I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesnt wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, includi
12、ng washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise!

18、s, according to a study. Job stress has been known to cause heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular disease (心血管病). Finnish scientists have now shown that even in healthy people the pressures of work can take their toll. High blood pressure, lack of exercise, smoking and being overw

But Mika Kivimaki, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and his colleagues, who studied the medical histories of 812 healthy Finnish men and women in a metal industry company over 25 years, said job stres

26、s that job stress threatens our health nowadays. CThe United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008, mainly because of higher food prices.

28、 millions in developing countries,” he says, “getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.”The FAO says food shortage is a threat to peoples health. Today, two-thirds of the worlds undernourished people live in just a few countries. These are India, the Democr

These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals. The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana.The FAO says some countr

Who would have prophesied that the cutting down
38、 of forests on the Adriatic coasts, or in parts of Central Africa, could have reduced the land to a semi desert, with the very soil washed away from the bare rock?
