I'm not sure is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩）that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the

(loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid(look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel(challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a(science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find(they) alive. True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal(mean)me no real harm. He was just saying: "I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder!" Once his message was delivered, he allowed me (stay)and watch.

Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren't aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn't actually text it.

Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it'll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.

Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It's okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens!

Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind. Don't let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you'll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.

A. Put your phone away.

B. Fix your attention closely on text responses.

C. Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.

D. They want to give you a longer response but can't right now.

E. Ask yourself why being left on "read" frustrates or confuses you.

F. You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.

G. You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.

I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金) (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)

For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions：How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.

We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.

Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.

The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.

Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).

Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.

Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.

"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said.

"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.

The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.

Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.

Academics are central to high school life. Students take a variety of subjects.. For example, science includes experiments and research, while English classes focus on reading literature and writing practice. Dealing with schoolwork, projects, and exams requires good time management skills, which help students develop problem-solving abilities.

. High school is a time for self- discovery and setting personal goals. Students begin to explore their interests, which can guide their future choices. They start thinking about their future jobs, college choices, and what they want to achieve in life. This period of growth is important for building confidence and preparing for the transition (过渡) to adulthood.

After-school activities play an important role in high school life. Students can join clubs, or arts programs. Clubs like debate team, or chess club allow students to meet like minded people. Activities like drama or music enable students to express their creativity and perform in the school play..

Challenges are also a part of high school life. Students might face academic pressure, or other problems.. Teachers, schoolmates, or friends are a good help. Students will benefit a lot from managing challenges.

Community involvement (参与) is another important part of high school.. This involvement helps them understand the importance of giving back and being part of a larger community. It also provides practical experience in working with others and addressing real-world issues.

A. Make the most of your education

B. It's important to ask for support when necessary

Sleep is very important for everyone, especially teenagers, because it helps the brain and body work properly. However, 75% of American teenagers do not get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. School, homework, and other activities require early wake-ups, and teenagers usually find it difficult to fall asleep before 11 pm.

In the past, research has suggested that sleeping too much on weekends could cause health problems. But no one had looked closely at how weekend sleep affects anxiety.

Sojeong Kim, a researcher from the University of Oregon, decided to study this. She focused on teenagers aged 12 to 15, as this is when sleep problems often start. The study used information from around 1,900 teens who had filled out a survey about their feelings of anxiety.

The results showed that teenagers who slept in on weekends had lower anxiety, but only if they slept for less than two extra hours. teenagers who didn't sleep in or lost sleep on the weekend reported higher anxiety levels. Those who slept in more than two extra hours had the most anxiety of all.

Kim believes that sleeping too much on weekends can cause "social jet lag (时差)", just like the tiredness people feel when they travel across time zones. For now, she wants teenagers to know there can be advantages to sleeping in on the weekend. "Getting a little more sleep on weekends might help you feel less anxious," she says. "But sleeping too much may make things worse."

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children's sporting events, parents may shout at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and find out the causes behind them. Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.

After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, "A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person." We just did drawings today, but I know it's going to be great. I like drawing.

I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we'll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.

Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn't know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.
