“It a difficult task for China to prevent and control the disease, the government is confident in the fight,” said a Vice-Minister of Agriculture. He gave details of a range of measures designed to the disease spreading. Poultry within 3km of infected farms was to be killed and those within 5km vaccinated(接种疫苗). , there would be constant monitoring(监控) and daily on the disease across the country, and production of bird flu vaccines.
Among the 11 Asian countries and regions by bird flu in animals, only Viet Nam and Thailand had reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have the disease from poultry.
While the World Health Organization said there was proof of human transmission(传播) of bird flu, it admitted that two sisters who died of bird flu in Viet Nam have caught it from their brother.
The big was that the disease could combine with a human flu virus(病毒) to create a deadly disease that would kill millions of people across the . Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell chickens on the market. This greatly increases the of human being infected with bird flu.

When we’re young, we dream of love and fulfillment. We perhaps think of nights in the moon or walks along the beach at sunset.
No one tells us that the moments of a lifetime are flashing by, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.
Not long ago, as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie, I became aware of her look. She was staring at me with a charmed expression. , completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as as we first thought. I asked what she was thinking about.
"Mommy," she , "I just can't stop looking at your pretty face."I almost dissolved on the spot.
Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song us toward a musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as absorbed in the pleasant as I was.
I didn't realize that Sam had next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, " with me."
those women walking under the Paris moon knew the of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth! Although openly laughed and pointed at us as we glided and whirled around the open atrium(中庭), I would not have a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.

Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually every single business and educational outcome for the brain. Why do people have this social about happiness? Because we assumed you were average.
Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story. When we stop studying the average and begin positive outliers — people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence — a different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded (嵌入) in your work. But if you scan it the other way round, you start to acquire an advantage.

On my way to work every day, I drive down a street lined with pine trees. One tree in particular my attention. It must have suffered some . Part of its trunk grew nearly parallel to the ground, and then in an effort to its own course of life, the trunk took a 90 degree turn to stand tall and stretch toward the sun.
Each day as I drove by, I saw this bent but determined tree and I would be . It was a reminder to me that I may not have had the best start in life, I could change in the parts of my life at any time.
I was planning to stop one day to get a perfect of my kindred-spirit (志趣相同的) tree. But that week I was busy. After that week, I still didn’t take any action. Every time I drove by the tree I would myself, “Tomorrow, I’ll stop tomorrow to take one.” Then one day, as I drove by “my” tree, I glanced over, and much to my , I found a sawed-off stump (树桩) where that tree had stood. I had my plan until “tomorrow” and tomorrow proved to be too .
What have you been putting off? What would you do today if you knew you would have the opportunity to do it again? Why not do those things that you have been putting off until tomorrow?
