14、red. I thought that if I had known this 27, I would have taken something else. I was 28 shy, so speaking in front of many people made me so nervous. The first time I stood in front of the other adults with whom I shared a common goal, my knees were 29 trembling. Somehow, I squeaked (发吱吱声) out my pre

15、sentation. The next time it became easier, and soon, I was starting to 30 it a little.

20、 preparing for this competition for three years by studying every kind of horse and absorbed in rodeo (竞技) knowledge. Now, the answer to a single question would determine if Id be crowned Miss Rodeo America. My eyes flew to my family and friends. They had been my support and strength. Miss Rodeo Ame

21、rica was my dream that Id been carrying ever since my sister convinced me to run in a queen contest during high school. “You should try it, Ashley,” she urged. “Youre a really good cowgirl on the farm.”Though I grew up on a farm in North Dakota, it was when I won that first contest that I discovered

22、 how much work the competition was. I knew then that competitors dont get to ride their own horses. You might just get stuck with the toughest horse the stock contractors have. So you have trouble in riding. In college, Id decided to try for the Miss Rodeo America title after winning the North Dakot

23、a state crown. During the run practice, I was tired all the time, and one night I had a terrible pain in my chest. The next morning I went to the doctor who did an X-ray. Then he looked at me and said seriously, “Your parents should be here. You have Hodgkins lymphoma.” This news hit me right in the

24、 stomach. I was only 21 years old, too young to be diagnosed with cancer. Right then I broke down and cried. All of my dreams that rose up before me now disappeared. “Hodgkins is one of the most treatable cancers,” the doctor reassured me. “But youll need to have six months of chemotherapy (化疗).” My

25、 mom comforted me and said, “Everybody in our family will be praying for you.” Sure, I was glad for their prayers, but I really just wanted things to go back to normal again. I made out a list of what I had to do horseback riding, modeling practice, dance, and work on my speeches. I had chemotherapy

26、 every other Tuesday. But the treatments started taking more and more out of me. My hair started falling out too and I had to wear wigs (假发). There were days when I went out to my horses, but I was too weak to ride. I would just turn them out and watch them. Teedo, my three-year-old horse seemed to

27、sense that I was feeling really bad. My Rodeo Queen dream seemed to be far away. I didnt feel like an unbeatable cowgirl anymore. I was too weak to even pray. “Oh, Teedo,” I whispered as he came up, “should I just give up and let go?” Teedo pushed me with his soft head, and it looked as if he said,

28、“Dont give up and dont lose your dream.” At the same time I thought of even many unknown people who had sent notes, cards and e-mails to me, encouraging me to beat cancer and go back to competition again. I felt hope surge (涌出) through me again. Indeed hope comes when times are hardest. The chemothe

29、rapy treatments ended and at my last check-up the doctor said that the cancer was gone. I knew I had already won the biggest battle I would ever face in my life.All this went through my head as I stepped onto the playground. I had only one belief that hope and hanging on saved me. Even if the flowin

30、g hair under my hat wasnt real, I knew now it was all right. I thought since Id won the battle against cancer so nothing could beat me. If I tried my best I could win the competition. Later, when it was all over, one of the judges really placed the Miss Rodeo America crown gently on my head. It felt

36、ldings start to show signs of ageing. Researchers from the Institute for Building Materials have studied salt damage in greater depth and can now predict weathering processes more accurately.Historic stone building materials are tourist magnets. These cultural assets all have one thing in common: th

37、ey suffer from weathering caused by salts. The same problem also occurs in concrete buildings.Salt can enter building materials in a variety of ways. Cement, for example, a component of concrete, always contains gypsum and alkali sulfates, both of which are salts. Building materials can also be infi

38、ltrated（渗透）by salt from the environment, or by way of the atmospheric pollutant sulfur dioxide.Damage can also be caused by de-icing salt and seawater spray that accumulates on the surface of the buildings. If these salts are dissolved by rain, the saline liquid can enter the building materials thro

39、ugh pores and cracks, causing parts of the stonework to crumble away（破裂）.An experiment showed that the greater the super saturation（过度饱和）, the greater the salts destructive potential. Temperature also played a role: in cycles in which the temperature never fell below 25, it took an average of four c

40、ycles before damage occurred. When the temperature dropped to 3, one cycle was enough. “Although these wet and dry cycles play a part, super saturation is the most important factor,” explains chemist Caruso.With this controlled experiment, the researchers have been able to describe the phenomena of

41、salt damage in detailed physico-chemical and mechanical terms for the first time.” We have shown that damage caused by salt can be predicted, at least under controlled conditions, says Flatt. He believes the experiments may help conservation scientists decide how much salt needs to be taken away fro

42、m a building to avoid damage or if the salt cannot be taken away to predict when a building might be damaged.However, this damage caused by salt is not only seen on historic buildings. It is also a problem for wall paintings, which can be damaged by salt efflorescence in the stonework or the paint l

43、ayers or in between.The problem is also visible on a large scale in erosion processes and during geothermal drilling. It was later discovered that due to the underground drilling, groundwater had entered a layer containing calcium sulfate in anhydrous form, which reacted with the water to form gypsu

44、m. The super saturation of this gypsum generated enough pressure to lift the ground.The researchers are now planning to use their findings in Havanas old town, where salt is a major issue. They are also hoping to find ways to reduce salt damages, such as by changing the pores of building materials o
