9、g about their fantastic trips. Then, my Greek best friend Jason reminded me of our promise: to visit his hometown in Athens.Before long, I found myself on a plane flying over an ocean Id never crossed, excited but worried about what would happen once we landed. The long wait proved worth it. Every s

10、tep through the ancient streets of Athens brought new wonders. However, what I experienced later changed my thoughts of travel.While we were walking, a strange sound caught our attention, and broke the quietness of the street. Curious, we followed the sound. Around the corner, rose a simple workshop

11、 its roof covered with traditional bricks and the door rolled up high. Inside, common tools shone with uncommon beauty. A heavy silence filled the air as time slowed down, giving me the space to notice every little detail.Lost in his work, the welder (焊工) paid no attention to us. All that was visibl

12、e was his short hair and the body hardened by years spent at the workshop. His hands expertly worked the metal as if he were a magician creating sparks and flames. As the man continued, I was full of admiration. I admired his peace and satisfaction. I longed for the simplicity he showed. The moment

13、moved me to tears. The sight was more attractive than any ancient building or artistic masterpiece.Since returning back home, I look for meaning not in the grand (宏伟的), but in the simplest of moments the ordinary made extraordinary.

17、biking without a helmet (头盔), going through the woods to the beach, walking all over my neighborhood at any time of day or night, without any fear or concern. Unfortunately, for our children, the lifestyle we enjoyed no longer exists. The way we were able to play and relate to others has changed gre

18、atly. There is more traffic, and there are simply more people and fewer connections, even among neighbors. Therefore, helmets, sunscreen, life jackets are required nowadays because they keep our children safe. And when my son and his friends fell off their bikes, I was grateful that their heads were

19、 protected.The facts about anxiety in children are clear. In my opinion, anxiety in children comes from overscheduling, and ignorance of a childs interests by parents. Parents spend less and less time with their kids and expect more and more out of them. Moms and Dads, put your cellphones down and b

20、uild castles with your child. Let your kid frost a cookie without instructing him on what color it should be, where the eyes go and not to “mess it up”.

27、athing in the increasing pollution and dealing with global warming. Dr. Abdul Latif Mohamad, a professor at University Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM), said genetically modified(转基因)flowers might be the way out.Latif said UKM might have offered reasons as to why some insects were not spreading flower seeds

28、, which was caused by the missing “scent track” due to global warming. “The scent producing chemical mixture in flowers dry up faster now compared with before.” The only way out, he said, was to genetically modify the flowers so that the effects would not be everlasting and the future generation wou

29、ld enjoy natures beauty. “The act is almost like producing oils from flowers.

Many people mistakenly think that loneliness can be ended by having more friends or by meeti

35、ng new people. 16 So what causes loneliness and why do so many people experience it right after graduation? 17 Some of the main characteristics of a close relationship are common interests, openness and common life challenges.

You can either share your new problems with your old friends and make sure you listen

38、to theirs or you can make more friends at your new job to share with them whats going on in your new stage of life. 20 When you do so, stick to them, share your problems with them and you will never feel lonely.AWhat happens to the same group after graduation?BLoneliness can never appear in such an
