We know thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warningThe sky cleared upThe sun shone brightlyJust as usual，I seized the umbrella with my left handStill theres water dropping down. I walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart“Today I will ask for a rise，or Ill leave this company”Good luck to you，I smiled to him“Ill manage to make you live forever”A little boy held a pet dog close to him“Shell be all right，because she is blessed”I heard angels singing in this city.

BUnder new system, dentists must spend longer assessing each patient.According to a bill to reduce waiting time, patients can see therapists, who have studied for three years, instead of dentists, who have studied for five.Dentists will concentrate on more complex procedures. Dental therapists should stand in routinely for dentists and start drilling and filling patients teeth to tackle growing NHS waiting lists, the Governments tooth department has said.Patients are waiting weeks longer for an appointment at many surgeries piloting a new NHS system of check-ups, which will be rolled out across the country within two years.The new check-ups require dentists to spend longer assessing each patient, and now Barry Cockcroft, the chief dental officer, has recommended that, to avoid delays, junior staff should take up some tasks traditionally carried out by dentists.This could see therapists, who study for three years, compared with five years for dentists - drilling and filling adults teeth, and extracting childrens milk teeth. Dental nurses should also play a bigger role, doing procedures such as fluoride varnishes, he said. Speaking to The Mail on Sunday at the British Dental Conference in Manchester, Dr. Cockcroft said: “A dentist is very highly trained and can carry out complex work such as crowns and bridges. Therapists can do extractions and fillings.”Health Minister Earl Howe said patients needed to accept that dentists would do less work on their teeth in the future, and that nurses, hygienists and therapists would do more. He said: “Sometimes in GP practices you see a nurse and sometimes a GP. People will be used to that.”The pilot of the new dental system involves a traffic-light rating where patients are given a “green”, “amber” or “red” notice on the condition of their teeth and gums. Patients flagged as “red” can be refused advanced treatment until they have improved their oral health - by cleaning their teeth more and cutting down on sugary foods. Dentists largely welcome the scheme, which has been running for two-and-a-half years, because it focuses on preventing problems as well as treating them.55. Whats the aim of the new scheme? A. To reduce patients waiting time. B. To let nurses do more work. C. To ease the governments pressure D. To help therapists get a higher pay.56. According to Barry Cockcroft, _. A. there wont be delays when one goes to a dentists B. dentists work will be more boring than ever C. junior staff can help with some assessing work D. a dentist will fill and drill adults teeth57. If you are flagged as “red”, you _ to improve your oral health. A. will stay in hospital for some time B. will receive advanced treatment C. neednt pay any attention to it D. have to clean your teeth more often58. Whats the best title of the passage? A. No need to study that long at college. B. Dentists work is more important. C. Patients are suffering tooth problems. D. Dentists are to examine a patient longer. CAustralian Prime Minister Tony Abbott says authorities are “throwing everything we have” at the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.He was speaking as weather conditions in the southern Indian Ocean improved, allowing the search to resume.The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) says 12 aircraft are taking part in Wednesdays operations. The plane vanished on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.“We owe it to the families, and we owe it to an anxious world to do everything we can to finally locate some wreckage and to do whatever we can to solve the riddle of this extraordinarily ill-fated flight,” Mr. Abbott said.

An ocean report DIn a time of global climate change and rapidly disappearing habitat critical to the survival of countless endangered species, there is an increased sense of urgency to confirm the return of animals thought to be extinct, or to confirm the presence of newly discovered species. Field biologists traditionally collect specimens to distinguish the animals - or to confirm that they do indeed exist in the wild. Researchers at Arizona State University and Plymouth University in the United Kingdom want to change the way biologists think about the “gold standar
