My mother pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssed away in 1983 at the age of 51. From the time I left home, she made a point of always calling me on my birthday. Of course, it was not during the day like most people would do. She would call at 3:00 am in the morning. Every year it would start like this, “At this time, years ago you woke me up, so I though I’d wake you up. Happy birthday!” My mother had a great sense of humor.
In the years after ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )she passed away, I missed those 3:00 am phone calls. I often thought if only I could hear her voice one more time.

The ringing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phone had also roused Catherine. Picking up the phone, I said hello but all I could hear was a cracking sound. You know the sound you hear when it's a bad connection. I kept saying hello. I said, "Catherine, do you hear this " Her answer was yes. Once again I said 'Hello. Who's there Through the phone in a woman's voice, I heard one word "Waterloo." With that, it stopped.
The next morning I aga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in asked Catherine if she heard the word Waterloo " She said she had, but had no idea what it meant. With tears in my eyes I told her how my Mom always called me at 3:00 am in the morning to wish me Happy Birthday!
Was it a call from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )my mom Nobody else knew that she would call me in the middle of the night to wish me Happy Birthday. By the way my mother lived at 222 Waterloo Street. To this day, I know in my heart, my mother always thinks of me at 3:00 am August 21st.

Not everyone thinks l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. Scientists did a research on diabetes (糖尿病) patients to test this idea.
Researchers divided 2 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0 high-risk diabetes patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. The laughter group (Group L) viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choosing, while the control group (Group C) did not. This went on for a year.
By two months into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the study, the patients in the laughter group had a lower level of the hormone epinephrine (荷尔蒙肾上腺素) which is considered to be a measure of stress. After 12 months, HDL cholesterol (高密度脂蛋白-胆固醇) had risen by 26 percent in Group L but only by 3 percent in Group C. In another measure, C-reactive proteins, a marker of heart disease, dropped by 66 percent in Group L but only by 26 percent in Group C.
“The doctors belie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve that there is a physical change brought about by positive emotions,” said study leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. Other research has also found that humor makes us more hopeful. “Still, more study is needed to know what these results mean,” Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about changes in body chemistry. The research result will be presented this month at a meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine showed that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels (血管) to expand, increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.
“Lifestyle ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to,” Berk said in a statement.

I needed to get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget.
I could never under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds ” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alf an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
When the big mome ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won’t beli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eve this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

The Mayan Indians live ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s．They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings． 1 This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their life more comfortable and rewarding．
In ancient Mexico ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) there were many small clearings in the forest．In each clearing was a village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it．To clear the land for farms, the Maya cut down trees with stone axes．They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks． 2
The Maya believed in m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods．The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods, around which cities were built．Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing．
Although the cities we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, few of them lived there．Usually, only the priests lived in the cities．The other people lived in small villages in the forests．They lived in small huts with no windows．The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves． 3
Measuring time was i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mportant to the Maya． 4 The Maya developed a system for measuring time accurately．Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time．They made a calendar based on their study of the sun, moon and stars．The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time．
Around the year 800, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return． 5 They may have died from an infectious disease．They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops．Scientists are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya．They are still one of our greatest mysteries．
A．No one knows why this happened．
B．Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature．
C．The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people,
D．Farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops．
E．They had to fight against natural disasters as common occurrences．
F．One farmer was abl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to grow crops producing food for several people．
G．The Mayan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people knew a lot about nature and the world around them．

TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level, Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. ______1_____
____2_____. Venice ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year, Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global tem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )perature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )laciers（冰川）melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10－25 cm in the last 100 years.
____3____. Through bu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. _____4______.
____5_____, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
A. The main cause of global warming is human pollution
B. Should this come true
C. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.
D. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea
E. The sea level could rise by one meter this century
F. people face a lot of pollution
