Some say everyday miracles (奇迹) are predestined (注定的) — the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn’t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift (换班) at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compression. And he revived in the end.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he’d first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
“The food was stuck. I couldn’t breathe, ” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened. ”
Who was the woman?
Penny Brown.

While learning the science lessons, I used to get a doubt-why ears, nose, tongue and eyes should be called as special senses? The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show some connectivity. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal? That does not mean we go deaf after a meal, but the hearing pitch does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you know that unless saliva dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten?Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50, 000 different scents, which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can dilate their pupils, change the focus and blur their vision. If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 vision, you are just among the one third of the human population. It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision, the rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues. A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also changed by the environment, diet and personal hygiene. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.
8. What does the example of “heavy meal and hearing” in the first paragraph prove?A.Every sensory organs has its specific function. |
B.We easily fall asleep after eating a heavy meal. |
C.We feel the world through our eyes, ears, nose and tongue. |
D.All the individual sensory organs are actually connected. |
A.Our sense of taste becomes sharper when our tongue is dry. |
B.The chemical dissolved in the saliva helps digest food eaten. |
C.Saliva plays an important role in identifying the taste of food. |
D.The taste buds works better when there is less saliva in the mouth. |
A.A craftsman who is working on a diamond. |
B.An actor who is doing rehearsal. |
C.A pilot who is flying a plane. |
D.An engineer who is checking machines. |
A.The identical genes guide him. |
B.He can recognize their unique smell. |
C.He can hear their individual voices. |
D.The sensor in his brain picks them out. |
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.
However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability? Any bag you already own.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through ‘green’ buying patterns, but it doesn’t seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being, but we don’t see that with ‘green’ consumption.”
“Owning every new ‘green’ product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.
12. Why does the writer mention “green” shopping habits?A.To call on a green lifestyle. | B.To praise people’s green efforts. |
C.To introduce a social trend. | D.To present a half true “green” truth. |
A.The plastic bag bans are of no effect. | B.Using any bag you have is the best bet. |
C.Reduced consumption is better for the Earth. | D.Growing cotton is far worse for the Earth. |
A.The sense of achievement. | B.The sense of happiness. |
C.The sense of relief. | D.The sense of security. |
A.Less is More | B.The Greener, The Happier |
C.Happiness Guarantee | D.What Are Green Products? |
How to Set New Year's Resolutions That Stick
Some people love the tradition of setting a goal each January 1.
1. Consider a penalty clause (惩罚条款).
This may sound upsetting, but can work wonders.
2. Make it fun.
If you want to be a straight-A student, you probably assume long, distraction-free study sessions (时段) are key.
3. Allow for emergencies.
You planned to get to bed early every night but couldn't resist staying up late one Friday. After that, your early-to-bed plans went out the window because “what the hell,” you'd already failed. Researchers call this the “what the hell effect.”
4.
Spending time around high achievers can improve your own performance. You'll pick up a bit because you tend to follow their patterns of behavior. Strangely enough, there is evidence that coaching (辅导) friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too.
A.Get a little help from your friends. |
B.Tell a few friends about your goal. |
C.Happily, there is a way out of this trap. |
D.The logic for why this works is simple. |
E.There are various games that make learning fun. |
F.But if it's not fun to study, you're unlikely to keep at it. |
G.Others argue it's a waste of time since most resolutions fail. |
