My parents decided to make a trip to Beijing. When they told me their decisions, I was so delighted. But my mother became worried with her flower, for nobody would take care of it. Seeing the worrying expression on her face, suddenly I remembered that an article in a magazine I had read earlier. It’s suggested in the article that people used a piece of cloth to take care of their plants when you are away. On the day we set off, I found a piece of cloth and put one end of them into the basin, which is full of water, and the other end into the flower pot. Three days later, while we came back from Beijing, flower was still alive.

It’s no secret that kids like fast food. 1 —so much that some companies have increased their marketing efforts in the past couple of years, says a report published last Monday by Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity.
2 . For example, it found that unhealthy foods take up children’s menus, 3 , only a dozen met the nutritional standards the researchers set for preschoolers, and 15 met the criteria for teenagers.
To achieve saturation（渗透）of advertising, fast food restaurants spent more than $ 4.2, billion on marketing and advertising last year, with $ 660 million on marketing specially to young people. At these rates, children and adolescents see more advertisements for fast food than for any other kind of food.
4 ,the report found that French fries are served with kids’ meals 86% of the time, and soft drinks at least 55% of the time.
US first lady Michelle Obama has called on the companies to limit their marketing campaigns directed at children. “As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, to raise my kids,” she said. “ 5 , what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts ruined by too many advertisements aimed at our kids.”
A．And these kids have huge control over the flow of parents’ spending
B．But we have to ask ourselves
C．And fast food lies kids
D．The study doesn’t show fast food companies in the best light
E．Though they might not have much money to spend
F．Out of 3,309 likely meal combinations
G．Despite advertisements that show healthy options
THIS was the year the Earth struck back.
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, snow storms, landslides and droughts killed at least a quarter of a million people in 2010 – the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.
"It just seemed like it was back-to-back and it came in waves," said Craig Fugate, who heads the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.
And we have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.
Even though many catastrophes have the ring of random chance, the hand of man made this a particularly deadly, costly, extreme and weird（古怪的） year for everything from wild weather to earthquakes.
Poor construction and development practices conspire to make earthquakes more deadly than they need be. More people live in poverty in vulnerable（脆弱的） buildings in crowded cities. That means that when the ground shakes, the river breaches, or the tropical cyclone hits, more people die.
Disasters from the Earth, such as earthquakes and volcanoes "are pretty much constant," said Andreas Schraft, vice president of catastrophic perils for the Geneva-based insurance giant Swiss Re. "All the change that's made is man-made."
The January earthquake that killed well more than 220,000 people in Haiti is a perfect example. Port-au-Prince has nearly three times as many people - many of them living in poverty - and more poorly built shanties than it did 25 years ago. So had the same quake hit in 1985 instead of 2010, total deaths would have probably been in the 80,000 range, said Richard Olson, director of disaster risk reduction at Florida International University.
In February, an earthquake that was more than 500 times stronger than the one that struck Haiti hit an area of Chile that was less populated, better constructed, and not as poor. Chile's bigger quake caused fewer than 1,000 deaths.
Climate scientists say Earth's climate also is changing, bringing extreme weather, such as heat waves and flooding.
In the summer, one weather system caused oppressive heat in Russia, while farther south it caused flooding in Pakistan that inundated 161,200 square kilometers, about the size of Wisconsin. That single heat-and-storm system killed almost 17,000 people, more people than all the worldwide airplane crashes in the past 15 years.
Scientists have calculated that the killer Russian heat wave—setting a national record of 43.9℃—would happen once every 100,000 years without global warming.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.

A TAXI driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Inspiring speakers charge thousands of dollars to give his kind of training to corporate directors and staff. It cost me only a ＄12 taxi ride.
