Tears filled my eyes when I stood in our room. I was washing new jeans and a shirt of my 16-year-old stepson, Brett. He drank a lot last night. The clothing was already1. I was very tired. The clothes were just one thing. He had already kicked a large hole 2his bedroom wall. Many windows were3because of his breaking in to steal4to buy what he liked. Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During those5years I had dealt with Brett as6as possible, but inside I was feeling sad. Later, I cheered up again and continued parenting Brett. Still, Brett did not change his behavior.7Brett was nearly 18, my husband and I decided to8Brett to a boarding school that had very good result with troubled teenagers. At the graduation ceremony the graduates stood one by one to9those who had helped them. Each graduate held a10and gave it to the person who had meant the most to him or her.

And I want you to know that I love you for 'it'"14, I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my15and hugged me hard.

For your safety at the zoo, please obey all posted signs and guidelines throughout the zoo.
No Pets
Pets of any kind are not allowed in the zoo area. Also, DO NOT leave pets in your car while you are in the zoo. Service animals like guide dogs are allowed in the zoo. However, they are not permitted in the following areas: the petting zoo, the deer forest, or near the big cat (tigers, lions, cheetahs, etc.) habitats.
Follow the Rules in the Deer Forest
In the deer forest, wait for the deer to come to you. Then try to feel them by gentle touches. Never run after or shout at them as this stresses them out. Animals prefer quiet.
Never Cross Any Fence in the Zoo
Please do not try to touch the animals not in the deer forest or the petting zoo. All animals can bite and their habitats are their homes. This is for the safety of both our visitors and our animals.
Do Not Bring Outside Food for Our Animals
All of our animals' diets include specific foods. Outside food can make them very sick, even if it seems like they could eat it. Feeding the animals is allowed in the petting zoo and the deer forest with food that is provided by the zoo.
Children Must Be Supervised at All Times
Children must be supervised at all times while in all areas of the zoo.
The popularity of online business has risen all over China today. Just when everyone thought Alibaba and JD.com held China's e-commerce market, a dark horse appeared and played a great role in the field of e-commerce.
On July 26, Pinduoduo, an online store, was reported to increase by more than 40% on its first trading day, opening at $19 per American Depositary Share and closing at $26.7 per ADS. Its performance has made Pinduoduo one of top Chinese Internet tech companies like Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com and NetEase. With the Pinduoduo App, people can now buy things at lower prices if they successfully ask friends to buy the same things. There are also free gifts and coupons for getting friends to follow Pinduoduo on social media. The success of Pinduoduo's first appearance suggested the increasing confidence of businessmen in its social e-commerce business model.
However, complaints follow. Some people say that products sold in Pinduoduo are not real or in bad qualities. It has thrown Pinduoduo into the center of a media storm recently. In the face of the problem, Pinduoduo had a meeting in Shanghai on July 31, making it clear that they would make efforts to improve their qualities and services and that there would be no more things in bad qualities sold in Pinduoduo soon.
Michael Zakkonv, vice president of a consulting firm, said, "In the past, one of the reasons why Pinduoduo was able to grow so quickly was that the requirements of products on the app are not so strict as they are on JD.com or Tmall." "If the low requirements continue, it will lead to a bad future. Pinduoduo must solve the problem as soon as possible," he added.
The FDA is the common name for the Food and Drug Administration. It is a government agency that makes consumer goods safe. It regulates food and the food supply. It also controls diet supplement. The FDA also makes sure that drugs and medical instruments are safe and effective.
For drugs and medical machines to be accepted, they must go through a certain process. There are many strict tests. First, anything that humans use must be tested on animals. This may take up to 6 years. Then, it must be tested with a few people. Testing on 15 to 20 people can last up to a year and a half. Third, a mid-sized group (100 to 500 people) is used. This often takes two years. Then a large group is tested over 3 years. Of 5,000 drugs discovered, only 5 go to the final test. Of that, only one passes on to the market.
Food supplements like ginseng follow a different path. The FDA does not test them as they do for drugs. The agency only controls these products if they are unsafe but are already being sold. Two exceptions are baby and medical food. Because those that use them are not strong, the FDA is more careful with these products.
Labeling is a major focus. A label must show what a product is for. For drugs, labels should say the name of the drug and what it is used for. It should also detail who should take it and list any side effects. It needs to detail directions for pregnant women, children, or old people. It also needs to detail safety information.
The FDA protects the public from harm. It achieves this through controls and labeling. It has standards for effectiveness in medical products. It also has standards for how information is shared.
"I can tell you a bit about your uncle if you like," she said aloud. "He lives in a big old house, a long way from anywhere. There are nearly a hundred rooms, but most of them are shut and locked. There's a big park round the house, and all kinds of gardens. Well, your uncle is really ____________. What do you think of that?" "Nothing", replied Mary. "It doesn't matter to me."
Mrs. Medlock laughed. "You're a hard little girl! Well, if you don't care, Mr. Craven doesn't either. He never spends time on anyone. He's got a crooked back, you see, and although he has a lot of money, he was never really happy until he married." "Married?" repeated Mary in surprise. "Yes, he married a sweet, pretty girl, and he loved her deeply. So when she died-" "Oh! Did she die?" asked Mary, interested. "Yes, she did. And now he doesn't care about anybody. If he's at home, he stays in his room and sees nobody. He won't want to see you, so you must stay out of his way and do what you're told." Mary stared out of the train window at the grey sky and the rain. She was not looking forward to life at her uncle's house. The train journey lasted all day, and it was dark when they arrived at the station. Then there was a long drive to get to the house. It was a cold, windy night, and it was raining heavily. After a while, Mary began to hear a strange, wild noise. She looked out of the window, but could see nothing except the darkness.
"What's that noise?" she asked Mrs. Medlock. "It's — it's not the sea, is it?"
"No, that's the moor. It's the sound the wind makes, blowing across the moor."
"What is a moor?"
"It's just miles and miles of wild land, with no trees or houses. Your uncle's house is right on the edge of the moor." Mary listened to the strange, frightening sound. "I don't like it," she thought. "I don't like it." She looked more disagreeable than ever.
