2、 holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs. People with lupus may
3、 first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of pe
4、ople with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they werent treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys.

A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.The cost of producing a new -for example - toothpaste would make 80p the
11、 proper price for it, so we will market it at 1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall.

16、t of it.Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didnt know where to store it until they realized that
17、their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar.

28、for your remarkable achievements in life?”Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller.“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf,you were able to achieve so much?” Ms. Kellers answer is a tribute (致敬) to her kind teacher. “If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name
29、 of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.” According to American speaker Zig Ziglar,Anne Sullivan was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution. Occasionally,Ann
30、e would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence. An elderly nurse believed there was hope,however,and she made it her work to show love to the child. Every day she visited Anne,and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and enc
31、ouragement. She believed Anne could recover,if only she were shown love. Eventually,doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hate,they now noted gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seeming

Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life
