13、tor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart.

18、es youd better make sure you arent visiting during Ramadan(斋月). During that time you arent allowed to eat or drink in public.

19、sing your lover goodbye at train stations is rather old, and isnt in use today in France.In Thailand its against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is.

25、t people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual(视觉的) entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the influence of visual media cannot be ignored.One obvious influence of these media(媒体) is that watching them induces(诱导) people to buy certain produ
26、cts. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted（扭曲的） one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and
27、educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks.

34、ails money problems. It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Bridges, built a century ago, are falling down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The pr
