7．My parents have certainly had their troubles，and as their child I'll never know how they made it to 38years of marriage．They loved each other，but they didn't seem to like each other very much．Dad was too fond of his beer，and he talked down to Mom a lot．When she tried to stand up to him，a fight would inevitably follow．
It was my dad's disease that began to change things．The year 1998was the beginning of a remarkable transformation for my family．My father，Jim Dineen，the always-healthy，weightlifting，neve-rmissed-a-day-of-work kind of dad，discovered he had kidney disease．
The decision to go ahead with a transplant for my father was a long one，mostly because he had liver （肝脏）damage too．One physician's assistant told him，"According to your file，you're supposed to be dead．"And for a while，doctors mistakenly thought that he would need not just a kidney transplant，but a liver transplant too． Dad's future hung in midpoint．
When the donor testing process finally began in the spring of 2003，numerous people，including me，my uncle Tom，and my mom，came back as matches of varying degrees．But Mom was the one who insisted on going further．She decided to donate a kidney to my father．She said she wasn't scared，and it was the right thing to do．We all stepped back in amazement．
At last a date was chosen-November 11，2003．All of a sudden，the only thing that seemed to matter to Dad was telling the world what a wonderful thing Mom was doing for him．A month before the surgery，he sent her birthday flowers with a note that read，"I love you and I love your kidney!Thank you!"
Financially，the disease was upsetting to them．So my sister and I were humbled and surprised when，shortly before his surgery day，Dad handed us a diamond jewelry that we were to give to Mom after the operation．He'd accumulated his spare dollars to buy it．
At the hospital on the day of the transplant，all our relatives and friends gathered in the waiting room and became involved in a mean euchre （尤可牌游戏）tournament．My family has always handled things with a lot of laughter，and even though we were all tense，everyone was taking bets on how long this"change of conduct"would last in my parents．
We'd informed Dad that if he chose to act like a real pain on any particular day after the operation，he wasn't allowed to blame it on PMS just because he'd now have a female kidney!
The surgeries went well，and not long afterward，my sister and I were allowed to go in to visit．Dad was in a great deal of pain but，again，all he could talk about was Mom．Was she okay？How was she feeling？Then the nurses let us do something unconventional．As they were wheeling Mom out of the recovery room，they rolled her into a separate position to visit Dad．It was strange to see both our parents hooked up to IVs and machines and trying to talk to each other through tears．The nurses allowed us to present the diamond jewelry to Mom so that Dad could watch her open it．Everybody was crying，even the nurses．
As I stood with digital camera in hand，I tried to keep the presence of mind to document the moment．My dad was having a hard time fighting back emotion，and suddenly my parents unexpectedly reached out to hold each other's hands．
In my nearly 35years of existence，I'd never seen my parents do that，and I was spellbound．I snapped a picture and later rushed home to make sure I'd captured that enormous，life-defining moment．After so many years of disagreement，it was apparent to me that they finally understood how much each loved the other．

6．From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases．A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine．It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases．The expectation of life has increased greatly．But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before，every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men，women and children on the roads．Man vs the motor-car!It is a never-ending battle which man is losing．
Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen．
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel （方向盘），his car becomes the extension of his personality．There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man s very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel．They say，they are ill-mannered and aggressive，willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish．All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior．Everything is done for his convenience．Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic； towns are made ugly by huge car parks； the countryside is ruined by road networks； and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year，to be easily forgotten．
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life．With regard to driving，the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax （不严整） and even the strictest are not strict enough．A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate．Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done．The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is； all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so； the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21； all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year．Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability．Present drinking and driving laws （where they exist） should be made much stricter．Speed limits should be required on all roads．Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories，as has been done in the USA．All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned．These measures may not sound good enough．But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths．After all，the world is for human beings，not motor-cars．

4．Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．
With no time to waste，Andy sped off in the opposite direction，riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm．With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously，he sped down the rough road．As the bees came closer，his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days．Suddenly，his father's words came to him．"When you are in a tight situation，don't panic．Use your brain and think your way out of it．"
On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home．"Bees don't like smoke，"he thought．"They couldn't get into the house．"Andy raced towards the Nelson house，but the bees were gaining ground．Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden．Off his bike and into the cool water he lived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．
