40、ing them without a trainer present is forbidden.CGlancing at the large room through her blue eyes, four-year-old Nicole in her oversize short skirt began to cry.Its okay: honey.”I tried to encourage.Come and play with the other children.”But the more I persuaded, the more tears flowed.Every week for

41、 the past eighteen years, Ive spent Tuesdays with a dozen kids dressed in satin ribbons, feathers, butterfly wings and plastic jewelry. These afternoons are free flowing and non-threatening but for some strange reason, Nicole saw this as the final kiss of death.In her mind, she was going to be left

42、all alone with a strange woman and several other children. Uncontrollable tears rapidly started to flow and there wouldnt be enough tissues in the whole building to mop up the flood.Tip toeing quickly to the door, I gently called to her father.Just sit in here for a while until she warms up.”I said.

43、 Standing next to his first born, Rich took his daughters hand and led her to the centre of the room.

44、 with you. Theres nothing to be afraid of.Holding her entire young hand around his middle two fingers, the pair went on to skip around the floor.“Wow!I cheered.You deserve a prize. Ive never seen a dad do that before.”For a brief second, Rich paused, and then with a smile, he replied, Isnt this part

45、 of the job?That wonderful moment was two years ago and Ive thought of it often, especially when I see how well Nicole performs in class. More importantly, however, Ive remembered it because it takes me back to my own dance beginnings with my father.From the moment I was born, music spoke to me. The

46、 moment the radio or record player was turned on, I moved my arms and legs about the room in wild fashion. Most of the time, I was fine to perform alone, but the minute my dad walked into the room, Id jump into his arms, hug him tight and place my tiny feet on top of his highly shined shoes.While th

47、is memory is sweet, the real reason I hold it dear to my heart is because of what went behind his action. My father was not the most gifted creature on two legs when it came to dancing, but hed stepped out of his comfort zone(区域） and danced because he knew how much I loved it. For him, helping his o

48、nly daughter develop, despite how uncomfortable it made him feel was part of his job.As a child, my father did what he was told and lived as expected But when it came to his own children, he allowed us the chance to follow our own path and we were never forced to be like him, live like him or think

49、like him. He provided an environment where my three brothers and I were permitted to explore our own jungle until we found the life that was right for us.To all the fathers whove influenced your childrens lives by stepping out of your comfort zones to dance, whether it is in mind, body or soul-this

54、a desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration （脱水）within three days. Unless, that is, they had one of Omar Yaghis next-generation water harvesters.

55、ugh water in the atmosphere to support life if it can be transformed into liquid form.Thats exactly what Yaghis device does. Its a box about the size of a small microwave oven designed to suck the humidity from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the

56、sun as its power source.

59、 their unique structure-large quantities of nanometer-sized internal spaces. In fact one MOF has so many pores that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely stable light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific

60、 molecules, such as water, and their pores can be designed to best store them. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to release what it is holding. More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.62.Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the sec

81、t.Some are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other, and they may develop friendship. In addition, top students can help slower on

They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.In my opinion, Id like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.Yours,Li Ping
