21、e suffer. In the early years of last century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted传播by a germ病菌. He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had had the outer coverings remo
22、ved from the grain, it was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was proved when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on remains from the patientsplates, were also showing signs of the disease.

29、This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and firefighters chasing.Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U. S. 19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.“
30、It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here, said Niki Everitt, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.Brooksvilles bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park.

Frank Phillips of the Brooksville Fire Department.Emergency officials waited until a tranquilizer gun was brought from Land OLakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.It is not unusual
33、for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are 2 years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.“Theyre trying to find a land
34、 of their own, where they wont get beat up, said Lt.

When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail other points of
40、view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an u
41、nwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical符合道义的or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or prey on our vulnerability. Ethical persuasion, h
42、owever, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and prac
