While the first part of the news is upsetting,the end results are much more optimistic. Gavin,a teenager with Asperger's Syndrome,was beaten up just for being different. Asperger,s Syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to socialize. This explains why Gavin sometimes appears distant from his schoolmates.
On Thursday night,some kids were talking about how “it's weird(怪異的) ” that he is always by himself,attending events alone and watching people,and they thought it was “creepy” that he wanted to be friends with people he didn't know.
On Friday night,another kid that overheard that conversation decided to take matters into his own hands and become judge,and this is the result of that. He didn't ask questions,didn't get to know Gavin,never met him,and didn't give him a chance to leave. Gavin was called to meet someone,surrounded by people he didn’t know,choked,hit,and left lying on the pavement so he would “l(fā)eam his lesson”.
A friend of Gavin's mother shared photos on Facebook of the injuries to his nose,eyes and esophagus(食道). Luckily,Gavin is doing OK and none of the damage is permanent. Instead of pressing charges or fighting back,Gavin' s reaction speaks volumes.
He requested the bullies’ community service be disability related,that they write a paper on Asperger's,and that they watch a 20-minute video statement he taped while their families were present so they could see the damage they did and hear the event from his perspective.
Instead of an actual “punishment”,he wanted the kids to truly leam about Asperger's Syndrome. Hopefully this will lead to the teens being more tolerant and no one else ever going through the pain that Gavin did. After all of that,Gavin's mom's message couldn’t be more true to parents and teachers alike:
“If you are reading this,I hope you can talk to your teens,tell them about disabilities you can't see,teach them to be tolerant of people that are different,teach them that if they continuously see someone alone,ask questions first and get to know one another. Maybe it is not their choice to be alone."

Before she was Queen of England,Princess Elizabeth wanted to join the Auxiliary Territorial Service (A.T.S.) , a female branch of the British military. It was World War II,and women worked at jobs traditionally held by men,who were now overseas fighting.
Elizabeth was a teenager and first had to convince her parents about her plan. Her father,King George Ⅵ. thought it was too dangerous. But Princess Elizabeth would not take no for an answer. “I ought to do as other girls of my age do,” she said firmly. After some months,her parents finally agreed to let her join.
Princess Elizabeth did not receive any special treatment in the A. T.S. The only thing different was that she returned to Windsor Castle each night to sleep.
When she arrived at the A. T.S. camp depot (兵站) for her first day of training,Princess Elizabeth was greeted by a car with its wheels off. In the weeks that followed,she learned to take apart an engine and then assemble(裝配) it. The princess loved the training,admitting, “I'm a mechanic at last."
Princess Elizabeth worked on car,truck,and even tank engines. She also learned to read maps and drive officer transport cars,ambulances,and military trucks. To complete her A. T.S. training,she was required to drive a big truck on her own.
The king and queen thought driving a truck was too dangerous,but before they could let her know how they felt,they discovered Elizabeth driving a truck onto the palace grounds. She had driven from the A. T.S. camp through the busy London streets all by herself.
Princess Elizabeth became Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. Now in her eighties,she still drives. Queen Elizabeth loves horses and still rides four times each week. She also actively manages her estate(莊園) farm at Balmoral and is often seen hiking through the countryside there.

A Canadian study suggests that current sodium (鈉) intake levels are relatively safe for most Americans and that reducing them to the very low levels recommended by federal health officials and leading medical groups may harm a significant number.
The current average sodium consumption in the United States is about 3,400 milligrams (there are 1,000 milligrams in one gram) per day. This is about the amount of sodium in about 1. 5 teaspoons of salt. Dietary guidelines offered by the federal government and leading medical groups recommend reducing the average to 2,300 milligrams for the general population and 1,500 for groups considered at greater risk,like adults older than 50,African-Americans,and people with high blood pressure,among others.
However,previous studies have found little evidence to support those low recommended sodium targets. There is considerable evidence that lowering sodium can reduce blood pressure,but there is scant evidence that reducing sodium consumption will necessarily reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes(中 風) and death.
Now a large study by researchers at McMaster University in Ontario,Canada,which tracked more than 100,000 people from 17 countries on five continents,has found that the safest levels of sodium intake are between 3 ,000 and 6,000 milligrams. Consumption below that level showed increased risk of death and cardiovascular(心血管的) events.
Roughly 10 percent of the patients followed in the study fell below 3,000 milligrams,a sizable number to put at risk.
Brian Strom,honorary head of biomedical and health sciences at Rutgers University,who led a group of experts who reviewed the data on sodium for the Institute of Medicine last year,said that the new McMaster data are among the best available and that no study has shown a benefit from reducing sodium consumption to below 2,300 milligrams a day.
That does not mean individuals wiiose sodium intake is high should not take steps to bring it down. The McMaster researchers say that if your blood pressure rises beyond the normal level (140/90 or higher) or your sodium intake is high,you should reduce sodium consumption,perhaps even to below 5 ,000 milligrams.
6. For healthy elderly people,the US government recommends sodium intake .
A. 1,500 milligrams daily
B. 2,300 milligrams daily
C. 3,000 milligrams daily
D. 3,400 milligrams daily
7. The underlined word “scant” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “”.
A. direct B. important
C. limited D. conflicting
8. According to the study,consuming less than 3,000 milligrams of sodium a day.
A. is beneficial for most patients
B. may help prevent heart disease
C. may be harmful to your health
D. is especially helpful for Americans
9. What is Strom's attitude towards the research findings?
A. He is doubtful about them.
B. He is uncertain of them.
C. He tolerates them.
D. He supports them.
10. What is the Canadian scientists’ advice for high blood pressure patients?
A. Follow the government's dietary guidelines.
B. Lower sodium intake to a reasonable level.
C. Join one of the leading medical groups.
D. Have physical examinations regularly.

Livestock(牲畜) cloning is the practice of cloning sheep,cattle and other livestock species as a way to improve efficiency. The basic idea behind livestock cloning is to clone animals that have certain qualities,such as cows that produce more milk or meat. 1 However,this practice is very controversial,and livestock farmers have been hesitant to adopt it fully because of public opposition and certain inefficiencies.
In technical terms,livestock are cloned by taking cells from one animal and using them to fertilize eggs(使卵子受精) .Scientists take the fertilized eggs and put them in female animals. 2 Many animals are bom with abnormal shapes. Scientists are looking for ways to improve the process and make it less expensive to adopt on a wider scale.
3 For example,if farmers were able to take only their very best animals and recreate them many times,they could potentially be more productive.
There are also some potential problems with cloned livestock. 4. For example,when a disease hits,there are usually individuals who cannot be harmed by the disease or are more resistant,and they will generally survive. If all the animals were genetically (在基因方面) identical or similar,this sort of disease could totally destroy an entire generation of livestock,leaving the world with a massive food shortage.
In addition to concerns about genetic diversity,there are other concerns about cloning. 5 There are also some people who worry that livestock cloning research may be a gateway to introducing human cloning,which is widely disapproved of.
A. Are the surviving clones really clones?
B. Therefore,the new species is expected to be better.
C. The biggest one arises from a reduction in genetic diversity.
D. Cloned livestock have the potential to provide some major benefits.
E. Cloning animals shows us what might happen if we try to clone humans.
F. These concerns sometimes come from worries over unforeseen consequences.
G. This process doesn't always work perfectly,and it can be relatively expensive.
