20、 law (3)A study suggests that the United States needs to work on training and keeping scientists. Since 1980, the number of jobs that need science and engineering (S&E) knowledge has increased. And each year in the US, the number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by 5%. In the next 20 years, ma
21、ny talented people with S&E knowledge will retire, because more than half of them now are in their 40s or older and 30% of them are 55 or older. Therefore, to have enough talented people, universities need to train students in S&E. Yet fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&E. In other word

As it turned out, the experience I got at the
29、 hospital taught me the opposite: my future was not in vet medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.

32、n got to keep a healthy cat. I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but it was only seen on TV or in movies.
