We get fog sometimes, but thats all. Oxford is much smaller than L.A. We only have about 135,000 people. I looked up the 1900 population, it was about 57,000. So it is about twice as many people, not ten times as many, like L.A.! Oxford is much smaller than LondonLondon has about 7,000,000 people. So that means that L.A. has more people than London. L.A. gets hotter than Oxford. We have colder winters tooit can be -4C in winter.Im not surprised that your new student only knew about the university. It is famous because it is one of the oldest universities in the country. There are about 18,000 students. The brother of my best friend is at Aberystwyth University, in Wales. There the population is 14,000 and half of that are students! It must be a strange place to live! There are more tourists in Oxford than students, I should think. We get a lot of tourists, all year round. We also get a lot of young foreign students because there are a lot of language schools here.

When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you cant get online with your computer.What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm（太阳风暴）might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.A solar storm is caused by solar flares（太阳耀斑）: large explosions（爆炸）near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（卫星系统）that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentines Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what weve seen in the past. Were not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.” SolarStormW, a US website about space weather, warned.Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm.

Here is some of his advice to young people:“One suggestion Id like to give you is that its important to do what you like without fear of failure. And the process（过程）of working toward your dreams matters more than the results. Young people should take chances to show off talents. Take competitions like this one as an example: If you are afraid to fail, youll never get the chance to stand on the stage and make a speech. Above all, its most important to take part.Another suggestion I want to give you is to read books. It is not easy to keep reading every day. For me, it is much more difficult and challenging to keep reading and taking notes every day than it is to walk 10,000 steps.”In his speech, Yu also shared his view on life. He chose a different life rather than a more successful one. He uses the famous lines of American poet Robert Frost (18741963) to make his point:“Two roads diverged (分叉) in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”Yu pointed out, “Your happiness should not be what others think you should run after, but instead you should decide what it is. It is you who should make choices for your own life.”Yu Minhongs speech to young peopleHis advice He thinks the process is more _than results, so young people should take chances to show off their_. He also suggests that we should read books. Its _to keep reading all the time.His views on life Yu prefers a different life _a more successful one. He says that your happiness should be decided by _instead of what others think.27. （5分）完成表格。阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。After you get back home from a trip, one of the most pleasant things is sharing your stories with people.
