These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.Witness a desert superbloomOccasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a surperbloom, and it happens if theres significant rainfall between September and November.

The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lighting storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else,” says Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. Its just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, Venezuela WHEN TO GO: OctoberNovember56. What causes a superbloom to happen in the desert? A.

Wallops Flight Facilities C. Catatumbo Camp D. Death Valley National ParkB “I think Im nothing more than a dead fish.” “I dont want to do anything. ” “Im so beat and so sad.”. . The young generation in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have bee “beat and sad” slowly and secretly. Some people even called it “the beat culture”. The “Beat” youths dont want to do anything. They have no purpose, no desire and they are totally depressed so that they only want to live an aimless life. The “Ge You slouch” and the song I feel like having been drained are the examples.Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is really a kind gesture. However, we dont have to worry too much about this “beat culture.” In fact, its not a negative thing. “Beat”never means despair, but a way of self-mockery (自嘲) and pressure relief.In general, the youths in China are not “beat”. According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard, you can have your own day”. Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and puter. pared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic.Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of “the Beat Culture”. As urbanization develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never encountered before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get hold of the young people. Without proper care, they could threaten our mentality and cause many social problems. These problems probably need our attention more.58. “The Beat culture”includes the following examples except that A. the young generation dont feel like doing anything. B. the young generation consider themselves dead fish. C. the young generation in big cities are facing new challenges. D. the young generation enjoy the song I feel like having been drained.59. Which word has the most similar meaning with “decadence” in Paragraph 2? A. lonelinessB. laziness C. sufferingsD. pessimism60. What can we learn from the passage? A. Most people believe that with hard work, people can have their own day. B. These days, young people suffer much more loneliness than their parents. C. Chinese youths are more negative than those in developed countries. D. Social development does bring some pressure to the younger generation.61. Whats the main idea of the text? A. The Chinese youths are not the beat generation. B. How does “the Beat Culture” affect the Chinese youth. C. “The Beat Culture” is positive to Chinese youngsters D. “The Beat Culture” is popular among the Chinese youngsters.CNorman Garmezy, a developmental psychologist at the University of Minnesota, met thousands of children in his four decades of research. A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an alcoholic mother and an absent father. But each day he would walk in to school with a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that “no one would feel pity for him and no one would know his mothers inpetence.” The boy exhibited a quality Garmezy identified as “resilience.”Resilience presents a challenge for psychologists. People who are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity(逆境) wont know how resilient they are. Its only when theyre faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, es out. Some give in and some conquer.Garmezys work opened the door to the study of the elements that could enable an individuals success despite the challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the environment. The resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal locus of control (内控点).” They believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw themselves as the arrangers of their own fates. George Bonanno has been studying resilience for years at Columbia Universitys Teachers College. He found that some people are far better than others at dealing with adversity. This difference might e from perception(认知) whether they think of an event as traumatic(创伤), or as an opportunity to learn and grow. “Stressful” or “traumatic” events themselves dont have much predictive power when it es to life outes. “Exposure to potentially traumatic events does not predict later functioning,” Bonanno said. “Its only predictive if theres a negative response.” In other words, living through adversity doesnt guarantee that youll suffer going forward.The good news is that positive perception can be taught. “We can make ourselves more or less easily hurt by how we think about things,” Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different waysto reframe it in positive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”changes how they experience and react to the adversity.62. According to the passage, resilience is an individuals ability _. A. to think critically B. to decide ones own fate C. to live a better life D. to recover from adversity63. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The psychologists. B. The resilient children. C. Positive elements. D. Internal locus of control.64. According to Paragraph 4, we can learn that _. A. your positive perception may turn adversity around. B. stressful events are more predictive than delightful events. C. experiencing adversity predicts that you will go on suffering. D. a negative response doesnt guarantee you will suffer all the time.65. What is the authors purpose of writing this passage? A. To teach people how to be resilient. B. To encourage people to live through adversity. C. To indicate peoples perception varies from each other. D. To pare different research findings about resilience.D. My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”. During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the munity would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys education was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less signif
