W: Hi, Frank! I just saw a program on TV that said that juvenile crime was increasing. And I want to ask your opinion because I know you work with a lot of young people.

M: Well, first... I think the media worsens the problem, and so does the school system. Where I live, we have thousands of security guards in the schools, and metal detectors, too. And the kids get searched as they go into school. Now all of that presents the wrong message. The kids don't feel like they're going to school. They feel like they're going to shool. And so they are more likely to become violent. I think it's a cause-and-effect relationship.

W: So you're saying that the messages kids get from the media, and even from the school, are responsible for making them do bad things?

M: yes, I am. i think that every young person is essentially good. I mean you see students who are violent in class, but put them on a one-to-one basis, and they are usually very friendly. It's not that they're really bad. It's (6) :A (7) :D (8) :A (9) :D

M: But we did say we'd return the questionnaire when we took the samples. And if I do it now I can post it on my way to work. W: Well, write \

M: I'll put \W: No flavor.

W: Fried it like what they said. Took a mouthful and gave it to the cat. M: \

Mothers are increasingly fed up with jobs that do not allow them to spend enough time with their children. So instead, they are starting their own business. The number of women working for themselves has increased by nearly 20% since 2000, according to official figures, and now tops a mil-lion. And an opinion poll commissioned by the government shows that the most significant factor in the increase is a desire among women for a better balance between work and family life. The biggest motivation for doing it a-lone--according to 70% of those polled--was to be able to work more flexibly. Three out of four said that their work and family life balance was better when they ran their own business.

在过去的一个月里，西班牙和意大利都不可思议地下起了大块大块的冰雹。胡安娜·桑切斯是西班牙南部阿尔梅里亚市一名70岁的老太太，她在家附近的一条街上走路时，被一个从空中落下的大冰块砸中了肩膀，昏了过去。1月12号那天，就在离塞维里亚市约200英里处，一个9磅重的大冰球砸到了一辆汽车上，车里的男人险些被砸成重伤。1月27号晚，意大利拉魁拉市慈幼会修道院里传出了一声巨响，惊动了院里的牧师们。循着声音的方向找过去，他们发现一个几乎完整无损、巨大的冰块砸在了他们的院子里。检查发现这个大冰块重达2公斤，但还是不清楚它是从哪儿来的。就在同一天，在意大利安科纳市东北约100英里处。当地官员被要求去调查一个电话报告．该报告称有人被一块显然是从天上掉下来的、重l公斤的冰块砸中了头部。

在1月份遭巨冰袭击的欧洲国家并不只有西班牙和意大利两个国家。l月2号在英国萨里地区(位于伦敦的西南方向)，一个东印度男人正在牛顿运动公园里走路。突然他听到头顶上空传来一声奇怪的呼啸声。几秒钟之后，一个巨大的冰块从朗朗青天上掉了下来，重重地摔到了松软的土地上，整整有50英尺宽面积的土地上满是它的碎渣。地上被砸出了一个深1英尺、直径1英尺的坑。这块冰硕大无比，即使是它的碎渣也有网球那么大，而且据描述它不透明，颜色和气味也没什么不寻常。尽管目击者都说他们没有看到天空中有任何可以解释冰块来源的现象，但是科学家们必须找到其中的原因。地质学家杰西·马丁内斯?弗里亚斯教授告诉英国广播公司新闻频道说，冰块很可能是由于大气中同温层温度突变造成的。他说，这是对这种“极为异常”现象的最可能的解释。 {Page} 考点：词义辨析
