13、over, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital. “A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids

14、in the hospital,” says Sam. Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sams ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids. Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. Sams father, Sco

15、tt Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground.

Other trends: New York City grew 2%, adding about 161,500 people since 2010. By far it is the USAs most populous city. The population of New Orle

22、ans continues to grow. In 2005 a terrible natural disaster happened to the city, causing the population to decrease. Now it has a population of three hundred and sixty-nine thousand.

Taught by her mother, she began instructing in 1904, achieving success in many high schools. In 1909, her first love die

28、d. Shortly afterward her second love married someone else. In 1922 the Mexican minister of education, Jos Vasconcelos, invited her to assist in his reform program, and the peak of this career came the following year, when she was awarded the Chilean title “Teacher of the Nation”. In 1925 she retired

29、 but remained active.Gabriela Mistral devoted much time to diplomatic (外交的) activity, serving as honorary consul (名誉领事) in Madrid, Lisbon, Nice, and Los Angeles. She also served as a representative to the United Nations. In fulfillment of these responsibilities, she visited nearly every major countr

30、y in Europe and Latin America. She also continued her early literary pursuits.In 1922 Gabriela Mistrals first book, Desolation, a collection of poems previously published in newspapers and magazines, was released through the efforts of Federico de Ons, Director of the Hispanic Institute of New York.

31、 It reflected personal sorrow.Two years later her second book, Tenderness, appeared; it contained some of the poems from Desolation and several new ones.

36、 the extinction of civilizations more than 3,000 years ago during the Bronze Age.The reason behind why the civilizations in and around modern-day Israel suddenly broke down more than 3,000 years ago has remained a mystery up until now. A new pollen study by Tel Aviv University researchers finally so

37、lved this Bronze Age mystery.Prof. Israel Finkelstein showed that owing to serious climate changes, the entire world of the Bronze Age crumbled in a short period of time. The discovery was made on the basis of a high-resolution analysis of pollen grains taken from sediments (沉淀物) beneath the Sea of

38、Galilee and the western shore of the Dead Sea. Prof. Finkelstein received support from the European Research Council to conduct research aimed at reconstructing ancient Israel. Researchers of the part of the project that dealt with climate change extracted (提取) about 60 feet of samples of gray muddy

39、 sediment from the center of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. They had to drill through 1,000 feet of water and into 65 feet of the lake bed and were able to recover evidence dating over the past 9,000 years.“Pollen is the most enduring organic material in nature,” explained Dr. Dafna Langgut,

40、 a pollen researcher who carried out the actual work of sampling. “These grains tell us about the plants that grew near the lake in the past and therefore prove the climatic conditions in the region.”Researchers noted a sharp decrease in Mediterranean trees like oaks and pines in the Late Bronze Age

41、. According to study experts, this could be because of repeated periods of drought. The droughts may have resulted in long famines, forcing people to migrate from north to south.32.

45、or a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee, because it may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure, insomnia (失眠) and headaches.Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is brewed (冲泡) that holds the key to our health. 38 Among other

46、things, this is linked to the consumption of a strong brew of coffee. Experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health. A new study by a Harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems. 39 Doctors, howeve

47、r, warn against drinking too much coffee, as it can lead to stomach problems.Coffee has many advantages, as the new study suggests. While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow-moving, coffee gives them energy. 40 Although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee, it seems to reduce the risk of
