After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son，

　 I want to thank you for teaching me a very __1__ lesson in life by the great example you __2__. When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had __3__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any __4__， you went over and put the __5__ $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you __6__threw a fivecent coin onto the pavement and said __7__　 like, “Some kid will really enjoy __8__ this.”

　　 Last week，a young man __9__ me in the line at a petrol station didn't have __10__　 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector，“How much __11__ is he？” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car __12__ he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 __13__， which came to just over __14__. That is an easy mistake __15__ both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and __16__ you did that night at the caré in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so __17__ and said，“But why would you do this for me？”I just smiled as I thought of you.

　　 Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it's _18__to give than receive”. Now when I see a fivecent coin on the__19__ and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it __20__， just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Love always,

Mum

Cutting meat production and consumption by 30 percent would help to reduce carbon emissions(排放) and improve health in the most meat-loving nations, scientists said on Wednesday.

Using prediction models, British and Australian researchers　 1 that improving efficiency, increasing carbon capture and 2 fossil fuel dependence in farming would not be enough to　 3　 emissions targets.

But combining these steps 4 a 30 percent reduction in livestock（家畜） 5 in major meat-producing nations and a similar 6 in meat-eating, would lead to "substantial population health benefits" and cut emissions, they said.

The study found that in Britain, a 30 percent 7 intake of animal-source saturated（饱和的） fat by adults would reduce the 8 of premature（过早的） deaths from heart disease by some 17 percent -- equivalent to 18,000 premature deaths reduced in one year.

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, it could mean as 9 as 1,000 premature deaths reduced in a year, they said.

10 the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are from meat production and experts say rising 11 for meat, particularly in countries with growing economies, could 12 livestock production up by 85 percent from 2000 levels 13 2030.

The scientists said global action was needed to maximize the benefits of cutting meat production and 14 , and that the environmental 15 "may apply only in those countries that currently have high production levels."

The study was 16 in The Lancet medical journal as part of a series in climate change and health 17 the Copenhagen global climate summit scheduled next month.

In a second study, British scientists found that increased walking and cycling, and 18 cars, would have a much greater impact on health 19 low-emission vehicles in rich and middle-income countries.

Andrew Haines, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and head of the research series, said delegates at Copenhagen needed "to understand the potential 20 impacts of their plans."

It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn’t healed (痊愈) from a (n) __1__ injury. I had __2__ whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, __3__ for the 3 000-meter run.

    “Ready...set...” The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed __4__ me. I felt __5__ as I fell farther and farther behind.

    “Hooray!” shouted the crowd. It was the loudest __6__ I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.

    “Maybe I should __7__,” I thought as I moved on. __8__, I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran __9__ and decided not to __10__ in track next year. It wouldn’t be worth it, __11__ my foot did heal.

    When I finished, I heard a cheer—__12_ than the one I’d heard earlier. I turned around and __13__, the boys were preparing for their race. “They must be cheering for the boys.”

    I was leaving __14__ several girls came up to me. “Wow, you’ve got courage!” one of them told me.

    “Courage? I just __15__ a race!” I thought.

    “I would have given up on the first lap,” said another girl. “We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?”

    Suddenly I regained __16__.  I decided to __17__ track next year. I realized strength and courage aren’t always __18__ in medals and victories, but in the __19__ we over come (战胜). The strongest people are not always the people who win, __20__ the people who don’t give up when they lose.
