We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practica

21、l ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions（會議）will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that shed actually come. Just a few days earlier, L

22、ilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the countrys ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should

23、ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, shed decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat（畏縮不前）-head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor-broke my heart.Liliths story t

24、ouched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hug

25、ged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment-surrounded by the beauty and love quilt embodied. I wept.

28、he name of Santa Claus.Some people say that parents are purposely taking in their kids by lying to them about Santa. Is it purposely cheating or playing along with the fantasy? There are always those stories about the kindergarten teacher or parent who would tell the kids theres no Santa Claus, and

29、theyd all start crying on the lost dreams.But if another teacher goes into a third-grade class and says there is a Santa Claus, theyll all laugh at her.What I say is that if theyre at the age when theyre still believing,why bother to end it?Then how long should parents pretend? Studies indicate that

30、 after eight,75 percent of kids dont believe.Thats the first “S” word that parents have to deal withits not sex. Its Santa.So the parent has to sit down and say it in a gentle way. “Listen,Santa did exist. He was a person who gave to others and now that youre older, you can give to others and be San

31、ta,too.”Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third-or-fourth-grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way?No.Theyre going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying ,saying you lied to him. We all remember how the news is broken to us, so if we

32、all remember, then theres some significance or we would have forgotten it. And its better to have a memory if someone doing it nicely than some kids laughing at you.Santa is also used as an instrument of guilt, because Santa knows everything. So even if the kids did bad things and got away with them

36、m out by themselves4、The authors intention in writing this text is to_.Aintroduce the detailed story of Santa Claus in all aspectsBprevent children from being laughed at by fellow classmatesChelp children to understand whether Santa Claus is real or notDinstruct parents how to explain the existence

37、of Santa Claus to kids24（8分） If you make a list of the worlds top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape a group of often bad-tempered, wild kids into intelligen

38、t, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Proje

39、ct Ed and Participant Medias Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recently-held competition. Entitled “A World Without Teachers”, its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horr

40、ible things would be if we didnt have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.High-school student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art as we kno

41、w it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.Youth categor

42、y winner Marina Barhams video represents a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers dont just teach, they inspiresomething that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do!

The waves, which were predicted by Al

47、bert Einstein a hundred years ago, came from a collision between two black holes. It took 1.3 billion years for the waves to arrive at the LIGO detector in the USAThe signal was extremely weak when it reached Earth, but is already promising a revolution in astrophysics. Gravitational waves are an en

48、tirely new way of observing the most violent events in space and testing the limits of our knowledge.LIGO, the Laster Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, is a collaborative project with over one thousand researchers from more than twenty countries. Together, they have realized a vision th

49、at is almost fifty years old. The 2017 Nobel winners have, with their enthusiasm and determination, each been invaluable to the success of LIGO. Pioneers Rainer Weiss and Kip S. Thorne, together with Barry CBarish, the scientist and leader who brought the project to completion, ensured that four dec

50、ades of effort led to gravitational waves finally being observed.In the mid-1970s, Rainer Weiss had already analysed possible sources of background noise that would disturb measurements, and had also designed a detector, a laser-based interferometer, which would overcome this noise. Early on, both K

51、ip Thorne and Rainer Weiss were firmly convinced that gravitational waves could be detected and bring about a revolution in our knowledge of the universe.Gravitational waves spread at the speed of light, filling the universe, as Albert Einstein described in his general theory of relativity. They are

52、 always created when a mass accelerates, like when a ice-skater pirouettes or a pair of black holes revolve around each other. Einstein was convinced it would never be possible to measure them. The LIGO projects achievement was using a pair of gigantic laser interferometers to measure a change thous

However, gravitational waves are direct testimony(However, gravitational wav

54、es are direct testimony(證詞)to disruptions in spacetime itself. This is something completely new and different, opening up unseen worlds. A wealth of discoveries awaits those who succeed in capturing the waves and interpreting their message.1、What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?AAlbert
