11.If life is a beach,then a village in Ireland has come back from the dead after the sand returned 33years later due to a freak tide.
Dooagh beach on Achill Island in the west of Ireland,was washed away in 1984after storms hit the area,leaving a rocky foreshore.The tourists left,causing the hotels and guesthouses as well as the cafes to close down.But in April this year,the sand returned over a ten-day period caused by an unusually high tide that deposited hundreds of thousands of tons of sand along the 300m beach,bringing the beautiful beach back to its former glory.
Emmet Callaghan from Achill Island Tourist Office told the journalist that the people of the island were excited at the beach's reappearing."It's so nice for the villagers to have their beach back.It is an incredible example of the force and power of nature and how the coast can change in a matter of days.Yesterday we had traffic block here in the village with cars and people coming from all over Ireland and the UK to see our new beach,"he said."The people here have always spoken about their days on the beach and how they enjoyed it as children.To have it back with their kids is unbelievable.Now locals are hoping that the beach is given the blue flag status.We already have five blue flag beaches and hopefully,if we keep our beach here,we'll have a sixth."
Dr Ivan Haigh from the University of Southampton said there were two explanations as to why the beach has reformed."It could be a change in sediment (沉积物) supply,from further up or down the coast which has brought a fresh amount of sediment to the beach,"he said."It could also be due to a change in environmental conditions,either a change in the wave climate or a series of tides that have provided the ideal conditions for this beach to reform."
The tourism office and locals hope the new beach will stay,at least for the summer of this year.

16.Why Does Walking through Doorways Make Us Forget?We've all done it.Run upstairs to get your keys,but forget that it is them you're looking for once you get to the bedroom.Open the fridge door and reach for the middle shelf only to realize that we can't remember why we opened the fridge in the first place.
We can understand those temporary moments of forgetfulness may be more than just an annoyance.Although these errors can be embarrassing,they are also common.It's known as the"Doorway Effect",and it shows some important features of how our minds are organized.Understanding this might help us accept those temporary moments of forgetfulness as more than just an annoyance.
The Doorway Effect occurs when our attention moves between levels,and it reflects the trust in our memories---even memories for what we were about to do---on the environment we're in.
Imagine that we're going upstairs to get our keys and forget that it is the keys we came for as soon as we enter the bedroom.Psychologically,what has happened is that the plan ("Keys!") has been forgotten even in the middle of carrying out a necessary part of the strategy ("Go to bedroom!").Probably the plan itself is part of a larger plan ("Get ready to leave the house!"),which is part of plans on a wider and wider field ("Go to work!","Keep my job!","Be a productive and responsible citizen",or whatever).Each field requires attention at some point.Somewhere in controlling the complex levels the need for keys suddenly comes into mind.
Our memories,even for our goals,are planted in webs of connections.That can be the physical environment in which we form them,which is why revisiting our childhood home can bring back a flood of previously forgotten memories,or it can be the mental environment---the set of things we were just thinking about when that thing suddenly comes into mind.
The Doorway Effect occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments,moving to a different room and thinking about different things.That hurriedly thought-up goal,which was probably only one plate among the many we're trying to spin(旋转),gets forgotten when the context changes.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for write to me.In your e-mail,you asked me how my life was in the senior school.
Well,my life here is really amazed,and it makes me feel excited and a little stressed.Talking of senior English learning,I have learned about some interesting and meaningful topic.From Anne's Diary,I have learned about her family hid away for over two years in order to be caught by the German Nazis during World War  II.Beside,I have learned about the development of English.In a fact,the English language has changed quite a lot over the last four centuries.In addition,what impresses me most is the Tangshan earthquake,it almost destroyed the whole city.It were people,including workers,doctors that came to rescue those who were trapping under the ruins.
Well,I will tell you more next time if you are interested.
Yours,
