wasn t the moon he said I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on Thirty minutes earlier a man had driven off the edge of the road which has no guardrail His car fell and rolled end over end landing on its top more than two hundred feet below Duffy rushed to call for help then returned and got down to reach the injured driver Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing After struggling back up the cliff Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time along with the blankets from his car Life saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy the oldest of seven children When he was 12 he

United States or Australia They also want their children to take extra course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is the better it is So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter However what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap Parents can see that their children s skills vary skilled in some areas while poor in others What most parents fail to realize though is that today s children lack 缺乏 self respect and self confidence The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and how to study well but parents aren t teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident happy and clever Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking sewing and doing housework Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life Cooking demands patience and time It s an enjoyable but difficult experiment A good cook always tries to improve his cooking so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully His result a well cooked dinner will give him much 4 satisfaction and a lot of self confidence Some old machines such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious 好奇 and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them trying to fix them your child might become an engineer when he grows up These activities aren t merely teaching a child to read a book but rather to think to use his mind And

engineer must fix many broken radios D a good student should spend much time repairing radios 5 D Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories of loud music or other common sound at home and at work A person only needs to hear the noise for little more than one second to be affected An American scientist has found that using aspirin 阿斯匹林 increase the temporary 暂时的 hearing loss or damage from loud noise He did an experiment using a number of students at a university who all had normal hearing He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time then he tested their hearing ability He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin The hearing loss was about two times as great The scientist said millions of persons in the U S use much

traditional dislike and dieting Breakfast simply means break the fast Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state In the morning your body needs energy for the day s work ahead A good breakfast should provide 1 3 of your total calorie 卡路里 needs for the day On average we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner If breakfast doesn t appeal 吸引 to you in the morning try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning If you still aren t hungry in the morning start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious 有营养的 mid morning snack 小吃 later when you are hungry So you say you are on a diet Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day That is because your body is working correctly Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long in reality you are probably not Not eating breakfast can also cause you overeat since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later To make matters worse since your body is in a slow state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently 有效 If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals
