10、 Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.

If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigerias president also has the su
11、nniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.VIETNAMAs agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has dropped. Whats Vietnams trick? Its ready to work. Other countries laborers arent as cheap as they used to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need
12、 new factories abroad. However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War. So whats the use of producing export-ready goods if theres no convenient way to ship them? The good thing is tha

16、t this morning to meet a friend. Everything was lovely. But what wasnt so lovely was the lady who took our order. She spoke in a way that was frustrated, unhappy, certainly not friendly, and sort of rude.When it came to my turn to approach her and order. I thought to myself, “What can I do here to m
17、ake her day?” Surely there must be something I can sincerely compliment（称赞）her on. Then there it was and I knew instantly. Or more so heard instantly. It was her voice. She had the most unbelievably well-spoken and clear voice. It was so good. That was it. That was what I would compliment her on.So
18、after she took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude I told her. “I hope you dont mind me saying but you have the most amazing voice. Its so clear, well-spoken and sounds so professional.” I told her how she honestly had one of those voices that would be perfect for announcements or even
19、 radio. Her whole face lit up. She smiled (the first time I had seen her do so) and as I left and walked away, I noticed her whole attitude change. The customer behind me received a totally different kind of service. A happier one. All because of what I did. Something so simple!There was a time when
20、 this sort of thing would have embarrassed the hell out of me. Or Id have been way too shy and awkward to say such a thing. Not now. Now I must! Why? Because I have the power. The power to completely change someones day by something as simple as a few kind words and being kind. And you have this pow

The Power of KindnessCOrganic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with
24、 organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products arent necessarily more nutritious, and theyre no less likely
25、 to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier, says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. So con
26、sumers shouldnt assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 22
27、3 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither orga
28、nic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained high
29、er levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer ch
30、emicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesnt always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste. Fresh food is at
31、 least as good as anything marketed as organic.28. Thenewresearchquestionswhetherorganicfood_.

35、 other high security facilities(设备), the immediate effects are obvious.The technology could help put an end to false ID cards, because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip.
