Connie was a (47)C.As we became acquainted,she confided (吐露) how (48)D it was to be married 32years to a man who often called her"a silly woman".
"I know Bill loves me."she said."But he has never been one to say he loves me,or send cards to me.I'd give anything if he'd say‘I love you',but it's just not in his (49)A."
Soon,when Connie had fewer(50)C moments,I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.
One day,I got him on the (51)Bof women,how we need romance in our lives and how we love to got sentimental cards.
"I don't have to,"he said."She knows I do!"
"I'm sure she knows,"I said,"but she needs to hear what she has (52)D to you all these years.Please think about it."
Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon.There stood Bill,leaning (53)Cthe wall in the hallway and staring at the floor.I already knew Connie had (54)D at 11a.m.
When I saw Bill.his face was wet with (55)C and he was (56)B.
He said,"I have to say how good I feel about telling her.He stopped to (57)A his nose."This morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her.You (58)Dhave seen her smile!"
I went into the room to say goodbye to Connie.There,on the bedside table,was a large Valentine (59)A from Bill,(60)B:"To my wonderful wife…I love you."

7.School failure is a process in which a student slips farther and farther behind his peers(同龄人)and gradually disconnects from the educational system.The end result of school failure is leaving school before graduation.Many cases of school failure happen among students who have the ability and intelligence to succeed but are not able or willing to apply these abilities in the school setting.
People who fail in school may feel"stupid",but emotional or mental health problems and"hidden"learning disorders,not low intelligence,often are the root causes of their inability to meet the standards of a school.The following are some factors that can lead to school failure.
Depression is one of the most common causes of school difficulties.It is a condition that makes people trapped in low spirits for long periods of time,have less energy,and lose interest in studies that normally give them pleasure.
Anxiety is a feeling of excessive worry about a possible danger or an uncomfortable situation that is intense enough to interfere with(妨碍)a person's ability to concentrate and focus.
Students also may bring their problems at home to school with them.If a student's family is experiencing violence,unemployment,or any other upsetting situation,it can be ifficult for him to concentrate on schoolwork.Many students who are having family problems might have trouble controlling their anger and frustration at school,and they may end up in trouble because of their behavior.
Learning disorders are conditions that interfere with gaining specific academic skills,such as reading or writing.Learning disorders can damage a person's ability to process or remember information.
Students at risk of school failure need to be identified as early as possible in their school careers if they are to receive the help they need.This task usually falls to the teachers and parents.Parents can help by taking a genuine interest in their children's school life and attending school events.They should take seriously sudden changes in their children's behavior,sleeping,or eating.Besides,they should help their child identify what he or she is bad at or good at.
On the other hand,there are a lot of things teachers can do to help those students who fail in school.For example,they can develop learning plans that support the students'strengths,carry out evaluations about their possible learning disabilities,support their learning by teaching them how to study,and encourage them to participate in school activities,such as sports,plays,or clubs,so that they feel they are a part of the school.

6.I remember when someone would mention the words"extraordinary life",the entire thought seemed only for the rich and famous.The idea seemed unreachable and only came to the lucky few.I finally woke up to the truth that living an extraordinary life could truly be achieved if you focused on the small things.
Here are five simple steps:
Make a list of 100things to do:Take out a piece of paper and write down anything and everything that comes to mind.From the littlest things to the most extreme,it all goes on your list.This simple act of writing this list stretches your imagination and opens up the possibilities to see your life.
Change up your routine:We are creatures of habit and this can lead to staying comfortable.Our life can tend to run on auto-pilot and we spend a large amount of time completely numb to what is happening around us.Therefore,by changing up our typical routine,we begin to have a better understanding of the experiences of our own life.
Learn something new every month or two:Remember when you were a kid and you had to learn something new all the time?You were nervous,excited,and a little scared when you first tried to ride a bike.But once you did it a few times,you began to get the hang of it and suddenly had an increase in your confidence with a feeling like you could fly.Once you begin to push yourself just that little bit extra,you quickly grow your comfort zone and feel braver to do even more.
Hang around with others:There are always those people whose lives are extraordinary.The best way to find out what they do different is to spend a little time with them.See how they think,speak,and act differently.You will be surprised at how quickly you begin to try some new things and feel more confident.This is a great way to follow some outstanding people and begin opening your mind to new ways of thinking.
Seize the day:There are opportunities that happen around us daily.Take notes on how many times you would really love to do something,but for some reason you find yourself saying no.Many times we say no because we feel we don't have time or money.Start saying YES to just one or two things you might have originally said no to.
The next time you find yourself feeling stuck in an ordinary life,try out at least one of these simple steps.Just that tiny bit of"extra"goes a long way and before you know it,you'll be expanding your world.

5.The public were shocked in March when the news that improperly stored vaccines (疫苗) worth millions of dollars were sold to patients all over the country.
China is trying to rebuild public confidence in vaccines after the news struck fear into the hearts of parents.
Chief government officials should be dismissed if serious vaccine violations (违规) took place in their jurisdictions (管辖区),according to a revised regulation (规定) approved by the State Council.The regulation was passed on Saturday and took effect immediately,the report said.It strengthens management rules for vaccines,including their transportation and storage,and increases punishments for violators.
The regulation requires B-class (non-compulsory) vaccines to be given out like A-class.It also requires disease control departments,hospitals and clinics to keep records of purchases and received inventory (存货清单).China will establish a system to track vaccines,according to the regulation.Companies and user agencies must record use,so all vaccines can be tracked across their life cycle.
China will also raise the amount of compensation paid to those suffering abnormalities (反常) after receiving vaccines.Measures under consideration include the introduction of commercial insurance to improve fairness and efficiency in compensation.Commercial insurance is expected to play an important role in compensating people for any health problems connected with vaccines.In the past,responsibility for compensation belonged to vaccine producers or to the government.
Meanwhile,local authorities are trying to reduce public worries.At Zhcheng hospital,health workers were spreading vaccine information to parents on Monday.In Northeast China's Jilin province,authorities are pioneering a digital system that makes vaccines storage transparent to the public.In Hefei,capital of Eastern Anhui province,authorities have developed a smart phone application that shares vaccine information.
Immunization (免疫) is the most economic,effective and safest way of preventing,controlling and getting rid of communicable diseases,said Mao Qun'an,spokesperson for the National Health and Family Planning Commission.Although vaccines can provide immunization against certain diseases,they can also cause side effects and result in serious physical harm in some individuals because of a person's health condition,although the chances of developing problems are extremely low,according to experts.
Vaccines stand for the primary means in most countries to prevent and control infectious diseases,and parents should get their children vaccinated as required by the government,said Yu Wenzhou,an expert at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
