The Monday edition of the USAToday said sixty people have died in 84 crashes since 2000 —more than double the number of crashes during the previous five years. Its study found that more than 10 percent of the U.S. air ambulance helicopters crashed during that time and about two-thirds of the fatal crashes occurred in poor visibility. After reviewing hundreds of pages of documents and interviewing dozens of pilots, federal officials and executives with the companies that operate the flights, USAToday concluded that air ambulance companies have failed to make safety requirements that might have saved lives. It also found that helicopters were used excessively for patients who weren’t severely injured. But the newspaper also noted that there are studies which show that hundreds of lives are saved each year by speedy flights to hospitals. It pointed out, as well, that pilots operate in challenging situations, such as having to land on hospital roofs and being sent on life-and-death tasks to rural accidents scenes despite darkness or bad weather. “I don’t know anybody in this industry who isn’t devoted to safety and devoted to what we do.“ Ron Fergie, president of the National EMS Pilots Association, told USAToday.

A．10% of the pilots are not qualified to operate helicopters.

It’s five minutes before the exam and you are in a state of fear. You just have to pass it, but how? You didn’t even open the book the night before and you hear a voice in your head saying “cheat, cheat,...“ so what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? It’s a tough decision many students must make. Most young people believe that cheating is wrong. However, they have cheated at least once in their high school years. So, why do they do it? Are they too lazy to study? Perhaps, it’s not as simple as that. According to some experts, one main reason why students cheat is that thev see theirs friends get away with it. It has never been easier to cheat than it is today. With all the technology available, students needn’t cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore.They use mobile phones to send answers to each other during a test.There is also the Internet, with hundreds of websites giving tips on the art of cheating in exams. Obviously, if you get caught cheating, you fail the exam. But it doesn’t matter whether you get caught or not. What’s important is that it’s wrong. How can you be proud of something you’ve achieved through cheating? In the end, it’s not about deceiving your teachers or your parents, but about fooling yourself that you can do something you really can’t.

At present, it seems impossible to visit the satellites of other stars in search of life. Our present theories of physics indicate that it is impossible to move at a speed greater than that of light. Even at such a speed it would take many years to reach the nearest star that might have planets. Most of such stars are many lifetimes away. Perhaps someday we shall invent ways of traveling or sending messages that will allow man to find other living things in the universe. Even more interesting is the possibility that they may find us. If the steady-state theory of the universe is correct, there must be many “solar systems“ that are much older than ours. On some of these, intelligent life may have evolved long ago. If so, these creatures might be exploring the universe today. Serious scientific projects in recent years have been studying the risks with radio telescopes, hoping to find signals sent by such intelligent beings. It has been suggested that the puzzling quasars(类星体) might be the wakes(航迹) left by spaceships traveling faster than light. Thus far, we have found no definite evidence of other intelligent life in the universe. Perhaps we never shall. Yet the search and the hope will remain an exciting possibility for the future.

The French shake hands with everyone (family, children, strangers) at home, on the way to work, at work, on the way from work, etc.Thus, in an office that employs perhaps a dozen people, no work will be done for the first half hour, while those who have not met since the day before remind each other of who they are. However, it is important to remember with whom one has shaken hands on any one day.The French regard it as extremely bad mariners to shake hands twice, as though one had not taken adequate notice the first time. It is still the custom to say “Bonjour (how do you do)“ and “Au revoir (good-bye)“ to one and all when entering or leaving a shop or bar.This is not because the French are excessively polite. It is because they see acknowledging the existence of others as a way of avoiding being rude. For the French manners means civilization. Without rigid formalities, the primitive in them would assuredly assert itself. Kissing is not so much of a feature of French as others supposed. But when it does take place, it must be done properly, according to the rules.The correct order is left cheek, right cheek, left cheek—very formal, very stylized. In Paris four kisses are sometimes permitted: left, right, left, right.
