  George claims that he read 53 books in 2014. My friend and I found this fairly unbelievable, considering he seems to have a pretty full schedule.

   Anyway, it appears that I am on track to read 72 new books this year. But I've come to realize that this number can easily be skewed（扭曲）. For instance, currently I am reading Rising Tide: The Story of the Mississippi Flood of 1927. This book is over 700 pages. It's going to take me the month of May (along with Harry Potter rereads; I can't read nonfiction while going to sleep). So my May average will be way off. However, when I read chick-lits (鸡仔文学,都市女性文学), I can get those done in a day. I guess it all depends on what I choose to read.

   In reality, reading is beneficial because it encourages us to slow down our thinking, and also to fully interpret someone else's experience. Reading keeps the mind sharp and expands a person’s vocabulary. We read to educate ourselves. We read to help ourselves. We read to escape our own lives and live in that of another for a little while.

     Almost all the people alive today can relate to the 90s music. When we hear music from the time, we just cannot help ourselves － we sing along. The 90s music is not easy to define(定义): it is a diverse combination of many artists and music styles; there is no definite artist or style that one can individually use to identify 90s music.

     There are thousands of reasons to love the 90s music, but here are 3 things that help people to be close to the 90s music.

     A Trip Down the Memory Lane

     Whether one will admit or not, listening to the 90s music gives a person an excuse to have a trip down the memory lane. The point is: whatever experiences we had during this period can be related to a song. So listening to old songs brings back the memories and all we have to do is travel down that memory lane at ease.

     Birth of Legendary Artists

     Many of the artists that we now know and love started during the 90s.So we must give credit to this period and all the producers that existed during that time for being able to discover our favorite artists. A lot of great songs during this period were created as well. Some of those songs are still in our iPads, cell phones or computers. We simply cannot get enough of them. Even the pictures of the artists that we admire are still hanging on our walls. If asked why, one can simply answer that we cannot get over them.

     Diversity

     As mentioned, there are many artists and styles that represent the 90s time period. So you get to listen to a numerous styles of music and get to know a lot of artists. There is a certain diversity that has not been present during any other period; this diversity is what makes the 90s more memorable than other decades of music. So get that MP3 player out and listen to your favorite 90s music and then enjoy your trip back to a simpler time.

Are Bees Happier in Cities?

　　We often think of them as living happily in wildflower meadows （草地） and rolling fields. But new research suggests Britain’s bees are happier near towns and cities.

　　A new study of wildlife sites across four English counties has found that most are home to fewer species of bees today than they were in the past. It found that the expansion of farmland has actually been more damaging to Britain’s bee population than the concreting over （铺设混凝土） of the countryside for housing. For instance, meadows near Milton Keynes now boast more species of bee than sites in more rural areas.

　　Reading University researcher Dr Deepa Senapathi believes intensive agriculture is to blame. Climate change could be destroying the relationship between bees and plants. That’s according to a study that said warmer springs can change the life cycles of bees, which can throw them out of the plants they rely on. The research is the first clear example of the potential for climate change to destroy such critical relationships between species.

　　While the gardens, parks and churchyards of towns and cities provide bees with a variety of plants to rely on and an extended flowering season, popular crops such as oilseed rape only bloom for a few weeks.

　　Dr Senapathi said, “While concreting over the countryside may appear to be bad news for nature, we’ve found that progressive urbanization may be much less damaging than intensive agriculture.”

　　Urban areas may benefit bees more than farmland by providing a wide variety of flowering plants and an extended flowering season, according to the researcher.

　　“Over the past century, rural landscapes in Britain have become increasingly dominated by large amounts of monoculture—the growing of a single type of plant, which has helped encourage crop production,” she said. “But without a mixture of habitat and food sources, rural areas can sometimes be little better than green deserts for biodiversity （生物多样性）.”

　　Scientists around the country are trying to work out why populations of bees and other insects are falling. Pesticides, climate change and disease may, like intensive farming, be playing a role.
