    Recently, David Deutchman, an 82-year-old man, was nicknamed "the ICU Grandpa" at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital. For 12 years or so, he has been 1 babies, children there.

    Deutchman said he was coming to the 2 for a recovery after a running injury 12 years ago when he first 3 some of the patients' mothers. From conversations with them, he 4 that he wanted to make more connection with parents and children being5 at the hospital. Therefore, he started 6 at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital after he retired from a job in international business marketing.

    He 7 babies and sometimes he even gets peed(小便)on, but he is 8 to carry on. "It's been wonderful because it gives me something to do that has 9 to it. Every day I drive in here, I don't know which kids and parents I'll 10 and what the issues will be and how I can help, but I 11 it. You just can't imagine the kind of 12 that I can get from holding a baby and talking with parents", he said.

    In the ICU, there are only two to three new admits every night so the first thing he will do is to 13 the parents who have been admitted the previous night. "Usually they needed a 14 after a whole night. And I make sure they can go down for breakfast and I'll stay with the 15 until they get back," he said.

    MaryBeth Brulette, the mother of baby Logan, has been at the hospital for six weeks. On a recent morning, she returned to the hospital to find Logan in Deutchman's 16. Seeing this, she said, "All my 17 was gone."

    Elizabeth Mittiga, an ICU nurse at the hospital, said that the staff 18 Deutchman's calming presence and appreciated Mr. Deutchman's 19 to his cause. He's a great help to babies in the ICU care. He's just a really special person to us, as nurses, and the babies just adore him.

    "Right now, I'm still going strong and enjoying it an awful lot," he said. "So as long as they'll have me, I'll be there." What an outstanding human being! Truly, Mr. Deutchman is the typical example of a 20 man with a sincere desire to make his life worthwhile by helping others.

    Why YOUR keyless car could be gone in 23 seconds: It's a crime wave reaching high proportions and the gadgets(小装置) used to hack into your car and steal it are being sold to thieves by High Street locksmiths.

    Car thieves are using high-tech gadgets to break into and steal cars in seconds. One thief stands by a house to pick up a signal from a car key using a relay. The relay broadcasts the signal to the car, where a second thief opens the door. The scheme, which does not involve breaking windows, steals cars in seconds.

    Thousands of cars across Britain are at risk of a new form of high-tech theft which allows thieves to fool bypass the security systems in keyless cars using a relay system to boost the signal. So-called 'relay' theft occurs when two thieves work together to break into keyless cars. They use equipment to capture electro-magnetic signals emitted by key fobs. Any vehicle with keyless entry could be easily stolen. These include cars from BMW, Ford, Audi, Land Rover, Volkswagen and Mercedes.

    Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th-century literature, but was also a pack rat. He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets, leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author. 

    "Ernest Hemingway: Between Two Wars", which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum, is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work. The largest and most interesting section focuses on the '20s, Hemingway's Paris years, and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting: Hemingway before he became Hemingway.

    The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded, manly, Hem. He's shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat, the Pilar, with Carlos Gutiérrez, the fisherman who became the model for The Old Man and the Sea. But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome, clean-shaven, 19-year-old standing on crutches. This is from the summer of 1918, when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction.

    The evidence at this exhibition suggests that, in the early days, he often wrote in pencil, mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand. The first draft of the short story Soldier's Home was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office. The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald(some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view)famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of The Sun Also Rises, complaining about the "elephantine facetiousness" of the beginning, and Hemingway obliged, getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost "meta". In 1929, in a nine-page penciled critique, Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway took some of these, but less graciously, and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end.

    The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself. There are running lists of stories he kept fiddling with, and there are lists and lists of possible titles, including the 45 he considered for Farewell and 47 different endings for the novel.

    In display case after display case, you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself, discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be. In a moving 1925 letter to his parents, who refused to read In Our Time, his second story collection, he writes: "You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across—not just to describe life—or criticize it—but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. "

    By the time the Second World War broke out, Hemingway had solidified into the iconic figure we now remember: Papa. Even J. D. Salinger calls him this. And a blustery, cranky Hemingway appears in 1949 when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross, the editor of The New Yorker, complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of Across the River and into the Trees, not, in truth, a very good book. But, Hemingway, often drinking and depressed, didn't know it, his best work was behind him by then.

    Light and bright, cheap and cheerful: IKEA's 400-plus outlets(专营店)in 49 countries all run on the same central principle. Customers do as much of the work as possible, in the belief they are having fun and saving money. You drive to a distant warehouse, built on cheap out-of-town land. Inside, you enter a maze(迷宫)—no shortcuts allowed—where every twist reveals new furniture.

    Compared with the prices of other outlets, IKEA's are much lower. You load up your trolley with impulse(冲动)buys—a clock, storage boxes, tools and more chairs than you will ever use. You drag cardboard boxes, cupboards and tables into your car and reward yourself for your economy and good taste. Then you drive home and put your prizes together. You are satisfied with the bargains. IKEA is satisfied with your money.

    The company's name was a do-it-yourself job, too. IKEA stands for Ingvar Kamprad, from Elmtaryd—his family's farm—in Agunnaryd. That village is in the Smaland region of southern Sweden. Mr Kamprad founded IKEA aged 17. Well before that, he spotted a principle which would make him one of the richest men in the world: that customers like buying goods at wholesale prices(批发价). First he bought matches in large quantities and sold them by the box. Aged ten, he sold pens in the similar way.

    Drawbacks inspired him. Facing a price war against his low-cost mail-order furniture business, he defeated competitors by opening a showroom. Dealers tried to crush Mr Kamprad and banned him from their trade fairs. He slipped in, hiding in a friend's car. When they tried to threaten his suppliers, he relied on his own workers, and secretly sold his production to communist Poland. Decades later, east Europeans freed from the planned economy drove hundreds of miles to newly opened outlets in Moscow and Warsaw.

    His self-discipline was world-famous. As a child, he removed the "off" button from his alarm clock to stop himself oversleeping. He rarely took a first-class seat. The wine didn't get you there any earlier, he sniffed; having lots of money was no reason to waste it. He bought his clothes in second-hand markets, and for years drove an elderly Volvo until he had to sell it on safety grounds. He had his haircut in poor countries to save money. Visitors admired the views, but were surprised that his house was so shabby. He worked well into his eighties.

    His industry and simple way of life set a good example to his 194,000 "co-workers". But he was not mean. The point of cutting costs was to make goods affordable, not to compromise quality. He urged his staff to reflect constantly on ways of saving money, time and space. An improved design that allows easier piling means shipping less air—and more profit.

    Culture was more important than strategy. He disliked "exaggerated(言过其实的)planning", along with financial markets and banks. Better to make mistakes and learn from them. And use time wisely: "You can do so much in ten minutes. But ten minutes once gone are gone for good." This did not apply to customers. The longer they stayed the better.

    Mr Kamprad's impact on modern life can be compared with that of Henry Ford and the mass-produced motor car. Furniture used to be expensive, dark and heavy. For many people, decorating a home could cost many months' salary. IKEA made furniture not just affordable and functional, but fun. The mission was civilizational, he felt, changing how people lived and thought.

    His approach drew some fire. The company values struck some as unpleasant. At IKEA's Corporate Culture Centre, lots of pictures of Mr Kamprad with his mottos can be seen everywhere. What's worse, some parts of the supply chain seemed to have serious problems to overcome.

    For many students, preparing for an exam involves last-minute efforts of intense cramming(死记硬背),but getting ready for an exam is not all about studying.

    There are other important things a student can do to ensure his success on an exam, such as maintaining a positive state-of-mind and good physical health. Just as an athlete prepares for a game or a race with a regimen of mental and physical exercises, a student has to do everything he can to be ready for an exam. Here are a few things you absolutely have to do when preparing for an exam.

    A few days before the exam, you want to complete all of the main reading assignments for your course and make notes for yourself. That means reading lecture notes, revising past assignments, and books that are relevant to the upcoming examination. By doing this, you will be able to understand the major concepts in the course that you have to understand to pass your exam. Moreover, revising course notes helps you to understand what has been taught, which places you in a better position to answer any question you might come across. Should you come across a concept that you do not understand, approach your instructor or fellow students, and ask them for assistance? Ask them to help you understand the concepts so that if they come up in the exam, you will not struggle to answer them.

    Knowing the key concepts of this course, the next step is to develop a realistic study timetable. Coming up with a schedule you can stick to is one of the best exam preparation approaches you can use. With a realistic schedule, you know how much time you will spend reading up on a course or a concept. A timetable arranged around eight hours of continuous studying, for instance, is not realistic. Very few students are capable of concentrating for long durations, and even fewer are capable of internalizing information gathered during long study sessions, especially if they use digital technology in their studies.

    While the majority of study advice guides focus on how to prepare mentally for an exam, getting the rest of your body into the mood is equally important. Physical and mental readiness will give you the extra energy you need to take a long test. One great way to prepare your body for an exam is by listening to music. You can listen to your favorite songs while showering or when commuting to the exam location. Scientific studies show that music improves recall and memory encoding by binding information with auditory input.

    One of the tips before an exam students often ignore is wearing the appropriate clothes. While choosing what to wear on exam day, think about the weather. You're most likely going to be seated for a couple of hours during the exam. During this time, you shouldn't have to put up with uncomfortable temperatures occasioned by the clothes you wear. The right clothing safeguards against distractions, allowing you to concentrate fully on the job at hand.

    Hermit crabs are nature's recyclers. They eat waste and help keep oceans and shores clean. Unlike other crabs, the hermit crab has a thin outer shell over its soft tail. This makes the hermit crab easy prey for hungry predators (天敌). Hermit crabs stay safe by living in old seashells. A hermit crab is picky(狡猾); it tries on many shells until it finds one that fits just right. In recent years, however, many hermit crabs have had trouble finding their perfect homes. Now the problem is that there are not enough shells to go around!
