Police have launched a public appeal to get the rare instrument back, and the musicians insurer has offered a high reward for information leading to its recovery.

He had married and fathered a child when he was only 18, but the relationship fell apart and his wife left him with their infant son.

In the study, researchers at Michigan State University followed 289 pairs of male twins from age 17 to 29. Among identical twins in which one was married and one wasnt, the married twin demonstrated a lower level of antisocial behavior after the union than the unmarried twin. Given that identical twins have the same genes and grow up in the same environment as children, it is expected that they should have similar antisocial tendencies. The discrepancy between the twins therefore indicates that marriage helps weed out bad behavior.美国一项研究显示，男人一般在结婚以后行为会变得更好，一方面是因为婚姻可能会帮助改善他们的行为，另一方面大概因为，好男人本来就更可能步入婚姻殿堂。密歇根州立大学的研究人员跟踪调查了289对双胞胎男性，从他们17岁起一直跟踪到29岁。在同卵双胞胎中一人已婚一人未婚的情况下，已婚的人在婚后做出的反社会行为比未婚的人少。鉴于同卵双胞胎一般有类似的基因与童年成长环境，他们的反社会倾向也应趋同，因此，对比结果显示，婚姻确实能够帮助男人改掉一些坏毛病。discrepancyn.相差，差异weed out清除，淘汰【词汇家族】你知道美国人常举行的party都有什么名目吗?来学一下，说不定对你的新年party有启示呢。 birthday party生日会bachelor/bachelorette party单身汉/单身女郎聚会(为准新郎和准新娘准备，一般参加的都是单身朋友)housewarming party乔迁聚会(一般是搬了新家后举行的聚会)baby shower婴儿洗礼farewell party欢送会holiday party节日聚会theme party主题聚会surprise party惊喜聚会【习语典故】Hiberdating-原本经常联络的几个朋友，忽然有一个好久都没消息了。一打听，原来是忙着谈恋爱呢。这种情况通常会被朋友们称作重色轻友或者有异性没人性。英文里对这个情况的称呼更加形象生动，就一个词：hiberdating。Hiberdating指在冬季约会恋爱，或者指某人在谈恋爱期间忽略其他朋友的情况。第二种用法更普遍一些。Hiberdating这个词是hibernating(冬眠)和dating(约会)两个词的合成词，由此便可知它的意思是一个人在约会恋爱期间中断与朋友联络的状况。请看例句：I havent seen or heard from Jennifer since she started hiberdating Teddy 4 months ago.自从4个月前詹妮弗跟泰德约会以来，我就一直没有过她的消息。【考试达人】1.We have every reason to believe that _ 2012 London Olympic Games will be _ big success.A./; aB.the; /C.the; a2._ walk is expected to last all day, so bring _ packed lunch.A.A; aB.The; /C.The; a3.I _ in London for many years, but Ive never regretted my final decision to move back to China.A.livedB.was livingC.have lived请于今晚24点之前，通过短信发送正确答案字母到106580007835(免信息费)，格式如1A2B3C。幸运答对者将获赠10元话费。本期答案见下期。【上期答案】1.How about _ Christmas evening party?
