29、milyC. show your first jump to others D. review the exciting momentBNot long ago, few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astronauts. For years in the United States, only men had that opportunity. In 1983, that changed. Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to t
30、ravel into space.On Monday, Ride died at the age of 61. Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. “She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars.Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. “If you asked me when I was 12
31、 whether I wanted to be an astronaut, Im sure I would have said yes,” she said in a 2010 interview. “But I didnt even think about that as a possible career.”After studying physics in college and graduate school, Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASAs astronaut training program in 1978, and
32、 then chosen to be the first American female in space. In 1983, she was sent into space aboard the Challenger shuttle. “There is no amusement park ride on Earth that even comes close,” she said.Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984. Between the two missions(使命), she spent a
33、total of 343 hours in orbit. After that, she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids. She wrote five science books for children, and started her own science education company.Ride knew that she held a unique place in history. “I realized ho
34、w important it was for a woman to break that barrier(障碍) and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing,” she said.Since Rides historic trip, more than 40 other American women have traveled to space.

48、one companies design models especially for kids. But parents are usually the ones buying the phones, and paying the bill. According to a July 2012 study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cell phone. The percentage goes up with age. The study, by ORC International f
49、or the National Consumers League (NCL), basically proves what many people already assumed: many kids, if not most, have their own cell phones.According to a recent YouthBeat survey, 12 is the magic number. It is the most common age for kids to get their first cellphone. But 13% of children aged 6 to
50、 10 already have one. Thats more than one out of every 10 kids. Pro-cell phone people, including many parents, hold that cell phones help kids keep in touch with their friends and families. They believe that cell phones are an important tool in an emergency. Kids can stay connected with their parent
51、s at all times, whether its to ask for a ride home from soccer practice or to receive a good-luck text message moment before a big game. Plus, some people say having a cellphone helps teach kids to be responsible. Some cell phones designed for kids can be controlled with settings that allow the phon
52、e to only be used in parent-approved ways. Whats the harm in that?But other people are worried about the health and safety effects of kids cell phones. They believe that plugged-in kids could be missing out on other activities, such as playing outside or hanging out with friends, and that sending te
53、xt messages or fielding phone calls while doing homework is bad for concentration. They say that kids are spending too much time texting instead of talking to each other. Our brains evolved(进化) to communicate face to face, says Gary Small, a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, in
54、 California. A lot of this is lost with texting.”Another concern is cyberbullying(网络欺凌), which is on the rise as more kids use e-mail and text messages to communicate. And some experts are concerned about possible health risks. They worry that radiationor energy wavesreleased by cellphones could be
55、harmful to young people. To be safe, many child doctors advise limiting talk time.57. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A. only 10 % of children aged 6 to 10 already have cellphonesB. all the kids have their own cellphones by the age of 12C. the percentage of kids owning cellphones i
56、ncreases with ageD. the earliest age for kids to get their first cellphone is 858.

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized (把归类)
59、as honor help you create this life of good feelings. Heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might t
60、ell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with
61、our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we a
62、dvertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations(声誉) by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our s
63、elf-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(高尚). There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to
64、 a happier existence. And its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue.
