Clint typed on long paper and took the phone every five minutes.Mark got bored asked, "How did you become a secretary?" Clint turned and smiled at him. "It was an accident." Did you want to be a secretary when you were a kid?"No. I wanted to build swimming pools." "What happened?" "I dont know. I almost failed my exams school, then went to college, then went to law school." You have to go to law school to be a secretary in a law office?" No. I failed the exams in law school, and Reggie gave me a job. Its fun, most of the time."Where did you meet Reggie?"Its a long story. We were friends in law school. Weve been friends for a long time. Shell probably tell you about it when you meet Momma Love, Reggies mother. They live together, and she loves to cook for the kids Reggie represents. She makes all kinds of delicious Italian food. Everyone loves it. Reggie takes most of her clients home, especially the younger ones."The phone rang. Clint took the message and returned to his typewriter. Mark watched carefully.How did you learn to type so fast? The typing stopped, and he slowly turned and looked at Mark. He smiled, and said, ”In high school. I had this teacher who was like a sergeant. We hated her, but she made us learn. Can you type?”“A little. I’ve had three years of computer at school.”Clint pointed to his Apple next to the typewriter. “We’ve got all sorts of computers around here.” Mar looked at it, but was not impressed. Everybody had computers. So how did you become a secretary?“It wasn’t planned. When Reggie finished law school, she didn’t want to work for anybody, so she opened this office. It was about four years ago. She needed a secretary, and I volunteered. Have you seen a male secretary before?”“No. Didn’t know men could be secretaries. How’s the money?Clint laughed at this. “It’s okay. If Reggie has a good month, then I have a good month. We’re like partners.”Does she make a lot of money?“Not really. She doesn’t want a lot of money. A few years ago she was married to a doctor, and they had a big house and lots of money. Everything was lost, and she blames the money for most of it. She’ll probably tell you about it. She’s very honest about her life.“She’s a lawyer and she doesn’t want money?”“Unusual, isn’t it?” “I’ll say. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of lawyer shows on television, and all they do is talk about money.”
No living thing or group of living things can live and grow in iso-lation. All organisms, both plants and animals, need1 energy to develop and all species of living things influence the lives of others. Ecology is a science. It studies how plants, ani¬mals and other living things live in relation to each other and to their environment. People have always studied living things in their natural environment, in other words, they have al¬ways studied the air, the water, the soil and all the other things that surround a person, animal or plant. The environment can in¬fluence the growth and health of living things. Ecologists also study what happens to different species. They collect information about their population number, diet, form, size and behaviour. Ecology is one of the most important sciences nowadays. It teaches us how to survive in the modern world.

Нужен перевод H. Wired for music? It might seem logical to believe that our appreciation of music is learned - that nurture, not nature, determines this. However, it is now clear that nature also plays a role; recent studies indicate that the human brain is"wired" for music. At the University of Toronto, Canada, psychologists have been studying infants age 6-9 months. Surprisingly, these babies smile when researchers play consonant(pleasant) music but they appear to hate dissonant music. As adults, most people can remember only a few poems or pieces of prose but have the capacity to remember at least dozens of musical tunes and to recognize hundreds more. Even more interesting, perhaps, is the possibility that music might actually improve some forms of intelligence. A 1999 study proves that music can help children do better at math - not, oddly, other subjects, just math. It is probably not surprising that much of the brain activity that involves music takes place in the temporal lobes. It may be more surprising to learn that the corpus callosum might also be involved. Researchers at Medical Center in Boston have discovered that the front part of the corpus callosum is actually larger in musicians than in non-musicians.
