Lancashire.

for 730 children, with parents warned to keep them
at home for at least the rest of the week.
1950s science block was reduced to broken stones in Sunday’s blaze,
which created clouds of smoke visible for miles. Sources said the
library and sports hall were also damaged beyond repair.
winds and a shortage of water hampered (prevented) 125 firemen
trying to bring it under control.
said yesterday that five boys & one aged 11, two 12-year-olds, one
aged 13 and one 15 & arrested on suspicion of starting the fire had
been released on bail(保释) until later this month. Parents said the
suspects all attended St Mary’s.
Firefighters were expected to remain at the scene until
late this afternoon. Staff were due to attend the school yesterday
for an inset day, and pupils were to return for lessons after the
holidays today.
Mary`s head teacher Kathy McNicholas fought back the tears as she
watched her school go up in flames last night.
said: ‘This is so upsetting to watch. It`s heart-breaking. It`s
very distressing for the staff and for the children. Everyone had
been looking forward to coming back for the new school year.
Finding somewhere for around 730 children won`t be easy. A few of
the staff have turned up to see if there is anything they can do
and they have all been shocked and saddened by what has happened.
It`s tragic because we have only just had a lot of
refurbishment(翻新) work done to the school during the summer break.
It was a big investment. The community around here very much looks
after its school.’

Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she
can’t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the
escalator（自动扶梯）&in subway
“Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a
place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block
the way with their chunky suitcases or chitchatting on the
escalators during rush hour. It annoys me to no end.”
Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are
much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where
“” signs are often
logic behind the “stand right, walk
left”&escalator&etiquette(礼节)&seems
obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath and just
wait while you’re transported up or down, you should still consider
others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they
can run and catch the train.
cities’ escalators, including London’s and Beijing’s, use the
“stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people.
(Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side
instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on
escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong’s subway stations
there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on
escalators. Even so, most people in this
observe the “stand right, walk
left”&etiquette.
Perhaps this is because those who walk on escalators seem
to have taken the moral high ground and like to accuse those who
block the way of being inconsiderate.

and regularly uses the New York subway. He speaks the mind of many
“Their&presumptuous(专横的)&need for leisure may cause
everyone behind them to miss a train they would have otherwise
caught. Then those people are forced to stand and wait on a subway
platform for many extra minutes. Those are precious minutes of life
that none of us will get back.”
the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the
walkers not to be so impatient. In a recent story
about&escalator&etiquette, the
BBC quotes one stander as saying: “If the person is in such a rush,
why not just take the stairs? Even when

According to Vicky Zhao, which of the following is the
thing she can’t bear?
overcrowded subway trains
people standing on the wrong side of the escalator in
subway stations
not being able to rest on the escalators
living in cities on the mainland

malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones.
Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy
our needs to buy gifts.
the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of
caring, being attentive to the desires of special people in our
lives. However, to use a well-worn play on words: it is our
presence, not our presents that truly counts. Many of us,
unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the presence of our
loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all.
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each
other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on
advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a
time. Whole industries & media, entertainment, education & rely on
the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A

earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated
without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and
balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for
example. Similarly, in bygone times we might have spent a few hours

just wants attention.” people tend to think little of those doing
things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings
need attention, and giving attention to each other is, to a large
extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps
explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as
Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for “micro blogging”,
“idea voicing” and “status updates” & the reality is that we are
often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive
for attention exchange.
friend you, you friend me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The
charming case with which we can now get and give attention is why
many people appear overly attached to their smart phones. It is
also a vicious circle(恶性循环). As ever more people are busy
exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention
to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek
their attention exchange online, or else risk
attention-starvation(hunger).
very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and
there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices.

about every week now, we read a newspaper headline about the
genetic basis for breast cancer, intelligence, or obesity. Such
news stories may lead us to believe our lives are being
revolutionized(变革) by genetic discoveries.
We may be close to changing and getting rid of mental illness, for
example and identify the causes of crime, personality, and other
these hopes, it turns out, are based on faulty assumptions about
genes and behavior.
many cases, people are motivated to accept research claims by the
hope of finding solutions for frightening problems, like breast
cancer. Accepting genetic causes for their characteristics can
relieve guilt about behavior they want to change but can't. Efforts
made to fight against them, at growing expense, have made little or
no visible progress. The public wants to hear that science can
Meanwhile, genetic claims are being made for many ordinary
and abnormal behaviors, from addiction to shyness and even to
political views and divorce. If who we are is determined from
pregnancy（怀孕），then our efforts to
change or to influence our children may be useless. There may also
be no basis for insisting that people behave themselves and obey
laws. Thus, the revolution in thinking about genes has great
consequences for how we view ourselves as human
claims linking emotional disorders and behaviors to genes are
statistical in nature. The research finds are insufficient(not
enough) for deciding that alcoholism or manic-depression( a kind of
mental illness) is inherited(遗传). In the late 1980s,
genes for manic-depression were identified by teams of geneticists.
The claims have now been definitively proved wrong.
Genetic data on the major mental illnesses make it clear
that they can't be reduced to purely genetic causes. According to
Myrna Weissman, Ph.D., Americans born before 1905 had a 1 percent
rate of depression by age 75. Among Americans born a half century
later, 6 percent become depressed by age 24! Similarly, while the
average age at which manic-depression first appears was 32 in the
mid 1960s, its average
today is 19. Only social factors can
produce such large shifts in rate and age of beginning of mental
disorders in a few decades.
Scientists actively debate whether disorders like
alcoholism are more or less biologically driven. If they are mainly
biological—rather than psychological, social, and cultural—then
there may be a genetic basis for them. In 1990, Kenneth Blum,
Ph.D.,of the University of Texas, and Ernest Noble, M.D., of the
University of California, Los Angeles, found a certain gene in 70
percent of a group of alcoholics, but in only 20 percent of a
non-alcoholic group. But in 1993 Joel Gelernter, M.D., of Yale and
his colleagues surveyed all the studies that examined this gene and
alcoholism. Different from Blum and
research, the results were that 18 percent of non-alcoholics, 18
percent of problem drinkers, and 18 percent of severe alcoholics
all had the gene. As for Blum and Noble's work, a more reasonable
model is that genes may affect how people experience alcohol.
Perhaps some people's nerves are more activated by alcohol. But
although genes can influence reactions to alcohol, they cannot
explain why some people continue drinking to the point of
destroying their lives.
Therefore, claims that our genes cause our problems, our
misbehavior, even our personalities are more a mirror of our
culture's attitudes than a window for human understanding and

Hong Kong government is set to overhaul (革新) its immigration policy with the aim of making it
easier for mainland and overseas talents to live and work in the
city. This is a welcome step because it will remove what is widely
seen as a major hurdle to Hong Kong's efforts to attract qualified
immigrants (移民) to help its development.
sustain the growth of the service sector, which makes up nearly 10
percent of Hong Kong's GDP, it is necessary to continuously expand
the group of talents in various fields. Efforts to attract mainland
and overseas talents to Hong Kong are taking on special urgency not
only because of fierce competition from other cities, particularly
Singapore, but also the rapidly aging population resulting from
years of low or negative birthrates.
Kong enjoys certain advantages over many Asian cities in the
competition for talents. Beyond its vibrant economy, underlined by
a free market environment, Hong Kong has a combination of some of
the most distinctive elements of Chinese and Western cultures. Hong
Kong is as exciting as many other Asian boomtowns, and yet it is no
less efficient than a typical European city with a much smaller
population. Housing costs are high, but no higher than those in
other financial centers. For international banks and multinational
corporations, housing costs are a concern only when the opportunity
to make money begins to dry up. And this situation is not happening
in Hong Kong as the local economy, riding the boom on the mainland,
is rapidly expanding.
within this context that the government takes the lead to revise
its immigration policy, which calls for, among other things, the
establishment of a one-stop service center to process all
applications under various migrant schemes. This means that an
applicant will in future need to send in only one form for
processing. Other changes to the policy include the removing of the
age restrictions and lowering of experience requirements. Under the
present scoring system used to vet (审查) applicants, those who are older than 50 and
those with less than five years of work experience win no points in
their respective categories. The details of the proposed changes
have not been announced. But according to a government official
quoted by the local press, the aim is to broaden the number of
qualified applicants.
