She decided not to buy any new clothes or
20、footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it. But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dr
21、ess she would only wear on that day? In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, Id make sure I could get my moneys worth, Hall tells PA Real Life. The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019. the 43-year-old adds. Since then,
22、its been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but Ive worn it to do housework , to football games and to the gym. Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress
23、is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesnt really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.

27、.CThere is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says Im much more impatient with her when Im filming Sherlock.”Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coined the
28、term “post-dramatic stress disorder” to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied,” he writes.A recent finding doesnt involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking
29、 about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspecti
30、ve of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events.After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that th
31、eir self-knowledge was now changedtheir self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those theyd given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term confident was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friends per
32、sonality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone elses perspective and re-rating oneself.By simply thinking about another pe
33、rson, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person .” said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging, especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too.
34、The challenge of improving ourselves -or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive lightmight be a little easier than we thought. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we
35、 would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore.” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, bu

It gives advice on adjusting ones emotions.D. It presents a way to deal with stress disorder.D A new device works like a solar panel, except it
39、 doesnt harvest energy from the sun to produce electricity. Instead, it uses energy from the cold night sky. In the center of this device is a thermoelectric generator (热电发电机), which uses the temperature difference between Earth and outer space to create electricity. As long as one side of it is coo
40、ler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed under a transparent cover and surrounded with materials that keep heat out. It stays cooler than the surrounding air by getting rid of any heat it absor
41、bs as infrared (红外线) radiation. That radiation can zip up through the transparent cover and on toward outer space. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate, which is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get several degrees centigrade cooler than the bottom
42、 of the generator. Researchers tested the device one clear December night in Stanford, Calif. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of the device. That was just enough power to light a small electric lamp. Further improvements might develop its production to at l
43、east 500 milliwatts per square meter. “Its a very clever idea,” says Yuan Yang, a materials scientist who works at Columbia University in New York City. “The device still needs improving.” he notes. “But this new device may be useful for backup power, Yang says, “It might also provide a bit of energ
44、y to people living in areas that lack electricity.” “The device could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices.” says Aswath Raman, a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Whats more, this may be useful in areas that dont
45、 see sunlight for months at a time.” Raman adds.32. How is the device designed? A. It includes two aluminum plates with different functions. B.

To do this, one must look at the root of learning. 36.Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add mor

However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them
51、 to grow.High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you wont learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar. 38.To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their

It started with what I had been told about the moon as a kid and grew stronger with time. As you can guess, there is rich cultural meaning behind the faithful compa

The development of relevant technology facilitates the progress of science in general, which benefits our everyday life. Whats more, I think moon exploration shows an important human trait, that is, curiosity about the unknown, which is the driving force that has brought our species this far. I hope you find what Ive mentioned above interesting and reasonable. By the way, what do you think of when you gaze at the moon? Write back and tell me about it!
