I arrived home from work, but my mind was still busy. I was going to perform a very important experiment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about it. And I wanted to shake off my worries very much. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, sat on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost at once, my mind left behind the experiment and went into a wonderful world different from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was actually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest novel, while my copy sat collecting dust on a bookcase. Instead, I would choose to read through the books about school lessons. After I started graduate school, extra reading didn't interest me at all, but I spent most of my time at school working on research papers and my mind couldn't process nonfiction(非小说类纪实作品) books at home. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick to it. I made a New Year's resolution: I would read two fiction books per month. The result was that I loved fiction almost at once, along with many unexpected results including ones that are good for my schoolwork.
★some of the best books I read were historical fiction books. I learned life in different countries, as well as challenges which people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected advantage: I' ve started to think more deeply about the different types of the scientific problems in my study and could se rve them with all my heart.
Wind is a powerful force in nature. Wind energy may cause great waves in the world's oceans. Its power can be used to create electricity for cities and the countryside.
Wind can also power many expressions in American English. Let's start with a simple one. If you run like the wind, you can run very fast. After running, sometimes you can be full of energy.
If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back, for example, when you are sailing. In this way, it is easier to go forward.
Knowing the direction of the wind is one of the most important parts of sailing. When wind fills a sail, it makes the boat go faster. If you take the wind out of someone's sails, you prevent them from reaching their goals.
Let's turn from sailing to music. Many songwriters use the image of wind in their songs. If an idea is blowing in the wind, it is under discussion but has yet to be decided. When a singer sings"you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", he means you know what is going on, and he tells you to trust yourself as you can find something out on your own.
Now you know which way the wind blows. Then how can you use these expressions properly? First, read them aloud and keep them in mind. Then, practice using them and test yourself. You know, practice makes perfect.
