsynthesis is _______.
A. accurate B. prmising C. dangerus D. impractical
35. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Bilgical phtsynthesis can help prduce higher quality fd.
B. Bilgical phtsynthesis is mre efficient in turning slar energy int fd.
C. Using artificial phtsynthesis t grw fd can reduce envirnmental influence.
D. Using artificial phtsynthesis may decrease the efficiency f fd prductin.

Cmmunin is a very difficult art. T cmmune with ne anther ver many prblems that we have requires listening and learning, which are bth very difficult t d. 36 T cmmune with each ther, we require a certain capacity, a certain way f listening—nt merely t gather infrmatin, which any schlby can d, but rather listening in rder t understand.
37 Learning is nt merely the accumulatin（积累） f knwledge. Knwledge never changes the way yu think; experience never flwers int the beauty f understanding. Mst f us listen with the backgrund f what we knw and we have experienced. Perhaps yu have never nticed the difference between the mind that really learns and the mind that merely gathers knwledge.
38 It is always translating what it hears in terms f its wn experience r in terms f the knwledge which it has gathered. It is caught up in the prcess f accumulating and adding t what it already knws, and such a mind is incapable f learning. I d nt knw if yu have nticed this. S it seems t me very imprtant that we cmmune with each ther quietly, in a dignified manner, and fr that there must be a listening and a learning.
When yu cmmune with yur wn heart, when yu cmmune with yur friend, when yu cmmune with the skies, with the stars, with the sunset, with a flwer, then surely yu are listening s as t learn. It des nt mean that yu accept r deny. 39 When yu cmmune with the sunset, with a friend, with yur wife r with yur child, yu d nt criticize, yu d nt deny r supprt, translate r identify. Yu are cmmuning. Yu are learning. Yu are searching ut. 40
I think it is imprtant t understand that a man wh accumulates can never learn. Self-learning implies a fresh and eager mind-a mind that is nt cmmitted, that des nt belng t anything and that is nt limited t any particular field. It is nly such a mind that learns.
A. The mind that is accumulating knwledge never learns.
B. Here is a persnal stry that illustrates this difference.
C. Mst f us hardly listen, and we hardly learn.
D. Hw can we make the shift frm accumulating t learning?
E. Frm this inquiry cmes the mvement f learning, which is never accumulative.
F. It seems t me f the utmst imprtance that we d listen in rder t learn.
G. Yu are learning and either acceptance r denial f what is being said puts an end t learning.

This past summer, I jined my sister's family fr their annual Adirndack vacatin in a rented cttage n a lake, the same place my family has stayed since I was a little kid. There are plenty f activities t keep everyne busy: swimming, fishing and sand castle building n the beach.
By the third day, I had nticed that my ten-year-ld niece, Jannie, had spent mst f her time watching cable TV and brwsing thrugh the gift shps in twn. Nt exactly the wilderness experience I remembered frm my yuth. S, at dinner, I tld Jannie we shuld hike t the tp f the muntain acrss the lake the fllwing mrning, which was called Rcky Pint because the peak is bare and rck-cvered.
“Well.” replied Jannie, “Tmrrw there are sme shws n the Disney Channel, s I'm ging t be pretty busy.”
“When yur mther and I used t cme here when we were yur age, we were t busy swimming and hiking up muntains.”
“Sunds mre like punishment than a vacatin.” She shrugged her shulders. “Besides, I dn't think I can walk that far.”
When I said it nly tk a half-hur f steady walking t get t the tp. She grumbled, “Fine, I'll g.” I knew she was agreeing just t shut me up, but I wuld take anything I culd get.
The next mrning was a perfect day fr a hike, with sunshine and clear skies. I gt up early and tk sme sandwiches and water bttles, which I tucked int my backpack alng with the bug spray and the camera.
Jannie came shuffling dwnstairs, sighed dramatically, rlled her eyes and annunced in a very unenthusiastic, rbt-like vice. “I'm ready t g hiking, Uncle David.” Anyway, we climbed int my car and drve t the trailhead abut ten minutes away. As we std at the edge f the parking lt and lked dwn the shaded trail that led int the wds. “I am still nt sure this is a gd idea, but if yu and Mm culd d it, I can t, I guess.”

First Aid Curse Matters
When it cmes t the first aid curse, I hld the view that it is a must fr students t be ffered sme related knwledge.
First aid is a science f giving medical care t a persn befre a dctr can be fund. If quickly and crrectly given, it can save a persn's life. Hwever, nly thse with the right knwledge can perfrm first aid, s I suggest that ur schl shuld prvide specific instructin n hw t treat drwning, bleeding, chking, burns, cuts and traffic accidents. Mre imprtantly, invlvement with the cmmunity is encuraged, which ffers pprtunities fr students t apply their skills thrugh vlunteering r cmmunity events.
I'm cnvinced that the curse will be well received.

Fr the mment she was determined t start ur jurney. Abut 200 yards int the frest, the trail began t climb a steep slpe. I pinted ut sme rarely-seen trees and flwering plants, which I explained were endangered species. She didn't share my enthusiasm. She was thirsty, tired, sweaty and bred. I handed her the water bttle as she sat n a fallen lg and tk a break. “Yu knw, I think we're almst t the tp,” I tld her. “Yu already said that three times, and we're nt there yet.” she replied. She grumbled anther cmplain as we cntinued n. She might nt have been happy, but at least I was prud that she had the determinatin nt t quit befre we reached the tp.
A while later we did make it t the tp. Jannie lked up, nticing we were n lnger under the trees. When she stpped, lked arund and saw where we were, her jaw drpped, her eyes pened wide and she shuted: “Oh, I dn't believe it. We're n tp f the wrld. It's awesme!” A refreshing breeze brushed the muntaintp, nt a clud was in the sky and miles and miles f trees and lakes spread ut belw us. We sat n a large rck and tk it in the view, while eating ur sandwiches and pinting ut islands and rads and, f curse, the cttage where we were staying. It had taken us almst an hur t make the climb, but it was wrth it.
