The great baseball star told the crowd at Yankee Stadium :” For the past two weeks you have been reading about my bad news .Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.” Many people

21、were moved by his words . The Iron Horse then described his many blessings and fortunes , saying a lot “I m lucky” and “Thats something”.

31、ound 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. Larks or morning people, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night ow

32、ls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving,

33、 were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account.
