The mother of the 13-year-old Dutch girl Laura Dekker, whose plans to make a solo(单独的) sailing trip around the world have recently made world headlines, has spoken out against the trip. “It breaks my heart to think that because of this I could lose contact with my daughter,” she said in an interview. “I have never before made such a difficult decision. But I must accept the consequences. I would rather have a live daughter who I will never see again than a dead daughter.”
It is the first time that Laura’s mother, Babs Muller, has spoken out against the trip. Laura’s parents are divorced and the girl has lived with her father since she was six. Her father Dick Dekker supports Laura’s plans. However, the Dutch Child Protection Board has decided to place the girl under supervision (监督) for two months to find out whether she is mentally and physically able to take the journey. Ms Muller says she is confident that Laura is technically capable of making the journey. “She can sail like the devil. That’s not the problem.” However, she is afraid of the problems a 13-year-old girl can meet in the harbors of Third-World countries and of the psychological (心理上的) pressure of being alone for such a long period on the ocean. “The most important thing, in my eyes, is that she is not yet an adult.”
Ms Muller says she told Laura once before that she was against the idea. Her daughter replied, “If you forbid me, you will have ruined my entire life. Then I’ll never want to see you again.” However, Laura’s mother says that reports that a camera team is planning to follow her around the world could change her opinion about the trip.
1.Laura Dekker’s plans to sail solo around the world _________.
A. made her father unhappy
B. made her parents divorce
C . have attracted wide attention
D. were difficult decisions to make
2.We can learn that the Dutch Child Protection Board _________.
A. cares about Laura’s safety
B. doesn’t believe in Laura at all
C. will train Laura for two months
D. will help Laura realize her dream
3. It can be inferred that Laura Dekker and her mother_________.
A. might have a quarrel.
B. have reached an agreement.
C. have lost touch with each other.
D. are angry with Dick Dekker.

Miss Elizabeth at my last school taught me an interesting system for list new vocabulary. She calls it Suitcase, Fridge and Dustbin. At the end of each day, he told us to look at the new word on the board. She told us to decide how usefully they were to us personally. The useful words are put in a list called a Suitcase. If we think they might be useful to the future, we put them in the list of Fridge. Dustbin is for words what we’ll never use! At the end of week, we compared our lists between those of other students.

Having a tattoo(纹身) can reduce your chance of getting a job, but it depends on where the tattoo is, what it expresses and if the job involves dealing with customers, new research says.
Dr Andrew R Timming told the British Sociological Association conference on work, employment and society in Warwick today that employers were likely to view tattoos negatively. Dr Timming of the school of Management at the University of St Andrews said he had spoken to 15 managers involved in hiring staff about their reaction to interview candidates with visible tattoos.
"Most respondents agreed that visible tattoos are a stigma," Dr Timming told the conference. One woman manager told him that "they make a person look dirty." Another male manager told him "subconsciously that would stop me from employing them." The managers were concerned about what their organisations' customers might think, said Dr Timming. "Hiring managers realise that, ultimately, it does not matter what they think of tattoos -- what really matters, instead, is how customers might think of employees with visible tattoos.
Dr Timming said: "The one qualification to this argument is there are certain industries in which tattoos may be a desirable characteristic in a job interview. For example, an HR manager at a prison noted that tattoos on guards can be 'something to talk about' and 'an in' that you need to make a connection with the prisoners."
The negative attitude to tattoos did not extend to ones that could be easily covered by clothing. Dr Timming also found that in some of the organisations it was only certain types of tattoos that diminished the chances of getting a job at interview. One male manager told him: "If it's gang culture-related you may have a different view about the tattoo than if it's just because it's a nice drawing of an animal that they've done on their arm."
1.Why do managers really refuse to hire a person with tattoos?
A. They don’t like tattoos themselves.
B. Tattoos can turn customers away.
C. People with tattoos don’t obey the rules.
D. People with tattoos are gang members.
2.A person with tattoos can probably work as ________.
A. a doorkeeper B. a salesman
C. a prison guard D. a manager
3.Who would be most likely to be turned down by employers?
A. A person who has his tattoos covered.
B. A person who has tattoos of an animal.
C. A person with a gang culture-related tattoo.
D. A person with a drawing of flowers on his arms.
4.We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.
A. not all tattoos reduce one’s chance if employment.
B. some tattoos are helpful to a job interviewee.
C. it’s no use covering one’s tattoos.
D. tattoos are hard to hide.
