She said to her, "My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens, please don''t bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away.

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I''m coming home, but I''ve a favor to ask. I have a friend. I''d like to bring him home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we''d love to meet him."
"There''s something you should know," the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine（地雷） and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us."
"We''re sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don''t know what you''re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can''t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He''ll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.

Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.
The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.
The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait － in each case, that is more than eight glasses.
There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.
As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.
(3)、The Institute of Medicine usually changes some traditional ideas.
A. 错误
B. 正确

The word "horsepower" was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world''s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.
Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air on one minute. His engine could lift a 33-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.
(3)、He made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse.
A. 错误
B. 正确
