“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I was faced with disappointment. “If you on, one day something will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that ahead.”

I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-- got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring a(n) person.

Here are 7 signs that can be taken as warning and could help avert (避免) a catastrophic situation:
1. 1.
The most common warning sign of a heart attack is the feeling of discomfort or heaviness in the chest. This feeling could also be more of a burning sensation. Any of these symptoms should not be taken lightly, and if it occurs more than once, you need to rush to your doctor. If another person is complaining of the problem, chances are they have experienced the feeling before and are only expressing it now. So, rush them to the nearest doctor or hospital immediately for a check-up.
2. Shortness of Breath
If your breathing gets heavy and the breath falls short even after a short walk, climb or other form of movement or exercise, 2. . Even if this condition is not accompanied with chest discomfort, it should be taken as a warning sign.
3. Sweating
While sweating is inevitable in the scorching (灼热的) heat of May and June, excessive sweating even in cool conditions is uncalled for. 3.
4. Nausea (恶心)
Regularly feeling nauseous of dizzy could imply the onset (发作) of a heart attack. Do not treat is callously (麻木不仁地) as a sign of tiredness. This could happen due to the artery (动脉) getting blocked. It could also display itself via excessive stress, fatigue after short spans of movement or exercise, or a feeling of weakness despite eating and sleeping well.
5. Numbness (麻木) in Arms
If your arms feel numb and seem to be drifting to the sides, heart problem may be the cause.
6. Unresponsiveness
If certain parts of your body begin to stop responding, 4. . The affected parts may be the shoulders, arms or back of the neck.
7. Slurring (含糊不清) while Speaking
Difficulty while speaking need not necessarily occur after a bout of drinking with the buddies. It could be a graver situation than that! Inability to speak coherently could be the sign of a great attack. If you think you are suffering this ask a friend or relative to help by asking them to understand what you are saying.
A heart attack can be avoided if the warning signs are read correctly and in time. 5. . They could be the result of a choked artery (动脉). Even If heart attack is not the result, a check-up should definitely not be avoided! Take care!

F. Seek medical aid immediately if one or more of the above symptoms are noticed.

Nancy Tillman’s wonderful On the Night You Were Born is one of my favorite books. Its celebration of the uniqueness of each and every child told in lyrical language makes it the gift I choose most often for expectant or adoptive parents. I also read it regularly with my grandchildren and talk with them about how special they are.
Tillman feels that the most important message for children to receive is simply, “You are loved.” And it’s that message that is the focus of this, her newest book, Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You. Once again, it is her turn of phrase that most fascinates me: In the green of the grass ... in the smell of the sea ... in the clouds floating by ... at the top of a tree ... in the sound crickets make at the end of the day ... “You are loved. You are loved. You are loved,” they all say. Phrases encourage children to grow, to try new things, to “march to the front” of their “own parade” and assures them that, no matter how far they go or what they do, they will be loved.
Though the words alone would convince me to buy, share and recommend this book, Tillman is also a gifted artist and her lovely work makes this book a visual treasure as well. Through the pages, a child rides hippos, splashes in the surf with elephants, plays hide and seek with rabbits, shares a trampoline (蹦床) with a kangaroo and enjoys some quiet time with a pair of pandas. My favorite drawing has the child walking away along a wide path that runs between trees covered in mist. In all of the drawings, swirls of sparkling lights wrap around the child--the love that will always be with him/her.
I’ve read On the Night You Were Born dozens of times and with every single reading, I am incredibly touched. Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You creates the same feeling of wonder, peace and happiness in me. It’s a keep-forever book and I’m so happy to have it in my collection to share with the children I love most.

We know more about the surface of the planet Mars than we know about what is at the bottom of Earth’s oceans.
Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers, industry and governments.
The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean. He spoke to VOA on SKYPE.
“The way we’re doing that is to use a satellite altimeter (高度计), a radar to map the topography (地貌) of the ocean surface. Now that seems sort of strange that you’d map the topography of the ocean surface when you really want to get at the sea floor. But, the ocean surface topography has these bumps and dips due to gravitational effects that mimic what’s on the sea floor.”
The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agency’s Cryo-2 satellite. It was placed in Earth’s orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American space agency’s Jason-1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar ( 声呐：利用声波探测水下物体的装置或系统) equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed.
“That enables us to look at smaller-scale features and also features that are buried by sediments in the ocean basins.”
The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor.
In one place, three mountain ridges join at the same area. Huge tectonic (构造的) plates can be seen clearly there.
1.The passage is likely to _____.
A. be an advertisement B. appear on VOA
C. make a comment on radar D. appear on SKYPE
2.What will be mentioned in the following paragraph, according to the last paragraph? _____.
A. The detailed information about the place.
B. The more important thing in the ocean.
C. The things buried in the ocean.
D. Scientists told SKYPE they will explore at the same area.
3.Scientists collected and studied information by _____.
A. the European Space Agency’s Cryo-2 satellite
B. the American space agency’s Jason-1
C. sonar equipment on ships
D. the Cryo-2 and the Jason-1
4. What’s the best title of the passage? _____.
A. Scientists Create New Maps of Ocean Floor
B. Scientists Knows More Oceans Than Mars
C. Oceans Will Provide Us With Maps
D. People Knows Easily About Mars
