【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005. That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind. There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again. As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it39。s going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they39。ve got before it disappears again. Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that39。s not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流體力學(xué)) and sediment(沉積物) supply, rather than climate changes. Regardless of what39。s causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.（1）What is people39。s reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?

Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles. When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this doesn39。t e easily for someone who es from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”. “How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I don39。t know how.” “Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you39。ll learn.” She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers. Tahay39。s elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the afterschool poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High School39。s poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of . Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many things —some funny, some painful. The first time Tahay read the group39。s poems, chills went up her spine (脊柱). “I wish I could write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn39。t even finish it.” But she kept at it despite her lessthanperfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辭). Still, she wouldn39。t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her. But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that I39。m worth something.” “She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things you don39。t ever see.”（1）What did Tahay39。s mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?
