I once heard it said of man that the idea is to die young as late as possible. At age 85, a favorite pastime of George H.W. Bush was firing up his boat, the Fidelity, and opening up the three 300 horsepower engines to fly, joyfully fly across the Atlantic with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up.我听过这么个说法，人最好年纪轻轻、充满活力的时候离开人世，不过，这份年轻、这种活力保持得越久越好。

父亲85岁时，最爱的消遣就是开他的快船——“忠诚”号快船，开足300马力飞驰，在大西洋上快乐飞驰，安保船只能在后面拼命追赶。

At age 90, George H.W. Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and landed on the grounds of St. Anne's by the Sea in Kennebunkport, Maine, the church where his mom was married and where he worshipped often. Mother liked to say he chose the location just in case the chute didn't open.90岁时，父亲从飞机上跳伞，降落在缅因州肯尼邦克港海边的圣安妮教堂前，我的祖母就是在那里举行的婚礼，父亲也经常去那里做礼拜。

父为子隐,子为父隐英语作文300字Father Conceals for his Son, Son Conceals for his Father.The bond between father and son is one of the most sacred and enduring relationships in human society. It is built on love, respect, and a shared history. In many cultures, this bond is so strong that it is considered a duty for fathers to protect their sons and for sons to honor their fathers.One of the most important ways that fathers can protect their sons is by concealing their mistakes. This does not mean that fathers should condone their sons' bad behavior, but it does mean that they should be willing to forgive them and help them to learn from their mistakes. When a father conceals his son's mistakes, he is not only protecting his son from the consequences of his actions, but he is also teaching him the importance of forgiveness and redemption.Sons, in turn, should be willing to conceal their fathers' mistakes. This does not mean that sons should lie for their fathers or cover up their crimes, but it does mean that they should be willing to forgive their fathers and help them to learn from their mistakes. When a son conceals his father's mistakes, he is not only protecting his father from the consequences of his actions, but he is also showing him the love and respect that he deserves.The bond between father and son is a two-way street. It is based on love, respect, and a shared history. When fathers and sons are willing to conceal each other's mistakes, they are strengthening their bond and creating a foundation for a lifelong relationship.Here are some examples of how fathers and sons have concealed each other's mistakes:In the Bible, the story of David and Absalom is a classic example of a father concealing his son's mistakes. David's son Absalom murdered his half-brother Amnon, andDavid was furious. However, David loved Absalom very much, and he was unwilling to punish him. Instead, David allowed Absalom to flee into exile.In the novel "The Godfather," Vito Corleone is a powerful Mafia boss who conceals his son Michael's crimes. Michael murders a rival gangster, and Vito knows that he will be arrested if he is caught. However, Vito loves Michael very much, and he is unwilling to let him go to prison. Instead, Vito takes the blame for the murder himself.In the film "The Shawshank Redemption," Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding is a convicted murderer who conceals his friend Andy Dufresne's escape from prison. Red knows that Andy is innocent, and he is unwilling to let him be recaptured. Instead, Red helps Andy to escape and start a new life.These are just a few examples of how fathers and sons have concealed each other's mistakes. The bond betweenfather and son is a powerful one, and it is often strong enough to overcome even the most difficult challenges.。

广东省江门市新会第一中学2023-2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解Train the important skills modern editors use to evaluate and enhance writing for clarity, precision and accuracy.In this course, students will learn how an editor approaches a submitted piece, going beyond sentence-level error and looking at the big picture around accuracy, style and organization. Understanding the different challenges in an editor’s job, students will get a behind-the-scenes look at this sometimes busy and often exciting career. Meanwhile, students will grow their own technical editing skills and return home a more competent editor.Using Gen Z Era as their case study, students will meet and study under the people who decide what topics are relevant and valuable to the audience and who determine the overall editorial strategy, ensuring that the content meets the standards and tone of the publication.Course Highlights● Visit the media city and attend lectures by award-winning guest speakers.● Assess articles as well as question and coach the authors to get the best piece possible.● Connect with professionals who manage the development and publication of accurate and worthy content.● Edit one piece into a well-written and fact-checked article in the style of Gen Z Era.Price● Residential Program (Students live on campus):$6,600● Day Program(Students commute to class every day): $5,500(Graduating seniors can have a $400 discount if applying before May 2,2024.)Term Date: July 9-July 21,2024Application Deadline: Friday, May 31,2024ContactAdmission:******************1．Which is the probable name of the course?A．Career Development in Media.B．Editorial Decision-making.C．Fundamentals of Editing.D．Introduction to Publication.2．What will students do in the course?A．Interview award-winning guests.B．Help authors improve their articles.C．Connect with professional publishers.D．Edit one article for Gen Z Era.3．A graduating senior applying for a Day Program on April 30, 2024 should pay _______.A．$5,100B．$5,500C．$6,200D．$6,600At the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, halfway in the women’s slalom (障碍滑雪) race, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin took a commanding lead over the greatest women’s slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at a breakneck speed, snaking around the poles in crazy rhythm.Skiing has always been a significant part of Mikaela’s life. Her mom raced and coached skiing and her dad ski raced all through college. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At the age of two and a half, Mikaela made her first ski run on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, practicing hundreds of training runs on small hills repeatedly to develop the correct techniques of slalom skiing.When Mikaela was 11, she attended the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing crazily. According to Kirk Dwyer, Burke Mountain Academy headmaster, “It was the degree of Mikaela’s effort to be the best that distinguished her from others. Her commitment to conditioning, having proper sleep, eating correctly, doing the drills, and watching video was unusual for an 11 to 13-year-old. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.”By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.Working hard is a full-time job for Mikaela. Even her off-season is work time. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weight lifting, swimming, and biking to improve her core strength and flexibility. She does all of this so that she can dash down slopes at speeds topping 50 miles per hour while cutting back and forth around gates with astonishing precision.“If you have passion for your targets, whatever they are,” she says, “the sky is the limit. Give it your all!”4．What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．Mikaela came from a skiing family.B．Mikaela’s mother taught her to ski first.C．Mikaela trained harder than her brother.D．Mikaela’s father coached skiing in colleges.5．Why were headmaster Kirk Dwyer’s words cited?A．To stress Mikaela was a crazy teenager.B．To show Mikaela’s distinct personality.C．To praise the good students in his school.D．To highlight Mikaela’s great devotion to training.6．Which of the following words can best describe Mikaela?A．Talented and wise.B．Creative and determined.C．Flexible and brave.D．Determined and self-disciplined.7．What does Mikaela Shiffrin’s story convey?A．Practice makes perfect.B．Not to advance is to go back.C．He who laughs last laughs best.D．Actions speak louder than words.Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quickmovements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.8．What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A．Living in a group.B．Growing beautiful feathers.C．Feeding on the ground.D．Avoiding coming out at night.9．What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?A．To attack back.B．To get away.C．To protect the young.D．To play dead.10．Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A．It may explode suddenly.B．It may be in a strange shape.C．It may have a strong color.D．It may move around quickly.11．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A．To explain wild parrots’ behavior.B．To give advice on raising a parrot.C．To call for action to protect animals.D．To introduce a study on bird ecology.Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not onlymathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.12．What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Get the essence of.B．Find the opposite of.C．Keep the focus on.D．Reduce the impact on.13．What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?A．Its standard is stable.B．It prevents unequal division.C．Its concept is complex.D．It dominates personal preferences. 14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?A．The application of its rules.B．The details of its process.C．The problems it produces.D．The harmony it symbolizes.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Who benefits most from fairness?B．How has fairness changed over time?C．What method works best in cake-cutting?D．Why are researchers so interested in cake-cutting?No matter how many times you go, Dubai always has something new in store for its natives and tourists. Let’s take a look at a few must-dos for your first time in this impressive city in the United Arab Emirates!●Hit the famous Dubai Mall.Any shopaholic (购物狂) worth their salt knows about the Dubai Mall, one of the most famous and the most expensive shopping centres in the world. 16 However, even if you’re not in the mood to spend your savings in hundreds of luxury stores, there are other fun options.●Mind your manners.While you’re searching for the next adventure, make sure you follow some basic rules of conduct that the local law prescribes.
