My
parents ran a small restaurant. It was open
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a
week. My
first job was shining shoes for customers when I
was six years old. My duties
increased as I
grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and
washing plates. My father
made it clear that I
had to meet certain standards. I had to be on
time, hard-working and
polite to the
customers. I was never paid for any work I did.
One day I made the mistake of
telling Dad I

Unexplained Parallels
One of the best-known collections of parallels is
between the careers of Abraham
Lincoln and
John F. Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in
the presence of their wives;
both were
succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both
their killers were themselves
killed before
they could be brought to justice. Lincoln had a
secretary called Kennedy;
Kennedy a secretary
called Lincoln. Lincoln was killed in the Ford
Theater; Kennedy met
his death while riding in
a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor
Company -- and so
on.
Similar
coincidences often occur between twins. A news
story from Finland reported of
two 70-year-old
twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate
accidents, with both being
hit by trucks while
crossing the same road on bicycles. According to
the police, the second
victim could not have
known about his brother's death, as officers had
only managed to
identify the first victim
minutes before the second accident.
Connections are also found between identical twins
who have been separated at birth.
Dorothy Lowe
and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and
did not meet until 1979,
when they were flown
over from Britain for an investigation by a
psychologist at the
University of Minnesota.
(8处答案为met,34)They found that when they met they
were
both wearing seven rings on their hands,
two bracelets on one wrist, a watch and a
bracelet on the other. They married on the
same day, had worn identical wedding dresses
and carried the same flowers. Dorothy had
named her son Richard Andrew and her
daughter
Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew
Richard and her daughter
Karen
Louise.(10处答案similar自己看下这个不一定, children) In fact,
she had wanted to
call her Catherine.
Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a
string of similar
mannerisms when they were
nervous.
How can we explain the above
similarities?

Finding Creative Outlets for
Very Stressful Times
Beautifying your home
is a fun and practical pastime that can offer a
wonderful sense
of accomplishment. Few people
may realize, however, that painting the walls,
knitting
bedspreads or sewing pillows can help
relieve the life pressures we all experience.
Studies indicate that engaging in creative
endeavors such as sewing and crafting can
lower one's risk of stroke, kidney damage and
heart disease.
These calming, repetitive
activities relax the mind and can lower blood
pressure.
Sharing such activities can also be
a way to spend time with loved ones, which
increases
our sense of belonging and further
reduces stress.
People have always
turned to working with their hands in times of
stress. Handicraft
works, with their symbols
of hope, have a far greater impact when created by
groups.
Keep in mind the following tips
to increase the stress-relieving benefits of your
craft
projects:
1. Work with materials
that stimulate the senses; work in a comfortable
area without
distractions; play your favorite
music.
2.(4处答案framing) Make a family project
of selecting your favorite photos, and frame
them so they can be enjoyed every day. In
stressful times, the photos can lift your spirits
as you recall happy moments.
3. If your
schedule is hectic, choose a practical project
that will make the most of crafting
time. If a
simple kitchen curtain needs to be replaced, start
there.
Change sometimes compels us to see
things in new ways.

答案（仅供参考）16 years old，go to
college, clothes and boys, her grades slipped,
a
scholarship, wealthy, afford,
tuition，normal，fashion and dating，a talk，think
about ,putting
college off，wait, 未知,push ,take
her education, seriously
原文She Doesn't
Seem Ready for College
Hi, Jenny, you don't
look happy. What's wrong?
Jenny: Well, Roger,
I've got a problem.
Roger: What is it?
Jenny: You know my daughter Jane is 16 years
old now. And we've begun talking about
college. She says she wants to go, but she's
let her grades slip and no matter how I urge
her to study, all she seems interested in are
clothes and boys. We're not wealthy, you
know.
And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition
if she can't get a scholarship. Is going
to
college the best choice for her right now?
Roger: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready
for college?
Jenny: You're right.
Roger:
Then you'd better have a serious talk with Jane
about college.
Jenny: A serious talk with
her?
Roger: Yes, to my mind it's quite normal
for girls her age to be wrapped up in fashion and
dating, but as a mother you have a right to
expect her to pay attention to her studies too.
Jenny: Yes, but how?
Roger: Ask her how
serious she is about college and how hard she's
willing to work for it.
Jane may be more
committed than you realize. But if not, tell her
she should think about
putting college off for
a while. That could give her the push she needs to
take her
education seriously.
Jenny:
Sounds like a good idea.
Roger: And if
you decide she should wait, she can get a job,
take classes at a community
college or do an
internship to get experience. She may be just one
of those who need to
see a bit of real life
before they settle down.

Exercise 1: 1. D 2. C
Exercise 2:
Leaves are Nature's food
factories. Plants take water from the ground
through their roots
and carbon dioxide from
the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide
into sugar in
the presence of sunlight and
chlorophyll. This process is called
photosynthesis. Leaves
are mostly green
because chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact,
there are, in leaves,
small amounts of yellow
and orange all along, but they are covered up by
the green
chlorophyll in summer. They show up
in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves,
due to the decline of photosynthesis. The
bright reds and purples we see in leaves of
trees like maples are made mostly in fall. The
brown color of trees like oaks is made from
wastes left in the leaves.

2. It is the

3.
They change their colors at the same time no
matter whether they are on a high
mountain or
in warm lowlands because the timing of color
change seems to be genetically
inherited.
4. It is because their needle-like or
scale-like foliage is covered with a heavy wax
coating and the liquid inside their cells
contains cold-resistant elements.
5. In
the Arctic because the winter there is too cold.

答案Where,
原文For years Mr. Urquhart and his colleagues
wondered where the migratory monarchs
spent
the winter. (第3、4空答案mystery仅供参考， his colleagues
wondered)Despite their
hopes, fieldwork in
Florida and along the Gulf Coast discovered no
large groups of
wintering monarchs. Then in
late 1972, his wife Norah wrote to newspapers in
Mexico
about the project, asking for
volunteers to report sightings of the butterfly
and help with
tagging. Finally, in response
came a letter, dated February 26, 1973, from a man
called
Kenneth Brugger in Mexico City, who
offered to help find the butterfly hideaway.
Traveling in his motor home, Brugger drove back
and forth across the Mexican
countryside,
looking for clues. He was especially watchful at
dusk, when the butterflies
would be moving
about looking for a place to sleep.
At
last, one day was successful. On the evening of
January 9, 1975, Brugger called
from Mexico.
have found them -- millions of monarchs -- in
evergreens beside a
mountain clearing,
High in a range of volcanic mountains that crosses
central Mexico, he came upon
hundreds of
evergreen trees, each entirely hidden by sleeping
butterflies. Some of the
insects wore tags
that Mr. Urquhart and his helpers had put on them
in Canada and the
northern United States. The
mystery was solved! The monarchs' winter home is
well
suited to their needs. Throughout the
winter the temperature stays near freezing. It is
not
cold enough to kill the visiting insects,
but it is chilly enough to keep them from moving
about. The butterflies survive on the stored
fat from their summer foods.
In spring
the butterflies awaken and fly north again. Tagged
butterflies, which were
marked in Mexico, have
been found in the United States.
So one
mystery is solved. But another remains. How do the
butterflies find their way?
Those that migrate
south in the fall were born sometime during the
summer or early fall.
They have never been to
Mexico. Yet they somehow seek out the same resting
places.
The mystery of how they find their way
is left for future scientists to solve.

原文The
Girl Who Sounded the Alarm
Kelly worked at
a photo shop in San Jose, California. In her 16
months of developing
photos she has seen a few
strange images. Sometimes there were naked people
and
sometimes there were photos of dead people
from funerals. But what came to her eyes
that
morning was the scariest she had ever seen. In the
photographs was a young man in
black gloves
and belt and pants, with a white T-shirt saying
Natural Selection. He was
seen either
vigorously waving pipe bombs in the air or holding
a shotgun. In the
background of the
photographs Kelly could see pipe bombs with nails
taped all around
them so they would hurt
people when the bombs went off.
Photo
clerks at her shop are told to report possible
suspects of various crimes to
authorities.
Sometimes, however, there is no clear direction on
what should be reported.
But the photos of the
young man left no doubt in Kelly's mind.
Kelly turned to her boss and said, going to call
the the manager
hesitated, for he was afraid
that this might bring trouble to him and his
business. So she
consulted her father, a
veteran police officer, who told her to dial 911
at once.
Officers were waiting when the
customer came to pick up the photos. Kelly's
decisive
action may have prevented mass
murder, according to the authorities. The 19-year-
old
student in the photographs had taken the
pictures as a final step in a two-year-long plot
to
blow up and gun down crowds of students at
his college. He was charged with weapons
possession with intent to injure and was put
in prison.

PART D
Brain Organization and
Handedness
Scientific studies during the
1970s and early 1980s suggested that differences
in left-
and right-handers' patterns of brain
organization may be associated with differences in
skills, abilities, and perhaps even
personalities. In the large majority of right-
handers,
about 98 or 99 percent, speech is
controlled by the left side of the brain.
The right side of the brain, however, is usually
used for recognizing and remembering
faces and
understanding relationships in space. In left-
handers, it is difficult to know
exactly their
patterns of brain organization. About 65 to 70
percent of left-handers have
speech controlled
by the left side of the brain, which is also true
of right-handers. But in 30
to 35 percent of
left-handers speech is controlled by the right
side of the brain. In some
left-handers, both
sides of the brain are capable of controlling
speech.

PART D
Preparing for a Negotiation
I think first of all one needs to be prepared. I
mean to know what you want from a
negotiation,
what your aims and objectives are. Without clear
aims, you can't have clear
thinking, so aims
are vital. What do you want? A contract? A firm
agreement? Or just to
find out a few things?
Then, you have to know what's the minimum
deal. Decide what is the lowest offer you
can
accept for a deal.
Then you have to know
where you can give way, or make concessions. So
fixing
concessions and targets is important.
Without that you end up agreeing to something and
later you think
the time but was in fact
okay, not bad anyway.
Another area is to
know your strengths and your weaknesses. This is
as important as
being aware of the
opportunities and threats -- or dangers -- that
exist outside, from
competitors for example.
So, know the market, know your strengths, and know
about
prices and other possibilities.
If you do this, you can see the negotiation in its
proper
context. Then you need to prepare all
supporting information. Figures, numbers,
pictures,
whatever. It could be anything, but
the most important thing is that you can support
what
you say. It helps you to be clear.
Next, the team has to be well prepared, well
managed. If it's a team you have,
everyone
needs a clear role, clear responsibilities.
Finally, your opening remarks. Prepare what to
say. Begin in general terms what you
hope to
achieve -- the general intention, what you're
looking for. (答案hopes to
achieve)The opening
statement sets up the right atmosphere, the right
expectations, it
helps things to be clear
between the two sides.

From Rags to Riches
In
the 1990s, Demi Moore was a major movie star and,
as the wife of Bruce Wilis, one
half of a
Hollywood power couple. Life was good. She had a
multimillion-dollar mansion in
Los Angeles, a
25-acre ranch in Hailey, Idaho. Nothing about that
glamorous life had
anything in common with her
poor childhood.
She grew up in New
Mexico. Her parents were hard drinkers who moved
her and her
half-brother 30 times before
settling in Los Angeles when she was 14. Fiercely
ambitious,
Moore began modeling while at high
school and dropped out at 16 to pursue an acting
career. Soon after she turned 18, she got a
part in a popular soap opera. But her big break
came in 1985 when she starred as a drug addict
in a hit movie.
Moore met Bruce
Wilis in 1987. It was love at first sight. They
got married in Las Vegas
four months later.
The next year, Wilis starred in Die Hard, making
him one of Hollywood's
top-paid actors, while
Moore's success in Ghost and A Few Good Men
boosted her
paycheck to more than $$12 million
per movie.(In the 1990s答案未知)
These were
followed by three big-budget movies, one of which
was The Scarlet Letter.
Then her career
stalled. And in October 2000, her 13-year-old

原文The French Franc
For a century much attached to national symbols,
France took the imminent death of
the
franc calmly. It was as if an ancient great-great
uncle were about to pass away: a time
for
nostalgia and regret, rather than grief.
Unlike the German mark, the franc had never been a
symbol of national rebirth or glory.
Its
recent history was relatively stable but it had to
be revalued as recently as 1960. In the
1950s,
its value and reputation were so weak that French
politicians considered
abolishing it and
replacing it with something else, based on the
value of the pound.
But money is money
after all. It is with us every day. It was
surprising that such a
conservative people did
not express greater sorrow for the loss of their
familiar francs. It
was also surprising they
did not feel a greater sense of aesthetic loss for
the franc had
always been one of the world's
most beautiful currencies.
The name franc
was first used in 1360, to celebrate and help to
pay for the release of
King Jean II, who was
captured by the still poundless English. He
created the
was finally restored by the
Revolution in 1795. On February 17th, 2002, the
French franc
disappeared completely from the
financial scene.

Exercise 2:
In the 20th century
there were two main theories on the origin of the
universe. One is the
steady state theory, and
the other, the big bang theory. According to the
former, the
universe has always existed and
will exist forever. If this view were correct, the
universe
should have looked the same millions
of years ago as it looks now. but astronomers have
found that the old universe did not look the
same as it does now. therefore, the steady
state theory does not seem to be correct.
The big bang theory states that the universe began
in a massive explosion at a single
point in
space about 15 million years ago. If the statement
were right, there should exist in
the universe
the cosmic background radiation from the
explosion. Researchers have
found evidence for
its existence. In the 1960s, while studying radio
signals from the Milky
Way. researchers at
Bell Labs found their work experiencing
interference from every
direction. They
discovered that the interference turned out to be
the cosmic background
radiation . So the big
bang theory appears to be the correct.

原文Hubble's
Closest Look at Mars
NASA is releasing
several images taken by the Hubble Space
Telescope, which is the
closest yet look at
the red planet. Altogether there are four images,
which show the entire
planet. Each view shows
the planet as it completes one quarter of its
daily rotation. In
these views the north polar
cap is turned toward the Earth and is clearly
visible at the top
of each picture. The images
were taken in the middle of the Martian northern
summer,
when the polar cap was at its smallest
size. During this season the sun shines
continuously on the polar cap. Previous
spacecraft observations have shown that this
summertime polar cap is composed of water ice,
just like Earth's polar caps.
The Hubble
Telescope pictures reveal that great changes have
occurred on the
surface of Mars in the past 20
years. The Martian surface is ever changing. Some
regions
that were dark 20 years ago are now
bright red; some areas that were bright red are
now
dark. Winds move sand and dust from region
to region, often in huge dust storms. Over
long timescales many of the larger bright and
dark markings remain stable, but smaller
details come and go as they are covered and
then uncovered by sand and dust.
The
Hubble pictures reveal that the surface of Mars is
covered with a lot of volcanic
rocks. But
mysteries still remain. Has there been life on
Mars? Is there life on it now? How
different
is it from our own planet? These are a few of the
questions waiting to be solved.

原文Making a New Mosquito
Bloodsucking
mosquitoes are perhaps Earth's most persistent
pest, delivering malaria,
yellow fever and a
host of other diseases each year to more than half
a billion people and
killing between 2 million
and 3 million. Numerous gallons of pesticides are
sprayed each
year in an effort to wipe out the
tiny beasts. But the results have not been good.
Many
species of mosquitoes have become
resistant to insecticides.
For nearly
two decades scientists have been thinking of
creating a designer mosquito
that would have
no ability to spread diseases. Finally in 1998,
using technologies
developed in genetic
engineering, scientists succeeded in producing a
new type of
mosquitoes with red eyes. These
mosquitoes not only look different but act in a
different
way. Every time they suck
blood, a substance that recognizes bacteria and
kills them will
be produced.
The
major challenge for scientists today is to create
a species of mosquitoes that are
incapable of
transmitting malaria. For this they will have to
turn their attention from the
laboratory
species to malaria-causing species in the wild.
As scientists move closer to their goal,
they are facing a growing argument over
whether it is practicable or wise to create
such genetically engineered creatures and set
them loose in the environment. One of the
problems is that genetically engineered
mosquitoes would need to be created for each
of the estimated 100 species that carry
illnesses that affect humans. Furthermore,
strains of these mosquitoes vary from place to
place. Even though these problems can be
solved, where is the village or town that wants
a million or so biting mosquitoes released?

原文An Interview with a
Successful Woman Writer
(The author of Harry
Potter, J. R. Rowling, is being interviewed by a
reporter.)
Interviewer: Where do you get your
ideas from, Mrs. Rowling?
Rowling: I wish I
knew. Sometimes they just come like magic and
other times I have to sit
and think for weeks
before I manage to work out how something will
happen. Where the
idea for Harry Potter
actually came from I really couldn't tell you. I
was traveling on a train
between Manchester
and London and it just popped into my head. I
spent four hours
thinking about what Hogwarts
would be like -- the most interesting train
journey I've ever
taken. By the time I got off
at King's Cross many of the characters in the
books had
already been invented.
Interviewer: Are any of the characters in the
books based on real people?
Rowling: Tricky
question! The answer is yes, and no. I have to
confess that Hermione
Granger is a little bit
like I was at her age, though I was neither as
clever nor as annoying.
Ron is little bit like
my oldest friend and Professor Snape is a lot like
one of my old
teachers, but I'm not saying
which one.
Interviewer: How long have you been
writing?
Rowling: Nearly all my life. I had
written two novels before I had the idea for
Harry, though
I'd never tried to get them
published.
Interviewer: Did you expect the
Harry books to be this successful?
Rowling:
Never. I just wrote the sort of thing I liked
reading when I was younger. I didn't
expect
lots of people to like them, in fact, I never
really thought much apart from getting
them
published.
Interviewer: Any clues about the
next book?
Rowling: I don't want to give
anything away, but I can tell you that the books
are getting
darker ... Harry's going to have
quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry
if they get
too scary!
Interviewer: Who
are your favorite authors?
Rowling: My
favorite writer of all time is Jane Austen.

How to Deal with Traumatic
Events
None of us are fully prepared to deal
with traumatic events. We feel devastated whenever
property is destroyed or there is a serious
injury or a loss of life. We can become
overwhelmed when friends, co-workers and loved
ones experience tragic, dangerous,
life-
threatening or violent events. To cope, we can
look for support from our community,
friends,
families, co-workers, employers, or a health care
professional. A special meeting
within the
first 24 to 72 hours of a traumatic incident for
the people directly involved as well
as others
affected is an important step toward recovery.
It is critical to discuss what happened,
our role, what we thought, as well as our
emotional and physical reactions. This may not
take place all at once but may need to
happen
formally and informally over a period of weeks.
Without this, the problems
associated with
traumatic incidents can become chronic and less
easy to cure. Talking
about traumatic events
can become more challenging when an individual is
exposed to
repeated traumas over time.
