Passage Three

They can't see that our neighbors have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn't eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer (下水道). Why? Is it only because they have money? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn't there?
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. I'd like to see the children will be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.

Not all metals have unit cells with cubic symmetry; the final common metallic crystal structure to be discussed has a unit cell that is hexagonal. Figure 3.3a shows a reduced-sphere unit cell for this structure, which is termed hexagonal closepacked (HCP);an assemblage of several HCP unit cells is presented in Figure 3.3b. The top and bottom faces of the unit cell consist of six atoms that form regular hexagons and surround a single atom in the center. Another plane that provides three additional atoms to the unit cell is situated between the top and bottom planes. The atoms in this midplane have as nearest neighbors atoms in both of the adjacent two planes. The equivalent of six atoms is contained in each unit cell; one-sixth of each of the 12 top and bottom face corner atoms, one-half of each of the 2 center face atoms, and all 3 midplane interior atoms. If a and c represent, respectively, the short and long unit cell dimensions of Figure 3.3a, the c/a ratio should be 1.633; however, for some HCP metals this ratio deviates from the ideal value.
Want to Be 100? Listen to These 5 Centenarians(百岁老人)
Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirement community who are all centenarians get asked all the time: "How did you live to be 100?"
If you want to live to 100 or more, this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity(长寿)is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while you're at it.
Even though an estimated 70, 000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age, it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one place.
The average life-span(寿命)of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birthday party. And most people don't want to cut out coffee, soda, alcohol, cigarettes, and eat healthy food.
"People tell me all the time, ‘I don't want to live to be 100, '"said Mildred Leaver, who turned 100 in June.
"I think that's just sad. Aging is attitude and I don't feel old, "said Leaver, a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.
It doesn't take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris, Grace Wolfson, Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas, have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits. All are 100 except Stuart, who is 101.
Even though their sight and hearing aren't what they used to be, they've all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with. It's been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time.
The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer, designer, school principal, bookkeeper and secretary. In the early years of their lives, gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-olds are today.
Currently about 70, 000 people are aged 100 or above in America.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
W: Right, right. We hope so.
M: But why is it important to have a good relationship with them?
W: Well, you know, your home is your sanctuary. And how you get along with your neighbors really plays a large part in your health, wellbeing and happiness, because you know, your neighbors really kind of make your home. And so it's important at least to establish a good, cordial, or at least polite relationship with your neighbors.
M: How do we establish that? When you move into a neighborhood, right, should you reach out to the neighbors or should they be reaching out to you?
W: I think it could work either way. I mean, certainly, if they don't reach out to you, don't assume that they are being rude or unfriendly. They just might be holding back because they think you are too busy — unpacking and settling in. So if they don't make that first step, you know, after a few days, go ahead and introduce yourself, because I think once you are on a first name basis with your neighbors, it makes that much easier to prevent problems later on, or maybe call on them for a favor down the road like if you are on a vacation and you need them to water your plants and pick up your mail. It's much easier when you know them personally.
M: Yeah, neighbors can be helpful, but of course they can also be annoying. Our neighbor plays music, really really loudly. He's three houses down, and it's extremely loud from early in the morning to late at night. What do we do to ask him to not play music so loudly?
W: Loud music is one of those top complaints, and I think you know for most reasons.., people, they probably aren't even aware that they are causing problems for their neighbors. And I think if you bring it up to your neighbors' attention they will be more than happy to fix it. But you can take that, you know it's-not-you, it's-me approach. You could say something like, you know, I kind of, I'm really a light-sniff sleeper or I suffer from migraines. Can you help me out by, you know, turning down the music during those evening hours or the early morning, or come up with a compromise that works for both of you, a resolution that works for both of you.
M: Don't just call the police, right? Which a lot of people do. So that's a common complaint: loud music, but also sometimes we can have smells and other things that assault our senses as in the case of another person we talked to on the street...

It's the first sign of progress after three years of confrontation, the statement of principles that would rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons. The North said it would abandon its nuclear programs in return for aid, economic cooperation and security guarantees. The chief American negotiator Christopher Hill described it as "a win-win situation" and "a good agreement for every one". The most contentious disputes between North Korea and Washington have all been deferred for future discussions. North Korea continues to insist on the provision of a civilian nuclear power plant to replace its existing facilities. The demand had nearly led to the breakdown of the talks.
The main idea of the news is ______.
A.North Korea agreed to hold peace talks with South Korea
B.North Korea violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
C.North Korea signed an agreement to abandon its nuclear weapons
D.North Korea abandoned its use of nuclear power

He begins by doing little else than reading, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three years' study to practice, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.
The power to use books, then, is a talent that a good lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough ability to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding what a book contains, and something of a sense for where to look for what he wants.
But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way.
What is the major way for a lawyer to learn law?
A.Going to the court.
B.Practicing law.
C.Trying cases in court.
D.Reading books.
