12．I would always remember that day．When I was14，all I wanted was a unique necklace with my name carved．It was the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one．On my 15th birthday，my Mum gave me a beautiful necklace with my initials （姓名首字母） carved into it．I was in heaven．
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being"replaced"．We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the"new"stuff （东西） we got was really just to replace what we'd lost．But not my necklace．My necklace was new．
Then，only one month later，I lost it．I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning．I was sad and searched everywhere for it．But it seemed to have disappeared．Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it．And two years later，we sold the house and moved away．
Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents'when Mum told me that she had something for me．It wasn't my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion．"You'll recognize this one at once，"she said，smiling．
Then she handed me a small box．I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful necklace inside．The family who had bought our house 13years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets．When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the necklace．As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the necklace．They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother．And it still fits me．

10．Everyone has got two personalities （个性）---the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior，but when you're asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．
If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive （不坦率的） person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You're very stubborn，but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．

9．I grew up with a fat dad-450pounds at his heaviest．Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment．
After my third grade year，my dad landed a life changing job in Manhattan．My mom，my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown，Chicago，and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind．
Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City．I here would be no more special weekends at my grandmother's house，the only place I can remember feeling happy，safe and nourished （有营养的）．It was what I desired．In this new city，I felt extremely alone and lost and I missed my grandmother terribly．
My grandmother knew just how I felt-and she knew the cure．Every week，she would send me a card with a   20bill，a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market．It kept us bonded，and her recipes filled my body and soul．
Over the years，I have grown to better understand my father's struggles with weight and the toll （代价） it took on him and those who love him．I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity （自负）or selfishness as much as by a deep pain．And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment （or perhaps because of it）．as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant．
Today，my father weighs 220pounds and is a vegan （素食者）．How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks．More importantly，food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart but a bridge that keeps us connected．There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight loss victories．And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father's house，just as my grandmother did for me．

8．The Streisand Effect
When Barbra Streisand discovered in 2003 that a photograph of her California beach house was among 12，000photos on the Internet as part of a collection by a photographer Kenneth Adelman，she did what any famous person would do：hit him with a﹩50million lawsuit （诉讼）．But in trying to hold back the images，she caused a different result．Her legal actions led to almost half a million people visiting the website，viewing and copying the photos within a month．
Ever since then，the effect of letting public know something you are trying to keep secret has been called the"Streisand effect"．The problem for anyone trying to cover up information is that the Internet is the world's biggest and most useful copying machine．Put a document （文件） on to a connected machine and it will spread．So when you want to be famous，you can't，but if you find yourself receiving too much attention and want to remove yourself，you cannot．
There are many examples of the Streisand effect．Nine-year-old Martha Payne created a simple blog，posting the meals her school served．She took a photo of what was hardly a satisfying meal by anyone's standards．With the photo，she added a comment，"Now Dad understands why I am hungry when I get home．"The thing did not go too far，until the local authority （权威机构） banned （禁止） little Martha from doing that again．Martha posted a final post called"Goodbye"，explaining everything．Once the media found this out，things went from bad to worse for the authority．Now the blog has more than 9.5million page views．Martha has even expanded her blog by including pictures of school meals taken by other kids from all over the world，like Germany and Japan．
We can find similar examples throughout history．Man has experienced the Streisand effect ever since the birth of mass communication．Why does it exist？Every time you are told not to see what's in the secret shiny box wrapped in gift paper，you're going to do everything in your power to do exactly that!Just realizing that knowing something about someone is harmful to their status，we will want to know that piece of information．This is exactly the human nature．This is what lawyers and authorities should be familiar with．Unfortunately，a few of them fail to understand it．

A．Parents'reaction．B．The authority's order．
C．Martha's comment．D．Supporting from the school．

C．The ban on something may have opposite effect．

5．The ships and life jackets（救生衣） were ready．Now I just had to wait for my little brother，Daniel．His lungs had only 40percent of the breathing capacity（量）of an ordinary teenage boy．Every morning，evening and night，he did some breathing treatments．Daniel was fourteen-only four years younger than me-but I made it my business to look out for him．Friends who were coughing had to stay away until they were well．If not，it would mean a trip to the hospital if Daniel caught a cold．Many people said I was overprotective，but I knew it was my responsibility to keep him healthy．I was like Daniel's guardian angel（守护神），though he probably didn't know it．
I climbed into my seat and waited．When he was breathing better，we made our way past the cliffs（峭壁） that lined the shore．Cliffs rose on either side of us，the water breaking against them．The ocean was mad，but it was no trouble for us with rowing（划桨）experience．We felt surprised at the beauty of the scene-clear blue sky and calm breeze．
"Whoa，"Daniel said，looking up．In minutes the blue sky became windy and dark．Waves hit the shore and our ships went up and down in the wave．I looked back at Daniel to make sure he was okay and he was．
I got a bit too close to a rock on my left side．But before I could move away，a strong wave swept up my ship and pushed me toward the very rock I was trying to avoid．I tried to slow down and keep my balance．But I was headed right for the rock!Suddenly，my ship was ripped（裂开）by the rock from under me．I fell into the water．Everything was white．After my head broke the surface，I looked around but my ship was nowhere to be seen．The waves were too strong．I could hardly move．The water pulled me and pushed me at its will．
I could see my brother 30yards away．He was just away from the dangerous white water and rocks，still upright，in his ship．If he came closer，he would fall into the water，too．He wouldn't have the strength to fight．But Daniel was already on his way，rowing as fast as he could．I caught hold of the back of his ship．Breathing hard，Daniel pulled me toward the ship．He struggled and could hardly breathe but kept rowing．
Finally my feet touched the shore．It took Daniel a while to get his breath back．We shared a quick hug and we both lay on the shore．
Looking at Daniel，I thought of something．
