19．Sunshine and moisture arebeneficial （有益的） to living things．

6．One October morning，I got off the all-night train in Mandalay，a city in Myanmar．A rough man came up and offered to show me around．The price he asked was less than I would pay for a bar of chocolate at home．So I climbed into his trishaw（三轮车）．
As he was showing me around，he told me how he had come to the city from his village．He'd earned a degree in mathematics．His dream was to be a teacher．But of course，life is hard here，and so for now，this was the only way he could make a living．Many nights，he told me，he actually slept in his trishaw so he could catch the first visitors off the all-night train．
And very soon，we found that in certain ways，we had so much in common---we were both in our 20s，we were both fascinated by foreign cultures----that he invited me home．
So we turned off the wide，crowded streets，and came to rough，wild alleyways（小巷）．I really lost my sense of where I was，and realized that I could easily get cheated or something even worse．
Finally，he stopped and led me into a hut．And then he reached under his bed．Something in me froze．I waited to see what he would pull out．And finally he took out a box．Inside it was every single letter he had ever received from visitors from abroad．
So when we said goodbye that night，I realized he had also shown me the secret point of travel，which is to go inwardly（向内心）as well as outwardly to places you would never go otherwise，to go into uncertainty，even fear．
At home，its dangerously easy to think we're on top of things．Out in the world，you are reminded every moment that you're not，and you can't get to the bottom of things，either．

A．He was feeling very cold
B．He didn't expect to see the letters
C．He was shocked by the room's bad condition
D．He thought the young man was going to hurt him
34．What is the author's opinion on travel？D
A．Fear nothing
B．Follow your heart
C．Enjoy the beauty of life
D．Be prepared for the unexpected
35．What does the phrase"get to the bottom of things"mean in the last paragraph？B
A．Solve the problems
B．Find out the truth
C．Get to know the place really
D．Learn about the bottom of society．

16．Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that in order to achieve contentment，one should"cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you，and to give thanks continuously．"It turns out Emerson-who explored the meaning of a good life in much of his work-wasn't far off when it comes to What we now know about counting one's blessings．Research is continually finding that expressing thanks can lead to a healthier，happier and less-stressed lifestyle．
How can we，as Emerson advised，be thankful for each thing that contributes to our lives？Below are four habits that could help you cultivate gratitude on a daily basis．
Keep a journal．-Research has shown that writing down what you're thankful for can lead to a range of wellness benefits．Keeping a gratitude journal can reinforce positive thoughts-something particularly helpful as the brain tends to naturally focus on what goes wrong．Putting pen to paper can also help you make more progress as you work toward personal goals．In order to reap the full benefits of keeping a journal，Dr Robert Emmons，gratitude researcher and psychology professor at the University of California，Davis，recommends writing for five to 10 minutes every other day．"You really need to commit to doing it，and if you write it down eventually it will become more automatic，"Emmons says．"It's like exercise-you're not just going to get up one morning and go running，you need to have a plan．
Don't avoid the negative．-Expressing gratitude has been proven to generate more optimism，but thankful people also don't shy away from the negative．Emmons says that while we often associate gratitude with focusing on the good and avoiding the bad，the key to leading a thankful life is embracing setbacks as part of your overall journey．Emmons suggests recalling a hard time you once experienced-chances are，you'll start to feel grateful for your current state and for overcoming former challenges．
Spend time with loved ones．-Thankful people know they didn't get to where they are by themselves-and they make it a habit to spend time with those people who matter most．"Gratitude really helps us connect to other people，"Emmons says．"It actually strengthens relationships and relationships are the strongest predictors of happiness and coping with stress．"Expressing appreciation for loved ones can also help create closeness by allowing others to see how you look at them．According to Dr．Michael E．McCullough，a University of Miami researcher，your feelings of gratitude benefit more than just yourself．"More than other emotion，gratitude is the emotion of friendship，"McCullough told the New York Times in 2011．"It is part of a psychological system that causes people to raise their estimates of how much value they hold in the eyes of another person．"
Volunteer．-Everyone needs a little help sometimes-and grateful people know there's no other way to acknowledge this than by paying it forward．In his book"Thanks!，"Emmons notes that those who volunteer often feel grateful for the experience to give back．"Since service to others helped them to find their own inner spirituality，they were grateful for the opportunity to serve，"he wrote．As recent research published in BMC Public Health points out，volunteering can result in fewer feelings of depression and increased overall well-being．Emmons suggests examining your own talents and use them to help others，noting that people become more grateful as givers rather than receivers．

3．Nearly every driver has experienced that feeling of great tiredness，where it becomes almost impossible to stay awake at the wheel.14-year-old Katherine Wu is too young to have experienced this situation firsthand．However，she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back from their family vacations in Florida to their home in Maryland．Her mom had to talk to her dad all the way．
"So I created a tool that can be used instead of my mum talking to my dad to make sure he stays awake and is safe，"she says．
Her invention，"Drivers'Companion"，can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road．
The user wears a headset，which sends information about the driver's brain waves to a tiny computer．The computer can be placed in front of the driver．The system then gives warnings，if needed．As the driver becomes sleepier，red color will be shown to warn him or her．The driver will also hear messages warning him to get off the road．The machine can say，"You're tired．Please take a break．"
After sending her invention to the 2016Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge，Wu was chosen as a finalist and was able to work with Dr．Jess Miller，who is a product development specialist．
"He helped me understand how important it is to make sure that my invention worked for the people who were using it and that it was user-friendly，"Wu says．
As a young scientist，Wu has some advice for other students of her age：I would like to tell them that they should choose something they're interested in．So they will be willing to spend more time on it and enjoy working on it more．Also，when there's difficulty，they should just continue working hard because they'll get over it"
