3、or me, son? she said. Ill need to be paid. Ididnt realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed. By the time my mom returned, I was angry.

4、youll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it. Ive always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman.

10、irthday parties shed throw for her daughter one day. (Paige was five months pregnant at the time.) Then, flipping through a magazine, she saw a photo of an impoverished Haitian boy, skinny. I thought, this kid has nothing, Paige says. The image stayed with her, and she resolved to do something to he

11、lp. I decided I would use my talents to throw birthday parties for homeless kids, Paige says. For the next four years, Paige and her husband, Colin, took time out from parenthood to visit shelters to determine how best to pull off the parties. Finally, in January 2012, Paige launched the Birthday Pa

12、rty Project, a nonprofit organization, and recruited friends and family to help decorate Dallass 75-occupant Family Gateway Shelter with balloons and streamers, celebrating the birthdays of 11 boys and girls, with 60 more homeless kids in attendance.

18、because she was a frightening customer. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures. Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that she has seen a shift towards le

19、ss responsibility in newsrooms. Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are. Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, Youve a strict editor and youve to meet your targets. And some young journalists are

20、 inexperienced and will not do those checks. So much news reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someones door. You just sit at your desk and do it. Another journalist says, More clicks equal more money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was due to t

21、he limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in. In a Feb. 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that

22、 is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. The rumor becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity. And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York

23、 Times public editor, Margaret Sullivan. Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. Its extremely important to question and to prove before publication. Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated. In the words of some senior editors, a click is a cli

24、ck, regardless of the advantage of a story.

27、y scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyone who hasnt yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine (疫苗)with its excellent 36 percent effectivenesswould not prevent everyone from

28、 getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so heres what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu. The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts

29、, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune (免疫的) response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you reco

30、ver. The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands. But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, its nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu. The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate system and the adaptive. The innate immune system
