forgetful owner after 55 years Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage 旧式的 car they were planning to restore After an Internet

Navy Jon Beck 61 and Chuck Merrill 72 bought the now vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration Driving the car home after buying it

wallet held a 10 bill Mr Goodlove s military ID his social security card his driver s licence and several jewellery receipts from 1952 But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam After searching

Price Paid for RomanceD Lost Wallet Found after 55 Years B Writing being largely a self taught occupation texts on how to get about it though great in number seldom are of much use You try and fail Then try again and perhaps fail not quite so grievously Until at last if you have some gift for it the failures become less frequent or at any rate less noticeable It is this ability to conceal one s defects 瑕疵 that passes finally for accomplishment Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism outright rejection nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts It is uncommon therefore to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing life A friend recently loaned me such a book however one I wish I d had the luck to read years ago and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope first published in 1883 the year after his death Needing some means to support himself Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service He was at his desk at 5 30 each morning to write for three hours And he remained in the mail service 33 years long after reputation and prosperity had come to him Now what of his advice 1 For safety s sake arm yourself with some other skills some other line of work to fall back on That way failure at writing though the disappointment may be keen will not mean utter ruin 2 Do not depend overly much on inspiration Writing is a craft which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair 3 Have a story to tell but more important than that people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader s mind Without memorable characters story alone is nothing 4 Meet your deadlines Life is endlessly painful and troublesome for writers who can t finish their work on time 5 Do not be inflated by praise And above all do not be crushed by criticism 6 Understand the risks of writing for a living The career when successful is pleasant enough certainly but when unsuccessful it is of all careers the most painful 60 This passage mainly discusses A the difficulties and risks of making a career of words B the uselessness of instructions in writing manuals C the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony Trollope D sound advice provided in a Trollope s autobiography 61 From the context we can figure out that the phrase pass for in Paragraph 3 means A focus onB be regarded as C be equal to D lie in 62 According to the author writing A is basically a self taught occupation and few instructions are of much practical use B is a trial and error process and it does not count whether you have the gift or not C for a living is the most pleasant of all careers full of praise and enjoyment D sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping poverty 63 From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably A an instructor of writingB a writer C an educatorD a publisher C Schools have been blamed for giving kids access to soda in vending machines 自动售货机 But new data suggest that school soft drink sales may not be an important factor in how much soda kids drink In the current issue of The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior researchers compared soda consumption among nearly 500 students in Maine who attended seven schools over two school years Four of the schools cut back on soft drink availability at the schools while three of the schools made no changes All the students were drinking less soda by the end of the study period but there were no meaningful differences in overall soft drink consumption among the different schools The data suggest that limiting soft drink availability at school doesn t result in meaningful changes in drink consumption patterns While there were no changes in overall soda consumption there was a notable shift in diet soda drinking among girls If the school cut back on soda availability girls were less likely to drink diet soda compared to girls in schools that made no changes The data are the latest to suggest that schools may not play as big of a role in kids poor eating habits as widely believed Last year The American Journal of Public Health published a provocative 引起争论的 study showing that childhood weight problems often get worse in the summer when kids are out of school Data from kindergarteners and first graders found that body mass index 指数 increased two to three times as fast in summer as during the regular school year Minority children were especially at risk as were children who were already overweight Even children who were too thin and needed to gain weight appeared to have better eating habits during the school year They actually gained more weight while in school and less in the summer Even so much of the focus on childhood nutrition and obesity 肥胖 remains in the nation s schools Today The Times reported that even the school bake sale is disappearing as districts impose strict standards on the food served on school grounds 64 What can be learned from The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior A Soft drink remains a problem in schools B Girls tend to consume less soda at school C Soft drinks may not be to blame for eating problems D Vending machines are not available in all schools 65 Better eating habits may be best developed A during summer B on schooldays C with less soda availability D in attempts for weight gain 66 The writer voices his opinion by A conducting scientific researchB comparing two journals C criticizing wrong
