12、nd competitive, he wasnt present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. My father never took me to the football or taught me to change a tyre. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usually be the food menu. He was
13、 a model of a different kind of maleness.But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience (恢复).He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other.

20、 needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech
21、engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with another method that uses “microneedles”.

22、s. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said theyd rather use them again than get a tradi
23、tional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low- and middle-income - 5 -countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by.

German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focu
30、s on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves
31、the countrys most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school.

The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting.
