It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross"s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the World were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her." The Princess concluded, with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)". The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction we do not need. All I"m trying to do is help." Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make m atters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess"s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government"s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess"s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding." For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the Chance to get closer to people and their problems. | ||||||||||||||||

I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. What set him so far apart from others? He 1 that, in his opinion, it all came from an 2 from his mother that happened when he was about 2 years old. He had been trying to 3 a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his 4 on the slippery bottle and it 5 , making its contents pouring all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of 6 at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: "Robert, what a 7 and wonderful mess you have made! I have 8 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to 9 down and play in the milk for a few minutes 10 we clean it up?" Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said: "You know, Robert, 11 you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and 12 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel, or a mop. Which do you 13 ?" He chose the sponge and together they 14 the milk. His mother then said: "You know, what happened just now is a 15 experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two 16 hands. Let"s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 17 a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy 18 that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. This scientist then 19 that it was at that moment that he knew he didn"t need to be afraid to make 20 .Wouldn"t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert"s mother responded to him? | ||||||||||||||||
