单选题Tatoo Jack's friend Tony had recently gotten a tatoo (文身) and Jack was so impressed by Tony's bravery and his tatoo that he decided to get one, too. Why do a lot of young people in North America get tatoos today? Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons. The desire to be part of a group, to be accepted by one's friends or peers, can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tatoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tatoos to identify their particular group. For example, in one gang all the members may wear green army jackets and have large "Xs" tatooed on their arms. It is not only gangs that have this type of special "uniform". Young people often belong to a certain group of friends. Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes. Others wear tatoos. When a person's friends are all doing something, such as getting a tatoo, that person is more likely to do the same thing, and get a tatoo too. The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tatoos in North America. A wide variety of media images show tatoos. Tatoos can be seen on people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars. Famous sports heroes with tatoos are shown in magazines. Fashion models are often seen in magazines and on TV wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tatooed with detailed and colorful patterns. These media images link tatoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tatoo for its fashion and status value. It is not always the influence of other people or the media that results in a person getting a tatoo. Many people decide to wear tatoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings in other words, to show their individuality. A musician in a rock band may get a tatoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tatoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. Lovers may tatoo each others' names over their hearts. A tatoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life.

单选题{{B}}第三篇{{/B}} {{B}}More Than a Ride to School{{/B}} The National Education Association claims, "The school bus is a mirror of the community." They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right — sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl. Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl's family moved to Parkesburg, knowing her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus. This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus. She says, "It's been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important." Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree. Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company. Larry Althouse, president of the company, acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record: "You do not come by employees like Bruce these days. He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. He was recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles. Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus." Althouse further adds, "Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since. My grandfather started the business with one bus. Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come." Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations. Liesrs mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School .District.

单选题 Wayne Beno Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman. Fishing, boating, hunting, walking through the woods with his three dogs, Wayne loved and did it all. Then life changed dramatically. Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (帕金森氏病). "For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day, had horrible side effects, and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors (颤抖). I only went out during peak times, when I was looking and feeling my best. But that wasn't often and I really couldn't do much of anything. I felt like the life I loved was over," said Wayne. Then Wayne's doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation (刺激) (DBS). DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and more. It is not a cure, but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases, with relatively low risk to the patient. In addition to his doctor's recommendation, Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin. His friend's experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz, Wisconsin could be well worth the effort. And was it ever. "It was the best thing I ever did. I'm down to zero pills a day and I don't shake at all," reports Wayne. "Before the surgery, I felt bad every single day. Now I feel like my old self. I'm back to business as usual, which for me means fishing, fishing, and more fishing, every day of the year. Things just couldn't be any better!"

Martin Johnson, a professor of nursing at the University of Salford, said that the work of {{U}}(56) {{/U}} like Pamela had changed the face of patient care.

" "The idea was that if mum came to {{U}}(59) {{/U}} a small child in hospital the child would be upset and inconsolable (无法安慰的) for hours. " "Yet the nurse noticed that if mum did not come at {{U}}(60) {{/U}} the child stayed in a relatively stable state but they might be depressed. " "Of course we know now that they had almost given up hope {{U}}(61) {{/U}} mum was ever coming back. " "To avoid a little bit of pain they said that no one should visit. " "But children were alone and depressed, so Hawthorn said parents should be {{U}}(62) {{/U}} to visit. " Dr. Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said her {{U}}(63) {{/U}} had been seminal (开创性的). "Her research put an end to the {{U}}(64) {{/U}} when parents handed their children over to strangers at the door of the hospital ward. " "As a result of her work, parents are now recognized as partners in care and are afforded the opportunity to stay with their children while they are in hospital, {{U}}(65) {{/U}} has dramatically improved both parents' and children's experience of care.
