23、 become a sports broadcaster. She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program, which placed novice instructors in schools full of low-income children.

24、is a big sports person, and that is how she connects with lots of kids.

30、eres a link between cold air and the night lights. Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter, said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though its invisible, moisture can change the way light moves through the air.And in the summer,
31、 moisture can make stars appear more dull. Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory.And when the light fro
32、m a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, it bends and shifts the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said. For star lovers in the United States, theres another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coin
33、cidence. During Earths journey around the sun, “there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky, Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon.At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius
34、is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright.

38、rough social media can quickly convince you that everyones life is more interesting than yours. During a particularly adventurous week on Instagram some months ago, I saw waterskiing in Maui, and swimming with wild pigs in the Bahamas. Wild pigs! I started googling flights to new places, imagining a
39、dventures. Then I ordered food from the place I eat at every week and . felt bad about not trying somewhere new. Recent research about repeat and novel experiences suggests that we ought to reconsider those negative feelings associated with repetition. Ed OBrien, a professor at the University of Chi
40、cago, launched a series of studies on this topic, “Theres a general belief that if you want to seem like an interesting, cultured person, the best thing you can do is to showcase that youre open to new experiences, he says. That may be true, but I think we take for granted the value of really diggin
41、g deep into one field.” To test this hypothesis (假设)，OBrien and his team exposed all participants to the same stimulus (刺激), including museum visits, movies, and video games. Next, some people were asked to imagine repeating the experience, while others actually did repeat what they had done. The re
42、searchers found that on the whole, participants said that repeating experiences was often far more enjoyable than they had predicted. There is joy in repetition partly because every human mind wanders. Consequently, we miss a good part of every experience. Repeating things can really be seen as anot

People were open to new experiences. B. Imagination was exciting on the whole. C. Repeating experiences made one bored. D. Digging de
46、ep into one field was enjoyable. 14. How can we keep our brain engaged? A. By assuming we didnt see all at first. B. By searching for the ignored elements. C. By approaching whatever task is at hand. D. By keeping focused on every experience. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Novel Exp
