3、I had been to several doctors as a child，but I have a special place in my heart for Dr.Vincent．He was a Pediatric Cardiologist at UCLA back in 1971 who saved my life．I was eight years old at the time with a severe heart problem and I needed heart surgery．My Morn did not have the money，and without the surgery there was a real good chance I would not live to be thirteen years old．After contacting several organizations Dr.Vincent was able to get financial help for me through United Way，a Crippled Children’s Organization.
Dr.Vincent was a handsome man；he was also very gentle and caring．I remember being in the hospital for an Angiogram test，and during the procedure I was crying hysterically，so the medical staff called in Dr.Vincent to calm me down，and he was able to comfort me when no one else could．Then the time came for me to have heart surgery；there was a fifty—percent chance that I would not make it through the surgery because it was experimental．At the time I was only the second or third person to have this procedure done，they reconstructed the main artery by using an artery from my leg．I was absolutely terrified，and again Dr.Vincent reassured me he would see to it that everything would be all right．I had a lot of confidence and trust in Dr.Vincent．He came to see me after the surgery，which was extremely painful but very successful，and brought me a stuffed animal．I was so surprised to get this gift from Dr.Vincent；I gave him a hug．I guess Dr.Vincent must have known I was feeling very lonely and scared．You see，I had no family or friends visit me while I was in the hospital except for my Mom，and I am not sure why．I do know one thing：I had a wonderful doctor who took the time to help a scared little girl who felt all alone.
This was twenty eight years ago，so wherever you are，Dr.Vincent，I want to thank you for not only saving my life，but you helped me live a normal productive life，and for showing me that you truly cared，for that I will be eternally grateful to you.

2、A controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligent than women．The study concluded that men‘s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.
British-born researcher John Philippe Rushton says the finding could explain why so few women make it to the top in the workplace.
He claims the “glass ceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior intelligence，rather than lack of opportunity.
The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after．Scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00，000 students aged 17 and 18 of both sexes.
A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity――some of the key factors of intelligence――showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63 points higher．The average person has an IQ around 100.The findings，which held true for all classes and levels of education，overturn 100 year opinion that men and women average the same in general mental ability．They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in school exams than boys.
But Professor Rushton argues that the faster maturing of girl s leads to them outshining boy in the classroom.
