After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow(悲伤) that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw —— a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

A news release (释放,发布)is a tool of communication,through which information is passed to even the farthest end of the world.It keeps us well informed of the happenings of the world which would otherwise remain unknown.

When writing a news release,keep in mind that the media receive hundreds of releases every day.Try to follow these guidelines:Keep it short and professional.Come up with a catchy headline that will grasp someone's attention.Sometimes the title will take more time to come up with than writing the release.That's okay-the headline could be critical for getting an event covered!

Cover the 5 W's in your first paragraph.Those are who you are; what you are doing;where,when you are doing;why you are doing it,which help us understand the details about the event.Besides,any opinions in the news release should be put in quotations from your designated spokesperson.Include things that the media finds newsworthy,which is the most essential.

Make the time on your news release at least half an hour later than the time you have told activists to show up at an event.This will ensure that activists are prepared and in place by the time the media arrive.

Choose a spokesperson for the event who can be quoted in the release and will be available for calls at that number the day before the event.

Have someone proof the release for spelling,grammar and content (determine whether what you are trying to relay is clear and right).Sometimes the person who writes the release may not notice mistakes that a fresh pair of eyes will catch.

Accuracy is the last but not least important in terms of your content and the location and time that you tell the media.If you do make a mistake,it is critical that you call and notify the media of the correction.

Many Americans spend more time in cars these days than in the kitchen. But as lives grow busier—and waistlines grow larger—a number of health experts are calling for Americans to reduce their risk of cancer and other diseases by cooking at home more and eating out less.

“When dining out, people are likely to gravitate towards all the wrong thing,” says Rachel Brandeis of the American Dietetic Association. “People take in 50% more fat and sodium when they eat out than when they cook at home. And they often miss out on fruits, vegetables and other vitamin-rich ‘powerhouse foods’ that may reduce the risk of cancer.”

Nutritionists know it’s not easy to break old habits. Many people say they hardly have time to exercise, let alone fix dinner.

Brandeis says her secret is organization. She cooks six nights a week, even though she and her husband both work. She spends 20 minutes thinking about a week’s worth of menus and writing a list. She shops just once a week. Brandeis says she chooses easy cooking methods, too. Since she is not quite good at cooking.

The American Institute for Cancer Research has produced a guide filled with tips like “Homemade for Health”. Melanie Polk, the institute’s director of nutrition education, says cooking at home has many advantages. It teaches children about nutrition as well as the importance of sharing housework.

The 39-year-old homemaker Kirstin Kristinus of Washington, D.C. says cooking at home brings her family together. She also tries to reduce her family’s cancer risk by preparing every meal with many different kinds of food.

“The only way to know that you are getting all the good things is to expose yourself to a wide variety of food,” says Steven Shiff, a doctor in New Jersey. “If you eat out at a restaurant, it’s a lot easier to choose unhealthful things.”

However, “families don’t have to give up restaurants,” Shiff says. “It is possible to eat healthfully if you eat outside the home. But it takes probably the same sort of planning that you would have to do to prepare meals at home.”

1.What is worrying health experts?

A. Americans are having a too busy life.

B. Americans are getting fatter and fatter.

C. Americans are eating out more and more.

D. Americans are in greater danger of getting cancer.

2.What does the underlined part “gravitate towards” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Care about. B. Forget about.

C. Be afraid of. D. Be attracted to.

3.What is Melanie’s attitude towards cooking at home?

A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Worried.D. Doubtful.

4.What can infer from Shiff that_____.

A. eating out can be as healthy as at home

B. People should stop going to restaurants

C. Restaurants usually serve unhealthy food

D. Preparing meals at home is more meaningful

One day, while I was walking to work, I decided to bring some flowers that I had picked from my garden that morning. On the way, I ________ a stranger and presented the bunch to him with a smile card. ________ by the sense of joy I felt from giving flowers to another person, and may be ________ his day, I wanted to do it again.

When I got to my office, I had the ________ of anonymously(匿名地) leaving flowers around the workplace. The impersonal(无人情味的) ________ of the building where I work makes me ________. It just feels a little boring sometimes, ________ it's a nice building with great light. I ________ lots of people might feel the same way, so why not put a little ________ there, and throw in an inspirational ________ while I'm at it? After all, who doesn't like flowers?

So, for the past month, I've been ________ flowers in a little cup on the sink in the bathroom.

Each week, I ________ the flowers and the quote. It always feels ________ for me to read quotes like Henry David Thoreau's “If one advances ________ in the direction of his dreams, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” and Gandhi's “The fragrance(香味) always ________ on the hand that gives the rose.” If anything, I figured, it at least makes me ________ each time I visit the bathroom.

Then today, when I walked in, I noticed ________ flowers in the cup, and a quote that someone else had written! It ________, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”—Gandhi. This little act ________ me that, at the end of the day, we're all just people with hearts ________ the various roles and different hats we may wear in the workplace.
