It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes (

龙卷风

), the most peaceful place is the

centre:

the

eye

of

the

storm.

But

a

photo

taken

this

week

in

the

small

Canadian

town

of

Three

Hills,

Alberta,

suggests

that

there

is

perhaps

no

place

more

peaceful

than

inside

the

calm

mind

of

The

unis

Wessels.

It all started when Mr Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine

-year- old daughter that he was

cutting grass in their yard while a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to

come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the

storm. The photo, which has been shared widely on social media, is a masterclass in calmness.

In it, the sockless Mr Wessels, dressed casually in summer shorts and sunglasses, is seen never being

upset by the disastrous column of cloud.

“

I took the picture just to show my mum and dad in South Africa,

‘Look, there’s a tornado,’ and now everyone is like, ‘Why is

your husband cutting the grass?’”

Cecilia

told the Times Colonist.

When asked later about

the tornado’s approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, “

I was keeping an eye

on it,

”

seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect.

“

Alberta, Canada,

”

wrote one admiring Twitter user,

“

where men face the elements and do what needs to be done.

”

A writer

for Esquire magazine

struck

a

pensive

note:

“

I

can

understand

The

unis,

”

Peter

Wade

admitted,

“

sometimes when the world is raging (

it.

If ever an architectural feature expressed an aspect of national English character , a

“

folly (

装饰

性建筑

)

”

does so. Just for the purpose of definition let us call a folly an architectural construction which

isn’t what it appears to be.

The

first

rush

of

folly

construction

in

England

seemed

to

have

been

caused

by

Sir

Thomas

Tresham’s Rushton Triangular Lodge (1595). The Lodge was an exercise in expressing Tresham’s views

on the secret symbolism of number three, the Passion of Christ, and the Trinity.

In fact, many follies were constructed as tangible (

有形的

)symbols for certain ideas or ideals. Rushton

Triangular Lodge co-existed with another early folly, Preston Tower in Surrey. As the 17th century began,

a craze went among the well-to-do of building follies of all description. But that was nothing compared to

what was to follow in the 18th century. At Stowe, Lord Cobham built the Temple of Ancient Virtue in

classical style, and then matched it with a purpose-built ruin, the Temple of Modern Virtue, to emphasize

his strong philosophic and political leanings.

The

trend

towards

classical

ruins

in

landscape

architecture

was

brought

about

in

part

by

the

popularity of the Grand Tour in the 17th century. Many young men toured Greece and Italy, impressed

with the ruined classical buildings they saw there. Back in England, they attempted to introduce many of

the similar themes they had seen on their travels.

Their passion for follies dwindled (

减少

)in the late 18th century, but it can never be said that it

died out entirely as the English love of the strange and odd statement of individuality lives on.

does the example of Lord Cobham suggest?

A. Some follies once experienced serious destruction.

B. Classic architecture was especially popular then.

C. Architecture could reflect architects’ inner thought.

D. Stowe features various classic and modern follies.

benefit did the Grand Tour bring to English architecture?

A. Enriching the forms of follies.

B. Shaping many famous architects.

C. Lengthening the architecture’s lifetime.

D. Strengthening the architecture’s steadiness.

contributes to the lasting existence of English follies?

A. The great economic value of them.

B. The diverse spiritual meaning of them.

C. The English people’s pursuit of the unique.

D. The architects’ passion for classical beauty.

A. The great popularity of English follies.

The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be

living

at

home

with

her

parents.

But

through

working

as

a

part-time

skating

instructor

and

restaurant

server, she isn’t able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.

To some degree, multigenerational households(

家庭

) have always been a part of American life. However,

the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents

—

or never leaving home in

the first place

—

has been growing steadily.

UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number

of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave.

The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (

千禧一代

) get some kind of financial support from their

parents after college. It

finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children.

Millennials see their parents as peers (

同龄人

), friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with

their

parents

more

than

once

a

week

during

college.

In

return,

their

parents

happily

provide

financial

support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.

They may like living at home and being able to save money.

“There’s

money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child- raising,

”

Hoffman explained.

“

But

they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don’t have a house expense or marriage.

I

don’t know if it represents a change in moral values. But it’s much more common for adult children to

live in their parents’ homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”

into your work and you’ll find that the motivation takes care of itself.

Keep

track

of

your

tasks,

and

mark

them

when

they

are

finished.

One

stay

motivated

at

every

success.

Working

isn’t

always

fun.

39

The

best

40

Instead

of

always

complaining

about

a

terrible

boss,

difficult

tasks,

and

co- workers, think about the things you do enjoy. Make a list of the positives in your work and try to think

about them every time you hear yourself complaining or thinking about the negatives.

B. Focus on the reasons to work, not the reasons not to.

C. Assess your role and the role you hope to fill at work.

D. Don’t force yourself to be remotivated for work every morning.

During my recent tour to Kunming, I met a young Australian. I helped him get on board the train with

his luggage, and we began to chat in English. I learned that he was 21,

61

(study) at the University of

Sydney. He

62

(travel) a lot before, not only in China but also in many other

(part) of Asia,

and

he

seemed

to

know

so

much

about

the

Asian

history,

and

was

even

familiar

64

ancient

and

modern Chinese literature.

He did not limit

65

to classroom reading only. He said if one really wants to know the world, he or

she should

66

(frequent) go out

to

see, hear

and find out

about

real

life.

I’m older than him.

Yet

I

found myself less

(knowledge) than him. Besides, like some students at college, I even look down

upon those

early. We don’t have to work
