| A university graduate described as a "respectable and intelligent" woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of (证明有……罪) shoplifting for the second time in six months. Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops . Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡ 9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9. Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting (起诉),said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies" toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms (防盗警报装置).

| The gray-haired lady can"t wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched ,she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30years ago. Not all cases of Alzheimer"s disease look like this ,but Alzheimer"s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75. It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer"s .In the early stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs. While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain"s nerve fibers (神经纤维),their effect is certain .Alzheimer"s destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses(配偶),friends and families. What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer"s disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimer"s disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis(诊断) and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects. What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer" s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn"t remember you are married. Life for the Alzheimer"s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses , bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present , facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them. | ||||||||||||||||

| Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 1 other people"s cars as well. It was pretty 2 outside and I had no plans to 3 being in the bright sun. she 4 wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水) to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids 5 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt confused, I decided to help her. Then she asked me, "What if we 6 this a smile car wash?" I couldn"t hold back my tears and 7 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 8 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the kids walked up to me with a(n) 9 with beautiful images of smiles. They had "Free Car Wash" written on it and the 10 of their exercise was "smile". It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the duty to do something for others. All that seemed 11 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 12 to them: their playtime, the heat outside--- they just wanted to help others and do something nice in the community! I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional cloth to help clean cars. Passers-by were 13 and one even shouted back to them saying, "God Bless You, my kids… | ||||||||||||||||
