More Than a Ride to School
The National Education Association claims,’The school bus is a mirror of the community.’They further add that,unfortunately,what appears on the exterior (外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community.They are tight,and sometimes it reflects more!Just ask Liesl Denson riding the school bus has been more than a tide to school for Liesl.Bruce Hardy,school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten.Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg,knowing her bus went by her new residence,she requested to ride the same bus.
This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year tiding the bus.She says,’It’s been a great tide so far!My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener.Sometimes when you’re a child,adults do not think that what you have to say is important.Mr.Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important.’Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.
Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975.This year he will celebrate 30.years working for Althouse Bus Transportation.Company President,Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s outstanding record.’Yon do not come by employees like Bruce these days;he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record.Recognized in 2000by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000accident free miles,Hardy’s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus.’
Althouse further added,’Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since.My grandfather started the business with one bus.Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come.’Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed.Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy,they have been building relationships through generations.Liesl’s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy’s bus to the Octorara School District.

Ancient Egypt Brought down by Famine Even ancient Egypt's mighty pyramid (金字塔) builders were powerless in the face of the famine (饥荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B.C.. Now evidence collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame and the same or worse could happen today. The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile's annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons (季风) southwards out of Ethiopia would have reduced these floods. Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt, along with sediment (沉积) from the White Nile. Blue Nile mud has a different isotope (同位素) signature from that of the white Nile, so by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4500 to 4200 years ago, immediately came before the fall of the Egypt's old Kingdom. The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians. ' Changes that affect food supply don't have to be very large to have a ripple (波浪) effect in societies. ' says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York. 'Similar events today could be even more devastating,' says team member Daniel Stanley, a scientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.. 'Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically. 'Why does the author mention 'Egypt's mighty pyramid builders'?A.Because they once worked miracles.B.Because they were well-built.C.Because they were actually very weak.D.Because even they were unable to rescue their civilization.
