My father is middle school teacher. He is a middle-aged man, so he works like a young man, full of energies. Every evening he is busy correcting his students¡¯ exercises, prepare his lessons and doing some reading. Sometime when I wake up at midnight, I find him still busy on his work. Father puts all his heart and soul into his work. He cares for his students very much. If only his students have any difficulty, he will try his best to help us. When Father is in hospital last year, all his students went to see him. I was deep moved. Such is my father, and I love him very much.

Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people's health is the amount of education they have.

In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census(ÈË¿ÚÆÕ²é). These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.

Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.

In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000 could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.

Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people have made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn¡¯t changed for less educated people.

Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.

¡°I think it¡¯s a reminder not to be satisfactory,¡± Meara says. ¡°Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn't always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that's something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.¡±

Meara points out that education can often determine income ¡ª people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do not show that people who make more money are automatically healthier. Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

Be an inventor

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it¡¯s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth.

Wrong idea number 1: 1.

Well, inventing means creating something ¡°new¡±, but the idea could come from something that already exists. 2.

Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made.

There are a lot of factors that make invention possible. Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a special talent for music. 3. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten.

4. Very successful creators don¡¯t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, ¡°A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!¡±

Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always old people.

5. Here is an example of a young inventor: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was 15, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.

A. Everyday things can give people lots of ideas.

B. An invention has to be something completely new.

C. But other factors were also important for his creativity.

D. As a young man, George Nissen invented the trampoline (±Ä´²).

E. Don't believe that you can¡¯t invent something when you are young.

F. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was ¡°99% hard work and 1% inspiration¡±!

G. The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a ¡°flying machine¡± from watching birds.

Having bad feeling about world? ¡°Cheer up.¡± says science writer Matt Ridley. ¡°The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.¡± 1.

1. 2.

It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, and better cars. 3. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we'll be.

2.Brilliant advances

One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs¡ªfood, clothing, fuel and shelter¡ªhave grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for. 4. Today it's half second.

3.Let's not kill ourselves for climate change

5. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (»¯Ê¯È¼ÁÏ) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (ֹѪ´ø) around our necks.

A. Ridley calls himself a rational optimist¡ªrational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence.

B. Overreaction to climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.

C. Shopping fuels invention.

D. And, of course, we earn more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.

E. In 1950 it was eight seconds.

F. It¡¯s high time that we took immediate action to fight climate change.

G. Here's how he explains his views.
