Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. Thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.Before I continue, let me explain something that I didnt have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. Im bad at aiming too. So you can understand why Id be nervous at what Im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request.However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, threw it as hard as I could.It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, then picked up the ball again. If you remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, Oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.This is the point where I start to take issue(辩论) with you. Wouldnt it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.Seeing that you werent going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me.“Throw it granny-style!” one of you said.“Just back up a little and give it all youve got!” another offered.And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do it!”I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame.Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly.It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me.I surprised myself - and Im sure you as well - by letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so Id be put out of my misery.Alas, the heart attack didnt happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?”Unfortunately for you, I wasnt really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period was just enough blow for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come to get the damn ball.”And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports.Sincerely, Jen Cordery35.

Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.The argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is still mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. Throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. But some are more dangerous than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100, 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the murder rate has risen to10.4 murders for each 100, 000 population. The sharp climb in the states murder rate, which began when killings stopped, does not happen by chance. It certainly shows that the death penalty does deter(威慑) many murderers. If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered - some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected.39. The main purpose of this passage is to _. A. speak for the majority B. support a veto C. speak ill of the government D. argue for the value of the death penalty40. Which of the following is among the heated arguments across the USA besides death penalty? A. Air pollution. B. The war against Iraq. C. Equal rights. D. Election of president.41. The numbers in the last paragraph show that _. A. if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reduced B. death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963 C. the population of California has risen D. death penalty is of little value42. It can be inferred that the writer thinks that _. A. the death penalty is the most important problem in the United States today B. the second type of murderers (in Paragraph 4) should be sentenced to death C. the veto of the law about death penalty is of little importance D. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be discussed. DKelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price.A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.Fortunately, theres a solution.The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you cant conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? Thats another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phones location.He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The companys description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or d
