A Miracle(奇迹)of Tears
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season, We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were 36 . The rivers were long gone back into the 37 . If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true 38 of sharing and 39 the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.
I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods, Minutes after he disappeared 40 the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
I went back to making sandwiches, 41 that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 42 ,he was once again toward the woods. This 43 went on for an hour-walked 44 to the woods, and ran back to the house.
45 I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 46 him on his journey.
As I leaned in (屈身) to spy on him. I saw the most 47 sight. Several large deer were is front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground 48 suffering from dehydration(脱水) and heat exhaustion. Lifting its head with 49 effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 50 .
When the water was 51 ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 52 off. Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle芳百世(细流)began to creep out. When he stood up and began to 53 ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 54 ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly 55 by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.” Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safely belt-a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths (无事实根据的观点)about safety belts ever since their first appearance in car some forty years ago.
The following are three of the most common.

Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in eases where people are “thrown clear”.
Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safely belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head of having free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speed of less than 30 miles per hour (mph)

When a consumer finds an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the producer’s promise for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保证书), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain(投诉)directly to the store manager, In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settle in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.”
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.
60. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to
A. complain personally to the manager

C. show some written proof of the purchase to the store
D. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

A. a shop assistant B. a store manager
C. the producer D. a public organization

A. how to settle a consumer’s complained about a faulty item
B. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item
C. how to deal with complaints from customers
D. how to avoid buying a faulty item

When TV programs report wars or disaster, the editors rarely use the most horrifying piecrusts of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they “may find some of these disturbing” so they can look away if they choose, But the men and women whose jobs are to record those scenes-the TV cameramen –have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the war and record them, no matter how gruesome and unpleasant they may be Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing job that the world offer.
Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies-such as Reuters and WTN-have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.
These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him, The freelancer must survive on his own.
“TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feet uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, ” explains Nik Growing, once foreign editor for Britain’s Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.
“By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them, It also enables them to contract out the risk, ”he says.

A. need to work on their own
B. have to take great risks in the course of work

B. TV cameramen are being challenged by the freelancers
C. TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killing whether they like them or not
D. TV cameramen have to contract out the risks or their companies

Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they to not eat mote than their bodies need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles, When a fragrant flavor(香味) was added to vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water . In time, however, they broken the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.
So, in selecting food, rat and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to greatly influenced by what is going on around them.

A. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious food
C. adults’ eating habits are closely to the social and culture customs
