He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother

9、 told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard dont succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These

10、words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work dont mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners wer

11、e looking for. Johns mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of wordsas an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, Johns mother offered

12、him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mothers words in mind.

Even reading ab

16、out yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism （自

17、闭症） are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people municate and connect. Emotional infection seems to be a born thing t

18、hat connects us together, said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. Yawning may be part of that. Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn ba

19、ck. He never did.The fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them, she said. The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we bee humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from other

20、s, she added. Autistic people never seem to understand that. Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a g

Most people would think that aside from ets（彗星） and stars, there is little else o

25、ut there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash there that scientists are now concerned that if we dont clean it up, we may all be in mortal （致命的）danger.The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its

26、connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly fortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.It is estimated that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting

27、the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.The major problem with the space tras

28、h is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft. Moreover, pieces of junk may collide with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larg
