The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict （巴以沖突） has lasted for some time，as a result，hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have to leave their homes and thousands of them have died.What is worrying is that this conflict，which can be traced back （追溯）more than 70 years ago，is becoming worse and worse.
   Now，the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip.Over 2 million Palestinians live there.In order to eat away at Palestinian lend and prevent Palestinians，Israel has built a long wall，which is 8 meters high.Anyone who breaks into the area will be shot to death.
   In 1947，a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine.These Jews held up a sign，which read， "The Germans have destroyed our homeland，please do not destroy our hope."
   Arabs （阿拉伯人）took pity on the Jews' experiences during World War 2，they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places.But they didn't expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country.
   After realizing what the Jewish people wanted，Arab leaders said， "We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war，but it was not we Arabs who caused their suffering.Why should they come and seize （占領） our land？"
   However，with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union，Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it.Later，conflicts often broke out between the two sides.
   It's worth mentioning that today，the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian's.The Jewish people have seized most of Palestinian land.
   The Palestinians received unfair treatment.They were forced to leave their own homes.Most of them can only live in refugee（難民） camps in the Gaza Strip.What's even worse，these Palestinians live a hard and hopeless life and are unable to make their voices heard by the outside world.

1．Do you know where J．K．Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books？She wrote the first book in a coffee shop．Was it because she felt more creative when working there？The answer might be yes．
   Scientists found that moderate（適度的）noise can make people more creative，The New York Times reported．
   Scientists did tests on students．They divided them into four groups．They then asked the students to do certain tasks involving creative thinking．But each group did the task with different volumes（音量）of background noise．They found that students did best when working under moderate noise-70 decibels（分貝）．This is about the same volume of background noise in a cafe．Students did worse in low noise （50 dB）．This is the volume of a quiet room．They did the poorest when in a high-noise （85 dB） environment．This is the noise level in a factory．
