Repaid Calling Cards Repaid calling cards provide the ultimate in flexibility: they can be used from most locations, including pay phones, cell phones and landlines. But not all calling cards are equal, especially

11、overseas. Compare the rate options associated with different cards, whether you buy them before you travel or on the road. Some charge a pre-connection fee as well as a per minute fee, for example. Callback ServiceAs the name suggests, these services call you and then place your call at cheaper rate

12、s. You initiate the call by dialing a “trigger number a connection to the call-back services computers. Let the call ring once and then hang up.

Many pop culture associations with them are related to vampire (吸血鬼) men tempting women in order to suck their blood or witches putting evil curses on innocent individuals.Although these associations are complete misunderstandings, bats do have a dark side as a danger

19、ous disease carrier. These flying mammals can carry a number of deadly diseases such as rabies (狂犬病) and more recently Ebola. This has led many to wonder why we should even care about them. Sure, there is good reason to be exceptionally cautious if you come into contact with bats. However, there is

20、no denying the fact that bats play a significant role in keeping a balanced ecosystem. Many organic farmers have learned about the benefits of having bats nearby to help manage the pests that show up without pesticides (杀虫剂). One brown batabout the size of a human thumb can consume about 600 mosquit

This year marks the 251th anniversary of Beethovens birth on Dec 17,1770 As one of the fathers of classical music, Beethoven was revolutionary, breaking the rules and stretching musical forms to unleash (释放) emotion. Although som

29、e may claim that classical is a dying art only for the elites (精英人士)，it is actually alive and well in the modern era. Its not uncommon for todays musicians to have grown up playing classical instruments such as the violin or piano. Even those who dont play or listen to classical music are likely to

30、have been introduced to it through movies and even video games. Many or the most recognizable names in the music industry have drawn inspiration from classical music.

While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so l

38、oved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city. Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their Perspective 2030 report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on destination management rather

39、 than destination promoting. The document also describes the countrys future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdams livability will be severely influenced by visitor overload if action isnt taken. Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shu

40、tting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play.

But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, van Loon fears that Amsterdam has alre

42、ady lost its uniqueness forever. The reason tourists come here is that theres something in the character of Amsterdam they love, she explains. But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place.32. What does van Loo

46、practical studies to help improve creativity. _ 36_Many people think that happiness is the ideal state to create something. Recently a study on creativity made a great conclusion. _ 37_ I dont want you to put yourself in a bad mood to create something, but next time youre in strong feelings, try to

47、sit down and focus that energy on creating something. _ 38_ Reading or feeling absurd (or dreamlike) things can help boost (促进) pattern recognition and creative thinking. Because the mind is always seeking to make sense of the things that it sees, and such objects put it in overdrive while the mind

48、tries to work out exactly what it is looking at or reading. I like reading interesting short stories like The Last Question when looking for inspiration.

52、l, a professor of architecture and computer science at MIT, means that there is “a huge drop in demand for traditional, private, enclosed spaces” such as offices or classrooms, and simultaneously “a huge rise in demand for semi-public spaces that can be informally appropriated to innovation (革新的) wo

53、rk spaces”. This shift, he thinks,amounts to the biggest change in _41_ in this century. In the 20th centuryarchitecture was about _42_ structuresoffices for working, cafeterias for eating, and so forth. This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones, fax machine

54、s and filing cabinets.The new architecture, says Mr. Mitchell, will “make spaces intentionally _43_ ”. Architects are thinking about light, air, trees and gardens, all in the service of human connections. Buildings will have much more _44_ shapes than before. _45_ , people working on laptops find it

55、 comforting to have their backs to a wall, so hybrid spaces may become curvier, with more nooks (角落，凹处), in order to maximize the surface area of their inner walls.This “_46_” is what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones, says Anthony Townsend, an urban planner at the Instit

56、ute for the Future, a think-tank. Almost any public space can _47_ some of these features. For example, a not-for-profit organization in New York has _48_ Bryant Park, a once-abandoned but charming garden in front of the citys public library, into a hybrid space popular with office workers. The park

57、s managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park, so they installed Wi-Fi and added some chairs with fold-able lecture desks. The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them _49_ their little bit of the park.The academic name for such sp

58、aces is “third places”, a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book, “The Great, Good Place”.

60、oup of _52_ .As more _63_ places pop up and spread, they also change entire cities. Just as buildings during the 20th century were specialized by _54_ , towns were as well, says Mr. Mitchell. Suburbs were for living, downtowns for _55_ and other areas for playing. But urban nomadism makes districts,

65、lometers of forest.Early on, most reports about the bushfires focused on the cost to humans. Recently, people have shown more concern about the effects of the fires _57_ animals than before.

70、ction site of a skyscraper (摩天大楼), “How could I become as rich as you when I grow up？”With a glance at the boy, the tall and strongbuild contractor replied, “I would like to tell you a story first about three diggers. The first digger liked holding a spade (锹) without doing anything but saying that

71、he wanted to be a boss in the future. The second digger liked complaining about the longtime work and his low salary. The third digger always quietly devoted himself to digging without making any claims. Several years later, the first digger was still holding his spade in the original place and the

Just go to buy a red shirt and work hard.”The little boy was puzzled and could not figure out the implication of the story. So he asked

73、 the contractor to explain further. Pointing to the builders who were working on the scaffold (脚手架), the contractor talked to the little boy, “Look at those people! They are all my workers. I cant remember all of their names, and even I have no impression of some of them. But if you look carefully,

74、you will notice a sunburned man in red among them. I notice him very early. He seems to be working harder with higher spirits than others. He is always the first one to work every day while the last one to leave. It is exactly his red shirt that makes him stand out among all the workers. Now I am about to ask him to be my taskmaster and I believe he will work even much harder from now on. Maybe he will soon be promoted to my assistant.”The contractor told the boy that was also how he had got where he was then._After hearing his words, the boy thought a lot._
