Why losing Kobe Bryant felt like losing a family or friend?

A basketball player named Kobe Bryant died on January 26. He died in a helicopter crash(直升机坠毁). His 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, also died in the crash, along with seven others.

People were very sad about it. This happened even if they had not met him. How do people feel sad over a stranger? Why do they think of Mr. Bryant as family? As a scientist, I am not surprised. I see why his death hurt some people.

1.Social Media Keeps Us Close

Scientists have looked at how people form ties with other people. These can be people we have not met. Still, we feel close to them. Many people are on social media. They follow celebrities(名人) online. They see the good and bad times of famous people. Fans can feel close to the people they follow on social media. Mr. Bryant had many followers online. He had many fans.

2. It Shouldn’t Have Happened That Way

Mr. Bryant’s death seemed extra sad. This can make people think “what if” thoughts. When we see ways to fix something, it can bring strong feelings. We might say, “If it had been a clear day, Kobe would still be alive.” We feel like it should not have happened that way, it is hard for us to believe the truth.

3.Thinking About Our Lives

Our feelings may be about ourselves. Many people felt like they had gotten to know Mr. Bryant. They watched him play basketball on TV. His death was sad. Thinking about dying can scare us. We want to give our lives meaning. We get together with loved ones. Mr. Bryant’s death was a reminder. It reminds us that life is short.

1.When did Kobe Bryant die?

2.How many people died in the accident?

3.What keeps fans close to the people they follow?

4.Did people feel easy to believe the truth of the accident?

5.Why did many people feel like they had gotten to know Mr. Bryant?

What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He has great interest in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things on your own, with your own hands.

It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.

Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.

Why not read a book? Well, some people will say,“Why do you like reading books? We have Internet. It offers a lot of more colorful fun. Books are history!” But I am sure you can learn a lot from books than Internet.

One clear reason is that a well-chosen book can give you a lot of wonderful words and make you know a lot . But you should have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s also easier to get new words from a book or an article than it is from the TV or the Internet.

But another more important point is that books give you something that the Internet can not. The general webpage　 is picture-heavy and the text is as easy to read as possible. While “easy” may attract (吸引) you, unluckily it’s not helpful for any long-term development of reading skills and the general language level. Because of that, reading on the Internet can’t take the place of reading books.

But perhaps the best reason is that just choosing what you read and doing it independently (独立地，自立地) means that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, but you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure. You’ll find that good books are good friends. They open up a new world.

Why __1.__ you read a book?
