I grew up in Westley，California．After graduating with high school．I went to Beijing and started teaching in a kindergarten．I had never been to a city big as Beijing before．I fall in love with Chinese food．I would eat out at the different restaurant every night and practice my Chinese with local citizen．I suppose the air was clean back home，but my life in China was much more interesting．My most favorite part about living in Beijing was nothing that many other foreigners didn’t like at all—the noise．I loved walking outside my door and hear the sounds of city life．Therefore，I’m back in Westley now，and all I hear is silence．I definitely miss Beijing．

Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death．Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage．The organism can still be revived(復活)．Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues．Death is then unchangeable and final.

Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs．The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep．By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陳代謝), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.

To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called KetA． The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic． Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature．When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery．The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in．For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state．Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees．At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing．After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more．After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自發(fā)的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head． After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room．Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.

1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.

A． his most important organs are damaged.

B． he still has the possibility of getting back to life.

C． he cannot avoid final death.

D． he is still very much alive

2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to __________.

A． slow down the body’s metabolism.

B． bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.

C． cool the organism.

D． delay the coming of biological death.

3.How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?

A． By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.

B． By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.

C． By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.

D． By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.

4.All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that__________.

A． her heart beat again.

B． she regained her normal breath.

C． she rejected a penicillin injection.

D． she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.

Customer service refers to the way that companies behave towards their customers. 1. However, many a time organizations don’t focus on customer relationship management, and that’s what makes customers angry, which is one of the reasons why companies lose their customers. 2.

First of all, you need to realize the great value of the customers. It’s they who are the boss, and it’s because of them that you get your pay checks. So do take your customers seriously.

3. You need to ask the customers the right kind of questions and think of the possible solutions which you can provide.

4. Treat customers as individuals and the best way to do that is using their first name and finding ways of praising them in a sincere way.

In addition, there are some other skills which will help you in serving your customers better.

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

1.According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?

A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.

B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.

C. They watch TV or read newspapers.

D. They listen to the radio every day.

2. To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six.

3.According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?

A. You often play football with your friends after school.

B. Your teacher has got a cold.

C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.

D. The bike in front of your house is lost.

For a lot of parents, sending their kids off to college is a bittersweet experience. I think a lot of teenagers head to college without any idea about how money works. Don’t let that happen to your college kid. Help them understand these issues before they step into that first class.

·Budget, budget, budget. 1. So start by making sure you understand budgeting and have begun to use it as part of your financial plan.

·Independence means responsibility. Living away from home means you have to take care of yourself. 2. Food doesn’t just drop out of the sky, and gas doesn’t magically appear in their car. Independence means responsibility.

· 3. Even if your kid is going to a small community college, they’ll still probably have a few thousand dollars of tuition to pay. If you break it down, one class can cost $1,000 at the very minimum! And that doesn’t even include books.

·Choose a major wisely. 4. This isn’t a must before they step on campus, but simply plant a seed that gets them started thinking about what they want to do with their life. You don’t want them graduating with a degree that leaves them unfulfilled or unable to find a job.

·Friends matter. 5. Who you hang out with definitely influences how you spend money and the decisions you make. Without being overbearing, remind them how important it is to have positive friends who build them up instead of bringing them down.

Remember, as a parent, just be there for support and to strengthen these principles throughout their college experience.

A. College isn’t cheap.

B. Cherish your opportunity.

C. Help your teenager find his or her passion.

D. However, not all friends can be really depended on.

E. New friends mean new opportunities and social situations.

F. Do your best to prepare your son or daughter for what that means.

G. If you aren’t using a budget, it’ll be difficult to convince your kid to use one.
