9、es, but they were gone. He drove back to the church, but his search turned out to be fruitless.Suddenly, he realized what happened.

11、 the churches that helped him in Egypt, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. “But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, I had just broken my glasses. Then your boxes arrived. To my surprise, I found a pai

12、r of glasses in it and it fit me very well!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses, but thought that the man must have confused their church with another.

15、 not interested in the directors speechBAfter a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France. Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting n

16、ext to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled

17、 him. ”Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends. So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside wi

18、thout taking my phone with me. Ive noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. Ive met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didnt speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone. Instead of keeping me off

In the books of J.R.R. Tolkein, Bilbo Baggins finds a ring that can make him disappear. Of course, theres also po

23、or Harry Potter, who used his invisibility cloak (隐形斗篷) to hide from danger. Now that youve got some ideas, its time for the hard part: building the cloak. To do that, you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science. An invisibility cloak has to cheat anything or anyone who might be wat

24、ching. In order to understand how something can be seen, its important to understand how we see. Human beings can only see objects that reflect (反射) light waves. These waves enter the eye and are then processed by the brain. However, if an object doesnt reflect light, then the waves dont enter the e

25、ye, and the brain doesnt process. So building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesnt reflect light. Cummer was part of a team of scientists from Duke University, including David Smith and David Schurig, who built the worlds first version (版本) of an invisibility cloak. They had been

26、inspired by the work of a British physicist, John Pendry. He in May said that an invisibility cloak was possible and Pendry was not the only one thinking about a disappearing act. At the same time, a Scottish physicist, UIf Leonhardt published a paper on building invisibility equipment. “It wasnt ea

27、sy,” says Cummer. “As often happens in science and research, it didnt work very well the first time. That first cloak didnt work like Harry Potters - the scientists didnt actually see anything disappear. So the research is still under way. ” 29. The first two paragraphs serve as a (n) _.

30、urn Science Fiction into Real ScienceDAt heart, parents always wish the best for their children, and they work hard for that. Nowadays, we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the baby is even born. Once kids start going to school, some parents want to have a time-to-time up

31、date of their kid's activities.

32、 extra hobby classes, as they want their children to do best in every field.When it comes to the education, super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they have come up with the best.

33、in some cases, it may happen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents sometimes don't even consider the choice of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life. It's good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions to them.So what shou

34、ld the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patient and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and make them understand what you want to do and why. Many times,
