Angeles and arrived at Heathrow,London on agray January morning.Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Withoutmy beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.Until I made adiscovery.Southbank,at an eastern bend in the Thames,is the center of British skateboarding,where thecontinuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.1 loved it.I soon made friends withthe local skaters.We spoke our own language.And my favorite:Safe.Safe meant cool.Itmeant hello.It meant dont worry about it.Once,when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）,I fell onto the stones,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Toby came over,helping me up:Safe,man.Safe.A few minutes later,when I landed the trick,my friends beat their boards loud,shouting:Safe!Safe!Safe!”And thats what mattered-landing tricks,being a good skater.When I was 15,my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there,but the localswere far less welcoming.Within a couple of years,Id given it up.When I returned to London in 2004,1 found myself wandering down to Southbank,spendinghours there.Ive traveled back several times since,most recently this past spring.The day wascold but clear:tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving（穿梭）among thekids who rushed by on their boards,I found my way to the beam.Then a rail-thin teenager,in abaggy white T-shirt,skidded（滑）up to the beam.He sat next to me.He seemed not to notice theman next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances.I was a local here 20 years ago,I

convey in the text?A.Children should learn a second language.B.Sport is necessary fbr childrens health.C.Children need a sense of belonging.D.Seeing the world is a must for children.DWho is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol fbr genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that somepeople are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they?In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of Europeanorigin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.Its said that history is written by the victors,and thosevictors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made bygeniuses outside the club-women,or people of a different color or belief-they wereunacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely thanboys to say that members of their gender（性另ij）are really,really smart.Even worse,the studyfound that girls act on that belief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be fbr第4页，共22页children who are really,really smart.Can our planet afford to have any great thinkersbecome discouraged and give up?It doesnt take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.Heres the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,were allpositioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more wewill see

hearing about recycling,right?But it doesnt end with bottles,cans,and paper.Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make,and buying loads of newclothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment.So what to do withall those perfectly-good-but-youYe-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroomfloor?16.Its the best way to get rid of your used clothes,score clothes from your friends,and have a party all at the same time.A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes,the organization of the event,and,obviously,how much fun is had.Its
