Health Effects of Climate Change

July the 29th is World Health Day. The objective chosen for this year is to get people involved in the campaign to protect against the health effects of climate change. There is already evidence of health problems related to climate change. More people are dying form extreme heat, and diseases spread by insects are also on the rise. Climate change has increased the risk of natural disasters, especially severe dry weather, wildfires, major storms and floods. Disasters like these can kill directly or indirectly. People can die or get sick from food shortages or conditions like the spread of disease. Researchers in Canada predict that temperature increases there will spread insects farther north. These insects can carry disease. Climate change will lead to an increase in outbreaks of diseases that can be carried in water and food. Flooding, heavy rains and warmer temperature are linked to the spread of bacteria, viruses and other organisms.

Unidentified Flying Objects (1995) There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery. The Indian Medicine Man (1996) Among the Indians of North America, the medicine man was a very important person. He could cure illness and he could speak to the spirits. The spirits were the supernatural forces that controlled the world. The Indians believed that bad spirits made people ill. So when people were ill, the medicine man tried to help them by using magic. He spoke to the good spirits and asked for their help. Many people were cured, because they thought the spirits were helping them, but really these people cured themselves. Sometimes your own mind is the best doctor for you. The medicine men were often successful for another reason, too. They knew about plants that really can cure illness. A lot of medicines are made from the plants that were used by medicine men hundred of years ago. Legal Age for Marriage (1997)

Digital cameras According to a standard definition, a digital camera is a camera that produces digital images that can be stored in a computer, displayed on a screen and printed. Years ago, people used to possess two different devices in order to take pictures and make videos. The creation of digital cameras was motivated mainly by two factors. First, need to spare space. Second make it more comfortable for people to do both things with higher quality results. the multi-functionalism of digital cameras and combination of several devices in one make it a popular choice for a modern man. For years a digital camera has been unaffordable for many families. However, the variety of digital cameras and various prices nowadays make it possible for almost every single family to buy a digital camera. With increasingly fierce competition, the digital camera manufactures satisfy customers with lower prices but best quality standards. The migration of birds The most obvious feature of birds is that they can fly. This facility gives them great mobility and control over their movements. Many species can travel quickly and economically over long distances, up to thousands of kilometers, if necessary, crossing seas, deserts or other inhospitable areas. They also have great orientation and navigational skills and are able to remember and re-find remote places they have previously visited. Birds can thereby occupy widely separated areas at different seasons, returning repeatedly to the same localities from year to year. Although migration is evident in other animal groups, including insects, mammals and fish, in none is it as widely and well-developed as in birds. The collective travel routes of birds span almost the entire planet. As a result of migration, birds’ distributions are continually changing on regular seasonal patterns and on local, regional or global scales. Benefits of becoming a teacher Becoming a teacher gives you a chance to spend a major portion of your day with children or youngsters. With kids around, you are a part of their world of innocence and purity. It indeed creates a healthy work environment for you. On becoming a teacher, you get a chance to be with children, laughing with them, think their way and enjoy their innocent, silly and hopefully naughty behavior. Apart from this, the nature of your job is that you do not work on weekends and you get your share of holidays. Becoming a teacher entitles you for receiving private scholarships and sponsorships for teaching programs. However, one of the most important benefits of becoming a teacher is that teachers contribute to the shaping of the future generations. They make a difference to society by playing a vital role in nurturing young minds. British and American police officers Real policemen both in Britain and the U.S. hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they see on TV, if they ever get home in time. Some

Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs exist on earth. The most popular one is that they may contain visitor from other planets. To fly such an aircraft the builders must develop different forms of aviation, because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft. The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists from other planets who are studying life on earth. It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth and the space visitors may be living among us. But there are also less fantastic explanations available. Although some sightings of UFO are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily. In many cases the observers might have made a mistake. They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft. Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground reflected onto the clouds. However, the exact cause of many sightings still remains a mystery. 1996 The Indian Medicine Man Among the Indians of North America, the medicine-man was a very important person. He could cure illnesses and he could speak to the spirits. The spirits were the super-natural forces that controlled the world. The Indians believed that had spirits made people ill. So when people were ill. The medicine man tried to help them by using magic. He spoke to the good spirits and asked for their help. Many people were cured because they thought that these spirits were helping them. But, really, these people curded themselves. Sometimes, your mind is the best doctor for you. The medicine-men were often successful for other reason, too. They knew about plants that really can cure illnesses. A lot of modern medicines are made from plants that were used by medicine-men hundreds of years ago. 1997 Legal Age for Marriage Throughout the United States, the legal age for marriage shows some difference. The most common age without parents’ consent is 18 for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home state can get married in another state, and then return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and non-residents are qualified for such a license. The fees and ceremonies vary greatly from state to state. Most states, for instance, have a blood test requirement, but a few do not. Most states permit either a civil or religious ceremony, but a few require the ceremony to be religious. In most states a waiting period is required before the license is issued. This period is from one to five days depending on the state. A three-day-wait is the most common. In some states there is no required waiting period. 1998 The Railway in Britain The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities, led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times. Between 1835 and 1865 about 25000 kilometers of track were built, and over 100 railway companies were created. Railway travel transformed people’s lives. Trains were first designed to carry to goods. However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companies to run one cheap train a day which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail. Cheap day excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly. The railways also provided thousands of new jobs: building carriages, running the railways and repairing the tracks. Railways even changed the time. The need to run the railways on time meant that local time was abolished and clocks showed the same time all over the country.

诗经《小雅·鹿鸣之什·常棣》译文和注释赏析

诗经《小雅·鹿鸣之什·常棣》译文和注释赏析 常棣 常棣之华，鄂不韡韡。凡今之人，莫如兄弟。 死丧之威，兄弟孔怀。原隰裒矣，兄弟求矣。 脊令在原，兄弟急难。每有良朋，况也永叹。 兄弟阋于墙，外御其务。每有良朋，烝也无戎。 丧乱既平，既安且宁。虽有兄弟，不如友生？ 傧尔笾豆，饮酒之饫。兄弟既具，和乐且孺。 妻子好合，如鼓瑟琴。兄弟既翕，和乐且湛。 宜尔室家，乐尔妻帑。是究是图，亶其然乎？ 译文 棠梨树上花朵朵， 花草灼灼放光华。 试看如今世上人， 无人相亲如兄弟。 死丧到来ZUI可怕， 只有兄弟ZUI关心。 原野堆土埋枯骨， 兄弟坟前寻求苦。 鹊鸿飞落原野上，

兄弟相救急难中。虽有亲朋和好友，只会使人长感叹。兄弟在家要争吵，遇上外侮共抵抗。虽有亲朋和好友，不会前来相协助。死丧祸乱平息后，日子安乐又宁静。虽有亲兄和亲弟，相亲反不如朋友。摆好碗盏和杯盘，宴饮酒足饭吃饱。兄弟亲人全团聚，融洽和乐相亲近。妻子儿女和睦处，就像琴瑟声和谐。兄弟亲人相团聚，欢快和睦长相守。你的家庭安排好，妻子儿女乐陶陶。

仔细考虑认真想， 道理还真是这样。 注释 ①常像：棠梨树。华：花。②鄂：同“萼”，花草。韡韡（wei）：花色鲜明的样子。不：岂不。③威：畏惧。④孔怀：十分想念。⑤裒（pou）：堆积。(6)脊令：水鸟名。(7)况：增加。永叹：长叹。(8)阋（xi）：争吵。阋于墙：在家里面争吵。（9）务：同“侮”，欺侮。（10）蒸：乃。戎：协助。（11）生：语气助词，没 有实义。（12）傧（bTn）：陈设，陈列。（13）饫（yu）：酒足饭饱。 (14)孺：亲近。(15)翕（xT）：聚和。（16）湛：长久。（17）孥（nu）：儿女。（18）究：思虑。图：谋划。（19）亶（dan）：诚然，确实。 赏析 如今我们可能已很难体验兄弟亲情了。这不但是因为独生子女渐多、从无这类实感，也不但是现代化的物质文明加深了人与人之间的 隔阂，而且也是因为即使从亲缘关系上说，兄弟之间的亲情，总是不 如妻子儿女那么直接而深刻。 这就产生了一个问题，即古人何以那么看重和强调兄弟亲情，其 中原因何在？恐怕我们已很难确切回答这个问题。观点的变化总会超 出我们的想象力的限度。 认真地想，肯定有血缘的因素。亲兄弟毕竟是同一血缘而出，犹 如结在一根藤上的瓜，开在一个植株上的花。这同夫妻关系不一样。 夫妻是不同血缘的两个人的结合，两个之间的感情是一回事（感情是 变化着的东今），血缘又是一回事。其次，大概同父系社会的观点相关。男性是社会生活中的主角，大至国家，小至家庭，都由男性主宰着。男性也是传宗接代的主角，比起女性要重要得多。兄弟既担任着 这双重主角的重任，自然要引起重视，要在观点中得到强调。作为对

Package Holidays (1993) Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination．Everything is laid on for you．There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves．You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people．This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling．Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short．There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before． The American Family (1994) The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse combinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
