Hattie clambered from the train, her skirt still hemmed with Georgia mud, the dream of Philadelphia round as a marble in her mouth and the fear of it a needle in her chest. Hattie and Mama, Pearl and Marion climbed the steps from the train platform up into the main hall of the station. It was dim despite the midday sun. The domed roof arched. Pigeons cooed in the rafters. Hattie was only fifteen then, slim as a finger. She stood with her mother and sisters at the crowds edge, the four of them waiting for a break in the flow of people so they too might move toward the double doors at the far end of the station. Hattie stepped into the multitude. Mama called, "Come back! Youll be lost in all those people. Youll be lost!" Hattie looked back in panic; she thought her mother was right behind her. The crowd was too thick for her to turn back, and she was borne along on the current of people. She gained the double doors and was pushed out onto a long sidewalk that ran the length of the station.</h3><h3><br /></h3> <h3><br /></h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>第二篇：歷史是雙篇，英國統(tǒng)治之下的印度兩個反觀點的演講 一個是說英國統(tǒng)治好棒 一個說在奴役印度人民。</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>節(jié)選如下：</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>Passage 1 from "Government of India", a speech delivered in the house of commons on the 10th of July 1833 by Thomas Babington Macaulay.

He watched as additional choughs continued to attend the nest, proving that a cooperative group shared parental care. Since then, cooperatively breeding birds have had a starring role in efforts to explain the evolution of complex animal societies. We now know that "helpers-at-the-nest" who forgo reproduction are often relatives of the breeding pair. Genetic payoff is, thus, one of several advantages that helpers can gain from their superficially altruistic behavior. On page 1506 of this issue, Feeney et al. show that collective defense against brood parasites (see the figure) can enhance such benefits of cooperation.</h3> <h3>第四篇：最好的在截止日期前完成任務的方式就是立即開始 ，分析人們如何會產生立即著手去做的心態(tài)。</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>文章開篇引出一個諺語，如果有一些事要做。交給一個忙人去做。然后一個研究證明了這個諺語。忙人能更好的理解截止日。人們做事情分為四個階段，怎么從計劃轉化到做是最關鍵的一步，執(zhí)行模式最重要的是組織時間，現(xiàn)在時間是在人們腦海中最重要的，如果截止日是將來的時間，不是現(xiàn)在，就會被人們忽視，然后通過實驗證明這些觀點。</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>下方是原文節(jié)選。</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>Future, imperfect and tense</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>IF YOU want something done, the saying goes, give it to a busy person.

Previous studies have shown that such activity progresses through four distinct phases: pre-decision, post-decision (but pre-action), action and review. It is thought that what motivates the shift from the decision-making stages to the doing-something stage is a change in mindset.</h3><h3><br /></h3> <h3>第五篇：在月亮的一個dark spot 下面發(fā)現(xiàn)了Plumbing system ，和地球上的相似，科學家認為月球比之前認為的更dynamic 。月球上也有rifting ，之前認為沒有，打破了之前的想法，還有很多值得探索的地方。月球新發(fā)現(xiàn)使得人們懷疑之前對于月球地貌形成的固有研究結果。</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>下方是原文節(jié)選：</h3><h3>Ancient magma plumbing found buried below moon's largest dark spot</h3><h3>By Eric HandOct. 1, 2014 , 1:00 PM</h3><h3>Scientists have found a nearly square peg underneath a round holeon the moon. Several kilometers below Oceanus Procellarum, the largest dark spot on the moons near side, scientists have discovered a giant rectangle thought to be the remnants of a geological plumbing system that spilled lava across the moon about 3.5 billion years ago. The features are similar to rift valleys on Earthregions where the crust is cooling, contracting, and ripping apart. Their existence shows that the moon, early in its history, experienced tectonic and volcanic activity normally associated with much bigger planets.</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3><br /></h3> <h3>Duke Learning Academy </h3><h3>960 Roosevelt #205</h3><h3>Irvine, CA 92620 </h3><h3>909-552-3748</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>現(xiàn)SAT任課老師畢業(yè)哥倫比亞大學，有十年SAT, ACT 教學經驗。</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>3/10/2018 亞洲區(qū)</h3><h3>此文圖片選自網絡，</h3><h3>文字來源 微信公共號： SAT備考。(稍有改動）</h3><h3>如有侵權，請聯(lián)系我們。謝謝??</h3>
