If you were going to _36_ me I almost never lost it _37_; of course I felt hurt, but I didnt show it.Then, one day, I met my husband and I fell _38_ in love with him, a proud Italian who loudly discusses things _39_ with himself when hes not happy. Things got worse for me when we started _40_ on things. He seemed really angry and loud, while I seemed detached and polite. Truth is that I was _41_ too. Fight after fight, he always acted as if nothing had happened a few minutes after each quarrel, while my moments of _42_ discontent started to _43_ more and more in time until they became hours, sometimes even days.I felt this had to change and the conversation went _44_ like this:Me: “Either you change your _45_ when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion, and this will _46_ our relationship.”Him: “Did you _47_the Mpemba Effect?

Baby, you got to boil first, to cool down faster. Thats why the Italians live _51_ than Canadians.”The connection he suggested is to be _52_, but I have learned a fact I didnt know, one that has _53_ me to understand that if Im angry about something or someone, for that anger to disappear, it has to be towards the _54_ or otherwise it is like hiding the dust under the _55_: your house might look clean, but it is not. 36.

Six years ago, she participated in the clinical trial for HIV which was running in her health district. When I first met Celine, a little over a year ago, she had gone for 18 months without any antiretroviral(抗后病毒的) treatment, and she was very ill. She told me that she stopped coming to the clinic when the trial ended because she had no money for the bus fare and was too ill to walk the 35-kilometer distance. During the clinical trial, shed been given all her antiretroviral drugs, and her transportation costs had been covered by the research funds. All of these ended once the trial was completed, leaving Celine with no choices. She was unable to tell me the names of the drugs shed received during the trial, or even what the trial had been about. Yet what puzzled me most was Celine had given her informed consent(同意) to be a part of this trial, yet she clearly did not understandthe implications of being a participantor what would happen to her once the trial had been completed.61.

DThe domestic cat is a contradiction.No other animal has developed such a close relationship with human, while at the same time demanding and getting such self-determining movement and action.The cat manages to remain a tame(驯化的) animal because of the process of its upbringing. By living both with other cats (its mother and brother and sisters) and with human (the family that has adopted it) during its babyhood, it is considered to belong to both species. It is like a child that grows up in a foreign country and as a consequence becomes bilingual(双语的). The young cat becomes bimental. It may be a cat physically but mentally it is both feline(猫科的) and human.Once it is fully adult, however, most of its responses are feline ones, and it has only one major reaction to its human owners.

So he ordered that wise men of Babylon be called to interpret the dream for him. They answered the king, “O king, live forever, tell to your servants your dream, and we will declare the interpretation.” The king said, “The thing is gone out of my mind. Unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall be put to death. But if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour.”Unluckily no one could fulfill the task. Hearing this, the king was in great anger, and commanded all the wise men of Babylon be put to death. When Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, told the matter to the Prophet(先知) Daniel, he immediately went in to the king and begged for the time to resolve the question. After some mysterious praying, Daniel went to Arioch and said, “Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.” The king said to Daniel, “Can you really tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation of it?” Daniel replied, “The secret that the king desires to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, can declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven that reveals mysteries, and He wants you to know what is going to happen”. “To me also,” Daniel added, “this secret is revealed, so I can reveal your dream.” Then Daniel began, “You, O king, saw a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, stood before you, and the look was terrible. The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass(黄铜): And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay. Then suddenly you saw a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the statue upon the feet that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and they were carried away by the wind. There was no place found for them, but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” “This is the dream. We will also tell the interpretation to you.” He continued, “You are a king of kings, and the God of heaven has given you a kingdom. But as you dreamt, the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and
