This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become 48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted 52 have a potential to explode into great projects.

PSY made the announcement on his Twitter page earlier today.Since its release, the song has defeated such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez‘s ‗On the Floor,‘ Eminem's ‗Love the Way You Lie‘ and LMFAO‘s ‗Party Rock Anthem.‘ And in September, 'Ga ngnam Style' also became the most liked video on YouTube, now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up.At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: ―In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY, your certificate is waiting here at our office, come pick it up any time!‖Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, ‗Gangnam Style‘ would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.The YouTube honors are just the latest in a long list that shows just how popular the song has become. Since it was released in July, the song has seen a meteoric rise through the music industry.It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody（恶搞）videos.It became a staple (主要部份)in the 2012 presidential elections with the now famous ‗Mitt Romney Style‘ video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader.Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.56.

Known as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recordedin Oymyakon was -71.2℃.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.Ironically, Oymyakon actually means 'non-freezing water' due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman.Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition is that their animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients.Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries—where a flurry of snow brings things grinding to a halt, Oymyakon's solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52℃.There are few modern conveniences in the village— with many buildings still having outdoor toilets - and most people still burn coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town shuts down in about five hours, and the pipes freeze and crack.Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions.Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days. The earth must first have melted sufficiently in order to dig it, so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours. Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug. The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.59. Which of the following statements about this village is true?A. Local children don‘t go to school because of the extreme cold.B. People there live a hard and simple life with few modern conveniences.C. People there have a healthy and balanced diets by eating vegetables and meat.D. The name of this village—Oymyakon suggests that it‘s extremely cold here.60. The sentence“If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a visit to the Russian village ofOymyakon might just change your mind.” can be put.A. before the first paragraphB. after the first paragraphC. after the sixth paragraphD. before the last paragraph61. What does the underlined phrase ―grinding to a halt‖ probably mean in this passage?A. stoppingB. growingC. continuingD. failing62. What is the purpose of writing this passage?A. To attract more people to visit this village.B. To inform readers of this special village.C. To help solve problems facing the village。
