Watching a child struggle to breathe during an asthma（哮喘） attack is frightening for any parent．So it is only natural that most moms and dads will try just about anything-including spending a lot of money-to keep an attack at （41）H．Trouble is，more than half of parents are trying strategies that simply don't work and wasting hundreds of dollars in the（42）E．
According to Dr．Michael Cabana，a pediatrician at the University of Michigan's C．S．Mott Children's Hospital，who led the study，one of the most（43）Bmistakes was to buy a mattress cover to protect against dust mites（尘螨）for a child whose asthma instead was made even worse by plant pollen．Many of those parents then （44）Jto do what would have helped a lot more：shut the windows to keep pollen out．Another was using a humidifier for a child who was allergic（过敏）to dust mites； a humidifier（45）Gto be a place where dust mites like to （46）A．With those allergies，a dehumidifier works better．
Worst of all was the number of smokers with asthmatic children who didn't even try to quit or at least（47）C themselves to smoking outdoors rather than just moving to another room or the garage．Many smoking parents（48）Fexpensive air filters that have what Cabana called"questionable utility．"
Part of the problem，Dr．Cabana and his colleagues believe，is that parents are bombarded by television ads that encourage them to buy products such as air and carpet fresheners，ionizers and other remedies that are often expensive but medically （49）I．And doctors may not always take the time，or have the time，to explain to parents what will and won't work in their child's particular case．

The launch of Apple's iPhone 4s tempted thousands of buyers to its two outlets in Beijing on the cold winter night of Jan 12th．But the size of the crowds brought a sudden （41）G of sales of the iPhone 4s on the morning of Jan 13th and one store in Beijing didn't open at all，because the growing crowd of eager Apple followers created safety （42）F．
This is not the first time Apple's marketing strategy（策略） has caused such trouble among the buying public，for similar trouble （43）A in January last year when the first release launch of the iPhone 4was made．
Apple's clever marketing has made the company's products （44）Jlifestyle accessories（附件） for many，but this strategy will （45）H result in mass rushes and disturbances and if it continues with this marketing strategy，it is only a matter of time before one of its product launches ends in （46）C．
Intentionally fuelling demand by limiting a product release to create a state of panic among consumers，who fear they may not get their hands on their objects of desire，is not only immoral but also （47）I．
Apple should take the lessons from the experience of Unilever（联合利华）．The giant consumer goods company was （48）D 2million yuan in May 2011by the Chinese government for repeatedly spreading rumors（谣言） of price rises．
Apple has the ability to make it easier for consumers to order new products online or by telephone．Apple cannot afford to （49）Ethe Chinese market，so it has no excuse for not changing its strategy so as to avoid such incidents in the future．

3．I recently heard a story from Stephen Glenn about a famous research scientist．He had made several very important medical（36）B．Once，he was being interviewed by a newspaper journalist who asked why he was able to be so much more creative than the（37）D person．What set him so far apart from others？
He responded that，in his opinion，it all came from a（n）（38）A with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old．He had been trying to（39）C a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell，（40）A its contents all over the kitchen floor-a veritable sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of（41）B at him，giving him a lecture or punishing him，she said，"Robert，what a great and wonderful（42）B you have made!I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk．Well，the（43）D has already been done．Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes（44）D we clean it up？"
Indeed，he did．After a few（45）C，his mother said，"You know，Robert，whenever you make a mess like this，eventually you have to clean it up and （46）A everything to its proper order．"And together they cleaned up the spilled milk．
His mother then said，"You know，what we have here is a （47）B experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands．Let's go out in the back yard and （48）A water into the bottle and see if you can discover a way to carry it without （49）B it．"The little boy （50）C that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands，he could make it．What a wonderful （51）D!
This renowned scientist then（52）C that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes．Instead，he learned that mistakes were just（53）C for learning something new，which is，after all，what scientific（54）D are all about．Even if the experiment"doesn't work，"we usually learn something （55）A from it．
