11、well-known temples. One day, I was taking a nap in the red chair in my office when I woke up to the sound of a car crash. I sat up and looked, immediately, out my window. Across the street, in a parking lot, a car had just backed into a chain-link fence. The car must have been moving fast, because i

12、t was in bad shape: Its hood had popped up. The fence was damaged, bent out in exactly the shape of the cars back end. I watched the driver get out of the car. He was strong with a shaved head; he wore cargo shorts and a flannel (法兰绒) shirt unbuttoned to expose his chest hair. I disliked him immedia

13、tely. After a few seconds of assessing the damage, he attempted to pull the ruined fence back into place, but it wouldnt move. He tried to push the fallen piece of bumper back onto his car, but that only made the rest of his bumper fall off too. I sat in my red chair, looking out my window, silently

14、 cheering. I think I laughed out loud. This was a ridiculous masterpiece. He climbed out from under the collapsed fence and limped back to the apartment building above the lot, rubbing his elbow. The manthat disgusting manwas going to leave all the chaos behind for someone else to clean up. But the

15、man appeared a few minutes later with some tools. He got to work immediately, removing one of the fences bent support bars and hammering it straight on the asphalt (沥青). For the next hour, I watched out my window as he doggedly(固执地) fixed the fence, even improved it. Now the fence would be extra sec

16、ure, stronger than before, impossible to damage. This strange man was actually a hero. I was the lazy one, with my kneejerk (应激反应) judgments, my superiority (优越感) from three stories up. My ugly assumptions, I realized, were all about myself. I would never have fixed that fence; I would have panicked

17、 and run away. Years later, I still look out my window at that fence almost every day. It still looks brand new, It makes me wonder what else that man has improved, and how I can make myself more like him.4Why did the driver leave a bad first impression on the writer?ABecause he badly damaged the fe

21、r. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly. Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings b

22、egin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this. A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the an

23、swer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of informationthe time of day and the point where the sun is in the skyallow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the

24、 places where it will spend the winter. The solution to the mystery of the monarchs amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflie

25、s is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat. The research on the monarchs behavior has however led to a greater awareness of this creature

26、. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on.

30、iefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic turkeys. Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homers The Odyssey,
