30、 home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new
31、puppy.“Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “That doesnt matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time.

43、rted a brief teaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by some of his students work. Frost stopped teaching and became a farmer.

51、ople can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen.

52、specially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzb
53、ack says. First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the air containing drops of water cools and turns back into liquid.
