| 237 West Palmdale Boulevard Fresno, California 93706 AmToy Corporation Suite 15 TransAm Building San Francisco, California 94115 November 20, 2008 Dear Sirs, As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro—Robo seen in local media is California. Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads(attached to this letter)published the week of November 15. Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way; that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle-class parents. Further, you product is violent in nature. Youth advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them “when you go outside.” This is not a healthy attitude for children to have. I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children. Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Alma Hernandez President, Parents for Non-violent Toys Enc. |

Here is an astonishing and signficant fact:Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered thett blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxing at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours f efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired.
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists. J. A. Hadfield,says,“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares,“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satifaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of nt being appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
1.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A.Fatigue toxinscould hardly be found in a labour’s blood.
B.Albert Eistein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.
C.The brain could wrk for many hours without fatigue.
D.A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
2.According to the authour,which of the following can make sitting worker tired?
A.Challenge mental work.
B.Unpleasant emotions.
C.Endless tasks.
D.Physical labor.
3.What’s the authour’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?
A.He agrees with them.
B.He doubts them
C.He argues against them.
D.He hesitates to accept them.
4.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energic, sitting workers need to ______.
A.have some good blood

Five and a half years ago my father was suddenly rushed to the hospital for an operation. We had 21 idea that he was seriously ill until we were told that the operation did not go well.
