Dear Mike，

My deskmate lately told me that there are a lot of people in my class who have hated me for a long time. I thought about how I've behaved in the past, but I don't think I did anything wrong. I feel lonely and sad now. What should I do?

Julia,

Dear Julia，

First, you should keep in mind that not everyone is going to like you all the time.Some people might even hate you for no reason at all. I know that sounds unfair, but that's just how some people are.

I will say this for you, it is not good to hear that your classmates supposedly（据说）dislike you. Why did I say“supposedly"? It's possible that your deskmate is lying to you. He or she might be the one who hates you. Your deskmate might be trying to trick you and make you feel bad.

On the other hand, it is also possible that you did something in the past that you don't quite remember—something that made your classmates dislike you. Maybe you can have a chat with your teacher and ask him or her if you misbehaved or hurt someone in the past. However, I think it's more likely that your deskmate isn't being honest with you.

Mike

Pete walked across the stage as the crowd sat 【1】.He came near to the huge. Shiny and baby piano.Pete took his seat at the piano bench,putting his hands on the keys and his feet on the pedals(踏板)underneath.His music paper was open in front of him,【2】he didn’t need it. Pete took a deep breath and gently pressed down the keys, sending out the 【3】 note of the song.

Pete couldn’t remember clearly what happened next because he lost himself completely in the music. It seemed as if he could imagine the feelings and 【4】 of the person who wrote the music. When Pete reached the song’s most exciting part, he leaned back and 【5】his eyes. He swayed and shook with the【6】notes ,letting them move through his body.At one point during the song, a tear even welled up in Pete’s left eye. He couldn’t 【7】it. The music was just so lovey.

【8】his hands vibrated(震动) with the last note of the piece, Pete began to notice his surroundings(周围环境)again. He heard the slow-building applause from the audience.He opened his eyes and looked【9】 at the piano keys under his long. Narrow fingers. The piano gave off its last sound,and Pete turned to face the【10】.They were on their feet, clapping wildly.

Ending racial(种族的) differences

【2】This can force people to leave their homelands and move to other places. One result of this is gene flow (基因). This term describes the mixing of genes between populations, Scott Solomon, a biologist at Rice University in the US, told the Daily Mail

Making insects hungrier

According to Science Daily, when it is warmer, insects' body temperatures go up along with the outside temperature. This is very different from humans and other mammals(哺乳动物) ,who can keep their body temperature at a certain level without being affected by the weather.

Higher body temperatures can increase the insects' metabolism(新陈代谢

【4】In addition, Increasing temperatures also make insects breed (繁殖 )more quickly

Helping scientists find historic sites

【5】After the dry weather turned the country’s green landscape yellow, people noticed some usually pattern（图案）in the middle of a field . That’s because grass that grows above historic has a different color ang height from other grass. This helped people see the patterns.

After studying these patterns, scientists found Neolithic(新石器时代) monuments(纪念碑) and a Roman farm

A. Britain had a very dry and hot summer this year because of global warming ,the Independent reported.

B. But did you know that global warming can also bring other, less obvious long-term changes?

C. In just 125 years, there may be fewer people with dark skin or pale skin.

D. Global warming causes droughts and poor harvests.

E. This makes them hungrier, so they need to eat more.

In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice cream was weighed, while the volunteers were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten. On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers.

According to the experiment, people who were blindfolded got 9 percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They greatly overestimated (高估) howmuch they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers thought they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had. Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time.

They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted. The blindfolded group had a poorer opinion of the ice-cream than those who could see. The experienced pleasure of eating was much lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased theappetite(食欲). Sight plays an important role in the overall eating experience.

If you are still on the way, maybe it is a good choice for you.
