But there is no such service in Green Ban, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U. S. capital, Washington D. C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Ban, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library.

People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.The observatory(天文台)is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation (NSF)spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.Jonah Bauserman is a technician.

Every day in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons. No matter whether we lie these lessons or not, we have to tae them, because they are our lessons. Why are we here in this world? What is the purpose of life? Humans have tried to discover the meaning of life for thousands of years, but failed to get the answer, because the meaning of life is different from person to person.Each one of us has his or her special purpose and path, unique and different. As we travel on our life path, wewill learn many great lessons in order to fulfill that purpose. Learning our lessons well is the ey to discovering the real meaning of our own life.As we travel through our lifetime, we may be taught hard lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with problems we don’t need to deal with. We may n ever now why we love English, not physics, which indicates that our path is different. While traveling on our own path, sometimes alone, we should, first of all, tae a basic lesson in openness.Openness means being receptive. Life will present us with so many lessons, none of which are useful to us unless we can recognie them and are open to their values. These lessons are not easy to learn, but we should regard them as gifts. But how can we recognie these lessons? It is a matter of what “glasses” we are we aring at the time. It is not difficult to spot them if we tae them as opportunities. So when we are not open to learning our lessons, failing a weely English test might be lie a disaster rather than an opportunity to us. Of course, the hard lessons may not be fun, but they can actually be the biggest gifts we receive from life.29．The author may be in favor of the viewpoint that all men are born ________.A. equalB. differentC. to learn lessonsD. ready for challenge30．The eample of “we love Englis h, not physics" is mentioned to show that we ________.A. choose our own path in lifeB. need to face some hard lessonsC. discover the meaning of our own lifeD. realie the necessity of openness31．Whether we can see life lessons as gifts depends upon our ________.A. angles of viewB. common value systemC. eperiences from lifeD. willingness to face challenge32．What would be the best title for the passage?A.

Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they loo lie their surroundings and swiftly draw bac when humans are near. Golden Poisonous FrogsThe golden poison from might be the most-deadly of the South American animals, which is protected by means of poison.
