22、 The peak of Mount Everest is the highest point in the world, which extends 29,029 feet (8,840 meters) above sea level. On Earth, mountains can’t grow much higher than Mount Everest. So what stops our planet’s mountains from growing forever?
“There are two major reasons for that,” said Nadine McQuarrie, a professor in the department of geology at the University of Pittsburgh.
The first reason is gravity. Many mountains form because of movements in Earth’s surface layer known as plate tectonics (板块构造论). This theory describes the Earth’s crust (壳) as mobile and dynamic, divided into large pieces that move around with time. When two plates crash, the impact forces materials on their touching edges to move upward. This is how the Himalayas mountain range, which includes Mount Everest, formed.
“The plates keep pushing together and the mountain keeps growing, until it becomes too hard to do that work against gravity,” McQuarrie told Live Science. At some point the mountain becomes too heavy, and its own weight stops the upward growth caused by the crash of those two plates.
But mountains can also form in other ways. Volcanic mountains, like those on the Hawaiian Islands, for example, form from boiling rock that erupts through the planet’s crust and begins piling up. “But no matter how mountains are formed, they eventually become too heavy and succumb to gravity,” McQuarrie said.
In other words, if Earth had less gravity, its mountains would grow higher. That is indeed what happened on Mars. Mars’ Olympus Mons, the tallest known volcano in the solar system, extends 82,020 feet (25,000 meters) high, nearly three times taller than Mount Everest.
The second reason relates to rivers. At first, rivers make mountains appear taller — they carve into the edge of the mountains and create deep cracks near a mountain’s base. But as rivers gradually destroy materials, their channels may become too steep. This can cause landslides (滑坡) that carry materials away from the mountain and limit its growth.
【1】What can we learn about Mount Everest?
A.It continues growing slowly.
B.It is formed by a volcanic eruption.
C.Its heavy weight stops its further growth.
D.Its peak is the highest point in the solar system.
【2】What do the underlined words “succumb to” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Break away from. B.Give in to.
C.Come up with. D.Get close to.
【3】What does the last paragraph imply?
A.Mountains near rivers grow higher.
B.Landslides occur frequently on high mountains.
C.Rivers can also limit mountain growth.
D.Rivers don’t limit mountain growth as much as gravity.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain why mountains can’t grow forever.
B.To describe how mountains form.
C.To list different kinds of mountains.
D.To compare mountains on different planets.
23、The Purpose of Boredom Being bored can encourage people's creativity-partly to escape the horrible,frustrated.And meaningless feeling of boredom-recent studies find.It could even be true at work.
Psychologists at the University of Central Lancashire had participants copy numbers out of the telephone book for 15 minutes,while others went straight into a standard creativity task.
Both groups were asked to come up with as many different uses as they could for a plastic cup.The group that felt more bored came up with more uses.
Dr.Sandi Mann,one of the study's authors said." Boredom at work has always been seen as something to he removed.hut perhaps we should be welcoming it in order to encourage our creativity.What we want LO do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are.Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work-or do they go home and write novels?"
In a later study,Dr.Sandi Mann found that creativity was reduced when people were still bored but didn't have the chance to daydream.
While we tend to think of boredom as something;that certainly leads to trouble-drinking,gambling.and antisocial behavior,this research suggests different possibilities.
More than anything,the feeling of boredom is a 8trong signal that we are stuck in some kind of rut and we need to seek out new goals.In the study above,this research led participants to new ideas.
Usually people will do anything to avoid being bored.as it's such an aversive experience.But creative people,like writers,sometimes talk about seeking out boredom.
Here is the comedy writer Graham Linehan talking about boredom Lo The Cuardian."I have to use all these programs that cut off the Internet,force me to be bored,because being bored is an essential part of writing,and the Internet has made it very hard to be bored.The creative process requires a period of boredom ,of being stuck.That's actually a very uncomfortable period that a lot of people mistake for writer's block,but it's actually just part of a long process."
So,when you start to feel bored ,instead of g7ancing at your smartphone.,try being bored for a bit.Who knows what creative thought might come of it?
【1】From the study of Dr.Sandi Mann,we can learn that________.
A. boring tasks make people creative
B. daydreaming may increase creativity
C. plastic cups can be used very creatively
D. copying numbers might be very interesting
【2】The underlined word "aversive" in Paragraph 8 probably means________
A. common B. unpleasant
C. unusual D. personal
【3】According to Craham Linehan________.
A. glancing at a smartphone is a solution.
B. he is forced to feel bored by the Internet
C. the boredom period is a block for writers
D. being stuck for a period benefits him a lot
【4】What is the author's attitude towards boredom?
A. Critical B. Cautious
C. Positive D. Unclear
24、If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快闪族), which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books, Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
Bill Lasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003 - after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起时髦的人), and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people.Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.They also have great economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song "Beat It" together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

Grandma Agnes is ninety-nine years old and still live in the same house a he's lived in for more than sixty years. She was one of thirteen children raised on a farm. And now. she is rather set in her ways,
For twelve years, Grandma ages enjoyed the c or up any of her dog, Snoopy. The black and white spotted must was a constant presence in her home and her yard. During the time that she had Snoopy, Grandma Agnes started showing signs of dementia. My family worked together to keep her living independently but safe.
It was difficult for my dad the day he pulled the battery from her car to keep her from using her still valid driver's license, Every visit after that day, Grandma Agnes would insist that he buy her a new car battery because hers was dead again. Dad nodded and agreed to do it, knowing that the conversation would soon be forgotten.
Three years ago. Snoopy passed away, My dad. Aunt Carol and Uncle Ed thought of ways to ensure that Grandma Agnes would know that Snoopy was gone, They had burial service in the back yard with Grandma. Uncle Ed printed a picture of Snoopy with “Rest in Peace” written across the bottom and stuck it to the refrigerator, But on the daily visits. Grandma Agnes still asked about Snoopy, She accused the neighbors of taking her dog because she was sure that she heard bin barking from their yard.
Having a family member with dementia is heartbreaking and trying. For every visit I've made in the past five years, my dad has made a point to tell me that she probably won't remember who I am nor that my kids are her great grandchildren, I've sat through conversations where we patiently repeated answers to questions that were answered a few moment sago. Grandma Agnes is still there. and she's still her stubborn self. but she doesn't grasp the world around her, And yet she insists on living independently and asking about Snoopy constantly.
注意:
