I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possibl

19、e.After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Childrens Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids medical needs and teach math and English.Those first few weeks were hard, harder tha

20、n anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good?One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed

21、 hard. The chair wouldnt move.All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward.The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight.

22、When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.”That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club.And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them.

27、 structure at risk, economists have come up with a new solution: put a price tag on it. Australias Great Barrier Reef is bigger than Japan, visible from space and one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth. But its also at risk because of climate change, agricultural runoff, coastal development and

28、 illegal fishing.Debate over its use is often polarized between strict protection and open development: champions of the former argue for its huge value and the latter very little. Thats partly why the Great Barrier Reef Foundation asked Deloitte Access Economics to value it. It came up with a value

29、 of AU $ 56 billion (US $ 43 billion) based on an asset supporting tens of thousands of jobs and which contributes AU $ 6.4 billion to the economy.“Valuing nature in monetary terms can effectively inform policy settings and help industry, government, the scientific community and the wider public und

30、erstand the contribution of the environment . to the economy and society,” the Deloitte report said. To assess the risks, scientists have been exposing coral communities to future ocean temperatures and carbon dioxide levels over long periods. The results show how the precious services to the ecosys

31、tem that reefs provide will change as the oceans get warmer. And thats a direct threat to the regions economy.But the need to protect the Great Barrier Reef goes beyond dollars and cents.

35、icks away. Yet, the live concert lives on. People still fill sweaty basements to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why.Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together. They are also dynamic artists can adapt their p

36、laying according to the crowds reaction.It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, from Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the experiment, participants lay in an MRI (核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones, while

37、a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participants real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the bra

38、in that process emotions.

40、te different from the recorded tracks, which may have driven some of the differences in participants brain activity. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate the real concert experience with everything but the artist ABBA Voyage is a social, immersive show performed entirely by pre-recorded hologra

But without Bennys (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room, it will never quite match the real thing.32What caused the scientists to study music listeners brain response?APeoples preference to recorded music.BThe important social function of concerts.CThe changea

Perfectionist! Arent you tired? I have some breaking news. You dont have to be perfect all the time. The truth is,

45、 sometimes good enough is good enough. And you can relax a little bit. 36 1. Dont jump to judgment.We tend to focus on whats going wrong in our work and lives over whats going right. 37 So you dont have to be so eager to put yourself down as a parent, employee, student, friend. Instead, just accept

46、yourself as you are and focus on what is good.2. Question your thinking.What is perfect, anyway? Its so subjective. Whos to say what the perfect weight, job, relationship or birthday party is? Its up to you. Its not what someone else does, has or delivers. 38 The answer is probably less difficult th

If you can learn to experience every moment as a constant unfolding of the wonderful presence of your life, 39 Youll actually taste your food. Youll laugh more. Youll be easier on yourself about burning the chicken or paying the bill a day late. 4. 40 They dont. Were all just doing our best. And no one is doing anything perfectly.
