5. Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature. Nature provides us with we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. For quite a long time after man began to live in the realm (1) of nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces. he used to regard nature with its elemental (2) forces as something hostile to him. And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him. very often ,he was unable to obtain (3) the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others stubbornly (4) and collectively with his imperfect tools , through his interaction with nature , man changed it gradually . he cut down forest , cultivated land , transferred (5) various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed (6) pants and animals. he subdued (7) and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society. Nonetheless , with the constant expansion (8) of agriculture and industry , man has robbed nature of too much of its irreplaceable (9) resources , polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years to become extinct (10) and still many others to be endangered . the previous dynamic (11) balance between man and nature is on the verge (12) of breaking down . man is now faced with the problem of how to stop , or at least to moderate (13) the destructive effect of technology on nature . The crisis of the ecological (14) situation has become a global problem . the solution to the problem depends on rational (15) and wise organization both of production itself and care for

According to craig Russell , when we make an initial effort in our personal quests for knowledge , we may not even know that a certain field of learning exists . but , after we have done some reading ,we will get to know more about the topic (1) .at the same time ,we may feel that all the reading creates (2) more questions rather than answers them . we then realize how little we really (3) know and how much more we need to read and think and write . Russell suggests that we write after reading each time . his experience tells him that it is his writing that has led him to acquire a better grasp (4) of the topic he studies . people may think that only those who know and who are sure (5) of themselves write . for Russell , however , it’s just the opposite (6),for writing doesn’t close things off ----it opens things up . To say that the more we know , the more we know we don’t know seems contradictory (7). according to Russell , modern physics tells us that reality (8) itself is contradictory . the more closely scientists look into our physical (9) reality , the more it slips away from . in a way , the more they learn , the less they know . Craig Russell believes that a proper understanding will inevitably lead us away from the force and rigidity (10) of dogmatism and toward the flexibility and freedom of the individual (11). Therefore, we must temper our pride in knowing with the humility (12) of not knowing. the truth always exists there ,but , it is like the rainbow (13) because we can never really grasp it , never hold it in our hands and truly know it . we can only , as William james said , “live today by what truth we can get today and be ready to call it falsehood (14) tomorrow.”

With aspirations (5) to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes , If any . it can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for gratitude (6) in return. Truth dawns (7) upon us slowly but surely .in the long quest for truth, people have accumulated (8) precious knowledge and experience. However, truth also needs nourishment (9) just as plants need water, because many people are too preoccupied (10) with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the great beauty of truth when it flowers (11) or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is tendered (12) In short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity. Stick to the truth and we will weave (13) a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others , elevate (14) the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.

simple and frugal (2) one ,hoping to keep family ,friends, work and play all of a piece .

So some have sold out their splendid (5) homesick and moved into smaller houses. They have given up the extra cars, unnecessary modern conveniences, and expensive hobbies (6) .They now do things by themselves to avoid paying for the services of others .They resist the temptation to purchase things on impulse (7) and spend money only on bare (8) necessities and things that do not make wasteful (9) use of the earth's resources . However ,they do not deny (10) themselves what they like or enjoy .The change in their lifestyle is not one involving deprivation (11); it is just simplification .They believe that they can still live a happy and fulfilling life on less money .Indeed ,whether we maintain (12) a healthy lifestyle or not does not depend on how wealthy we are but on whether we have the resolve (13) and courage to discard our old consumption (14) habits .

The story of an Hour leaves us much to think about . In the story ,when Richardson ,who worked in the newspaper office ,learned that his friend Brently Mallard had been killed in a railroad disaster (1), he was greatly shocked .he only waited until he was assured (2) by a second telegram and then he hastened (3) to go to Josephine ,sister of Brently's wife ,and asked her to break the news as gently (4) as possible to her sister because he knew MRS. Mallard was afflicted (5) with a heart trouble .He was afraid that if someone less tender (6) brought the message to her ahead of him ,there might be dreadful consequences. People usually expect a wife to accept such sad news with a paralyzed (7) inability ,but MRS.MALLARD did not .At the news ,she wept at once ,with sudden ,wild abandonment (8) in her sister's arms ,and then she went to her own room ,forbidding anyone else to go in.

Hard as she tried ,she couldn't get rid of the feeling .What was it ?She didn't know .However ,a clear and excited perception (11) occupied her which made her regard her husband's death no longeron as something important ,because beyond that bitter moment she saw a long procession (12) of years to come that would belong to her absolutely ,during which her husband would not impose (13) his will upon her any more . Just at that moment ,her husband came back ,travel-stained (14) carrying his briefcase and umbrella .Seeing him ,she died of a sudden heart attack .
