Last night’s meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city‘s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. ―My family was so frustrated,‖ admitted town resident Duane Cosby, ―We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing,but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.‖ Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it. There is yet a population besides professional and

amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds,batsfrogs,snakes,etc. For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly,people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings,but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans,too.

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words. For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do:thefastest,shortest easiest road,especially when ai was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything. Road trips felt risky,so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner,our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband,or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me. That is how I found my self on the road with four kids,a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour,let Banner shke out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They‘d get back in the car breathless and energized,smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out of the water,it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life.And new horizons(见识). We eventually arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away

and read my book in sweet silence.

When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer the older we get. For kids,happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的). In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party. In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love,marriage,birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.Foradults,happiness is complicated(复杂的) My definition fo happiness is ―the capacity for enjoyment‖.The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It‘s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even goo health. I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love.When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don‘t think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her. We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we‘ve got to have.We‘ve so self-conscious about our ―right‖ to it that it‘s making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren‘t necessarily happier Happiness isn‘t about what happens to us----it‘s about how we see what happens to us.It‘s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It‘s not wishing for what we don‘t have,but enjoying what we do possess.

A.feel it harder to experience happiness B.associate their happiness less with others C.will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D.tend to believe responsibility means happiness 52.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?

My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class.I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity. I couldn‘t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.Thatafternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached. ―Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone‘s mind...‖ Five months later, my mon received a phone call,and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by thestars,theplanets,the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She‘d tell me stories and point out the stars,Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there, yet there was so much I didn‘t know about them.That‘s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares.My answer is simple because we‘ re curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what‘s over the hill and beyond the horizon. A. How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?( no more than 10 words) B. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?( no more than 10 words)
C. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?( no more than 15 words) D. What does the underlined phrase ―hole up‖mean?(1 word)
E. In your opinion,why is curiosity important?( no more than 20 words)

I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to．\Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her: But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there．\．\sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister．‖

Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy?

A recent New York Times \．Every wall in his home is transparent; he has no walls to hide behind, not even in the bathroom．Of course, he lives in a remote area where he doesn't exactly have neighbors looking in and watching his every move．But he has chosen to live without any physical privacy in a home that allows every action to be seen．He has created his own panopticon of sorts．
The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was describing an idea for how prisons should be designed．The prisoners' cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the middle．All
