With the rapid development of short videos, their widespread use has become a major trend. A recent study surveyed 1,557 Chinese people about their short video-watching habits. It found that people may be so immersed(沉迷的) in short videos that they cannot stop watching them.
①On Sept.7, famous Chinese archaeologist(考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.
②Called the" daughter of Dunhuang", her story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25- year- old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves.
③" Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth," Fan told Gansu Daily.
④Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals(壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan's team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology.
⑤As time passed. Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. Something needed to be done to protect Dunhuang's heritage.
⑥In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance. She realized that this might protect the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics(文物) there, allowing Dunhuang's art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.
⑦" In my whole life, I've only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves," she told People's Daily." My heart belongs to Dunhuang."
① Does a lake on fire sound impossible? If you think that water can't burn, you need to leam more about pollution.
②Let's go and see Bellandur Lake in the city of Bengaluru in India. Bengaluru is the center for many heavy industries. Electrical and electronic goods, computer parts and parts for planes and space rockets are produced there. Much of the waste from these and a large amount of the wastewater from local people run into the lake.
③ These harmful mixed things have led the lake to become covered with a thick white foam(泡沫) that looks like snow when seen from far away. When the level of the water rises, the foam does too and covers nearby areas, even roads. When a fire breaks out on the lake, it is both frightening and dangerous. People who live or work near the lake also get seriously ill because of the pollution.
④ Th e fire has drawn a great deal of attention recently, but burning lakes are nothing new. Pollution mainly happens in developing countries like India today. In the past, it mainly took place in Europe and America. Cuyahoga River, a river in America, had caught fire at least 13 times. The fire that caused the most attention was in 1969 when oil-covered areas on the river were set on fire by sparks(火花) from a passing train. The fire reached a height of over five floors and burned for about half an hour. By that time, people in America were more aware of its dangers and wanted to change.
⑤As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) was founded in 1970 and the Clean Water Act(1972) was put into use. This Act required all rivers throughout America be clean enough to safely allow swimmers and fish to pass through by 1983. Due to these efforts, the Cuyahoga River has never had another fire and over 60 different species of fish live in the river.
⑥ If history is a guide, will it be possible for people in India to bring an end to the pollution by changing the laws in their country, too? Like many nations, it's necessary to raise awareness of environmental protection among the general public. All of us must act!

① Wh y do we do the things we do? What drives our behavior? Researchers have suggested different ways of thinking about motivation(动机), including looking at whether motivation comes from outside or inside a person.
② Extrinsic(外来的) motivation is when you decide to do something because you want to get a reward or avoid punishment. Intrinsic(内在的) motivation is when you do something because you find it enjoyable. The behavior itself is its own reward.
③ There are many advantages of intrinsic motivation. Firstly, it's lasting. It makes people willing to face challenges and work hard to achieve their goals. Besides, people with intrinsic motivation have a greater sense of satisfaction.
④ Most people think intrinsic motivation is best, but it is not always possible in every situation. Sometimes a person has an unpleasant task and he may not have internal(内部的) wish to complete it. That's when we need extrinsic motivation. But studies have shown that offering too many external(外部的) reward can reduce intrinsic motivation. For example, in a study, they became less interested in the toys.
⑤ Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning. Experts have argued that traditional education pays too much attention to external rewards, such as grades. This undermines the intrinsic motivation that students might already have. However, others have suggested that extrinsic motivation can help students feel more knowledgeable in class. It helps to build up their intrinsic motivation.
⑥ Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people complete tasks and improve their learning.
Friends are very important in people's lives. Just as a saying goes, I think it's very easy to make friends with other people and build a friendship between each other. However, it is not easy to get true friendship, I think. So what is true friendship? In my opinion, true friendship includes:
First of all, true friendship must treat their friends loyally and help each other. In other words, you must not take advantage of your friends, For example, some unfriendly people make friends in order to cheat money and feelings, or get a certain secret. I don't think these are true friendships.
Second, For example, if a friend is really in need of money to escape(逃避) from some troubles, true friends might lend it and help him or her.
Third, One of the greatest men once said, "If you tell your happiness to your friend, you will get double happiness. If you tell your sadness to your friend, you will get half. "
A. friends must share their happiness and sadness. B. but you can borrow a lot of things from them. C. and you mustn't cheat them. D. true friends must try their best to help each other. E. no one can live alone in the world without friends. |
