More than a decade after they first met on Mount Bamian in western Hunan province, a photographer from Shenzhen, has kept his promise of finding funding for a young woman whose arms were amputated(截肢) as a child.

Chen Yongheng has taken about 5,000 photos of Xiang Liping, who he first met when she was 13 in December 2002. She appeared on a hillside as he was coming down the mountain, followed by two other children, carrying large bundles(捆) of straw on their backs. Intrigued by the sight, Chen raised his camera to take a picture of the three — but it was then that he noticed the sleeves of the girl in red blowing in the wind. He approached and touched the girl's sleeves, only to discover there were no arms inside.

After returning home and reviewing his photographs, Chen decided he had to find the girl again. Chen finally found the girl one year later. He learned that she touched an exposed electrical wire when she was only 4 and had to have both her arms amputated. It was then that an idea occurred to him — hand in his pictures of Xiang to the World Press Photo Contest, which offers a 10,000 euro ($11,080) top prize. From 2003 to 2013, Chen visited the family and took photos of Xiang every year. He entered the contest every year, but every time he failed to win the top prize. That was until December last year, when his pictures caught the attention of journalists at a photo exhibition. After the photos were published online in June, 2016, they were viewed more than 100 million times and attracted more than 80,000 comments. With the support of the China Social Assistance Foundation, more than 300,000 yuan was donated to Xiang. "She now has more confidence and told me over phone that she wants to open an online store," Chen said.

18．Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1from further proliferation （繁衍） till the virus limits itself in about 1-2weeks （its natural cycle）．H1N1，like other Influenza A viruses，only infects the upper respiratory tract and proliferates （only） there．The only way of entry are the nostrils（鼻孔） and mouth/throat．In a global epidemic of this nature，it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1．
Contact with H1N1is not so much of a problem as proliferation is．
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1infection，in order to prevent proliferation，some very simple steps can be practiced：
1．Frequent hand-washing．
2．"Hands-off-the-face"approach．Resist all temptations to touch any part of face （unless you want to eat or bathe）．
3．Gargle（漱口） twice a day with warm salt water （use Listerine if you don't trust salt）．H1N1takes 2-3days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms．Simple gargling prevents proliferation．In a way，gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one．Don't underestimate this simple，inexpensive and powerful preventative method．
4．Similar to 3above，clean your nostrilsat least once every day with warm salt water，Which is very effective in bringing down viral population．
5．Strengthen your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C．If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets，make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption．
6．Drink as much of warm liquids as you can．Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling，but in the reverse direction．They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive，proliferate or do any harm．
7．All these are simple ways to prevent，within means of most households，and certainly much less painful than to wait in long queues outside public hospitals．

57．What part of a person's body do H1N1flu viruses mainly infect？B
A．one's lung            B．the upper respiratory tract
C．one's heart           D．one's throat and lung
58．H1N1flu viruses go into our bodies byC．
A．touching          B．diet   
C．breathing         D．dirt
59．What does the underlined word"underestimate"mean？A
A．a(chǎn)ssign too low a value to
B．drop the cost of
C．pay more attention to
D．calculate the number of money
60．The author presents this passage byC．
A．telling an interesting story    
B．testing an idea by reasoning
C．introducing some practical methods   
D．describing some activities in a natural order．

Make a contribution to our society.Even though 70 percent of you will be lawyers,still I say to you: Try to do something useful with your life,if only in your spare time.

How to Fix a Relationship

If you're having a problem with your relationship, you're not alone.1.However, you can make it work out if you decide to work together to fix it.

Recognize the problems. Any number of problems could do harm to your relationship. You should look for signs and symptoms of the problems you're facing. Listening attentively is the key, which can help you understand what he or she is feeling. 2.Actually think about what the person is saying, and maybe try to understand what is behind the words, as well. You also have a right to discuss what you’re feeling and thinking. The key is to keep a calm head. 3.Once you’ve figured out what your problems are together, have a conversation to find ways to solve them. How can you solve the problems in a way that both of you can live with? 4. Start with the place you both agree on. Maybe you can both agree on the problem at least, or maybe you can agree on the first step to the solution. For instance, maybe you agree that you are feeling disconnected. Maybe you can take it one step further and agree that you need to spend more time together.

Make a plan together. Once you’ve agreed to solutions, it’s time to put them into concrete terms. For instance, if you both agree you need to spend more time together, then maybe the agreement will be that you should make a date at least once a week.

Find ways to compromise. The key to any relationship is learning to compromise. 5. Compromising is about finding common ground, and both of you giving in a little on the issue.

A. Spend time connecting.

B. Talk about solutions together.

C. Don’t just let the words pass over you.

D. In other words, you need to look for common ground.

E. Most people have trouble with relationships at one point or another.

F. You can’t just expect to win every argument, as relationships need to give and take.

G. Whatever you need to do, take a few minutes to calm down before continuing the discussion.
