Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that is not the thing he prides himself on. "I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me," Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect.
The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It is one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia.
Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they could not afford on his sound engineer's salary and what they could, they did not like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who had already established homes there that they decided to join.
The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he has tried his best to be a good steward not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright's remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years.
The peak of Mount Qomolangma, 8,849 meters above sea level. Chimborazo, 6,263 m; Mont Blanc, 4,806 m; Pradidali hut, at the foot of the Pala group in the Dolomites, 2,278 m. It is common practice to provide the elevation of a place. Simple readings are now readily available on our phones and wearables. But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location.
The idea of sea level as a reference point for elevations has by now been around for so long as to go essentially unnoticed — we mention it without even considering what it means. That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book I tell a story of these assumptions.
Appropriately, the book took shape during a summer spent between sea and mountains. A month after visiting the French Riviera and enjoying the sandy beaches of Nice and Menton, I went hiking with friends in the Pala group. Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters. Why did they vary so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level.
In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level. These stages mirror the development of human conceptions of the sea. Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993.
The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car.
Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe's difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market.
Sixteen stations of Barcelona's subway system are part of its new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the underground trains' brakes is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables to the surface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles.
Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. "I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in," Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. "And if it is from energy from the trains' brakes, then even better."
Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers.
Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses — in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency.

Ways to Teach Kids Work Ethic Early
Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses? If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic in kids does not require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways.
• Make housework part of the family routine.
Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. 36 When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life.
• 37
You cannot expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you are complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they are far more likely to do the same.
• Build determination through goals.
38 Sometimes you have to help them find their "thing." Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback.
• Treat mistakes as opportunities.
Few things strike fear into a child's heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, do not jump in with a rescue mission. 39
Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. 40 No worry. Those habits you are building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience and satisfaction.
选项：
A. The key is consistency.
B. Help kids develop analytical skills.
C. Model the work ethic you want to see.
D. Instead, encourage them to do differently next time.
E. Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward.
F. Progress can be slow, and you'll wonder if it's all sinking in.
G. Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner.

I never thought I could be a writer. I did not come from a family connected to the 41 world, which I perceived as a major 42. After my undergraduate degree, convinced that writing was not for me, I 43 to study teaching.
Then came an afternoon that 44 everything. I was teaching poetry, encouraging students to write about their 45. And then, at the end of the lesson, one child asked me a question: "Have you always wanted to be a 46, Miss?" I explained that when I was his age, I actually wanted to be a writer, but I did not think I quite had what it 47. The boy replied with a 48 look, "Well, you are telling us to live our dreams when you have not even done it yourself. Have you even 49?"
I was struck speechless — he was 50. Who was I to 51 them on bravery and risk when I had never taken myself nor my own 52 seriously?
On the basis of that 53, I applied to go back to university and study creative writing. There were times when I found myself wondering if I should pack it all in, but the boy's words kept ringing in my ears. I knew I needed nothing else to succeed but a bit of 54 and hard work. I 55 to find a way out of my shame and into a pattern of work that I loved.

My first time doing tai chi
For the first 15 minutes of my tai chi class, we remain 56 (entire) in one spot to warm up. Angela, a tai chi 57 (instruct) with twenty-eight years of experience, says that a successful hour of tai chi is an hour with no negative thoughts. "Your mind 58 body go together. That is all that matters."
Although not a morning person, I begin my lesson with Angela and about twenty others at a Sydney community centre courtyard at 7am. "Put your 59 (foot) parallel, and use your dan tian to hold up your body," she says.
In tai chi, the dan tian is your qi core and qi in Chinese means life force. Now, I 60 (suppose) to feel the weight on my legs and sink my dan tian.
We move on to tai chi positions, of 61 there are forty-two in the style that Angela teaches. Today, we will only be doing the first nine. The movements have 62 (describe) names like "holding the bowl" and "grabbing the bird's tail."
During most of the class, we follow Angela and concentrate on making tiny, isolated movements. Then, Angela gets us to try the nine movements on our own. I keep my eyes 63 a woman to my right and try to copy her movements, but unfortunately I soon lose focus.
At the end of the lesson, I feel wide awake, despite it still 64 (be) early at 8am. It is time for my dan tian 65 (meet) another life force: coffee.

Dear Kate,
It is a great idea to make a collection of our English essays. I am writing to offer some feasible suggestions.
As far as I am concerned, I strongly suggest that you should match each article with vivid pictures. Pictures can make the book more attractive and help readers gain a deeper insight into our ideas. Besides, I am willing to take charge of drawing. I have taken painting classes before, which equipped me with relevant experience.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestion into account.
Yours,

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As far as I can remember, I have always been a night owl. Even in middle school I would stay up very late. I would feel completely at ease doing my homework in bed, with light music on. I found comfort in keeping myself awake when everyone else had gone to bed, and I loved the silence of the night. My parents urged me to get out of this so-called unhealthy habit, but their repeated requests fell on deaf ears.
Fast forward to my first year of college. I still loved the night and would stay up until unruly hours for no apparent reason, chatting online and watching videos. When I finally started to study, I would race through the assigned work, often well past midnight. My roommates would tell me to go to bed and get up early the following morning to do it instead. Get up early to do my homework? No way! I would never do that.
Then, one day last term, I did exactly that. Bent over my laptop while sitting on the bed in the corner of my room, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, and had to lie down. Unable to keep my eyes open, I decided I had no choice but to finish my homework the next morning. I woke up at 6am. Hardly had I written half a page when I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
At the school clinic, a doctor, with a serious expression on his face, handed me a medical report. "You are 20, but your heart is 40!" he said. A cold wave went through me. I realized that years of living as a late-night person had turned my heart into an overworked engine.

Struck by the doctor's warning, I knew I had to make a change.
Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off.
Struck by the doctor's warning, I knew I had to make a change. I made up my mind to break the bad habit of staying up late. From that day on, I stopped staying up to chat or watch videos. No longer would I scroll through my phone late into night, which had negative effects on my heart and energy. I set an alarm for eleven o'clock to force myself to rest early, promising never to repeat the stupid habit again. At first, I felt sleepy and uncomfortable, but I never gave up.
Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. I became energetic every day and my headache and chest pain disappeared gradually. Bathed in warm morning sunshine, I could focus better on study every day. Only then did I realize sufficient sleep is the key to a well-rounded life. Sometimes a small change in lifestyle makes a huge difference to our health. From this painful experience, I come to realize that good living habits lay the foundation for everything.
