3、, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them. Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. Hes a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago
4、, he was looking for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want so sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to retched their bikes and post reports when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasin
5、g, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, Youve got two option. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you ca
6、n just get out of here. You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-
7、up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized po
8、ssessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary. His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called Robin Hood. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, Batman seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals fe
9、els pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattles reputation as a friendly city. 1. Bike Batman is_ .

But last summer, Joanna and Henry n
12、oticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. The door to his room is always shut. Joanna noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. She used to cuddle up (依偎) with me on the sofa and talk, said Mark
13、. Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which. Before age 11, children like to tell their parents whats on their minds. In fact, parents are first on
14、 the list, said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. This completely changes during the teen years, Riera explained. They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. Parents who know whats going on in their teenagers lives are in the
15、 best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing p

20、of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like. Blurring (使模糊) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects. “Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Faceb
21、ook, they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names.” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤科医生) under the age of 40, found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to t
22、hose patients they liked. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a persons care. Lesley Fallowfield, of Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said: “Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewa
23、rding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease; conveying the true prognosis (预后); discussing the complexity of modern treatments; and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side-effects of treatment, and likely treatment aims.”But she said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the Internet worldare more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.” She said: “The difficulty, if you hug a
