A
At thirteen, I was diagnod（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone el in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raid my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you e, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glass, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, h invented a reading system of raid dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surpri when it came back to me the next day- with an“A”八十的英语 on it. At the bottom of the paper were the words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

B
By 2050, half of the world’s population will live in the tropics—the relatively warm belt that circles the globe—according to State of the Tropics, a report relead today. Rapid population growth, along with economic growth, means that the region’s influence will grow in coming decades, the authors of the 500-page work predict.
The project, first launched in 2011, aimed to answer one significant question: Is life in the tropics improving? To find out, the rearchers analyzed environmental, social, and economic indicators collected over 6 decades. It finds that the region has made “extraordinary progress” in many areas. For example, more people have access to safe drinking water, and the number of protected areas is increasing. The tropics also have outperformed the rest of the world in economic growth over the past 30 years.
However, some challenges remain. Investment in rearch and development, for example, has incread cautiously, but tropical nations still invest less than the rest of the world. “As a proportion of GDP the Rest of the World invests almost four times as much in rearch and development than the Tropics.张爱玲散文《等》” concludes the report.
The report also includes a new analysis of how climate change will affect the region. Many plant and animal species are moving poleward in an attempt to stay within their preferred environmental conditions in the tropics, the authors write. However, some organisms may not be able to keep pace with the changing conditions, they predict. As a result, they can experience population declines or go extinct.
In addition, an expanded tropical zone also threatens health and safety issues, the authors warn. As regions become more suitable to incts such as mosquitoes and ticks, the spread of inct-borne dias such as malaria, dengue, and Lyme dia could ri, causing a burden to human health and the economy.
Bruna, a rearcher, says he es a lot to be concerned about in the report. “While we’ve
made incredible advances in some areas, I think the risks for the tropics that are highlighted in this report are things that we really need to be concerned about.”
