15、panies.BIt was a Saturday morning, a day I believed would end in victory. For weeks, I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds (游乐场), sponsored by our local riding dub. My horse, Tonka, and I could run faster than any horse and kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue r

16、ibbon.My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer (马车).Although we never discussed it, my fathers struggle with alcohol had become the silent center of our family life. My mother was filled with fear and

17、 indecision. Her salary as a part- time nurse couldnt possibly support four children. No one talked about alcoholism in those days, and it was my family secret.We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed toward the fairgrounds, picking up speed once we hit the main

18、road. It wasnt until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control The dream of my riding winner disappeared. Tonka lay on the floor, completely still. No words were possible. I knew he was dead.Suddenly, a man appeared. “Are you all right?” he asked. “Yes.” I answered, though I

19、knew that nothing was all right. “Sit here on the grass, boy.” he said. He bent down to look into the trailer. Tonka remained still. He touched Tonka and then turned to face me. “He is going to be OK. He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonkas cheeks and gently pulling his ears. Tonka r

22、ever the case, youve got it: the terrible “lower back pain.”You certainly wouldnt be alone. Today, in fact, some form of back pain is the number two reason that drives Americans to seek health care, right behind the common cold. According to Dr Samuel, associate professor at the Icahn School of Medi

23、cine at Mount Sinai, up to 80 percent of the patients suffer from some form of back pain during their lifetime. Likewise, the NIH reported that “One-quarter of adults have at least one day of lower back pain in a three months period.”There are two main forms of lower back pain: acute (急性的) and chron

24、ic. Acute pain is defined by a sharp, severe, sudden onset (发生). But for all the pain you feel, acute LBP can often be healed with Advil, ice, and sufficient rest.“Chronic lower back pain is the real bugaboo,” says Dr Jack Jallo, a spine surgeon and a professor of neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson Un

25、iversity. “Its very difficult to manage.”Chronic LBF comes around, again and again, like a fly to a picnic table. Only instead of simply making your turkey sandwich less tasty, this fly makes it tough to get out of bed in the morning-and, instead of bothering you for 20 minutes, it bothers you for 2

26、0 years. “Unfortunately, theres not a machine that we can put you in and that will tell you where your back pain is coining from,” says Jallo. “Its one of the dilemmas of managing back pain.”28.

29、ng thing.D. A big barrier.DTales have reported animals behaving strangely during a solar eclipse (日蚀). Thats when the moon completely blocks out the sun. And its something that will happen along a path crossing the entire United States.Theres a lot of evidence for how animals and even plants respond

30、 to a solar eclipse, says Elise Ricard. “But theres not a lot of hard science,” she adds. Ricard is the spokesperson for an eclipse project called Life Responds. She notes that tales alone arent enough for scientists to conclude anything certain about how wildlife typically behaves during a solar ec

31、lipse.The earliest record comes from 1544. Thats when an unknown observer wrote that “birds stopped singing” during a total eclipse. In the past century or so, however, scientists have tried to approach the question in a more systematic way. Eclipse studies in the 1960s and 1970s reported small light-sensitive zooplankton (浮游动物) swimming towards the surface. That is similar to what the tiny animals do at night. And during an annular eclipse in 1984, captive chimpanzees kept climbing a structure. Then they turned their faces t
