34、 bus driver, Stephen St. Bernard, 52，heard screaming and saw seven-year-old Keyla McCree standing on top of an air-conditioning unit outside the window of her third-floor apartment. He rushed over in time to catch the child as she fell the 25 feet. The force of the lifesaving catch tore a tendon (腱）
35、in St. Bernards shoulder; the girl suffered only minor injuries.When a gunman opened fire on the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, in Oak Creek, 65-year-old Satwant Singh Kalela saved lives while sacrificing his own by fighting the murderer with a butter knife. Around the same time, Lt Brian Murphy urged fe

41、uraging students who want to leave school and work as apprentices (学徒）in beauty salons (美容中心）or hair dressers.Inspectors questioned 105 young people for a report on apprenticeships published on Wednesday. They found several examples of young people who felt they had been laughed at by their teachers
42、 for wanting to progress to work-based learning, particularly in care or hairdressing, rather than stay on at school.Right or wrong, is it any surprise that this is happening? From 2014，the government will measure schools according to the rate of their pupils who go to university. Brian Lightman , g
43、eneral secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, says the government has already put teachers under “very great pressure to focus on academic subjects”.On the other hand, the Education Act 2011，which came into force in November, places schools under a duty to give fair career advic
44、e to pupils. This advice must include information on all post-16 education and training choices, including apprenticeships. This doesnt appear to be happening in several schools, according to Ofsted9S report. Many of the young people the inspectors talked to said the advice they had received on appr

We suddenly cant remember where we put the keys just moments ago. As the brain fades, we mildly refer to these occurren
50、ces as “senior moments”. While seemingly no big deal, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental influence on our professional, social, and personal happiness.Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家）are increasingly showing theres actually a lot that can be done. The brain needs exercise in much
51、the same way our muscles do, and the right mental exercise can greatly improve our basic cognitive (认知）functions. Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program” 一 Lumosity. It is far more than an online place to exercise your m

The program records your progress and provides detailed feedback (反馈）on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantl

The company says, according to the clinical trials, its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory for names, numbers, directions, etc and better concentration at work.
