Every year, almost 2 million Americans are injured while they're

1

work. Every day, 240 are killed on the job.

The

2

job

is

cutting

down

trees.

Being

a

policeman

is

safer

than

many

jobs,

including

driving

a

truck,

collecting

garbage and

3

airplanes. One of the safest jobs is being a librarian.

The government inspects(

检查

) most factories and offices.

4

have to

5 fines if their factories or offices are

unsafe.

In

California,

employers

often

go

to

prison

if

one

of

their

workers

is

6

because

a

factory

didn't

7

safety measures. But President Bush cut down the number of government inspectors

8

15 percent. Many people say

working is less safe

9

.

For women workers, the greatest danger so far is murder.

Forty--two percent of all

10

who die at work were

killed. Many of them work

11

clerks in stores

12

they are by themselves at night. Experts say they can protect

themselves by putting the cash desk in full

13

of the street.

The numbers of deaths and accidents at work don't take into

14

people who become sick from

15

that

they are exposed to at work. Doctors don't know

16

some chemicals cause illness.

There are no government rules for many new chemicals.

Inspectors say employers

17

their backs on safety problems because they don't want to pay the bill for fixing

them. They also say some workers don't want to complain about dangers because they may

18

their jobs.

The government should force business to improve safety. There's no

19

for workers dying or

20

in an

accident that could have been prevented.

How do you draw the interest of a 4,500 kilogram elephant?

You hit the elephant with a big

I

, according to a zoo director in California.

But is that a

2

way to treat the big, friendly animals?

How zoos treat their elephants has led to a scientific

3

. Some scientists complain that zoos use

4

force to

train the huge animals and get them

5

control.

There

are

about

400

elephants

in

North

American

zoos,

and

wild

animal

parks.

The

6

animals

with

their

big

trunks and ears and tusks delight children and

7 smiles from adults.

8

hasn't

9

when an elephant has picked

up a peanut quickly with its trunk from a trainer?

But elephants aren't in zoos just for entertainment. Elephants are

10

in Asia and Africa, and being raised in

American zoos may be

11

to keep them

12.

Elephants are different from most other zoo animals because they must be in touch with humans who take care of

their feet, and

13

an elephant wants to be dominant(

支配的

). An elephant wants to control the

14

, not on the

contrary.

Elephant keepers must make the animals obey them

15

they may be attacked by the elephants.

But some scientists are

16

that keepers are using too much

17

and are injuring elephants. Several zoos

have recently been looked into

18

people said elephants were beaten with heavy sticks.

Scientists are

19

zoos how to make elephants behave without

20

them. If they succeed, children will be

entertained by elephants for many more generations.

Everybody

knows

Charlie

Chaplin,

a

world-famous

funny

actor.

People

1

have

laughed

Charlie

Chaplin’s

films

2

tears run down their faces. From his very first

3

they know what will happen. The little man is

always with black moustache, wide-open eyes, round black hat and

4

too large for his feet. He will

5

through

snow, and fall from windows. He’ll fight men who are twice his

6

,fall in love with women, who

7

notice him

and try to hug(

拥抱

)them.

The poor man that Charlie Chaplin

8

in dozens of films makes all kinds of stupid

mistakes. He is always in

9

,but he never

10

.He dreams of becoming a great man.

Even people who

11

understand English can

12

Chaplin’s film, because they are mostly

13

.It isn’t

what he

14

that makes people laugh. His comedy(

喜剧

) doesn’t depend on words. It depends on little

15

which mean the

16

thing to people all over the world.

Chaplin raises his thick eyebrows(

眉毛

)or rolls his eyes. He hides behind a fat lady or under a table to escape from

his

17

.He dresses well and pretends to be a

18

and important man. It is also the hopeless and

19

that

makes us laugh. This is the

of Chaplin

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(

说明书

). And each child is

1

. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(

挫折

),not

2

what to do. But in raising children

—

as in all

of life

—

what we do is

3

by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American

4

.

To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children

5

on their own two feet. From

6

, each child may get his or

her

own

room.

As

children

grow,

they

get

more

7

to

make

their

own

choices.

8

choose

their

own

forms

of

entertainment, as well as the friends to

9

them with. When they

10

young adulthood, they choose their own jobs

and marriage

11

. Of course, many young adults still

12

their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they

2

make. But once they “leave the

13

” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not “

14

to their

mother’s apron stri

ngs (

围裙带

). The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American

parents try to

15

their children as individuals

—

not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own

16

. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the

17

to succeed. When children become adults,

their

relationship

with

their

parents

becomes

more

like

a(an)

18

among

equals.

But

19

to

popular

belief,

most

adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to

20

. Even as adult, they respect

3

him. They came to the beach. To ease(

减轻

) the sense of

4

, he took a picture of his father. Then he put the

camera aside and

5

the gun. His father said

take

them!' cried his father. John felt his body

8

He stood up, leaned into the gun the way his father taught him. In the

same distance, the ducks saw the gunners and flared wildly. For a second he hung there and balanced between life and

and honor their parents.

That was the morning, when John, 14--year--old, was to begin his duck shooting. He had

1

the whole idea

ever since his father had bought him a gun and had

2

him a trip to this island, but he loved his father and wanted to

death. There was no sound. John stood
