Everybody wants it, everybody works for it, and nobody can live without it. What is it? Money, of course! How often people ask us, “Will you go on holiday this summer? Will you buy this? Will you do that? ” And very often the answer is , “It all depends…” It all depends what? “It all depends” always means, “If I have enough money, I shall…”. Not only your simplest needs, but our wildest dreams are often connected with money . “If I win the national lottery(彩票), I shall…” Some people think it is the root of all evil, others think it will solve all the world's problems. Both sides agree there is never enough of it. Of course money isn't an answer to everything. You can't buy love or happiness, for example. But as someone said. “If you are going to be unhappy, it is easier to be unhappy in comfort.”
Though thousands of adventurers have climbed up Mount Everest, the highest and most famous of the world's 14 tallest mountains, only 40 climbers have conquered them all. Nepalese mountaineer Purja became one of them after he reached the 8028-meter peak of China's Mt. Shishapangma on October 29, 2019. Purja made the extraordinary achievement in just six months and six days, much faster than late South Korean climber Kim Chang-ho's 2013 record of seven years, ten months, and six days.
“I am incredibly excited and proud to have reached this final peak and achieved my goal of climbing the world's 14 tallest mountains in record time,” Purja said. “It was extremely hard during the six months, and I hope to have proven that anything is possible with some determination, self-belief, and positivity.”
Purja's “Project Possible” started becoming a reality on April 23, 2019, when he successfully peaked Nepal's 8091 meters tall Mt. Annapurna. The climber then rapidly completed the next five mountains, including Mt. Everest, within only four weeks! Five more peaks were conquered in July and the last three during September and October.
The adventurer, who was joined by teams of Nepalese climbers on each of his adventures, encountered many memorable and critical moments. On April 23, 2019, while going down Mt. Annapurna, Purja and his team heard about a Malaysian climber who had been separated from his group with no food, water, or oxygen for over 40 hours. They managed to find him and got him airlifted to a hospital. On May 15, 2019, Purja's team similarly helped three trapped climbers on Mt. Kanchenjunga by giving them oxygen.
Purja said his primary purpose for undertaking this enormous task was to show the world that anyone can attain greatness if they put their minds to it. “By achieving this goal, I knew I could inspire people from all generations across the world,” he said.
We recognize our friends' faces. And we're not alone. Many social animals can identify individuals of their own species by features of their faces. That's important, because they need to be able to change their behavior depending on who they meet. And a recent research has shown that some species of monkeys, birds, and domesticated (家养的) animals can even tell different faces apart by looking at photographs alone.
Ethologist Léa Lansade of the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment did an experiment to find out how well horses can recognize individual people in photographs.
She and her team first taught the horses how to “choose” between two side-by-side pictures by touching their noses to a computer screen. The horses were then shown photos of their present keeper alongside faces of unfamiliar humans. They had never seen photos of any of the people before. The horses correctly identified their current keeper and ignored (忽视) the stranger's face about 75%of the time. In fact, even though the horses didn't get it right every single time, they were at least as correct in picking out their earlier keeper as they were at identifying their present one.
The results suggest that not only can horses differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar human faces, they also naturally understand that photographs are two dimensional representations (二维呈现) of real life, without any other intimations such as smell or sound. And they're even better at this than our oldest animal parter, the domestic dog.
In addition, horses seem to have a strong long-term memory for human faces, like their long lifespan and history of domestication. In future experiments, the researchers would like to test whether looking at photos of people that they have had bad experiences with in the past might cause horses to act anxious or even avoidance. So maybe think twice before doing anything that might give a horse a long face.
For most of us, stress is a reality and learning how to deal with it is very important in our growth. After all, stress goes hand in hand with change, and our life is all about change.
We all behave a bit differently according to different types of stress. Here are some helpful tips to help you.
Eat right. Research shows snack foods are the worst things to have when you're stressed. Besides, they are not the best way to keep healthy.
Get moving. Most of our everyday stress is related to school, work, or a host of emotional issues. When we're under a lot of stress, our bodies can develop a lot of muscle tension. Regular exercise can help you relax and feel better.
Essays won't write themselves, and good grades require hard work. Don't think much about the bad things. Give yourself credit where you can improve yourself. Stress is a clear sign of worry, but it doesn't mean your situation is hopeless.
Speak up. The breakup of your favorite rock band isn't the end of the world, but sometimes life does throw some real problems at you. But don't let the stress eat you up. If you're feeling seriously depressed and unable to keep up with school and life, speak to a family member or your doctor.
A. Stay positive.
B. Talk to a trusted friend.
C. People could not think clearly when under stress.
D. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels.
E. There's simply no way to get rid of stress completely.
F. However, a bit of physical activity can help us work it off.
G. Sure, everyone likes a little comfort food, but you'll need a balanced diet.
The Best Love
I have been married to Scott for 20 years. He has115 pounds. Once a marathon runner, he now runs only down2halls. His hair is becoming less and his body shows the3of long working hours and too many candy bars.
When my friend asked me "What will make this love last?" I ran through all the obvious4: responsibility, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication. Yet there's more. We still have fun. Last Saturday at the grocery, we split the shopping5 and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first.We6being together.
There is understanding I understand why he must play basketball with the guys. And he understands why, once a year, I must get away from the house to7my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.
There is sharing. Not only do we8household worries and parental burdens—we also share9.Once, Scott sent me a thick historical novel.10he prefers thrillers(惊险小说) and science fiction, he had read the novel first. He11my heart when he explained it was because he wanted to be able to12ideas about the book after I'd read it.
There is forgiveness. When I'm embarrassingly loud and13at parties, Scott forgives me. When he admitted14some of our savings in the stock market, I gave him a hug and said, "It's nothing15. It's only money."
Finally there is sensitivity. Last week he came home and told me about a 60-year-old woman who'd had a stroke(中风) and would probably never16? He wept as he recalled the woman's17standing beside her bed, holding her hand. I18too. Because it was of the medical crisis. Because there were still people who have been married 40 years. Because my husband is still moved and19after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.
I guess we've got what it20to make our love last.
