Dear ,
I'm Bob Watson, one of the customers in your grocery store. I'm writing to express my idea
about your goods.
Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways. First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh
bakery
items.
Second
your
low
prices
and
excellent
customer
service
keep
me
coming
back
to
Supermart.
I
have
found,
however,
that
I
must
make
a
separate
shopping
trip
to
one
of
your
competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient
for
me,
as
my

is
valuable,
and
I
don't
like
to
make
two

I
have
been
a

Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the items I need in one
place, I would be a more satisfied customer.
Specifically,
I
have

I

for
their
customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it
is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its
competitors.
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider
the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.
Yours truly,

China will green light Internet medical services conducted by medical institutions as part of a
broader
push
to
promote
Internet
Plus Healthcare,
those
at
a
State
Council executive
meeting
chaired by Premier Li Keqiang decided.
Medical
institutions
will
be
allowed
to
provide
online
diagnostic
services
for
some
common
and chronic diseases in patients' follow-up visits to their doctors. The top levels of hospitals will
be encouraged
to
provide
online
services,
including
consultations
(
会诊
),
reservations
and
test
result inquiries.
As
China
joins
the
ranks
of
middle-income
countries,
the
demand
for
health
services
has
increased accordingly. Internet Plus Healthcare can help reduce the problem of inaccessible and
expensive public health services that have long been a big concern for the general public.
One decision coming out of the meeting says the intelligent review for health insurance will be
applied and the one-stop settlement will be advanced. The real-time sharing of prescription and
drug retail sales will be explored, as well.
“We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures once the decisions made.” Li said.
“In recent years, top
-level hospitals in major cities have seen steady increases in the number of
patents. Medical bills have become a heavy burden on families and high-end medical resources
sill fa
ll short of meeting the growing demand of the public.”
To
solve
the
problem,
a
two-pronged
(
双管齐下的
)
approach
must
be
taken.
One
is
to
establish
medical
partnerships
to
strengthen
cooperation
between
major
hospitals
and
community clinics. The other is to bring forward Internet Plus Healthcare to promote the sharing
of quality medical resources.
The
government
will
see
to
it
that
long- distance
healthcare
services
cover
all
county-level
hospitals.
So
more
efforts
will
be
made
to
ensure
that
high-speed
broadband
network
will
be
extended
to
cover
medical
institutions
in
urban
and
rural
areas.
Dedicated
internet
access
services will be set up to meet the needs for long-distance healthcare services.

China's cancer researcher Zhu Chen, together with two French researchers Anne Dejean and
Hugues de Thé, received Sjoberg Prize 2018 in Stockholm Concert Hall, Sweden on Friday.
“We used wisdom from both Chinese and Western medicine and offered a cure to one of the
most deadly cancers,” Chen told Xinhua, “I feel that Chinese medicine has potential to contribute
more to human health. It struggles for benefiting all mankind. It's a language of peace, and of
development and progress.” Chen recalled the cooperation with the two French researchers for
over 30 years.
This year's Sjoberg winners have developed a new and targeted treatment for a specific form of
blood cancer called acute promyelocytic leukaemia (
急性早幼粒白血病
). It was once one of the
deadliest forms of cancer, but it is now possible to cure nine out of ten patients who receive the
new treatment. The winners have made this revolutionary development possible by methodically
mapping the molecular mechanisms responsible for the disease.
The Prize is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and is funded (
资助
)by the
Sjoberg
Foundation.
The
foundation,
with
a
donation
of
2.5
billion
US
dollars,
was
founded
in
2016,
and
serves
to
promote
scientific
research
that
focuses
on
cancer,
health
and
the
environment.
The Prize is an annual international prize in cancer research awarded to individual researchers
or research groups. The prize amounts to one million US dollars, of which 100,000US dollars is
the prize sum and 900,000US dollars is funding for future research.

when they are cooked. It's almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants
that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food
from
other
plants.
It
feeds
by
sucking
juices
from
the
plant
which
is
wrapped
around,
often
making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder
can
find
other
plants
by
their
smell.
When
a
young
dodder
plant
starts
growing,
it
follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike
most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the
direction of, for example, tomato smell
—
if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once
it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a
smell of a potential host
within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a
host,
the
young
dodder
plant
will
attach
itself
to
it
and
start
growing
faster.
At
that
point
the
dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get
out
of
hand,
dodder
can
greatly
reduce
a
farmer's
harvest
or
even
destroy
crops
completely.
Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make
sure
no
unwanted
dodder
seeds
have
mixed with
their
crop
seeds. This
is
a
good
way
to
stop
dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.

“If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few
days,
it
will
dry
up”
可知,菟丝 子如果不能很快找到可以寄生的植物,它就会变干,因此推

If you're showering every day, you're probably over doing it. In fact, showering too often can
actually hurt your body in the long run.
As Time's public health column explains, daily showers are common due to social norms more
than
any
proper
health
need.
We
connect
being
freshly
showered
with
being
attractive
and
pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better.
But what's the ideal shower frequency? In terms of your health
—
not how you look or smell
—
probably
once
or
twice
a
week,
assistant
professor
of
dermatology
at
George
Washington
University, Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell says. “Your body is natur
ally a well-
oiled machine,” he says. “A
daily shower isn't necessary.”
Of course, your situation may vary. If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you'll
obviously have a visible layer of dirt you'll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work
out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you'll still be smelly. If
you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic
(审美的)
reasons, at least make most
of them light showers. “I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell
says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of
your body doesn't need much soaping, he says.
Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks
(裂纹)
that can
lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that
help keep it healthy. So, even if you're aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it
moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run.

America
is
well
known
for
being
a
melting
pot
of
different
ethnic
groups
and
cultures,
but
nowhere is this diversity more pronounced than in Queens, New York.
Here,
second-generation
Puerto
Ricans
live
alongside
third-generation
Greeks
and
first-
generation Koreans, all united by a common feeling of pride in their American identity. However,
they are also proud and curious about their ancestral roots. National Geographic's Genographic
Project,
also known
as
the Human
Family Tree,
set
out
to
trace
the
origins by examining
their
genetic
makeup
using
a
simple
DNA
test.
What
interested
them
more
was
something
that
intrigues us all: the history of our recent ancestry. One recurring theme among immigrants seems
to be the hard work and sacrifices that went into building a new life, and how their descendants
now feel a duty to honor that effort by working hard too. Here is one Queens resident's story.
Richard, 38
My great-grandfather Tomas came to America from Poland when he was fifteen. His mother
had died, and his father remarried. Tomas didn't like his stepmother, so he ran away to Belgium,
where he boarded a ship to America
—
without a ticket. Arriving in America with nothing, he got a
job on the railroads in California. Then one day he saw an announcement in a newspaper that
was read by immigrants. It was from his brother in New York who was also seeking his fortune in
America and was looking for him. Tomas got in touch and they had an emotional reunion in New
York, where Tomas subsequently settled. This is the story that my grandmother has passed down
to us, to my parents, and all my aunts and uncles. She is an amazing woman and I suppose: the
one
who
holds
us
all
together.
She's
actually
quite
forgetful
now,
but
she
never
forgets
family
details. What that has meant is that all of us have a strong family bond and a strong sense of
belonging to a group that has struggled and fought together to steered here.

Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-
class citizens.
As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among
one hundred
chicken
faces
and
recognize
familiar
individuals
even
after
months
of
separation.
When
given
problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give
up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends,
and mourn when those friend die.
Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at
Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the
O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's.
Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the
pigs
walked
only
toward
the
O-shirted
people:
they had
transferred
their
knowledge
to
a
two-
dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.
I've
been
guilty
of
prejudiced
expectations,
myself.
At
the
start
of
my
career
almost
four
decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals.
They're other primates(
灵长目动物
), after all, animals from our own mammalian(
灵长目动物
)
class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters
of
cultural
learning,
and
elephants
express
profound
joy
and
mourning
with
their
social
companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in
our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in
laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme
parks.
Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish,
chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of
an ethical (
伦理的
) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to
catch up with the development of our science?
Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what
about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to
make changes in who we eat?
