18、on over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century “some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry.”After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute
19、of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955. Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name.

20、was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Peis solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modern art.Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (几何的) shapes, he once
21、urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.In person, I.M. Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest.

26、e is never a dull place in sci-fi novels or movies. However, the task of this popular type is not only to predict the future, but also to reflect real life.Just take a look at The Stone Sky, written by US author N. K. Jemisin, which won the Nebula Award for Best Novel of 2017. One of the reasons why
27、 the book was recognized was that it matches up with reality and shows modern social mentality. The Stone Sky tells a story happening on a broken earth, which often suffers natural disasters. Faced with the earths constant changes, the characters in the book react in many different ways. Essun and h
28、er daughter Nassun both try to save the planet. Essun wants to repair the broken world, but Nassun desires to wreck it and create a new one.

29、 them, the New York Times commented.Generational idea aside, the book also includes real-life race issues and even adds some sarcasm (讽刺) to them. In the story, the dark-skinned people from the hot regions of the earth are regarded as the advanced race, while the paler people from the Antarctic are
30、viewed as inferior (较差的). Yet the unconditional love between Essun and Nassun brings warmth to readers hearts. As Jemisin notes at the end of The Stone Sky, “Where there is pain in this book, it is real pain; where there is anger, it is real anger; where there is love, it is real love.”28. Why is sc

34、 harmoniously with other people is a good way of marking yourself off from everybody else. While teamwork may offer the chance to blame others for your mistakes, you can never blame them for your failings as a teammate. In any case, working out where to apportion blame is not a good way to approach
35、membership of any new team. Instead, get to know one another, so you can build up a shared identity and combine your strengths. Find out each others values, weaknesses, and past achievements.Dont shy away from conflicts but work out how to deal with them. Humor can be good glue, so have a laugh toge
