29、that life could not be any more perfect. My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together.

30、ay. Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love.

31、shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend. Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartme

32、nt that does not allow pets. Youve made the right decision for your family, but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said: “I know you

33、will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And“How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind. Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to t

34、he front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream. My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever.

37、esent or Future? Americans are future-minded. They really live in the future. The present is just a way station. This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries.

38、Zen followers, time is like a pool of water. Things just happen. There is no past, present or future. Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness. I did not grow up with a telephone. So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U.S. I still had the habit of

39、going to a store only to find out that it didnt have what I needed. My wife used to ask, Didnt you call before going there? The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind, while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture. One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom vi

40、sits is her cooking. So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals. She is always sure that she has everything. The truth is that many times, in the middle of cooking, she will ask for items we dont have. That shows a present mind. You deal with it

41、 when you get there instead of doing advanced planning. Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a futuremind. Normally, when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas, I figure that it will rain today. Here people are trained from th

42、eir childhood to figure out at least that days expected weather before leaving the house. I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds. Here my presentmind gets me wet every time. Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degr

C C A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant（移植）. Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her lif

47、e. Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words: Good morning, I want to go home. It is thefirst time a voice box and windpipe have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted. Ms. Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own sinc

48、e her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999. Since then, she has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box. In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis Medical Centreremoved

49、 the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms. Jensens throat and the teamconnected it to her blood supply and nerves(神经). Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, who was part of the surgery team, said: Weve learned

50、 that wecan repair nerves to make even very complex organs function again. Itll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important astissue engineering develops. A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not life saving. Everyone who receives a transplant must

51、take drugs to control the immune system (免疫系统) for the rest of their lives. These drugs can reduce life expectancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. One of the reasons Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling dr

57、when I was a photo editor at U.S. News. Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into them, who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana, and us, the serious newspeople. But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whet

58、her the two worlds were easily distinguishable. Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photographers to cover other peoples difficult life situations. I justified marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of the readers right to know. I worked with professionals talking th

59、eir way into situations or shooting from behind police lines. And I wasnt alone. In any American town, after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries.
