10、m here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing.As I got closer to Fira, she nuzzled her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart.

11、ally.I patted Firas nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didnt have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe.I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasnt sure exactly what one would do with a
12、 horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better.

13、and I would focus entirely on communicating.I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place.

19、 Educational Research and Development of the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb, Croatia. The authors wanted to discover the main factors affecting pupils intention to continue to higher education as they reach the end of elementary school.To find out childrens aims, they asked just over 1,000
20、pupils aged 14-15 at 23 elementary schools in Zagreb to complete three separate questionnaires during their last two years at elementary school. The researchers also obtained information on the pupils academic grades, as well as on the size of each school and its classes, the grade point average (GP

22、ation. In contrast, several factors related to parents and home life, such as parental educational aspirations, maternal (母亲的) academic support and having a desk to work on, did have an influence. As did gender, with girls more likely than boys to want to continue to higher education. And while scho
23、ol-level factors didnt have any influence, performance at school did: high academic grades were the single strongest predictor of a pupils desire to continue to higher education, while enjoying school was also an important factor.“The major finding arising from the present study is that none of the
24、school level variables used in our analysis contributes to the explanation of pupils aspirations (志向) for higher education,” said Josip abi. “Another important finding is that parents can influence their childs aspirations by expressing their expectations regarding the childs educational path and by

28、s a question that has been asked for years: Is a dishwasher or washing dishes by hand greener? Which uses less energy and water?A few years ago, the answer was that the dishwasher was better but a very careful hand-washer could probably use about the same amount of water and less energy. However, mu
29、ch has changed since then. Technology combined with good design has made the dishwasher greatly better over the years, to the point where theres hardly a question. Studies are showing that modern dishwashers can save more water than most hand-washers.Dishwashers are even more efficient. Modern dishw
30、ashers have pre-heaters that increase the water temperature up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize (消毒) them. The dishwasher also has a timer that lets you set it to turn on at a later time when the power rates are lower.On the other hand, none of the studies do an analysis of what it takes in ter
31、ms of energy and water to actually build the dishwasher and replace it every 10 years or so. Nor does it take into account a Swedish study that found that children in families that wash dishes by hand are less likely to develop fever probably due to the “hygiene hypothesis (卫生假说)”, which says the re
32、ason why kids fall ill is that their surroundings are actually too clean. If youre not willing to fill up the sinks, the researchers point out that maybe the dishwasher is one labor-saving machine that does a better job than you can especially if you value your time. The researchers write, “When a u
33、sers time spent washing dishes is valued, machine dishwashers pay for themselves within a year of use.” 12. Why does the author raise two questions in the first paragraph?A.

40、 and do something else. Turning off the technology seems like a natural cure for FOMO.
