Frm carefully recnstructed sites like Chichen Itza t the ceremnial temples f Calakmul, these are the ancient Maya ruins nt t miss in Mexic.
Chichen Itza
Named ne f the New Seven Wnders f the Wrld in 2007, the beautifully preserved Chichen Itza in Yucatán is Mexic’s mst famus Maya ruins. Despite the crwds, few are dissatisfied with El Castill — a carefully restred pyramid that rises up 80ft and has 365 steps — the largest Maya ball curt in the Americas.
Tulum
Built in the 13th century, Tulum was ne f the last cities where the Maya peple lived and the nly ne built n the cast. The pyramids here aren’t as large as ther Maya ruins in Mexic, but the setting, n 40ft-high cliffs (悬崖) abve the Caribbean waters suth f Cancun, mre than makes up fr it.
Cbá
Hme t the tallest pyramid in the state f Quintana R, Cbá was nce ne f the mst imprtant Maya cities in Yucatán. Lcated arund 30 miles west f Tulum ruins, the city was built in arund 600 CE and it eventually grew t 50,000 peple living there. Thugh much f Cbá has yet t be excavated (发掘), travellers can climb the 138ft-high Nhch Mul — a pyramid that ffers sweeping views ver the Yucatán rainfrest.
Calakmul
In Campeche’s Calakmul Bisphere Reserve near the brder with Guatemala, Calakmul is ne f Mexic’s wildest Maya ruins. It has the largest and tallest pyramid in Yucatán and mre than 6,000 buildings, many f them cvered by rainfrest. The site is particularly beautiful at sunrise, when the surrunding frest cmes alive with birdsng.

Every time yu charge yur cell phne, yu are benefiting frm Jhn Gdenugh’s exceptinal creativity. After being tld that mst scientists make their majr discveries lng befre they hit middle age Gdenugh just set ff t develp a battery technlgy that has made ur mdern life pssible.
Lithium (锂) batteries had been invented befre. But Gdenugh’s inventin was a new kind f lithium battery that can stre enugh energy t pwer all srts f electrnics and is light and small enugh t make them prtable (便携式的). And, even better, such a battery wuld charge and recharge in a matter f minutes — all withut explding.
Brn in Jena, Germany in 1922, Gdenugh grew up in the United States and majred in mathematics at Yale University and earned a Ph. D in physics frm the University f Chicag. He began his career at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT), where his research laid the grundwrk fr develpment f randm-access memry (RAM) fr the digital cmputer.
Gdenugh was head f the Inrganic Chemistry Labratry at the University f Oxfrd in England when he made his lithium battery discvery. He jined the Texas University in 1986, and was still teaching and researching battery materials and engineering prblems when he wn the Nbel Prize in 2019.
Trained in mathematics and physics, Gdenugh, wh eventually becmes a grundbreaking chemist and materials engineer, des nt easily fit any existing classificatin(分类). “I wuld like the physicists t think I am a physicist, but I’m afraid they think I am a chemist and materials engineer.

A girl is driving with her parents when they spt watercress grwing by the side f the rad. Her parents stp and take her ut f the back seat. They ask her t take ff her shes and rll up her jeans t help them gather it.
It is the beginning f the stry in Watercress, a picture bk written by Andrea Wang. The stry is based n her childhd. “My parents actually sptted watercress grwing by the side f the rad in Ohi where I grew up,” Wang says. “And I was hrribly embarrassed t get ut and gather the watercress frm the dirty water. It really made me aware f hw different I was frm my friends. But fr my parents, it brught back memries f their hme cuntry and it was a cnnectin t their hmeland that they had left behind.”
The feeling f being ashamed f ur parents is universal. We’ve prbably all experienced that at sme pint. “I remember walking 20 feet behind my parents when we were walking dwn the street, pretending that I didn’t belng t them,” Wang laughs.
The pictures in Watercress have drawn inspiratin frm Chinese landscape paintings, which ften have muntains cvered in cluds. “It always has felt dreamlike t me when I lk at thse paintings. And I thught it wuld be nice t bring it int my bk because f its theme f memry,” Wang explains.
Unlike the little girl in the stry, Andrea Wang didn’t hear any stry abut her parents’ childhds until she was an adult. “My parents were trying t prtect me, by nt telling me the hardships they went thrugh,” Wang says.
But as a kid, Wang remembers feeling discnnected frm her histry. “I think it’s really imprtant fr families t share what they can,” Wang says. “S that kids knw that histry and can feel a sense f pride in their culture.”

Where is “space” exactly? This may seem like a simple questin, but the answer may be mre difficult than yu think.
Nwadays, mst cuntries are generally in agreement that space begins when Earth’s atmsphere ends. But n ne can tell where atmsphere actually ends and uter space begins. This leaves the dr pen fr a variety f explanatins until the Karman Line was recgnized by internatinal laws. The s-called Karman Line is an imaginary line 100 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface. Once this line is crssed, the air is t thin and traditinal planes wuld need t reach the speed f 30,564 kilmeters per hur r risk falling back t Earth. Accrding t the internatinal laws, nce pilts and aircraft crss that line, they are recgnized as astrnauts and spacecraft and are free t cnduct space peratins withut cncern fr internatinal brders (边境).
In the early age f space explratin, the US defined space differently and insisted that space start 19.3 kilmeters belw the Karman Line, since the US was cnfident that it wuld lead and remain t be the leader in the traditinal aircraft industry.
Well aware that the US wanted t perate advanced spying (侦查) aircraft safely, many develping cuntries ppsed the idea and sught t establish much higher space limits — 965.6 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface. This space limit makes things a bit difficult fr every cuntry, thugh. At that height, even the Internatinal Space Statin and Tiangng Space Statin (rbiting between 320 t 435 kilmeters up), and many satellites (rbiting 869 kilmeters up) wuld nt be cnsidered spacecraft!
In recent years, the US has been trying t determine a “safer brder f space”. In 2009, it suggested that the brder f space begin at l18 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface. What was its argument this time? It said that many breakthrughs have been made in space and spying technlgies by ther cuntries!
12．What is crrect abut the Kármán Line accrding t the internatinal laws?
A．It is unsafe fr sme cuntries.B．Traditinal planes shuld nt crss it.
C．Pilts can fly freely abve it.D．It is the highest line pilts can reach.
13．Many less develped cuntries suggested that space begin at_______.
A．965.6 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface
B．118 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface
C．100 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface
D．90.7 kilmeters abve Earth’s surface
14．What des the authr mst prbably think f the US’ suggestins?
A．Smart.B．Unfair.C．Scientific.D．Uncreative.
15．What is the best title fr the text?
A．Where Des Space Begin Exactly?
B．Hw High Shuld the Karman Line Be?
C．Hw Can We Prtect Our Natinal Brders?
D．Why Des the US Want t Change the Karman Line?
During ur life, it is natural fr us t stp ccasinally and wnder whether we shuld make sme changes. If yu’d like t make the right chice, here are sme questins yu have t answer first.
Why d yu want t bring the changes t yur life? Usually, the answer is nt very bvius. 16 Yur hnest answer may prvide yu with lasting mtivatin (动力) that will drive yu twards yur gals.
Is it yur true need? Or d yu just feel bred and want t try smething ppular? 17 Yur answers may help yu see that yu dn’t need t bring such changes int yur life, since yu are a unique persn with unique needs and wishes.
18 Yu can start by writing dwn what is imprtant t yu. Take yur time. 19 Yu can start with simpler things, fr instance, wrking ut regularly, spending quality time with friends and family, learning t play an instrument etc. Frm these simple things yu can wrk n mre difficult chices later.
Are yu self-aware? D yu value cnstructive (有益的) criticism? Are yu always hnest with yurself? 20
Finally, let me finish by a qute, “T cnquer neself is a greater task than cnquering thers.”
A．What is imprtant t yu?
B．What respnsibilities shuld yu take?
C．Dn’t try t make yur list in just ne sitting.
D．S yu have t be hnest with yurself and ask yurself why.
E．Bear in mind that hw yu apprach success can define hw yu feel.
F．Ask yurself these tw questins whenever yu just feel bred and want t make changes.
G．If yur answers t these questins are n, then yu need t wrk n yur self-awareness.
