Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.  30  , I wasn’t even sure it was  31 . Was this short-haired businessman really the same person?

But not all scientists are 8 _ that what the mice are doing is 9 singing. To prove it, the researchers must show that there’s learning involved. And, they need to __ 10 why the mice sing.

If you walk through the streets of any big city at six or seven in the morning, the chances are that you will see women hurrying along, pushing prams (婴儿推车). You may see more than one woman 1 on the same door and, as it opens, quickly kiss the child, 2a package of nappies and hurry off down the street to clock on the early shift in an office, leaving their children to a child – minder – a woman who may be doing the job legally or illegally, well or badly. Brain Jackson, director of the Child – minding Researching Unit, and his colleagues have done a great deal of work in finding out 3 it means for a child to spend the first years of life in the care of a child – minder.

Local authorities are responsible for the registration and supervision (监管) of minders. The regulations 6 adequate provision (保障) for fire, safety and health. Very few minders can 7 these. Yet, not many districts give financial assistance. “This means,” Brain Jackson says, “that when you have one registered minder tested and proved by the local authorities, you can be sure that you will get a dozen unregistered, illegal minders 8 .”
The researchers found themselves 9 into the role of private investigators when they conduct their 10 . Getting up early to do a “Dawn Watch” following mothers through cold, dark streets and nothing where they left their babies, Jackson says, was a long, slow process.

In order to improve relationship with others, you need to be aware of several sensible ways to complain. 1 , you need to be specific. Don’t say, “Boy, did you 2 like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting 3 and loud and telling offensive jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you 4 attention from the problem at hand. Moreover, 5 you complain, don’t add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will 6 create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really 7 you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that 8 . Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as 9 . This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.
