旅游和疾病
Harryis
on
the
business
trip.
Yesterday
he
was
supposed
to
fly
from San Francisco to Shanghai.
However, things didn
’
t turn
out the way they are supposed to. In
fact, nothing went the
way it was
supposed to. Everything went wrong and he
didn
’
t get on his flight. As
a result, he stayed in San Francisco.
The following is summary what happen.
Yesterday he got up at usual and had
breakfast. Everything
seemed to be fine
and he was looking forward to the trip. He
was
just
about
to
check
out
of
his
hotel
when
he
felt
the
pain.
It was
a pain on his lower back. It was a dorm pain at
first,
not too bad. So he
didn
’
t worry about it and he
checked out
the hotel. Then he got on a
shuttle bus to the airport. About
half
way to the airport, the pain in his back started
to get
worse. It was a growing pain and
he was beginning to worry.
Soon it was
difficult for him to sit in his seat. The
pain was
getting worse. He
wanted to lie down. He started to swear and
breathe quickly. He was in real pain
then. As a scale of 1 to
10, the pain
was an 8.
When the bus got to the
airport, the bus driver helped him to
get off. It was difficult for him to
walk but he finally made
it to the
terminal. Inside the terminal, he went to the
men
’
s
bathroom.
He
went
to
the
toilet
but
that
didn
’
t
help.
Instead
of
improving, his felt dizzy and he threw up. By now,
he was
wet
from
all
his
sweating.
He
knew
he
couldn
’
t
get
on
his
flight.
He used his phone to
call airline. He explained the situation
and
cancelled
his
reservation.
Then
he
called
911
for
an
emergency
help. 911 is the emergency number to call for help
in the United States.
An
ambulance
arrived
about
10
minutes
after
he
called.
By
then,
he was
in so much pain that he could barely walk. Once
inside
the ambulance, they gave him
oxygen to help him to breathe.
But
the
pain
was
still
terrible.
Then
they
drove
to
a
hospital
near
the
airport.
Luckily,
the
hospital
was
on
his
health
plan.
That
means
his
health
insurance
is
supposed
to
pay
for
everything.
Medical costs in the United States
are very high.
When
he
arrived
to
the
hospital,
he
was
taken
to
the
emergency
room.
After
some
tests,
a
doctor
told
him
he
had
a
kidney
stone.
It was a very small
stone, but it caused a lot of pain. It was
passing through a small tube in his
body from his kidney to
his
bladder.
The
pain
will
go
away
once
it
got
to
his
bladder.
Until
then
he
had
to
get
pain
medicine
to
reduce
the
pain.
Harry
didn
’
t have to
stay in hospital for very long. With the pain
medicine,
the
pain
went
away
very
quickly.
He
took
a
taxi
back
to his hotel and
checked in for another night. Then he called
the airline and made a reservation for
another flight. The
flight will leave
tomorrow. Until then, he will just rest in
his hotel. There may be a good movie to
watch. So when you
’
re
traveling, please prepare for the emergencies.
Make sure
you
had
a
medical
insurance.
You
never
know
when
something
like
this can happen to you. So be prepared.

能源和词性
Solar
energy
is
one
of
the
cleanest
and
most
plentiful
sources
of
energy.
Solar
power
depends
on
sunlight,
so
in
cloudy
weather or at night,
no power generated.
Wind energy is non-
polluting but it
’
s only
useful in places
where
there
is
a
lot
of
wind.
Windy
turbines
convert
thekinetic
energy by wind
into a mechanical power.
Nuclear
energy
is
efficient
and
doesn
’
t
produce
carbon
gases
as waste products. The
dangerous of nuclear power included
deadly radioactive waste products.
A
major
source
of
energy
comes
from
the
burning
of
fossil
fuels
such
as
coal
and
oil.
When
we
burn
the
fossil
fuels,
waste
gases
such
as
CO2
are
produced.
Fossil
fuss
remain
the
large
sources
of
energy from most counties.
Hydro power
comes
the kinetic
energy of
falling
water. Output
is
reliable and can be regularly to meet the demand
except
during the period of drought.
Here are different types of words in
English. Words that are
nouns and
pronouns are used to represent objects. A noun or
a pronoun can be a person, an animal or
a thing including an
idea.
Verbs are used to express action such
as to sit down or stand
up.
We
also
use
verbs
to
express
relationships
such
as
to
love
someone or to own something.
We use adjective to describe objects
such as a tall building.
Adjective
are
used
with
noun
or
pronoun
but
not
used
with
verbs.
We
use adverb to describe actions such as to run fast
or to
walk slowly. Adverbs express the
quality of an action such as
how well
or poorly something is gone.
We use
conjunctions to connect things or actions such as
to
read and write. Conjunctions include
words such as and, or,
because, but and
yet.
Dams are expensive to build and
affect wildlife such as fish.

Hey,
I
’
ve got some news, some
good news and some bad news.
Ok, give
me the bad news first.
We were moving
to a new office.
When was this going to
happen?
We were supposed to move at the
end of next month.
How far away is the
new office?
We are not sure yet but we
will mean a longer commute
for most
of us. The new
office will probably be on the other side of
the city.
The commute is
already too long for me and
I
’
m not going to
change flats. We just brought one.
Anyway. What

news
is
