When only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts (矫正器), her precious baby toes just barely visible. Because she was growing, I had to take her back

3、to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.Finally, the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps appeared quite no

4、rmal. Encouraged by her progress, we looked for something else to help strengthen her lower body.When she turned six, we signed her up for skating lessons and soon she was sliding like a swan. We watched in amazement as she skated on the ice. She wasnt a perfect skater and she had to work hard at ev

5、ery new movement, but she loved the ice and her hard work paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pairs-skating and the ladies singles at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events!

6、selves filled with love and admiration in France, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi, won the gold medal.We were proud of Kristi, respecting her strength and hard work, and how far she had come on two tiny feet that had once been in heavy casts.

10、st plans, though, pets can get lost in a natural disaster. Animal rescue organizations like ASPCA see an increase in lost animals after storms.Some pets get frightened and run away. Others hide in places where their owners cant find or reach them. Then, in the confusion of an evacuation, they get le

11、ft behind. “We strongly suggest families should not evacuate without their pets. If its too dangerous for you, its too dangerous for your pet,” says Tim Rickey, vice president of Field Investigations and Response at the ASPCA. An owners first and best defense against losing a pet is to have the anim

12、al microchipped (植入芯片) and registered. The cost of a microchip is around $50. Any vet (兽医)can put the microchip under the pets skin. Owners can then register the pet with the company that makes the microchip. Theres also a “universal” database (数据库)that will search all of the different chip companie

13、s. The human just has to provide contact information for the pet in the chips database, and then keep that information current. “All too often, people change phone numbers or they move, but they dont remember to update their pets information,” Rickey says.Other ways Rickey recommends depend on an ow

14、ners knowledge of their pet. Does Fido or Fluffy tend to make a run for it when they get frightened? Then it might be time to buy an extra-strong leash and collar, and keep an extra-close watch.

18、(流媒体），has overturned the television industry and forced Hollywood companies like Disney to rethink their business model. And an increasing number of customers cut the cord from cable providers.But its not everywhere. Unlike Americans, Europeans are signing up for more cables and satellites than ever

19、 before. The market share of pay-TV in Britain will go beyond that in America this year, according to Ampere Analysis, a research company. In France and Germany it already has.What has happened to American media missed Europe. But why? One reason is price. Americas cable industry may look competitiv

20、e: the largest player, Comcast, has only a quarter of the market. But because it is highly localized, most homes have few choices, says Richard Broughton of Ampere. As a result, the average monthly cable cost is close to S100. British homes pay less than half the amount.A second factor is content. A

21、merican cable TV is running out of shows as studios move their best ones to their own streaming platforms(平台）. In Europe, where some streamers have yet to broadcast, pay-TV companies preserve the rights to many of the most popular titles.The last reason Europe still favors cable is that American str

22、eamers are partnering with European pay-TV companies rather than competing with them.

They are the ones with access to customers and the ability to deal with local mark

23、eting and ad sales.Will cord-cutting eventually cross the Atlantic?

Take US photographer Irving Penn

29、(19172009) for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published a series of food shots taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully placed salad or the series of cakes on stands, it would be easy to think Penns 73-year-old photos were taken just last week.Penns efforts aside, it seems that social media is behi

30、nd the recent rise of foodtography. Today, if a social media star with thousands of followers posts just one delicious-looking food picture and mentions where it was taken, it can lead to hundreds of new customers for the restaurant or cafe. One such star is Clerkenwell Boy, based in London, whose I

31、nstagram account is followed by over 100,000 people.Yet with popularity, the social media star tries to use his influence for good by encouraging people not to waste food. Research carried out earlier this year by UK supermarket chain Sainsburys, published in The Guardian found that 55 percent of th

32、e 18 to 34-year-olds it surveyed were more likely to try unusual recipes to create Instagram-friendly dishes than others, leading to increased food waste. I hate it like a huge pile of seven burgers photographed just for likes. Are they going to just throw that away now? Clerkenwell Boy told The Gua

36、new review of research about good moods（心情）and physical activity, people who work out even once a week or for as little as 10 minutes a day tend to be more cheerful than those who never exercise.

37、f past studies have noted that physically active people have much lower risks of developing anxiety than people who rarely move. But that research centered on the relationship between exercise and mental problems. Fewer past studies explored links between physical activity and positive emotions, esp

38、ecially in people who already were mentally healthy, and those studies often looked at a single age group or type of exercise.So for the new review, researchers at the University of Michigan decided to collect and analyze various past studies of working out and happiness. They began by combing resea

39、rch databases for relevant studies. Most of those were observational, meaning that the scientists simply looked at a group of people, asking them how much they worked out and how happy they were. A few of the studies were experiments in which people started exercising and researchers measured their

40、happiness before and after. The number of participants（参与者）in any one study was often small, but together, they represented more than 500,000 people ranging in age from teenagers to the old.For most of them, the Michigan researchers found, exercise was strongly linked to happiness. Every one of the

46、we have all had a long time to reflect on just how lucky we are to have had this amazing man in our lives for so many years.My dad had a great influence on my drive. When I was a kid, he never let me put very little effort into things I was good at, and he always pushed me to try things I hated. He

47、modeled an amazing work ethic（道德准则）as one of the hardest-working and most respected lawyers in Seattle.My dads influence on our philanthropy（慈善行为）was just big. Throughout my childhood, he and my mom taught me by example what generosity looked like in how they used their time and resources. The Bill

48、& Melinda Gates Foundation would not be what it is today without my dad. More than anyone else, he shaped the values of the foundation.Finally, my dad had a positive influence on my most important roleshusband and father.
