Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. However, I was not thinking about the golden chain when I had to help people who   36  their way and parked in front of my house.

I was growing tired of helping so many people. Almost every   37  I was awaken during a sound night’s sleep and had to   38  someone out. Many times I was   39  by some penniless motorists who did not even thank me for the helps that they received and some even complained that I could have done   40 .

One day, a young man with a week – old beard climbed out of a   41  automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some   42 , offer him gasoline and a meal. I told him that if he wanted to work for me, he could cut the grass, but   43  the work wasn’t necessary.

Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard. After working all day, he sat   44 to cool himself. I thanked him for his work and gave him the money he   45 . I then offered him some   46 money for a task particularly well done, but he shook his head,   47 .

I never saw him again. He probably thinks I helped him out that day, but that is not   48  it was. I didn’t help him. He helped me to   49  people again to repay their trust in me. He helped me to once again want to do something for those who are   50 . I wish I could thank him for   51 some of my belief in the basic   52  of others and for giving me back a little of the   53  I had lost. Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of kindness that   54  us to others.

I may have fed his body that day, but he fed my   55 .

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of    31  . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged   32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the   33  of a friend. Then count the occasions   34  you indicated clearly and truly that you were   35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep   36  in us knows that when even a small wrong has been   37 , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and     38  is expressed.

I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of   39 : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No   40  cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “  41  you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some   42 , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been   43  his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother   44  forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good   45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man   46  crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m   47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it   48 . If you can think of someone who   49  an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it   50 .

In today’s throw away society, dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an inereasing challenge for the city countil(市议会)。

   Recently. Edinburgh is faced with the problem of dssposing of(处理)about250,000

Million tons of waster a year . Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner---largely through encouraging tecycling---its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.

   The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waster are to hr disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh. East Lothian. West Lothian. Midlethian and Borders) face fine around $18million a year from 2013 it they don’t inerease recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the coumlls got together with the idea of building a lage incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But the plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.

After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s wast by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative soution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.

Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.

That still leaves eth council with a problem. By 2013,only50%of 1995 levels of waste will benllewed to be sent to landfill. Even if recveling large are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due build an Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an ineinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.

LONDON (Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French­Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异)，researchers said．
The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long­lasting without major problems．Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants，neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society，they reported．
Only three people have received face transplants．The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog．In 2007，her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejection．
In 2006，Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30­year­old hit by a bear．While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said．“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face，and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society，” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote．
A French team described their work on a 29­year­old man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease，an illness that changes the shape of his face．“The man，who was not named，was given a new nose，mouth and chin in a 2007 operation．He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue，” his doctors said．
“Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement，” Dr．Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri­Mondor hospital outside Paris wrote．
