I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.

After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.

Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.

But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-

based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel

technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴

油机) by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the

technology can be applied to them.

When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words. When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.”

As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked at the ants curiously..

For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.

Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt I should encourage his enthusiasm for observation when he was a boy . That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.

13. The author wrote the passage to __________. A. recall the happy times he spent with his son B. tell us that children are full of curiosity C. tell us how to let children love nature

D. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent 14. The author showed David the ants to _______. A. prevent him from becoming bored

D. arouse his interest in creatures

This will help take the pressure off your lower back. Wearing cushioned shoes or standing on a think rubber mat can also help relieve pressure when you have to stand for long hours.

Start Exercise Gradually

18 But if you’ve been inactive for a while, start slowly. Begin with a low-impact exercise such as walking ,stationary biking, or swimming for about 30 minutes a day. Adding gentle stretching or yoga may also help your muscles.

If your job requires you to sit for long periods, make sure your chair has a straight back, an adjustable seat, and armrests. 19 If you need extra support, place a rolled towel behind the lower part of your back. Resting your feet on a low stool can also help ease back pain when sitting.

If you must sleep on your back, try using a pillow under your knees. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, as this can make back pain worse.

Last Saturday, I was waiting in line on the pavement for a bus for a job interview , when I saw a white-haired old man standing on the bend, with a little red flag in his hand. It is said that he is a retired accountant and suffers from cancer. It is 10 years since he began to volunteer to direct the traffic. Sometimes he helps those who have difficulty in walking to cross the road. But some passengers take him for granted. His efforts and intelligence really make great difference to our safety and happiness.
