C. in the 1920s. Lanham, now 54, says his father felt a responsibility t
2、o stay on the land and care for the animals and crops there. To Lanham, that family land was connected with his love for birds. He would spend hours observing birds like the prairie warbler and the bobwhite quail when he was young. Lanham said he believed from a very early age he would be someone wh
3、o studied birds. However, he lost track of that dream on the road to becoming an engineer. Before I left for college, everyone around me said, Youre good at math and science. Be an engineer. Make money, Drew. And for a while, I tried that, but hated every last moment of it, he said. When he took a r
4、eturn trip to the farm, the farm was unrecognizable. All of these wonderful forests that hed grown up in had been cut. But some wildlife remained. I remember the day when I left. I was driving up this dirt road, and the birds were singing Zee, zee, zee, he said. The birds song lit a fire under Lanha
5、m. After his visit back to the farm, he couldnt see himself returning to work as an engineer. Therefore, he got on track to study to become an ornithologist(鸟类学家). Lanham researched the eastern bluebird. The work was often hot and hard and long hours. But there were moments when I would look up and
6、there would be the songs of birds. These moments made me realize that I was doing what I had always dreamed of, he said.

9、e to those in need, but a growing body of research suggests that it could have health benefits for the donor too. Findings have shown that donating blood reduces the risk of heart attacks and even cancer. It even bums quite a bit of energy 650 calories (卡路里) for every pint (568 mL) given. The news c
10、ould come as a promotion (宣传) of British blood banks which use an average of 7,000 units of blood every day. It is thought that the benefits arise from lowering high iron levels. Iron affects how thick and sticky the blood is. High iron levels cause the blood to be thicker. Raised iron levels also k
11、eep blood from flowing smoothly. Because donating blood removes some of its iron, it may therefore have a protective benefit if done on a consistent basis by helping thin the blood. According to a study from the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found that those aged 43 to 61
12、had fewer heart attacks when they donated blood every six months. A study of 2,682 men from Finland found they had an 88 percent reduced risk of heart attacks than those who didnt donate, reported Medical Daily. Likewise, a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute also links i
13、ron to an increased cancer risk. The four-and-a-half-year study involving 1,200 people found those who made blood donations twice a year had a lower risk of cancer and death than those who didnt. However, these benefits depend on making donations on a regular basis, rather than once in a while. Anot
14、her side effect of donating blood is that it can bum a large number of calories too. The University of California in San Diego says that for every one pint of blood donated, 650 calories are burned as the body must fill itselfup. Although this seems to be an attractive effort-free way to lose weight
15、, the NHS Blood and Transplant centre still encourages people to donate for the benefit of others first, rather than for themselves.1.How can giving blood prevent heart disease?A.By keeping blood from flowing fast.B.By increasing bloods thickness.C.By reducing iron in the blood.D.By helping iron wor

I
18、t usually makes me feel calm. But a big part of this depends on what I read. I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons. Very often Im smiling before I go to sleep. I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress. Before we go to sleep, we may run over
19、the day in our minds, and worry about tomorrow. We also may watch the news on TV, read the news on our smart phones or tablets, or even answer work emails. But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告) all the good thats happening in the world and work emails make us feel that were still at work. All these
20、 things may leave us a stressful sleep. Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night. I sometimes read novels but, with the odd exception, I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless its something that inspires me or is clearly he
21、lpful in my life. And even if I do read something mentally stimulating, when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes. Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful nights sleep. Reading about
22、Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me. Id suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime, especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time, or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day. It is the thing that can gently tur
23、n your attention towards lightness and ease. If your material makes you laugh, then you may feel even better. Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain, it strengthens the immune system, its good for the heart, and it is most definitely good for mental health. It even he
