朋友关系的存续是以相互尊重为前提的，容不得半点强求、干涉和控制。朋友之间，情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交；反之，则离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉、再亲密，也不能随便过头、不恭不敬。不然，默契和平衡将被打破，友好关系将不复存在。每个人都希望拥有自己的私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，从而引起冲突，造成隔阂。待友不敬，或许只是一件小事，却可能已埋下了破坏性的种子。维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节，互不干涉。

But the worst of it isn't society’s work-ethic morality; it's your own, which you never knew you bad. You find out how much serf-satisfaction was gained from even the most simple work--related task: a well-worded letter, a well-handled phone call--even a clean fire. Being useful to yourself isn't enough,

But then almost everyone has heard about the need to be a useful member of society. What you didn’t know about was the loneliness. You’ve spent your life almost constantly surrounded by people,in classes,in dorms and at work. To suddenly find yourself with only your cat to talk to an day distorts your sense of reality. You begin to worry that flights of fancy might become one way.

But you always were, and still are, stronger than that. You maintain balance and perspective, mainly through resorting frequently to sarcasm and irrevence. Although something going wrong in any aspect of your life now seems to push you into temporary despair much more easily than before, you have done very important things to hang on to--people who care, your sense of humor your talents, your cat and your hopes.

And beyond that, you've gained something--a little more knowledge and a lot more compassion. You've learned the valive of the rolitime your scorned and the importance of the job you took for granted. But most of all, you've learned what a 7.6 per cent unemployment rate" really means."

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy

cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of will, a qualification of the i-【M1】______

magination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the fresh of the deep springs of life. 【M2】______

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of

the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists a man of 60 【M3】______

more than a boy of 20. Nobody grow old merely by the number of years. We 【M4】______

grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but give in enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. 【M5】______

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart or turns the spirit back to dust. 【M6】______

Whether 60 or 16, there is every human being's heart the lure of wonder,

the unfailing childlike appetite of what' s next and the joy of the game of living. 【M7】______

In the center of your heart and my heart where there is a wireless station: so 【M8】______

long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered by snows of cynicism 【M9】______

and the ice of pessimism, then you are growing old, even at 20, however as 【M10】______

long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may

die young at 80.

Among her fellow astronomers, Vera Rubin is known as an expert

observer of the night sky, one of the best. Her reputation derives from the

project she has doggedly pursued through most of her career: measuring how 【M1】______

fast spiral galaxies are spinning, from their luminous cores out of the faint 【M2】______

wisps of light at their fringes. Such a task may sound tedious; even her

colleagues thought so when she started the project 20 years ago. But for her 【M3】______

painstaking measurements Rubin has' learned something important about

galaxies: they spin so fast they have to fly apart. Since galaxies do not seem【M4】______

to be shedding stars the way like a rotating lawn sprinkler shed water; 【M5】______

moreover, something must be holding the stars in. That something has to be 【M6】______

gravity, no other force is powerful enough on a galactic scale. And where 【M7】______

there is gravity, there is mass. Rubin realized that a huge reservoir of extra

materials, invisible to her telescope, must be tucked away somewhere in each 【M8】______

galaxy. We cannot see this matte--it is invisible to all our detectors. But

this "dark matter" seems to make up at least 90 percent of the mass of the

universe.

Large because of Rubin's work, dark matter has become the buzzword in 【M9】______

Astronomy. Her work has stirred such ferment that observers are desperate to 【M10】______

find some way of seeing dark matter and theorists are desperate to find an

explanation of what it is--swarms of unknown elementary particles, for

instance, hidden armadas of Jupiter-like planets.

o pursue their career abroad after they retired from national teams. This has provoked quite a bit of controversy. Some people have strong objections to the outflow of these players, which they believe has minimized the advantages China has long had over foreign competitors. Others maintain that these individuals have right to choose their own way of life.

In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious

ship float, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to 【1】______

anything else on the sea that it was dubbed "unsinkable." So sure of

this was the Owners that they provided life boats 【2】______

with only 950 of its possibly 3,500 passengers. 【3】______

Many passengers were board the night when it rammed an 【4】______

iceberg, only two days at sea and more than halfway between

England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner

was traveled so fast, it was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking【5】______

iceberg. An unextinguished fire also attributed to the ship's 【6】______

submersion. Panic increased the amount of casualties as people 【7】______

jumped into the icy water or fought to be among a few to board the 【8】______

lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the

Carpathia, rescued the survivors—less than a third of those who

were originally aboard.

The infamous Titanic has enjoyed only two days of sailing 【9】______

glory on maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of 【10】______

water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.

If by "suburb" is meant an urban margin that grows more rapidly

than it already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began 【M1】______

during the emergence of the industrial city in second quarter of 【M2】______

the nineteenth century. Before that period the city was a small highly

compact cluster which people moved about on foot and goods were 【M3】______

conveyed by horse and cart. But the early factories built in the 1840's

were locating along waterways and near railheads at the edges of cities, 【M4】______

and housing was needed for the thousands of people drawn by the prospect

of employment. In time, the factories were surrounded by proliferating

mill towns of apartments and row houses that abutted the older, main cities.

As a defense against this encroachment and to reduce their tax bases, 【M5】______

the cities appropriated their industrial neighbor. In 18.54, for example, 【M6】______

the city of Philadelphia annexed most of Philadelphia County. Similar

municipal maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New York.

Indeed, most great cities of the United States achieve such status 【M7】______

only by incorporating the communities along their borders.

With the accelerate of industrial growth came acute urban 【M8】______

crowding and accompanying social stress — conditions that began to approach

disastrous proportions when, in 1888, the first commercially successful electric

traction line was developed. Within a few years the horse-drawn trolleys

retired and electric streetcar networks crisscrossed and connected 【M9】______

every major urban area, fostering a wave of suburbanization that transformed

the compact industrial city into a dispersed metropolis. This first phase

of mass-scale suburbanization was reinforced by the simultaneous emergence

of the urban Middle Class, whose desires for homeownership in neighborhoods

far from the aging outer city were satisfied by the developers of single-family【M10】______

housing tracts.

It was by a private person, the late Mr. John Clifton, his giving a sample of the utility of lamps, by placing one at his door, that the people were first impressed with the idea of enlightening all the city. The honor of this public benefit has also been ascribed to me, but it belongs truly to that gentleman. I did but follow his example, and have only some merit to claim respecting the form. of our lamps, as differing from the globe lamps we were at first supplied with from london. Those we found inconvenient in these respeets: they admitted no air below; the smoke, therefore, did not readily go out above, but circulated in the globe, lodged on its inside, and soon obstructed the light they were intended to afford; giving, besides, the daily trouble of wiping them clean; and an accidental stroke on one of them would demolish it, and render it totally useless.

马先生起身出来，因略歇了一歇脚，就又往上走。过这一条街，上面无房子了，是一个极高的山冈。一步步上去走到山冈上，左边望着钱塘江，明明白白。那日江上无风，水平如镜，过江的船，船上有轿子(sedan-chair)，都看得明白。再走上些，右边又看得见西湖、雷峰 (塔)一带，湖心亭都望见。那西湖里打渔船，一个一个，如小鸭子浮在水面。马二先生心旷神怡，只管走了上去，又看见一个大庙门前摆着茶桌子卖茶。马二先生两脚酸了，且坐吃茶。吃着，两边一望，一边是江，一边是湖，又有那山色一转围着，又遥见隔江的山，高高低低，忽隐忽现。吃了两碗茶，肚里正饿，思量要回去路上吃饭，恰好一个乡里人捧着许多烫面薄饼(pancakes)来卖，又一篮子煮熟的牛肉，马二先生大喜，买了几十文(钱的)饼和牛肉，就在茶桌子上尽兴一吃。吃得饱了，自思趁着饱再上去。
