11、gh, one of them is certain to get us. But which one?1. Death by Asteroid(小行星 )Of all the ways we might meet our untimely death, getting wiped out by an asteroid is the most likely. Why? Because we sit in a universal shooting gallery, with 100 tons of material hitting us every day. The problem, thoug
12、h, occurs every few centuries when something big this way comes. If you could ask a dinosaur, Id imagine they would tell you to take this seriously.2. Death by Exploding StarWhen a huge star ends its life, it does so with a bang, which sends death spreading across space in the form of high-energy ra
13、diation. Many studies show that the bang would have to be closer than about 75 light years to do us any harm. The good news: no stars so close are able to do the deed.3. Death by Dying SunThe sun is important to us; without it, wed freeze. But the sun is also middle-aged, already halfway to running

Death by Black HoleBlack holes are misunderstood. They
15、 dont wander the galaxy looking for tasty snacks in the form of planets and stars; they turn around the Milky Way just like the hundreds of billions of other stars do.

30、ile parents are determined to do the very best for their children，they can end up doing the opposite， ”He said parents need to exercise common sense and parental nature when it comes to raising their children.He added， “Parents also need to have confidence in those whose job it is to look after thei
31、r childrens education. To do this requires a certain detachment，a willingness to trust the passage of time，focusing on whether their children are happy， challenged and purposeful and are learning the right valuesIf so，they will be fine. ”“However,” he said， “some parents are changing from sensible a
32、nd moderate people，who have faith in their schools and teachers，into fighters ready to battle with anything and anyone on behalf of their children”. “What has made some parents put their own children at the centre of the universe and never care about the rest?” And he also blamed the obsession(迷恋) o

37、he subcontinent in over a decade. The storm affected more than 12 million people in India and neighboring countries, and damaged or destroyed many houses.

38、he shore of an Indian island, Huffs award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Phailin.Huff pointed out that many houses built along shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement(执行) of building codes wasnt strict. After Phailins attack, all ne
39、w shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house should be able to stand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, Huffs house looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large p
40、arty lantern“ at night, according to one observer. But looks can be misleading, The houses wooden frame is reinforced(加固) with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on pilingslong columns of wood anchore
41、d(固定) deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also balance the house above storm waves.
