A
Woman Uses Daughter‘s Key to 'Steal' Car
Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter‘s car and taken it－using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter‘s car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry（丰田凯美瑞）and used her daughter‘s key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn‘t her daughter‘s.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn‘t find a record of it, they took a theft report.
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn‘t hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant‘s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, 'It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom（赎金）,” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed 'because of mistaken car identity', Anderson wasn‘t charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the 'thief'. 'Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置） as well - so high-five for Toyota. I guess.' he said.

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.
25. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Ads B. Movies C. Briefs D. Health and Diet
26. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B. the changes in people’s diet
C. the effect of fish eating on people’s health
D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
27. The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to the connection between ____ and the level of heart disease.
A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating
C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different areas
28. From the passage we know the author is most probably ___________.
A. a heart doctor B. a science researcher
C. a supporter of healthy eating D. a university student
C
Telepathy: Mind-to-mind Contact
Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.
We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you] you are most likely to be better at sending.
You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you] that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.
Telepathy & Relationships. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.
29. Telepathy turns up when we ____.
A. think of a stranger
B. use the five senses together
C. recall things from our memory
D. sense a close friend in danger
30. You’re better at sending than receiving Telepathy if you ____.
A. can tell who knocks at your door
B. can feel your mom is in danger
C. receive a friend’s call as you wish
D. dream of a friend dreaming of you
31. Which is not the way to help people gain Telepathy?
A. Help them have a strong desire to communicate.
B. Separate them all the time.
C. Help them link up their unconscious minds.
D. Let them spend much time together.
D
Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy‘s tummy.
The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael‘s little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at St. Mary‘s Hospital.
The little girl gets worse. The doctor tells the parents, 'There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.' Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral.
Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, 'I want to sing to her,' he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. “If he doesn‘t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, 'Get that kid out of here now! ' The mother, the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse‘s face, her lips a firm line. 'He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!' Karen tows Michael to his sister‘s bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing.
'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray”
Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady.
'You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don‘t take my sunshine away '
The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten‘s purr.
Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.
Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day — the very next day — the little girl is well enough to go home!
NEVER GIVE UP THE ONE WE LOVE!

Recently, our school has held the meaningful discussion on whether it is reasonable for middle school students to have classes on weekends. Some of our classmates believe we should have classes on weekends because we can make fully use of free time to review the lessons we had learnt. Some others are against the opinion, saying we had better to have a good rest on weekends so that we can work effective during the weekdays. The rest agree with neither of the opinion. They have the view which keeping the balance between work and play are important for us. They suggest one day of the weekend should used to learn our lessons and during the other day we do something interested or have a rest.

It’s useful and necessary to discuss learning habits. In reality, different students have different learning habits, which I think influence their learning efficiency greatly. Good habits always lead to high efficiency, while bad ones bring the opposite.
Some students are good at concentrating on what the teacher teach in class. They think only in this way can they understand and memorize the teaching materials better. If we find those materials interesting we’ll focus our attention on them for long. However, those dull lessons require our determination, self-controlling ability and confidence.
My classmates always call me “Mr. forgetful ”, because I cannot memorize those I have learnt. I know that it is because I don’t spend some time in memorizing them after class. my teachers advise me to repeat the materials several times and read them aloud, which they think will improve my memory. |
