This fascination puzzled his friends/*Why plum blossoms,of all flowers? theyd ask.“Plum blossoms alone flower during the coldest of days, unbending to the freezing falling snow.It is the character of these Gentlemen of the Flowers1 that attracts learned gentlemen, as well as henmts like myself.”

20、he replieD.After Lin Bu died, the Flying Crane Pavilion （亭子）was built in his memory.People would come to admire the hundreds of plum trees, appreciating the form and character of Lin Bus belovedr wife* and son.One day, two scholars had a discussion.HIsn*t it a shame that a competent person justifyin

28、inking. However, if it was expanding at more than a certain critical rate,gravity would never be strong enough to stop it.and the universe would continue to expand forever.This is a bit like what happens when one fires a rocket upward from the surface of the earth.

29、ty will eventually stop the rocket and it will start falling back.

36、 the term Hcosmological constant*1 to challenge Newtons gravity theory.Einsteins mistake is used to show the authors doubt whether the universe is expanding.DLord Robert Winston was sitting on a train.whcn he found himself becoming steadily angry. Winston is normally a fairly amiable man. What was d

37、riving him slowly insane was the particular behavior of another passenger.

40、s actions:MrudeH.Wc find ourselves living at a time of incredible rudeness. Social media has taught the world that it needs to have an opinion, on everything.at all times. Reality television has taught us to celebrate meanness （不友好）,so long as that meanness is delivered as honesty.”So what can we do

47、uided? 32 We often listen to the wrong sources. Fvc watched many students rely on their parents and grandparents for guidance, forgetting that they were raised in an area when it was common to spend an entire career in one organization.What about going to people who arc qualified to give advice? 38

48、Advisers often focus too heavily on their personal preferences and experiences rather than take our perspective （視角）。At some point5you have probably noticed that youre wiser when giving advice to others than you arc in making decisions for yourself.
