2. Passage NineteenA 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home.But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods.He said he was with a friend——a bear.The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother’s house in the southern state of North Carolina.When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods.But two days went by and still——no Casey.The woods of North Carolina are home to many black bears, like this one.It seems one of them helped a little boy while he was lost in the woods.Then on January 24, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods.Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night.They pulled him out of some briar (荆棘).He was in good health.Police Officer Chip Hughes said that Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for two days in the cloud, rainy weather, but that “he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him.”Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military.Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped (绑架).Doctors at Carolina East Medical Center treated Casey for minor injuries.He was then released to his family on January 25.The woods are mentioned again and again to indicate that they ().

4. Passage TwentyAll friendships require a certain amount of chemistry.But when two people of the opposite sex become friends, sometimes those friendly feelings can start to resemble something more like sexual tension.Male-female friendships can be an emotional minefield of hidden desires.Does this mean you secretly want to jump into bed with all of your friends? Of course not.But do you ever wonder how many of them might be interested if the opportunity presented itself? Maybe you and your platonic (柏拉图式的)friendship are just a bad breakup and a bottle of wine away from crossing that boundary and hooking up (结合).So can two people of the opposite sex ever really be “just friends?” The Hollywood answer to this age-old question is a decisive HELL NO.On screen, male-female friendships always turn into something more.Harry and Sally, Chandler and Monica, Jim and Pam…… Do I need to go on? Even the characters in Just Friends wind up becoming much more than the film’s definitive title suggests.Cinematic stories dictate that when reasonably attractive men and women befriend one another, they are always on the road to romance, whether they realize it or not.But how much truth is there to this friendship as foreplay theory? It is not a whole lot.Real life isn’t a romantic comedy.Men and women go to school together, work together and hang out in plenty of platonic settings without falling hopelessly in love with one another.Last year, a close female friend of mine moved in with a new male roommate.My immediate reaction was, “You two are definitely going to sleep together.” It seemed to me that a single man and woman living under the same roof would inevitably end up doing it.Much to my surprise, the roommate romance never happened.Almost one year later, the two of them have never even come close to seeing each other naked.Instead, their way of life has come to resemble a sexless marriage.They cook for each other, argue over domestic chores and insist that they never, ever think about each other “that way.”In real life, Hollywood foreplay theory ().

5. Passage Twenty-FiveOnline dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship.But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed (有缺陷的).An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships.The findings also indicated that the concept of an online profile (介绍)is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.Lead author Eli.J.Finkel explained, “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet.However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on Match.com, does not reveal much about them.Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms (算法)employed by sites such as eHarmony.com to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love.While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr.Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar.“There’s no better way to figure out whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,” Dr.Finkel said.According to Dr.Finkel, what is the best way to find a match?

3、Now we know that all this is caused by the movement of the earth around the sun.As the earth journeys around the sun, it spins on its own axis.This can be illustrated (解释,说明)by a simple experiment.If you push a sharp stick(尖头棒)through a rubber ball and twirl(使旋转)it with two fingers, the ball spins around in much the same way the earth is spinning at this moment.The points where the stick comes through the ball correspond to(等同于)the North and South Poles.If you twirl this ball at night directly in front of a bright light, you will notice that half of the ball is lighted up while the other half is in the shade(阴暗处).That is just like our night and day.If you keep the stick strictly vertical(垂直的)to the light and twirl it at an even speed, any spot on the ball’s surface will be in the light and in the shade the same length of time.
