It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.
Real radio
In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many public radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.
The festivals
I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already exchanged my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.
The famous people
When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus moment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.

A. I often leave campus for more than few days
B. I often attend some of them in person

“There is very little in my life that is more personal and more important to me than comets!” the amateur David H. Levy told Terence Dickinson in an interview. “Not just discovering them but watching them, learning about them, writing about them, understanding what they do. It makes observing the sky intensely personal. I feel when I find a new comet a door has been opened and I have seen a slightly new aspect of nature. There is this object in the solar system that ― for a few minutes or a few hours ― only I know about. It is like trying to pry(打探)a secret out of nature. It is a very special feeling.” Ever since he was a child, David H. Levy has been fascinated by the night sky and the wonders it reveals to devoted watchmen. He developed a special feeling for comets before he reached his teens, though it was not until 1984 ― after nineteen years and more than nine hundred hours of combing the sky in search of them ― that he discovered his first one, from a small observatory that he had built in his backyard.
Since then, he has discovered or co-discovered twenty more, making him one of the world's most important comet hunters. His most celebrated find is periodic comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which he made with the husband-and-wife comet-and-asteroid-hunting team Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker. The comet's dramatic collision with Jupiter in July 1994, which constituted(組成)“the greatest planetary show in recorded history,” to quote Malcolm W. Browne of the New York Times, captivated(迷。 not only professional astronomers, but many amateurs. Although he is only an amateur astronomer ― he earns his living by lecturing and writing books and by working with project artists. They’re projects devoted to introducing astronomy to elementary school children ― he has won tremendous respect from his professional colleagues for his success in tracking down comets. “David H. Levy is one of those rare individuals blessed with the gift of discovery,” David Hartsel, who serves on the board of directors of the Richland Astronomical Society, in Ohio, has said. “Even rarer is his ability to let others share in the excitement and wonder of those discoveries through his writing and lectures.”

48. According to David Hartsel, he most appreciates Levy’s ________.
A. gifted ability of comet hunting C. curiosity to the sky and comets
B. ability of communicating his ideas D. spirit of devotion to astronomy

A. he has developed a very special affection for the sky
B. he can discover a secret out of nature
