1、Form the beginning “Lord Williams” clearly had a great amount of wealth. A few villagers were suspicious of him but most saw nothing that aroused doubts until later. All agree that he injected a great amount of money into the village. His money was used to restore many properties. Many people though
2、t him charming and considerate and did not suspect he was misleading them. Where did this money come from? He told everyone that he had inherited the money from a rich uncle. Certainly he was happy pouring village with a fantastic view which disappears over the horizon. He was satisfied to sink mone
3、y into this village with its rolling views. This was his glorious village.2. It is not infrequent for bodies of endurance athletes to be deficient in iron. In particular female athletes often have this problem. Even moderately low levels of exercise can also cause this problem. Associate Professor R
4、oseanne M.Lyle carried out a study on 62 formerly inactive females. Her work indicated that such women showed a decrease in iron levels. Some women bounced back with the consumption of additional meat or the supplementation of their diets with iron supplements. Iron deficiency affects many women. Th
5、e ratio of exercising women with this deficiency, however, is far higher. This is made worse by health-conscious women who often eat a restricted diet which is not iron rich enough. Women do not usually eat the recommended daily allowance of iron. Any additional exercise may have caused women to be
6、tipped over the edge causing serious iron deficiency.3. Hyde high school finder Joseph Gauld says its impossible to reform conventional education. He believes we should measure success by personal growth. To avoid controversy they dont teach morality or religion. The curriculum prepares students at
7、colleges. At the Hyde high school at Bath 97% of the graduates attend four-year colleges. Gauld believes that patents must be committed to the schools ideas. For the students to be admitted parents must agree to accept the schools philosophies and outlook. The parents must meet every month and among
8、st other things attend seminars at Bath. Parents of Maine students have an attendance of 95% in many sessions but in the public school of New Heaven only 30% of parents come to meetings. This is despite the fact that they, at the outset, agreed to go to meetings. One school teacher at Bath is optimi
9、stic that once parents commit to the program they will be daily role models for their children.4. Bartholdis monument celebrating US independence was a statue of a woman his mother did not approve of. But when assembling the statue in his artists mind, he only had his eyes on his wife. So, “my daugh
10、ter, Liberty” has his mothers face combined with his wifes body. The model for Barbie comes from an exaggerated version of an older doll sold in Germany. Its universally seen as the Queen of dolls. The famous faces in Grant Woods American Gothic of a famous farmer and the woman standing grave him, w
11、ith their stretched necks, derive from the painters dentist and sister. When American coins honor prominent figures of the US government-mostly famous former presidents, the Buffalo nickel was designed in memory of the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians. It was James Earle Fra
12、ser that went against tradition by using actual American Indians as models for is creation. Uncle Sam may have the name of a meat inspector with a reputation for honesty or because Sam Wilsons stamp was “EA-US”, it happens to stand for the initials of United States.5. The medical chart from the prec
13、eding shift was the first indication I got that Mrs. Clark would die. There was also a smell of decay in the room that hit me in the pit of my stomach. The patients skin hung loosely so a needle was secured to let the fluid drip in. She had a faint pulse and was thirsty, so I gave her a straw of a f
14、ew drops of moisture to slide into her mouth to ease her thirst. Having managed to swallow some liquid, she said ”Thank you.” She was so small and light that she looked like a victim of some terrible famine. I removed the lid of a jar of cream and put some on the palm of my hand. Then I rubbed the c
15、ream into her yellow skin to make her feel better.6. Since earthquakes may cause great destruction, we need to learn how to detect them quickly. Animals always give us warnings. For example, before an earthquake hens would not enter their cages; rats run out from their hiding places and march fearle
16、ssly through houses; even normally quiet dogs bark in chorus all over town. Pigeons are especially noisy and fly in unusual patterns. And most noticeable is a chemical change in ground water before a quake. To prevent destruction of property, the architects design columns and horizontal beams of equ
17、al strength. Besides the efforts to improve building structures, people also should prepare their houses for the possibility of a great earthquake. It is advisable to check and reinforce their homes regularly. And remember to place heavy objects in low positions, attach cupboards and cabinets to wal
18、ls, and so on. All these precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes.7. The Valentines Day is a big day not only for the lovers, but also for the rose growers. Rose remains the most popular flower because love never goes out of style. To the traditional f
19、lower shops in the U.S., however, because of the appearance of discount rose shops, selling roses is no longer a beautiful experience. The discount rose shops create the desire for roses by attractive store displays. As the customers circulate among the counters, they stare at these beautiful arrang
20、ements in amazement. Whats important, they offer the customers high-quality roses with low prices, which makes the customers look as if they made a good bargain. Even on Valentines Day, when the prices of roses and delivery are soaring high, such shops also manage to hold their prices down.8. Do we
21、need to draft ways to distinguish between science fact and fiction? Or do we need guidelines to sort out the legal and moral implications of cloning? Should we prohibit all human cloning in the world? Its all new to us. In the past we wondered at the Theory of Relativity. What about the splitting of
22、 particles we call atoms? And then, the marvels of the first space flight. The questions keep mounting up. There are many ideas to be sorted out. Among these two main parts or categories are: the transplanting of organs for children at the time of birth and the cloning of yourself. The type of genet
23、ic information produced comes from several areas. First, there are the egg cells. With this part, there is the center or nucleus of cells containing DNA, which is a ribbon-like molecule. It holds the knowledge that is needed in genetic research. This leads to the next level or step up in medical research.
