You may have returned the book late to the library before. It is normal to pay a small fine, but how many would you have to pay if the book was returned 65 years late ?
This is a problem what John R. Rogers High School in Washington, US had to deal with recently. A copy of Gone With the Wind that was 65 years overdue was finally returned back to its library. However, the school said on December 2nd that it would not charge late fees of the book, which would have added up about $475 (2941 yuan).
The long-overdue book is checked out of the library of the high school in 1949, and seemed to disappearing until it was found in Maine, US, by Wayne Hachey. He found the book in his father's basement and then offered to send it back to the school. “We are delightful to have the book back, but we wonder how it has been,” Lori Wyborney, principal of the school, said.
Recently, we have already shown that climate change has led to a dramatic increase in storm surge risk in New York City, making devastating events like Hurricane Sandy more likely.
What can we say about the role of climate change in the unprecedented disaster that is unfolding in Houston with Hurricane Harvey? There are certain climate change-related factors that we can, with great confidence, say worsened the flooding.
Sea Level rise attributable to climate change-some of which is due to coastal subsidence(下沉) caused by human disturbance such as oil drilling-is more than half a foot(15cm) over the past few decades. That means the storm surge was half a foot higher than it would have been just decades ago, meaning far more flooding and destruction.
In addition to that, sea surface temperatures in the region have risen about 0.5C(close to 1F) over the past few decades from roughly 30C(86F) to 30.5C(87F), which contributed to the very warm sea surface temperatures(30.5-31C, or 87-88F). There is a simple thermodynamic(热力学的) relationship known as the Clausius-Clapeyron equation that tells us there is a roughly 3% increase in average atmospheric moisture content for each 0.5C of warming. Sea surface temperatures in the area where Harvey intensified were 0.5-1C warmer than current-day average temperatures, which translates to 1-1.5C warmer than “average” temperatures a few decades ago. That means 3-5% more moisture(水分) in the atmosphere. That large amount of moisture creates the potential for much greater rainfalls and greater flooding. The combination of coastal flooding and heavy rainfall is responsible for the devastating flooding that Houston is experiencing.
Not only are the surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico unusually warm right now, but there is a deep layer of warm water that Harvey was able to feed upon when it intensified at near record pace as it neared the coast. Human-caused warming is penetrating down into the ocean. It's creating deeper layers of warm water in the Gulf and elsewhere. Harvey was almost certainly more intense than it would have been in the absence of human-caused warming, which means stronger winds, more wind damage and a larger storm surge.
Finally, the more tenuous but potentially relevant climate factors: part of what has made Harvey such a devastating(毁灭性的) storm is the way it has stalled near the coast. It continues to strike Houston and surrounding regions with a seemingly endless flood, which will likely top out at nearly 4ft(1.22m) of rainfall over a days-long period before it is done. The stalling is due to very weak prevailing winds, which are failing to steer the storm off to sea, allowing it to spin around and wobble back and forth. This pattern, in turn, is associated with a greatly expanded subtropical high pressure system over much of the US at the moment, with the jet stream pushed well to the north. This pattern of subtropical expansion is predicted in model simulations of human-caused climate change. More tenuous(微弱的), but possibly relevant still, is the fact that very persistent, nearly “stationary” summer weather patterns of this sort, where weather anomalies(both high-pressure dry hot regions and low-pressure stormy/rainy regions) stay locked in place for many days at a time, appears to be favoured by human-caused climate change.
In conclusion, while we cannot say climate change “caused” Hurricane Harvey, what we can say is that it exacerbated several characteristics of the storm in a way that greatly increased the risk of damage and loss of life. Climate change worsened the impact of Hurricane Harvey.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the most useful ways can improve our English writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time, which can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. We can record the people and things we meet in our daily life. Keeping a diary is also a good activity we can train our patience and perseverance (恒心). If we keep trying this practice, gradually we'll learn how to express(us) in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble(find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly,there are many idiomatic(表达方式地道的) ways to describe things in Chinese. And it is (extreme) hard for us to put them into English properly.
My(propose) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something troubles us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer to our dictionary. The reason we should do so is that accumulation is very important in the learning process. When necessary, we also have our English teacher to we can turn for help. In short, I believe that it isgreat use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.

Dear Chris,
I learn that some people laugh at me for being overweight. Don't be so worried about your figure.
I know a group calling HOOP from the Internet, which is established to be the voice of the overweight persons. It made up of a group of friendly and supportive people, all understanding the struggle of being overweight. So you will not feel lonely when you exercise. There are a plenty of activities and trainer who don't push you to do what you dislike. With their support and encourage it's easy for you to leave your comfort zone and try something new.
I would high recommend HOOP to you. Whether it's to complete a personal challenge and start a healthier lifestyle, HOOP can really help you become the best version of you. Although you keep exercising, your figure will be good than before. Best wishes!
Yours,
Vivian

The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
David, Aged 19
I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total 1 , bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt 2 alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my 3 into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to 4 kindness made me feel like my life had a greater 5 .The more positive energy I 6 , the more kindness and 7 I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to 8 to people, especially teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my 9 friends back then. I was so 10 that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest 11 was to become an author so I could 12 books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After 13 terrible experiences at school, I made a choice to take the 14 , positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream 15 , one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is 16 I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this 17 opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness 18 me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone's life. You never know what someone else is 19 . But by practising daily kindness, you can become a(n) 20 of positive change.

We all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.
Twenty stories later, though, it's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness—and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That's the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor. Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn't watch TV.
Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it's often bigger than the doctor want it to be.
Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.
In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even thought it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread, and her prognosis(诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.
I've picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is we're living for.

Our character,41, is a combination of our habits. “Sow a thought, harvest an action; sow an action, harvest a habit; sow a habit, harvest a character; sow a character, harvest a 42__,” the saying goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious 43 , they constantly, daily express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once 44 it, “Habits are like a rope. We weave a string of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his 45 I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn’t a(n) 46 fix. It involves a 47 and a faithful commitment.
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo II were quite amazed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. 48 to get there, those astronauts obviously had to break out of the huge gravity pull of the earth. 49 energy was spent in the first few minutes of 50 in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
Habits, 51 have huge gravity pull more than most people realize or would 52 . Breaking deeply 53 habits such as delay, hesitation, impatience or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness 54 more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” 55 a great effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom 56 a whole new dimension.
57 any natural force, gravity can work 58 us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may 59 be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity that pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cooperation and 60 necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
