To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. In spite of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always!

Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的）art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much that we end up anious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that \much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to loo foward to the future will only repeat themselves so that \，\while we are busy maing other plans. \，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

Many people live as if life were dress rehearsal for some late date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have，and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future—we won’t have enough money，our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.

To combat fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention bac to the present. Mar Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life，some of which actually happened.” I don't thin I can say it any better. Practice eeping your attention on here and now. Your efforts will pay off. 28.In the first paragraph, the author tells us to focus on_________. A. the past

B. the future

C. every day

D. the present

29.Why do we often have some negative feelings? A. Because we often forget what happened in the past.

B. Because we are often disturbed by what happened in the past and what will happen in the future.

C.Because we often pay attention to what is happening at present.

D. Because we often ignore what will happen in the future and what happened in the past. 30. The underlined word in the last paragraph means ________ A.depend B. deserve 31. The best title of this passage is___ A.Always live in the present moment B.Never forget the past C.Never complain about life D.Always get prepared for the future

Gold is one of the rarest materials on Earth and has always been considered a valuable and precious resource. It's very liely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the world's biggest buyers of gold jewellery. It's even in our smartphones - they contain parts made from this epensive material.

But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer outer space.

This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational waves（引力波）caused by the collision of neutron (中子）stars, reported inhua News Agency.

The sight was witnessed at China's unlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, China’s first -ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery.

Although collisions of blac holes have been recorded before, this was the first time that two neutron stars were nown to have collided. It's believed that such collisions lead to huge eplosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.

“The collision of neutron stars is lie a very large gold factory in the universe,” Jin hiping，a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told inhua.

According to an article published by space, scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasn't until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.

“The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time,” Hans-Thomas Jana, a senior scientist at the Ma Planc Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release. “Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并) as sources.”

Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist

Don’t epect to be showered in gold any time soon, however. The collision actually too place 130 million years ago, taing all that time for the event's light to reach Earth.

But at least if you want to see a piece of space up close, all you have to do is to loo at the ring on your

C. determine

D. defeat

mom's finger - or the smartphone in your pocet.

32. What's the author's purpose of writing the first two paragraphs? A.To emphasie the rareness of gold. B.To list some uses of gold in daily life. C.To eplain the reasons for the popularity of gold. D.To interest readers about the source of gold.

33.What would the collision of neutron stars lead to according to inhua? A.The creation of blac holes. B.The death of the stars.

C.The disappearance of gravitational waves. D.The creation of gold. 34. What’s the tet mainly about?

A. China’s unlun Antarctic Station does research into gold. B. Collisions between two neutron stars result in gold C. Collisions contribute to the discovery.

D.Gold is considered a valuable and precious rescource. 35. What can we learn from the article?

A.The amount of gold produced by the collision was very small. B.The collision was the largest reported in history. C.China played a big role in the new discovery. D.The collision too place 130 years ago.
