Temperatures in some parts of the country have eased a bit over the weekend. But there is no risk that groups of people are suddenly going to turn their backs on airconditioning. The airconditioner has established itself well in the hearts of Americans. The first widespread use of airconditioners came during the 1920 when movie theaters used what they called manmade weather to attract customers to the silver screen. After World War II,the cost for airconditioners started to come down and manufacturers advertised them as for the millions not just for millionaires. Deborah Hawkins,knows how to keep cool. She is chairman of the Airconditioner and Refrigeration Institute. We called her in her office in Fort Worth,Texas. Welcome to the program.

Well,thank you.

I suppose you've got your airconditioner going great guns. Yes,we do. Full blast (沖击波) in fact.

All right,take us back,where was the first airconditioned movie theater in the United States?

Well,it's probably in the Central Park theater in Chicago,Illinois. Willis Carrier,considered the king of cool and the founder of airconditioning actually,sold his inventions to movie theater operators during the late 19th and early 20th. And this was one of the first ones to have received it. And they actually had some of the largest audiences than anywhere else in the country as you can imagine.

And also I guess that the theater just stayed open during the summer.

Well,yearlong,yearlong. Well before they were primarily just open from November to May.

Well,what are some of the other early places to be cooled down by airconditioning? Well,right after the movie theaters,the government buildings in Washington D. C. were airconditioned,started with the US House of Representatives building,the Senate building,even the White House.

When did airconditioning become a stable of the Middle Class?

Well,actually it started in the 50s when sales exceeded over one million units. And then at each decade,it increased enormously. To where now today,probably 82% of all homes either have room airconditioning units or central airconditioning units in America.

Deborah Hawkins,is chairman of the Airconditioner and Refrigeration Institutions. Thanks a lot,keep cool.

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression―not the wrong one―from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job：

1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day,find out if your new job has a dress code. If so,be sure to follow it. No matter what,always be neat and clean.

2. Get to work on time. Employers value employees who come to work right on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to coworkers. These coworkers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your job duties,ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

5. Do not take too long for lunch. What is the lunchhour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company's personnel department. For example,do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?

6. Do not make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it is an emergency.

7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your coworkers behave around quitting time. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.

It was a halfmile walk from our small house to the beach road,where the taxi would be waiting for us. But that morning Jane was much 1 She couldn't make that walk. And I couldn't 2 her. The path to the beach was steep and narrow and 3 at the water's edge. ,

I was a stranger far from home. I didn't know where to 4 for help. But I needed it badly. I hurried down to the beach and I found help. Four fishermen were about to go out for their morning 5 . I told them about my sick little sister. Could they help me get her 6 the path?

I hardly got the words out of my mouth before they 7 their boat back onto the sand. They climbed the hill with me. One looked at Jane and they 8 their heads. They talked softly to one another.

9 sick to sit in a chair," one said.

"Better carry her 10 in bed," said another.

An iron cot (简易床) 11 along the cliff!I was frightened. How could they do it? 12 the men told me not to worry. "Truly easy,truly 13 ," they said.

They tied a rope to each leg of the cot. Each of them threw a rope 14 his shoulder and held the end in one hand. I understood what they meant to do. 15 they carried the cot down the path,they would use the ropes to keep the cot 16 . But what if one of the men slipped and lost his balance? What would happen to him―to the others―to 17 ?The men just smiled at my alarm. "That 18 will make us even more careful," they said.

The men went down the path. Every 19 was a careful one. Always the cot was level,with never a bump. When they reached the beach road,they quietly lifted Jane into the taxi. 20 ,they stretched her out on the back seat.

We made the morning train for Tokyo. And there an ambulance was waiting to take Jane to the hospital. The doctor told me that I had got my little girl there just in time. Jane would be all right soon.

Slang is one of those things that everybody can recognize and nobody can define. Not only is it hard to wrap slang in a definition,it is also hard to distinguish it from such similar things as colloquialism,provincialism (方言) ，jargon (行话) or trade talk.

Usually,slang tends to be transient. Thus parents are often laughed at by their children when this older generation uses slang which was considered to be the height of fashion in their own youth. Of course,the slang teenage children use today is very different from that of their parents. Indeed it might ever be some obscure (difficult to understand) foreign language as far as the older generation is concerned for it is totally beyond their understanding.

It is often said that a slang term stops to be slang when it is "accepted by the dictionary". This is not really the case. You will find many slang terms listed in dictionaries are still slang terms. The term stops to be slang when it drives its respectable synonym (同义词) out of use,or when it acquires a meaning that cannot be expressed otherwise.

Such things have happened. The term "hot dog" was once a slang term,but it couldn't be considered so now. No one in America would go up to a counter and order "a sausage sandwich". Similarly "varsity", originally a slang contraction (short form of a word) of university,has acquired a special meaning which only it expresses and is no longer slang. Jazz,when it means a particular kind of music,is scarcely a slang form,since there is no more respectable word meaning that kind of music.
