  Pope died at her home here at age 61 on Aug. 29,2003. A towel had been placed around her neck to keep her cool on that 87-degree summer day. She wore a white dress while sitting in a chair in an upstairs room,in front of a television that played as family members went about their lives downstairs.

  She remained there,according to her wishes,for almost 2 years. "Don't show my body when Fm dead," Dr. O'dell Owens,said Monday when explaining Pope's wishes. "Don't bury me. I'm coming back."Owens called a news conference Monday to explain Pope's death,the unusual state of her body and how family members controlled heating and air conditioning as they attempted to preserve her remains.

  Cincinnati police found the mummified (木乃伊似的) grandmother Wednesday in her two? story,peachcolored home in the 5,500 block of Davies Place.

  "Living in the 75-year-old house with the body were her daughter,Lisa Pope,a grand?daughter who was born three months after her death,and Pope's caretaker,Kathy Painter," investigators say.

  Family members are not being charged with a crime at this point.

  Efforts to reach them Monday were unsuccessful. No one came to the door at the house or answered repeated telephone calls.

  "Only a handful of loved ones knew Pope had died and that her body remained upstairs ," Owens said.

  "Family members kept a window air conditioner running to keep Pope's body cool―until about a month ago,when it broke," Owens said. Heating vents (通风口) were covered during winter. Life continued as Pope had wanted.

  "Friends and relatives who visited were told Pope was upstairs,ill," Owens said. Some yelled "hello" up the stairs. The deception (欺瞒) lasted 2 years.

  "Pope's sister,Deborah Gaston,hadn't seen her sister in years," Owens said. Gaston called Cincinnati police Wednesday and reported a dead body at the home.

  Pope's sister wasn't the first person to call police. A woman from Pope's church called police on Halloween,after hearing thirdhand that Pope was dead inside the home.

  "Police investigated,but they didn't have enough information to go into the house”, Owens said. "The call from Pope's sister was enough,and police found Pope's body dressed in the white gown,seated in the chair and in front of the television,which was turned on ," Owens said.

 Chatting with friends online in English is an approach to enjoying the delight brought by using a foreign language as a real tool of communication. But I don't think it is the best way to improve our English.

  Firstly,as you know,when you are chatting,you have no time and energy to pay attention to the grammar and it is common to spell words in wrong ways,and no teacher will check and correct errors for you. So if you overlook such kind of mistakes and fall into the habit of spelling and writing without thinking carefully,you will most likely forget the Standard English and totally be confused eventually. Here,I take the liberty to suggest that you should remember to confirm what you have "said" online as soon as possible by turning to your dictionaries and grammar books after being offline.

  Secondly,during the spell of chatting,you have to answer the same questions such as "where are u from","how old are u" etc. patiently in order to show your politeness. And I don't think they are good questions,even it is not too much to say they are dull and tasteless. In other words,it will make both you and your friend feel tiresome soon. As a result,the atmosphere of chatting will be frozen. I suggest you should switch your topic wisely at that time instantly. Otherwise,both of you will be in low spirit,let alone learn something from each other and improve your English level. The only benefit,I guess,you can get from it is killing your precious time in an expensive way.

  When it comes to talking about the fee spent for being online,I think it is still too high to be accepted by most students and unfortunately the greater proportion of chatters (who like chatting in English) are students who are supported by parents. And each penny is drenched in parents' sweat.

  So,my conclusion is that chatting with friends in English online can't be totally substituted for learning English in class,and if you want to improve your English overall,then,chat online properly not frequently and do more hard work after being offline.
