24、   If you read The Fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters ,  then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism emotions,  and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying "You don't read a great book; it reads you. " The fault in our stars is one of those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how children in particular fight them, reveals and reminds you of your first love in life, always the youngest and the most innocent. I will resist my urge to tell you the plot and spoil the whole story, but I promise you every single page here is worth a great deal of excitement, humor and a bunch of other stuff listed down here which I think are interesting.

The book gives lives to where we find deaths. The joy of living comes in when terminal cancer is nothing more than just, "a side effect of dying", when you can laugh in the misfortunes of disease and say "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend." The fault in our stars, however, stars with Hazel's "depression" like many of us starts a new day. Thus, Hazel's mother wants her cancer-stricken daughter to have a life, putting her in the Support Group. Later on, Issac and Augustus give her hope and something to believe in. The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams. The story is so carefully plotted that even though Hazel doesn't go to school like other kids, her life is so in touch with ours. Everyone in a while will feel as if everything goes wrong, that it sucks at being what it's supposed to be. Bad grades, getting dumped, or even having a terminal disease." The pain demands to be felt. " But after all, how long should it take us to give sufferings a break is subject to be viewed personally, since it would determine whether or not we become a type of Peter Van Houten, Hazel's favorite writer in the novel.

John Green also cares about your dreams and ambitions. As you read through chapters, especially toward the end, you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a "good life. " Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus's, with all his desire to leave a mark on the world.  Such a guy he is seeking for glories and meanings of life, fearing  most  oblivion . Others  may  find  themselves , in contrast , caring not about recognition. They are like Hazel Grace,  seeing heroism as an act of noticing and loving and sharing. Both ideas are beautiful and proofed to be fearless to be together despite any mental or physical challenges lying on their way to the pursuit of happiness.

① "Apparently,  the world is not a wish-granting factory. " The book embraces the restless, innocent desires of young minds. ② Would you care for a trip to Amsterdam when you're at the 4th stage of cancer to find out what happens after the end of your favorite book? Would you dare to love the dying, to be okay to love when you're dying,  or to forgive yourself for hurting those who love you in case you die?③ In the book,  you will find John Green mentions about how "some infinities are greater than other infinities, " which means, I think, infinities can be defined, expanded and shrunk. ④ Infinities are created by taking chances,  and if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in out stars, not ourselves.

Funny, romantic, unputdownable and profound, The fault in our stars is definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century. It may touch the readers in many different ways. In here some will find humor, some will find encouragement, and some will find a book as a bond for a new love story. But if you insist that you only want to read a good love story in The fault of in our stars, that's fine too. It's an excellent book that reminds us of those who are important.

25、   The Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁) in Australia, the world's largest coral (珊瑚) reef system and home to many kinds of sea animals, is in great danger. It is now experiencing its third mass bleaching (白化) in five years, resulting in the death of large amounts of coral.

"We know this is a mass bleaching event and it's a severe (严重的) one," Professor Terry Hughes told the Guardian. Hughes, one of the world's leading experts on the reef, said it is far more serious than former mass bleaching events. It is a clear signal (信号) for people to take action.

Coral bleaching refers to the death of coral caused by high water temperatures. Global warming has caused ocean temperatures to rise, resulting in more frequent bleaching events. Many tropical (热带的) coral reefs will disappear if temperatures continue to rise, according to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

As more of the Great Barrier Reef bleaches and dies, the animals that depend on it will die off as well. About 500 million people depend on the reef and the animals there to make a living, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

27、   Have you ever noticed the black and white bars on a book？Do you know what they are used for?

They are bar-codes（条形码）used in most products. If you go to a supermarket，you can see almost every product with a bar-code on it. Bar-codes have information about the product, such as name and production date.It's an easy and convenient way to know about the products. Just scan the bar-code and everything is clear.

The first use of a bar-code in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974.Beyond supermarkets, bar-codes are needed everywhere:for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life would be rather difficult without bar-codes.Most of our things would get lost in the post.

Bar-codes change as well.Bar-codes in the past were 1-D(one-dimensional空间), but now there are 2-D bar-codes,such as QR code.Since 2009, QR has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums,cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of bar-codes.

With these small codes, life is getting much easier for us.

If you find these bar-code things boring, a bar-code building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there is a building designed like a bar-code.It looks strange, but it's actually a shopping mall. There are games too. Bar-code Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan bar-codes and find the monsters!
