The following are three of them.University of Oxford, EnglandFounded in: 1096The foundation year of this university is around 1096. There is evidence of teaching being undertaken then.

I had just raised the curtains in our living room, and was struck by the views of Central Park, bathed in the morning light. The Park is always wonderful-its one of the reasons why Phil and I chose this apartment when we were looking for a place to live when we moved to the new city. But on this particular day the park was especially breathtaking, her deep green leaves gently waving as if to say good morning to me.“I am so grateful for this amazing view,” I said to Phil, who as sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. “It really is a gift, you know?” And that got me thinking about how important it is to be grateful for the things we have in our lives, and not cry out for what we dont have. I am thankful for so many everyday gifts that are finely woven into my life like my loving life partner, good friends, inspiring work, a close, caring family, smart colleagues, good health and lots of laughter. And, yes, a great view of Central Park. Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote, “Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.”-and I truly believe that. When we live life too fast to stop and acknowledge our daily gifts; when we let those moments slip by without embracing them in true thankfulness, were missing out on how blessed we are. Some may wonder why Im writing this nearly two months after Thanksgiving, but maybe thats the point: why designate just one day a year to express our gratitude when there is really so much to be thankful for every day?24.

We should express as much gratitude to the people and things as possible27. The underlined phrase “cry out for” probably means _.A. want badly B. prepare passionately C. seek earnestly D. expect enthusiasticallyC.Researchers are using the polio virus (脊髓灰质炎病毒) to fight cancer cells in the brain.A team at Duke University is using a polio virus to infect tumor cells. It triggers an immune response that lasts for several months. The tumor goes away permanently.Dr. Matthias Gromeier began clinical trials more than three years ago. So far, 12 of 20 patients with a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma have responded well to the treatment. Gromeier said these patients had no chance of survival before the treatment. He added, “If you look at them today, you would not know they were cancer patients.”This may seem like a miracle cure. But Gromeier pointed out that the approach has limits. It causes a toxic (有毒的) reaction that can cause brain swelling. This causes other side effects like muscle weakness and paralysis, seizures (突然发作), limb swelling and tingling (刺痛), speech impairment (损伤) and headaches.Still, Gromeier said, “I am optimistic that we have identified the right dose and to use our virus right way to get an immune response strong enough to fight the tumor, but not so strong to harm the patient.” He called immunotherapy “the most exciting and most promising development in cancer research.” He said it would one day transform the way tumors are treated.Glioblastomas, the most common and deadly of all brain cancers, affect an estimated 240,000 people around the world per year. 28.

But according to these celebrities, true happiness lies in some of lifes simpler pleasures. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage all claim that their families are the key to their well-being. But others gave unexpected brief ideas about their celebrity (名人) lives. The Dutchess of York Sarah Fertguson, 55, revealed that what most keeps her spirits high was a belief in magic and fairies. She said, “I do believe in fairies. I do believe magic and when you blow a dandelion (蒲公英) , you will see the light of the enchanted (施过魔法的) spreading their wings and disappearing on their own journeys, just like you have today when you opened your eyes. Dont let the day go by without looking for fairies and magic. That makes me happy, as every day is.”Meanwhile, former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney revealed that he got his pleasure through his stomach as well as his family. He said, “I love to hear the noises in the kitchen as the meal is prepared and then my little grandson climbs on my knee and requests a bite for every bite I take.”Food was also key to Strictly Come Dancing舞动奇迹judge Len Goodman, who said eating a bacon sandwich was enough to put a smile on his face, while rocker (摇滚歌手) Rod Stewart, claimed that a simple cup of tea made him uncontrollably happy. For our most gifted sports stars, however, it seems that the key to the good life is a faithful dog. Tennis champion Andy Murray said he badly missed Rusty and Maggie May when he was playing in tournaments around the world. Former England striker Gary Lineker agreed, saying, “Walking my dog makes me happy.” The joy at the word “walkies” never decreases. Such enthusiasm for something so simple is satisfying. 32.

Ensure the site is easy to use, designed well and looks professional. An amateurs site will often look cluttered(凌乱的). 36 You can stop the deal anytime before pressing the Pay and / or Confirm button that sends your order off to the Business. Look for Contact DetailsYou may think all online shops will have their contact details on their website. You might be surprised to find that some do not provide their details, no email address and no phone number. Reputable (信誉良好的) online shops will always provide concise (简明的) contact information, which includes a physical address and a phone number. 37 Do not buy online if you are unsure that the shop is real. Consider all costs before purchasing 38 When you calculate the cost of a product, make sure that you take into account of the delivery charge and the VAT - these are often not included in the overall price. Also make sure what youre buying is not subject(受制) to any import restrictions. 39 Most reputable online shops offer strong guarantees and stand behind their products. Check the Returns Policy before you proceed to the checkout. Online shopping surpasses the physical shops in convenience. But there is a disadvantage of being unable to physically touch the products. so the greater the refund policy period the better. If there is no refund policy, the best advice is to stay away.
