When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescued each of us from a life of poverty and loneliness. They were hardly able to restrain themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources they certainly would have.Most people do not realize how much they appreciated someone until they pass away. My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered the words Thank you to our parents.Although we have all grown up and scattered about the country, we got back together to thank our parents. My brother Tom undertook the task of organizing the event. Every Friday night, Mom and Dad have had the ham dinner special at the same restaurant for the last twenty years. That is where we waited without their knowing. When we first caught a glimpse of them coming across the street, we all hid underneath a big table. When they entered, we leapt out and shouted, Thank you, Mom and Dad. My brother Tom presented them with a card and we all hugged. My Dad pretended that he had known we were under the table all along.Women who exercise regularly need to be careful with what they eat. Researchers have found evidence that even moderate exercise can result in losing iron. They said that women who exercise regularly, especially in endurance activities, typically lose iron. In order to prevent this from becoming a problem, it is important that those women consume more meat or take supplements to replace the iron lost. Those who do not bother to get plentiful amounts of iron may begin to feel weak and tired. If you can get the recommended daily allowance of iron in your diet, you will probably perform better, said one diet specialist. One shortcoming of taking iron pills is that the pill form is not well absorbed and can sometimes make you sick. It is preferable that you try to remedy the deficiency by getting more iron-rich meats in your diet.There are ways to help your body store away the iron it takes in. By getting plenty of Vitamin C, your body is able to process , or use, the iron better. Researchers acknowledge that everyones body is different and the problem will be less serious for some. Because it is impossible to decide whether or not this could be a problem for you, health specialists say it is advisable to check your iron levels. Even when you cant feel it, you may still have a problemWhile many private schools are focusing more on values, public schools are moving toward testing standards. The national government demands academic success and tests are taken as a key measurement for a schools performance. Schools with low test scores face penalties such as a reduction in money to run their schools. And, even individual teachers are being graded on how theyre preparing their students for these tests. We have concentrated too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests, commented one elementary school teacher. We should be providing a more comprehensive curriculum to these kids. We should be cultivating leadership and curiosity. Unfortunately, there is never time. One school principal remarked, Its true that it would be beneficial to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that in poorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less equipped to perform well. We have many obstacles to overcome before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not alike, so they shouldnt be tested that way. The goal is to improve performance in schools that are not providing their students with tools for success, said one government official. He admits, however, that he is having a hard time convincing faculty and teachers this plan will work.For many, beauty and fashion are permanently linked. With regard to fashion, the Barbie doll has been consistently in style. From the first Barbie dolls, Mattel took care to dress them in detailed, fashionable clothes. Some observers note that the fashions of the Barbie doll trace fashion trends perfectly since 1959. While critics complain that the models do not represent average female bodies, they also complain about the Barbie dolls size. Some have criticized the dimensions of the Barbie doll as an unattainable ideal of the female shape. Charlotte Johnson, the Barbie dolls first dress designer, explained that the doll was not intended to reflect a female figure realistically, but rather to portray a(n) exaggerated shape underneath fashionable clothes. However, the unrealistic dimensions of the doll have brought the strongest criticism regarding the dolls encouragement of an obsession with weight and looks. Convinced of the negative effects of the Barbie doll on children, Cathy Meredig of High Self Esteem Toys developed a more realistically proportioned doll in 1991. Her doll did not sell well, however. Throughout the years, the Barbie doll has had several competitors, but none have been able to compete with the glamour offered by the Barbie doll.Do you know February 2nd is Groundhogs Day (土拨鼠日)? Legend has it that on this morning, if a groundhog can see its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way. Some believe that the means of forecast is rather arbitrary and is often incorrect. Others argue that it is significant because it recognizes that the different parts of nature are connected in some way. Each part is dependent on the rest of the parts for a healthy system. Some farmers pay close attention to the behavior of ducks and geese when predicting the weather. It is sensible to guess an early winter is coming when you see ducks and geese moving south in October. Many dog owners can tell when winter or spring will come by stroking their pet. In preparation for winter, a dogs hair becomes thicker. Dogs lose hair as spring sets in. Information gathered from nature can help people to take precautions against a hard winter or bad storm. Some animals are even believed to be able to detect when an earthquake will occur. People holding this belief even go further to say that information gathered by computers is often detect and nature is far more accurate: Isnt it time we started paying attention to what is around us?Bill Gates is known around the world for the founding of Microsoft. And, most people are quite aware that his Bill Gates is known around the world for the founding of Microsoft. And, most people are quite aware that his evolution from computer hacker to the worlds richest man was due in large part to his partner Paul Allen. But, while Gates fame has mushroomedsince the beginning of Microsoft, Allen has remained less famous. Many around the world have followed the life of Gates, but are ignorant of what has happened to Allen. In fact, as most in the Northwest can tell you, Allen has made quite a(n) impact on the region and the world. In 2000, he retired from Microsoft, but the company retains him as a permanent advisor to top executives. Not all of Allens interests involve commercial success. Allen has given four hundred million dollars in charity to the University of Washington for science and technology research. He created the Experience Music Project in Seattle, employing famous architect Frank Gehry to design the building. This is not his only contribution to the arts. Allen is very involved with modernizing Hollywoods movie technology. His film studio is the most advanced in the world. He has also built a sports empire, buying both a basketball and a football team as well as helping to support a local stadium, and he owns a sports magazine. Oh, and lets not forget, Allen is the seventh richest man in the entire world. Not bad. You have probably heard of Dolly. She is the worlds first cloned sheep and quite famous. You would never know that she was such a famous animal just by looking at her, though. Shes about as unremarkable-looking as any sheep there ever was, commented one scientist who tends to the famous sheep. Now that Dolly has successfully been cloned, there are many scientists observing her every movement. Their hope is that they never detect anything remarkable with Dolly. One of the scientists humorously remarked, Its quite a(n) boring job always sitting around hoping nothing will actually happen. But thats what they have essentially done. They hope that any differences between Dolly and the sheep she was copied from are so minor that they go unnoticed. We dont want Dolly to live longer or jump higher. Some say that we are deliberately trying to create animals with remarkable qualities. This is not true. We simply are showing that we can make a(n) identical copy of the original safely and that the sheep is normal. Despite the protests of the scientists working on the project, the debate over whether cloning is safe goes on. The US congress organized a national commission to study the legal and moral implications of cloning. Many would like to abolish all research on cloning. And while everyone argues, the scientists are simply continuing to watch Dolly.My friend, Anna, said to me before I married Mike, Hes fine now, but wait until after youve married him. She thought that her own experience with marriage was applicable to mine. Without even being asked, she cited all of the problems shes had with her husband. The disputes ranged from him not sharing responsibility for household tasks to how often he went out at night. And every time, Anna complained, her husband would find justification for what he did. If I were you, she advised, Id get everything documented in writing. If there is something desirable about him now, make sure you get an agreement from him that he will continue it after you are married. I tried to dispose of her advice saying that I thought Mike and I could handle it without such an agreement. She just dismissed what I had to say with laughter. You cant believe him just because what he said. Once you marry him, hell think he owns you, and everything will change, she said. I tried to ignore her advice, but the next day I changed my mind and talked to Mike. Mike, I said, Im not going to marry you unless you promise to always stay the same.
