We humans really like the Sun. We love the 【1】 the Sun provides. Do you know how 【2】 the Sun is to us here on Earth? What would happen if the Sun 【3】 disappeared or went out?

Everything in the solar system goes around the Sun. The Sun draws all the planets in the solar system toward it. Since Earth and all the other planets are moving very fast through space, the Sun’s presence (存在) keeps them 【4】 around itself. If the Sun were to suddenly disappear, Earth and the other planets would keep their 【5】 motion（运动）, flying off into outer space in a straight line.

While some humans might be able to survive on a Sun-less Earth for several days, months, or even light from the Sun 【6】 eight and a half minutes to reach Earth, so we wouldn’t notice immediately if the Sun suddenly went out. However, nine minutes later, we would find 【7】 in complete darkness.

Without the Sun’s warmth, Earth would quickly become a much 【8】 place. 【9】estimate (估计) that the average global surface temperature would drop below -17℃ within a week or so. Within a year, the average global surface temperature could drop below -70℃! Years, life without the Sun would eventually（最终）be【10】 to maintain (维持).

The program for International Student Assessment(PISA), which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students, carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people.

This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems. But this was not the case for every country. Chinese students, who usually can get high scores as well, displayed just common collaborative(合作的)skills.

“One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades, said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president ( 前副经理 ) of the Chinese Family Education Association. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they regard school as a place for competition.”

“However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students today’s society,” he added. “Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve it.”

Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls are most likely to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitude( 态 度 ) toward relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions.

PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class discussion, students would have better attitudes towards collaborating.

The Boy Made It!

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a strong snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he turned off the path by accident. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas didn’t know where he was. He tried to keep calm. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find a shelter(遮盖物)from the freezing wind and snow so his body temperature wouldn’t get very low to kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he put branches on himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how long he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help but found nobody. He returned to the snow cave - without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is left in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing story, he was surprised that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

The dog moved his tail happily after hearing the words and came to the boy. The boy held out a piece of his bread.

“Why did you do that ?” said the boy. He had an unhappy face. “I didn’t hurt you, nor ask you for money.”

My friend and I were sitting on our beach chairs while watching our girls playing in the surf on that summer morning. About 50 yards from us, a man--- maybe in his late 50s—was fishing with big poles(鱼竿）.

After running for a while, the girls reached him and watched him. He smiled at them. They ran back to us—all except my three-year-old Alice. Instead, she sat down next to the man.

“Alice! Come here! Play with your friends!” I said, very worried that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren’t working. Hearing me, Alice ran over to me. Then she looked me in the eye, “I want to be with the man.” She ran back, sat down next to him again, and started digging.

Every few seconds I watched back to Alice to make sure she was safe. Just a man fishing. A little girl sitting.

In the second, Alice had started talking. Her mouth was moving. She was probably telling the man where we lived and how her father was away on business and how her mother sometimes let her ride bikes with her brother in the driveway alone. He nodded, then laughed.

A few seconds later, she ran back to us, waving something very shiny and slimy. “Look, Mommy! A toy fish!” It was a yellow rubber toy fish, which must have been what he was using for bait(鱼饵). And he’d given it to Alice. The three other girls all reached for the fish. Alice looked at me for help, then at the man, then back to me.

“My friend gave me that fish!” She said. Tears were fast falling. Just as I didn’t know how to solve the problem, suddenly, there he was: the man, standing right next to us. He was holding three more rubber fish. He handed them to each of the girls.“ Thank you,” the girls said, with their face shining like the sun. There is evil(罪恶）...but there is also the lesson for mothers to learn that only three-year-old could teach them. The man waved at us and walked back to his poles.
