Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, 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 to high levels of 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 A gency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.1.The text mainly discusses the relationship between . A．heart problems and air quality B．heart problems and exercising C．heart problems and smoking D．heart problems and fatty food2.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means. A．relativelyhigh B．extremely lowC．relativelylow D．extremely high3. What can we learn from the text?A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.4.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us, " Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, “ Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder. "Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish, " says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books li ke Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of."The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, “ says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."1.

Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat．Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier．Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment．The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England．Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C（73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied．Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．"This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account．"The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．"1. The findings of the research can be described as ___．A．horrible B．surprising C．funny D．encouraging 2.According to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______.A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI level C．save money D．avoid eating more3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Obesity links to poorly-heated homesB．Well-heated home's contribute to obesityC．Obesity--- A weighty problem in EnglandD．Rising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight参考答案1—3、BCA【2014高考英语梅州市质检试卷】CThe ancient Egyptians appeared to be among the first early civilizations to learn how to grow roses. In 1888, at Hawara in the El Faiyum area of Egypt, two-thousand-year-old roses were found in ancient tombs. The discovery suggested roses were an important part of the complex burial ceremony which took place when an important person died. The roses found in the tombs are thought by modern experts to be the oldest preserved flowers ever found in the world. They must have been cut and dried before flowering so that they would remain undamaged. Over the centuries, the roses had shrunk and became tight balls, but on careful examination it was discovered that the petals (花瓣) themselves were hardly damaged.Egypt’s skill in mass-cultivation（大面积栽培）of roses in early times led to the flowers becoming an important export product. At the height of the Roman Empire, Egypt exported large quantities of roses to the Roman courts. Wealthy Romans loved the beautiful colors and sweet smells of roses. So the Romans attempted to grow their own roses and they eventually mastered the art of mass cultivation. Egypt then decided to concentrate on growing grain instead of roses, so grain soon took over as the number-one agricultural product of Egypt.Roses were appreciated in other early civilizations too, including Greece and Persia. They are a decorative feature on coins, sculpture, and vases dating back thousands of years. There is also evidence that roses were highly valued by the Chinese who believed that the flowers could be used to help treat a wide range of illnesses, from toothache to skin and chest diseases.In the modern world, the rose has not lost its popularity as the “Queen of Flowers” —the name given to it by the Greek poetess Sappho. Even today more roses are sold than any other flower. Modern techniques have enabled people to create ever more beautiful roses. Transportation by air makes it possible to grow roses in countries with favorable climates and sell them within twenty-four hours in profitable markets all over the world. Tons of roses are transported this way every week. Roses from Ecuador, a country in northern South America, can be bought in Holland, even though that country itself has a huge rose-growing business.36. The roses discovered at Hawara in 1888 were ______.A. buried about four thousand years agoB. cut after they floweredC. used to keep the dead body freshD. finely preserved37. Grain replaced roses to become the number-one agricultural product of Egypt because _____.A. the Egyptians showed less interest in rosesB. the competition in rose export became fierceC. the Romans could grow roses for themselvesD. grain was in great demand in the world market38. Paragraph 3 is developed mainly _____.A. by cause and effectB. by order in spaceC. by order in timeD. by examples39. With the example of roses from Ecuador, the author shows ______.A. modern techniques help the cultivation of rosesB. air transport helps the rose trade worldwideC. roses grown in Ecuador are world-famousD. roses are sold more than any other flower40. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Queen of flowersB. History of growing rosesC. Big archeological discoveryD. Rose trade around the world 【参考答案】36-40 D CDBA本文是说明文。

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes，fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment．Although some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本)，which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories，for example，is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater，and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home．Every home should have a good dictionary．A good encyclopedia(百科全书)，though expensive，is useful，too，because you can find information on any subject．Besides，you can have such books as history books，science textbooks，cookbooks，and collections of stories and poems．Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.1.

“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are eas y –they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.”–– Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across th e fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent pe r year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titl es was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I w anted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probabl y wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told m e I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage invento r. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to f ollow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a com pany selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “Tha t sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That l ogic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think a bout it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in tha t light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately (最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret tryi ng and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow m y passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the en d, we are our choices.1. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor.B. The support of his wife.C.

The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl’s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her. Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the indifference of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have boiled with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are recognized to be affecting society’s values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.1. What happened to the two-year-old girl?A. Nobody helped her after she was struck by two different vans.B. She died immediately after she was hit a second time.C. An old trash collector saved her and attracted her mother’s attention.D. Journalists from TVS captured her story by using a camera.2. From the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?A. The public would feel proud of him/ her and showed love and respect for him/ her.B. He/she would be awarded by the government.C. He/she would be condemned by the public.D. He/she would have to worry about legal responsibility.3 In recent year s, society’s values are believed to be affected by________.A. peop le’s a warenessB. the indifference of bystandersC. profit and materialismD. the morals of society4. Where is the article probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A fashion magazine.C. A science fiction.D. An education column.参考答案1—4、CACA【2014高考英语综合能力测试题】Canadian researchers said they had developed an antibody treatment, which may be able to prevent death from Ebola virus, even for those who have been infected for three days.The findings, published in the US journal Science Translational Medicine, suggested that it may be possible to develop a cure for Ebola, even after the virus is detected in the blood and disease symptoms have become apparent.Although rare, Ebola virus is considered as one of the most aggressive viruses because of its rapidity of death, which can be one week from exposure, or three to four days from the time the first symptoms become apparent. “For this reason, s uch a treatment has been considered to be closer to the field of science fiction than contemporary scientific research,” said lead author Qiu Xiangguo at the Public Health Agency of Canada.In their study, the researchers gave Ebola-infected monkeys a treatment made of three specific antibodies(抗体) in combination with interferon-alpha (a干扰素), which is produced naturally bythe body to fight viruses. Once in contact with outer regions of the virus, these antibodies can reduce the ability of the virus to reproduce. At the same time, the interferon-alpha increases the defense of the infected individual by stimulating a natural but rapid and powerful anti-viral response, she said.“Although we were very optimistic, we were not expecting to see 100 percent survival of Ebolainfected monkeys, when they are treated only three days before they die of the disease on average,” Qiu said. “This study shows that what seems impossible for many to develop a cure capable(有能力的) of stopping Ebola virus only a few days before death, has now been made and proven to be effective,” she added.41. Ebola virus is considered as one of the most dangerous viruses because _______.A. people get infected easilyB. it doesn’t show any symptomsC. it can kill a person in a weekD. few people do study about it42. According to Paragraph 4, the interferon-alpha can ______.A. enter into inner part of the virusB. kill the Ebola virus immediatelyC. stop the Ebola virus from reproducingD. help improve the defense of the infected43. What can be inferred from the text?A. The new antibodies can effectively destroy Ebola virus.B. The infected person usually dies if symptoms have become clear.C. Interferon-alpha is more useful than the three specific antibodies.D. Ebola virus mainly spreads through contact with infected monkeys.44. Which of the following is TRUE about the study?A. The researchers are sure that the Ebola-infected monkeys can survive.B. The new cure has been trialled on Ebolainfected humans.C. The Canadian researchers are now working in the US.D. The new cure has proved to be effective.45. What can be the best title for the text?A. A new treatment for Ebola virus.B. Ebola - the most dangerous virus.C. How Ebola virus does harm to animals.D. An experiment about new Ebola virus.【参考答案】41-45 CDBDA本文主要介绍了一批加拿大研究者正在研究一种新抗体，治疗埃博拉病毒感染者，即使在已被传染三天以上，症状明显的情况下，仍有希望治好，而不至于死亡。

FILTON, just outside Bristol, is where Britain’s fleet of Concorde supersonic（超音速的）airliners was built. There, something remarkable is being created. Little by little a machine is “printing” a complex titanium bracket (钛合金支架), about the size of a shoe, which normally would have to be cut from a solid block of metal. Brackets are only the beginning. The researchers at Filton have a much bigger ambition: to print the entire wing of an airliner.Unrealistic as this may seem, many other people are using 3D printing technology to create similarly remarkable things. These include medical implants, jewellery, football boots designed for individual feet, lampshades, racing-car parts, solid-state batteries and customized mobile phones. Some are even making mechanical devices (仪器). At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Peter Schmitt, a PhD student, has been printing something that is like the workings of a grandfather clock. It took him a few attempts to get right, but eventually he removed the plastic clock from a 3D printer, hung it on the wall and pulled down the counterweight. It started ticking. Engineers and designers have been using 3D printers for more than a decade, but mostly to make original types quickly and cheaply before they embark on the expensive business of tooling up a factory to produce the real thing. As 3D printers have become more able to work with a broader range of materials, including production-grade plastics and metals, the machines are increasingly being used to make final products too. More than 20% of the output of 3D printers is now final products rather than original types, according to Terry Wohlers, who runs a research firm specializing in the field. He predicts that this will rise to 50% by 2020.1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Filton is in the centre of Bristol.B. Peter tried to print a clock, but in vain.C. a remarkable metal bracket is being created.D. 3D printing technology is available to all of us.2. The underlined word “embark” probably means “_________”.A. workB. landC. dependD. fix3. We can conclude from the last paragraph that __________.A. Terry Wohlers’ s firm will make great profitsB. the technology of 3D printers will be widely adoptedC. 3D printers have been in use for at least 100 yearsD. engineers and designers prefer printing original products4. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _______.A. time and eventsB. definition and descriptionC. contrast and conclusionD. examples and statements【参考答案】1—4、 CABD社会文化（阅读理解）由 (2012浙江,C)改编Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever,even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started.Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country.In fact,according to an official report on youth violence,“In our country today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment,but the terrible reality of violence”.Given that this is the case,why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?First of all,students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable.A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱).For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each ughter over the sandwich can lead to insults,which in turn can lead to violence.The problem isn’t in the sandwich,but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable,they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决):stay calm.Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well.Rude words,name-calling,and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire.On the other hand,soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down,they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution:listening.Listening allows the two sides to understand each other.One person should describe his or her side,and the other person should listen withoutinterrupting.Afterward,the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position.Then the two people should change roles.Finally,students need to consider what they are hearing.This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the otherperson.It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish.For example,a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things.Students need to ask themselves questions such as these:How did this start?What do I really want?What am I afraid of?As the issue becomes clearer,the conflict often simply becomes smaller.Even if it doesn’t,careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools,but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence.After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program,according to Educators for Social Responsibility,“64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom;75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation;and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”.Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,teachers,parents,bosses,and coworkers.In that way,conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.1.This article is mainly about .A.the lives of school childrenB.the cause of arguments in schoolsC.how to analyze youth violenceD.how to deal with school conflicts2.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .A.violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB.a small conflict can lead to violenceC.students tend to lose their temper easilyD.the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight3.Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?( )A.To find out who is to blame.B.To get ready to try new things.C.To make clear what the real issue is.D.To figure out how to stop the shouting match.4.After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta,it was found that .A.there was a decrease in classroom violenceB.there was less student cooperation in the classroomC.more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsD.the teacher-student relationship greatly improved5.The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to .plain about problems in school educationB.teach students different strategies for school lifeC.advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsrm teachers of the latest studies on school violence语篇解读:本文为议论文,属于社会生活类。

On occasion, a memory came to my mind. My mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it. The table, as I remember, was always in my family and I had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room.Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. We were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as I grew older, I knew why.My father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. He was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险).Through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. Dad was away at around one o’clock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work.I can also remember her sewing almost every night.My mom didn’t take vacations. She didn’t go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared about al most nothing. We didn’t care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top.I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed.

Shami is a spy working for MI5, the British domestic security service. Recently he was interviewed by the BBC for the now TV documentary series. Modern Spies.Shami isn't his real name and in the interview his face was in shadow, so you couldn't identify him, but he spoke about his j ob and what motivates him.The interviewer asked Shami if he has any hesitation about s pying on other people. “No, not at all,” replied Shami. “I know why I'm doing it .

With his unique black mane (鬃毛)and impressive stature(身材),13-year-old Cecil was a popular tourist attraction at the 3.6million-square-acre Hwange National Park(万基国家公园) in Zimbabwe (津巴布韦).Cecil was head of a pride of lions that includes 12 cubs(幼崽), but the well-known lion was shot and killed in early July by American dentist Walter J. Palmer.Cecil’s death has already sparked an international outcry (强烈抗议) with many calling for an end to hunting endangered animals and for Palmer to be extradited(引渡) to Zimbabwe to stand trial.Professor David Macdonald, the head of the Oxford University research program that monitored the daily movements of Cecil and dozens of other lions, is deeply saddened by Cecil’s death. Macdonald hopes the death can inspire the public to take an interest in lion conservation. Macdonald says many of the lions tracked by the program have been shot and killed. “The background to this story is that there is a crisis for lions throughout much of Africa.” He says.African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades, and as few as 32,000 of them remain in the wild, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare(国际爱护动物基金会).“And as troubling as it is, the rarer these hunted animals become, the more hunter s are willing to pay to kill them,” said Jeff Flockedn, the fund’s North American regional director.In addition to excessive hunting, lions throughout Africa also continue to face threats that include conflicts with local farmers, loss of habitat and risk of traffic and railway collisions(碰撞).1. Internationally, people’s attitude towards Walter J. Palmer’s behavior is ________.A. UnderstandableB. UnpardonableC. UnpredictableD. Uncontrollable2. According to the text, how many African lions lived in the wild thirty years ago?A. 80,000B. 48,000C. 53,000D. 60,0003. African lions are facing the following threats except ________.A. their conflicts with local farmers.B. the loss of their habitatsC. people’s excessive huntingD. the increase in the number of their natural enemies4. The best title of the text might be ________.A. The Death of Cecil-an African LionAB. The Current state of All African LionsC. The Threats Facing African LionsD.

（主旨大意）（记叙文）When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of dir ection that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation.A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pr ide may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who th inks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.1.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us, " Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, “ Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder. "Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com.
