Green Spring Renews Life’s Promise
For me, two of the loveliest words in the English language are “Life persists”. I came across them years ago as a college freshman, sitting in the library on a beautiful spring day, bored, working on a history paper, I don’t recall (21) what I was researching into. Out of nowhere, those two words came (22) dancing (dance) off the page in a quote
by Gandhi, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”
After those words (23) were read (read) again a dozen times, suddenly I was no longer bored. Outside in the sunshine, I kicked off my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green lawn.
I love spring. And this year, I was especially hungry to see it. Flying home last weekend to Las Vegas, after 10 days in California, I looked down on hills that were so green that I (24) could
almost taste them. When I approached Vegas,
the green turned a dull desert brown. We landed after sunset, and the only green to be seen was neon（霓虹灯）.
But the next morning, to my surprise, I (25) was awake
(awake) to find signs of spring all over my yard.
(26)With my absence, all sorts of things had leafed and bloomed. Three days later, I drove to Arizona to visit a friend
and get yet another taste of spring seeing the Giants play the A’s in spring training. The drive across the desert was completely great, a variety of wildflowers and blooming cactuses.
Sometimes we need the chance (27) to remind (remind) that we’re still alive. After my husband died, a friend
sent me a card which read: “Just (28) you think you will never smile again, life comes back.”
Life persists, and so do (29) we in the green of spring and the dead of winter, in the birth of a child and the
will remember us. Spring
passing of a loved one; in the words we leave behind and the hearts of those (30) who reminds us that we’re alive forever.

Today’s political climate and negative headlines seem to point towards a more inward-looking global population —

minds narrowing, borders going up. But with more people living and working overseas and becoming exposed to influences from different cultures, many of us are seeking a(n) 31 , connected world. According to the recently published study from Culture Trip, 60% of people in the US and UK say that their outlook on life is shaped by the 32 from different cultures. As a society, we not only want to discover and experience other cultures, we want to learn from them, too. This is one of the many positive side effects of globalization. At the same time, the economic landscape of the last decade has resulted in a shift in values away from 33 , with younger generations more interested in collecting experiences than possessions.
Welcome to the “new culture economy”.
The collision（ 碰 撞 ）of two trends — globalization and the experience economy — has 34 a new attitude to travel, with cultural curiosity at its heart. This is the “new culture economy”. The phenomenon is having a powerful impact on people’s interactions and definitions of 35 exploration, and presents an incredible commercial opportunity. While globalization is usually talked about in the context of the 36 of trade and capital between countries, we shouldn’t forget that the 37 force behind it all it people. Education, travel, exposure to other customs and geographies and the cultural integration ( 融合)are the more influential social effects of globalization. People are increasingly living or working in countries other than the ones in which they were born - more than half of respondents from the study have friends living overseas, all of which has 38 in more interaction with global cultures.
Also, student debt and unaffordable housing have created a(n) 39 in spending patterns, and so a new set of values has emerged in which experiences matter more than ownership. Travel is absolutely necessary to most people’s lives - in fact, nearly half of all respondents cut down on their daily expenses so they can save money to travel more. For “generation rent” in particular, no matter how expensive an experience or a trip, it is still more 40 than a house.

Communication, One Major Part of the Scientific Method
Scientists may feel it their duty to share their guesses, methods, and findings with the rest of the scientific community .This sharing serves two 41 . First, it supports the basic deal of skepticism （ 怀 疑 论 ） by making it possible for others to say, “Oh, yeah? Let me check that.” It tells others where to see what the scientist saw, and what techniques and tools to use. Second, it gets the word out so that others can use what has been discovered. This is essential because science is a(n) 42 efforts. People who work thousands of miles apart build with and upon each other’s discoveries.
The communication of science begins with “peer review”, a process of 43 an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the inspection of other experts. It typically has three stages. The first occurs when a scientists seeks funding —— from government agencies, foundations, or other 44 —— to carry out a research program. He or
she must prepare a report describing the intended work, laying out background, hypothese（s 假设）, planned experiments, expected results, and even the 45 impacts on other fields. Committees of other scientists then 46 the report to see whether the scientist knows his or her area, has the necessary abilities, and is realistic in his or her plans.
Once the scientist has the needed 47 , has done the work, and has written a report of the results, that reports
