I’d been dreaming of an Olympic gold medal since I was eight-but gradually, that dream seemed like a million miles away.On January 2,2012, while Mon was visiting me in Iowa, I told her, “I don’t l ike gymnastics anymore, I want to try dancing, or become a singer, I can get a job in Virginia, I just want to come home.”Mom’s eyes narrowed and her expression turned to stone. “You’re breaking my heart, Brie,” she said. “You’ve been doing gymnastics for ten years, and now you want to quit ? Have you lost your mind?”I hadn’t lost my mind, but I had lost my fire. It’s an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.“I’m not trying to break your heart, Mom,” I said. “I just don’t want to do it anymore.”“I know you miss home. But you’ve signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability. You’ve got a responsibility to your teammates. And now you just want to walk away ? I will not let you be d ishonorable, If you don’t like gymnastics, then at the very least, you will finish the season.”The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow’s gym, I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training.

In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a population of around 36,000, mouse than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the US.A weeklong drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to travel locally or internationally and work for problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel book about.During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “ alternative spring break ” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by hurricane. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter.Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church, or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around ＄250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break destination.Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the US. Students mention a number of reasons for participating. Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’s obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place. Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break from school work.66.

As long ago as the year 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book vividly describing a trip to the moon. On landing there, the explorers discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. Words failed to express their surprise when they spotted so many “ moon people ”. The “ moon people ” felt even more surprised “ Why, ” they asked, “ are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space ?”H. G. Wells could only imagine a travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really left their footsteps on the moon, People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the qu estion that the “ moon people ” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “ Channel ”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities ? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities ”.The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices. shopping, and so on. A solar dome （穹顶）would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development argue that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The space. they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells’ “ moon people ” would second it Would you ?71. The explorers in H. G.
