I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job and she had lots of bills to pay. It left me wondering what was going to happen to us now.

I walked a little slower so that I could 37   where it was coming from.   38   the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her.

She must have felt my   41   because she would  42 look in my direction. Then I walked over and put some  43     in her carriage and she said, “Thank you”. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been  44     a rough time lately, but you’ve made me  45 again.”

“I’m happy that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”

“Well, my mum told me she had got    46   from her job, and that made me sad. I’m not so sure what to do …”

“You see, here’s the problem,” she explained. “While you were        47   , your head was down. Don’t look  48 , because  49   comes in different ways and if your head were down, you might lose it.”

She also explained to me that she saw a lot of  50 people in the world and she tried to bring more  51 by sharing motivational (鼓舞人心的) music. She told me that when she wasn’t making music she studied  52  . So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.

I  53     a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing. So, after we  54, my heart was  55      and lightened by a musical soul!

During the summer holiday, I think I should do something meaningful instead touring. So I got a job in a fast food restaurant and worked there as cleaner. I worked seven hours a day. The job was hard and bored and seemed endless, that made me so tired that I nearly stopped it halfway. After all, I stuck to it with determinations. Every day I started off for work early in the morning and went to home late in the evening. Finally, I finished the job after the new school term began. Now, I understand that labor means. I think it is really a successful experience, which is worthy remembering for ever.

Europe’s deadly outbreak of a rare form of E. coli bacteria (大肠杆菌) has brought new attention to food safety issues. One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplest question is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did the people eat that made them sick?

Of course, one way to avoid these medical mysteries is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply. This is easier said than done, but scientists keep looking for new ways.

Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a high-tech optical scanner. The system is designed to identify the presence of contaminants(致污物) like soil or animal waste on fresh produce. These can be sources of E. coli. E. coli bacteria naturally live in the intestines(肠) of humans and many animals. Most kinds of E. coli are harmless but some can make people sick.

The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.

Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research center in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.

MOON KIM: “We were requested, we were asked, to develop a method to detect contamination in produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample.”

The scanner uses a high-speed camera placed over the conveyer belt that moves the produce along. As the apples move along the belt, the scanner captures images of each piece of fruit.

Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.

MOON KIM: “We are targeting for development in commercial plants for the next several years.”

The scanner can direct a sorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system is currently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. The inventers hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface.
