27、 just after eight o clock, his three little “ good kids ”Mike, Randy, and Alex came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “ breakfast, daddy. ” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex s head as if it were a drum.

30、ntrol. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.

But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately： the air you breathe. Previous studies h
35、ave linked high exposure（暴露） to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke（中风） within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed t
36、o high levels of 8 pollutants（污染物） were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency（ EPA） considers to be of “ moderate ”（良好） quality and r

It is true you can t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “ cover ” themseleves in order to convey(传递 ) certain mssages. What we we
43、ar, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themseleves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Others may s
44、ay how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for busiesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.
