16、t was supper time, I walked back home. “How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.” “The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didnt sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!
17、”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no
18、 one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “youll become a good-for-nothing.” She insi
19、sted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow

A new study shows tha
24、t black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos. Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine publishe
25、d the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.Researchers say genetics(遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. There could
26、be differences in how peoples bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out
27、 that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer. Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racial
28、ly targeted(针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it a step toward the promise of personalized medicine. 61Which of the following orders is from higher to lower

33、lowly getting more acidic”say scientistsThe researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The lowering of the waterspH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it
34、continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water,
35、 it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century. These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change
36、This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing COZ into the atmosphere, said Dr Caldeira. And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超过）anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous eve
37、nts such as asteroid（小1j-%+._) impacts” However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean lifeMost organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to pH changesCoral reefs and other organisms whose
38、shells contain calcium carbonate（小行星) may be particularly affected if the waters acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH. In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power sta
39、tions in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warmingBut Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing一because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO
40、2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”66 The ocean is becoming more acidic due to A，the lower water pH value Bthe warming atmosphereC the higher level of COZ in the air Dthe increasing use of oil fuels67 According to Dr Caldeira, A ocean absorption of carbon dioxi

It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven.

49、always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it.
