11、my house, however. Last week, I was watching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes welled up with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasnt the first time hed said it, and I was concerned that hed started to actually believe it

12、. I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes.

The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person ho

20、nored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity.

21、with parades and music.

Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patri

23、cks Day has helped the Irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy.

28、m the University of Utah about two years ago. According to the BBC, at first the researchers expected to find waters stored in small spaces between the rocks. What they actually found was a massive reservoir of water trapped in the ice, kind of like the liquid in a snow-cone. Newser quotes lead stud

29、y author Richard Forster saying, “we thought we had an understanding of how things work in Greenland, but here is this entire storage system of water we didnt realize was there.” OK, so snow water under the ice in Greenland; why is this a big deal? Well, researchers say it could provide new clues to

30、 understanding Greenlands ice melts and sea level rise in general. Voice of America quotes Forster saying, “of the present sea level rise, the Greenland ice sheet is the largest contributor, and it is melting at record levels, so understanding the aquifers (地下蓄水层) capacity to store water from year t
