9、t have a good track recordwhen it comes to making them grow.A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs(郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed in

10、side the bulb and would come out in the spring. “When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, youll know that its almost time for your son to come home.Theyll give you what you need most. ”She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her-trying to show my grat

11、itude for her gift.It was a long winter- cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where Id planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there. Finally the weather began to warm. O

12、ne day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green.

17、ey promise they will lose weight, find a new job, or maybe even take that vacation theyve always talked about. But why do we make these promises to ourselves, and where did this tradition come from? Why does this tradition live on when so many people fail to keep the resolutions(决定) they made? Well,

18、 we can start by blaming the ancient Babylonians.Around 4, 000 years ago in Babylon, the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held. Calendars werent as they are today, so the Babylonians did it in late March during the first new moon after the Spring Equinox(春分). The f

19、estivities were meant for the rebirth of the sun god, but the Babylonians made promises in order to please their gods. They felt this would help them start the new year off well.Resolutions continued on with the Romans. When the early Roman calendar no longer synced(同步）up with the sun, Julius Caesar

20、 decided to make a change. He consulted with the best astronomers an mathematicians of the time and introduced the Julian calendar, which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today. Caesar declared January I the first day of the year to honor the god of new beginnings, Janus. The Roman

21、s celebrated the New Year by offering sacrifices to Janus.To this day, the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue around the world. So much that Google launched a Resolution Map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time. However, no matte

22、r how many people participated in Googles project, ,the numbers are bleak when it comes to the number of people who maintain their resolutions -only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out.8.

24、tions will soon die.B. A lot of people dont feel like making New Years resolutions.C. Julius Caesar made January 1 the first day of a year on his own.D.

26、t to keep you warm and cozy, allowing you to stay comfortable in a cooler room. Or, picture a car windshield that stores the suns energy and then releases it as heat to make the ice on the windshield disappear.According to a team of researchers at MIT, both cases may be possible before long, thanks

27、to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat. This transparent polymer film could be applied to many different surfaces, such as window glass or clothing.Solar energy is only available about half the time we need it-during daylight. For the sun to become

28、a major power provider for human needs, there has to be an efficient way to save it up for use during nighttime and stormy days. Most such efforts have focused on storing and recovering solar energy in the form of electricity, but the new finding, by MlI professor Jeffrey Grossman, Postdoc David Zhi

29、tomirsky and graduate student Eugene Cho, could provide a highly efficient method for storing the suns energy through a chemical reaction and releasing it later as heat.The key to enabling long-term, stable storage of solar heat, the team said, is to store it in the form of a chemical change rather

30、than storing the heat itself. But heat will disappear over time no matter how good the material around it is, so the team set up a chemical storage system that can keep the energy in a stable molecular configuration. When exposed to sunlight, the molecules can stay that way for long periods Then, wh

31、en triggered(触发）by a very specific temperature or something else, the molecules return to their original shape , giving off heat in the process.Such chemically-based storage materials, known as Solar Thermal Fuels(STF), have been developed before. But those earlier efforts were designed to be used i

32、n liquid solutions and not able to make durable(耐用的) solid-state films. The new approach is the first based on a solid-state material, in this case a polymer, and the first based on inexpensive materials and widespread production technology.12.

According to the passage, what can the polymer film do?A. It can be made into window glass.B. It can make necessary electricity.C.It can store energy and relea

34、se sunshine.D. It can absorb sunshine and give off heat.14. According to the passage, what is STF based on?A. The chemical reaction.B. The movement of heat.C. The form of electricity.D. The physical reaction.15. What is the advantage of the molecular configuration?A. It is less expensive.B. It is ve
