I climbed the stairs slowly,carrying a big suitcase,my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor,I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still,Dad 2 a step and fell,sending my new suitcases 3 down the stairs. “Damn!”he screamed,his face turning red. I knew trouble was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns red, 4 !
How could I ever 5 him to finish unloading the car without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls,girls I would have to spend the rest of the 6 with?Doors were opening and faces peering out(探出),as Dad walked with difficulty close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 7 start.
“Enter the room quickly,”I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But then again,would there be a chair in Room 316?Or would it be a(n) 8 room?
Finally I turned the key in the lock and 9 the door open,with Dad still 10 about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in, 11 the worst. But to my 12 ,the room wasn't empty at all!It had furniture,curtains,a TV,and even paintings on the walls.
And there on a well??made bed sat Amy,my new roommate,dressed neatly. Greeting me with a nod,she said in a soft voice,“Hi,you must be Cori.” Then,she 13 the music and looked over at Dad. “And of course,you're Mr.Faber,”she said, 14 .“Would you like a glass of iced tea?”Dad's face turned 15 less red before he could bring out a “yes.”
I knew then that Amy and I would be friends and my first year of college would be a success.

That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇)but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said.
Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.
“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(内分泌)changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块)in the arteries(动脉)which will cause a heart attack.”
“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich.

Do you like sitting on the edge of your seat? How about falling off it laughing? If so, "Rush Hour 1" is the perfect movie for you. Although it didn’t get the best reviews, it is perfect for those who like a good comedy.
Just as in the first "Rush Hour," Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) are partners. This time, they are on vacation in China and Carter is looking for a good time, but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy kills two customs agents. Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan killed his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?
Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action, which includes karate fights with Jackie Chan. One of my favorite scenes shows Carter and Lee in a massage parlor (店堂) when everything goes crazy.
"Rush Hour 2" is, of course, really funny with Chris Tucker in the lead role. Chan and Tucker have many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren’t enjoyed by the critics, but most will find them entertaining.
With no doubt, the movie was great. I was filled with anxiety about what was going to happen next. Many critics say that sequels (续集) are not as good as the original but this one is great. I especially enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal so everything looks as though it actually happened. The lighting effect is great as well as the sound.
So, if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you laugh quite a bit, you should rush to see “Rush Hour 2.”
