30、 home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new

31、puppy.“Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “That doesnt matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time.

32、ke every morning when I wake up.

37、tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market.

38、om the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market.

Frost entered Dartmouth University in 1893, but dropped out, and switched to Harvard, which he attended for two years. He sta

43、rted a brief teaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by some of his students work. Frost stopped teaching and became a farmer. During this time he wrote numerous poems, and a couple of short stories. While he was a farmer he started to think seriously about becoming a famous poet. In

44、 almost all of his poems, Frost wrote in the first person. The first widely-read poem that he published was called My Butterfly. At first his audience was very small, but with his Collected Poems he became famous. Robert Frost received almost all the awards that there were for poetry. His poetry des

45、cribes the forces of nature, and the violence and deep emotional(情感的) needs of human beings, which reflect the experiences of his childhood.

But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive (毁灭性的).A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain.Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing pe

51、ople can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.Predictions are improving. “Weve gotten better over the years, e

52、specially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzb

53、ack says. First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the air containing drops of water cools and turns back into liquid.
