26、from since the early morning accident.Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates on the rescuers progress.The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families werent informed of the accident until about 10 a.m-more than three hours after

27、it happened. “Its very upsetting, but youve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mines entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal

28、 Group.At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 t

29、o 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. “We dont wa

30、nt to be energizing anything if its in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said.The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide were detected(发现) shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided（减退）, authorities

33、e trapped?BYears ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers said, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. ” How right they were!“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that he

34、lps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you cant!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist (遗传学家) who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she di

35、dnt let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist（大提琴家）Pablo Casals would st

36、art his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old. ”Enthusiastic people also love what they do, reg

37、ardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm.

38、love as a full time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her sadness that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius. ”We cant

39、 afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”.

46、station clerk quoted 44.50 fare, ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just 20.Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended.

53、elpline offer reliable information DIs the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?The photograph on the right was changed using a new beauty making computer program, which uses a mathematical formula(公式) involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged.
