Have you ever missed something in your life?

The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Upset, the husband replied: "I missed a new job opportunity. " When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband sadly said: "I missed the opportunity to see my relative before his last breath. "At 55, the husband said disappointingly: "I missed a good chance to retire. " At 65, the husband hurriedly replied: "I missed a dental appointment. " At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more, and the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: " In this life, I did not miss having you!" The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work. So he had never been circumspect to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said: "Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me!"

Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now.

Life is not permanent, so always live in the now. Express your gratitude to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat everyday as the last day of life. In this way, when you are gone, your loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.

You may not know it but on our biosphere (生物圈)— Earth — there is also a relatively unknown world hiding in plain sight. It is made up of microbes (微生物) that live on floating pieces of plastic floating on the ocean.

This "Plastisphere" of microbial organism living on ocean plastic was first discovered last year and it is now getting studied. When researchers first examined the Plastisphere, they found at least 1,000 different types of microbes living on the tiny plastic islands, and worried that they might cause a risk to larger animals and humans. They also found that the Plastisphere ' s microbes included bacteria known to cause diseases in animals and humans. Since then, researchers have been trying to figure out why these potentially dangerous bacteria live on the Plastisphere, how they got there and how they are affecting the surrounding ocean.

New evidence suggests that " super-colonizers" form seeable clusters ( 丛) on the plastic in minutes. Other findings indicate that some types of harmful bacteria favor plastics more than others. And, scientists are exploring if fish or other ocean animals may be helping these pathogens ( 病原体) develop quickly by taking in the plastic. That could allow bacteria to acquire additional nutrients as they pass through the guts(肠子) of the fish, said Tracy Mincer, an associate scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods hole. Mass.

Showing this information could help scientists better understand how much of a potential threat

these harmful bacteria cause and the role the Plastisphere plays in the largest ocean ecosystem, including its potential to change nutrients in the water. That information could also help reduce the impact of plastic pollution in the ocean, Mincer said.

B. they might cause diseases to sea animals or humans

C. they will make the sea polluted more severely

D. they may reduce the food for the fish in the sea

29. How long does it take the microbes to form seeable clusters. on the plastic.

A. Several years.

B. A week

C. A few seconds.

D. A few minutes

30. What s the passage mainly about?

A. The latest research on the Ocean.

B. Plastisphere affecting the surrounding Ocean.

C. The secret world of the floating ocean Plastisphere.

D. Worries about the microbes on floating pieces of plastic.

31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The process of the study still has a long way to go.

B. The potential threat of the bacteria does great harm to animals and humans.

C. The study is of great significance.

D. Scientists are studying further information about the microbes.

We all have our favourite teachers — those who treat us equally. But what about those teachers we don' t know as well ( for even don' t like much ) ?

You can do lots of things to get a relation with your teacher. First, do the following: 36 Complete all homework on time. Be attentive, be respectful, and ask questions. 37 Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn' t have decided to teach them! Showing the teacher that you care, even if you' re not good at math or fluent-in French— send the message that you are a dedicated student.

You can also schedule a private meeting during a teacher' s free period. 38 You can ask questions, inquire about a career in the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one on one than when lecturing in front of the whole class.

However, here are some things to avoid when trying to establish a relationship with your teacher: 1- 39 Teachers sense when your only motivation is to get special treatment, a college reference, or a job suggestion.

2. Trying to be teachers' pet. You just attract the teachers' attention on purpose and your classmates may start to hate you.

3. 40 It' s OK to offer a small sign of thanks to teachers if they've been helpful to you. But a teacher is usually not allowed to accept the wrong message, and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.

A. Giving expensive gifts.

B. Show up for class on time.

C. Not being sincere.

D. Find the practical value in classes.

E. Use this time to get extra help.

F. Show an interest in the subject.

G. Get along better with your teachers.
