Hello, I am a Chinese teaching English in my home country. I have 2 questions just below, which are taken from the China National College Entrance Examination papers over the past years.

I had her for 10 years, and I did everything possible to try to save her. She struggled for over a week before she finally had to be put to sleep. Can you offer me any solace in my time of grief and sorrow. I feel as if a part of me has died, and I can never get it back.

There are always exceptions to the rule, but you don't see men crying and carrying on because they can't fix something.. or to try and get their way..
Is it society? upbringing? hormones?

A few people have said stop forcing my opinions on others. I am not saying its wrong for them to llisten to it, fine if they like it, but when theres six or seven kids sittin on a bus all playin different mc talky talky "music " who is forcing who to listen eh, not me , and im not on about when their phone rings, they just play it for the fun of it. What would people say if i got on a bus with my stereo and started playing sum guns an roses , id be told to get off the bus wouldnt i . Its the same principle.People have the right to listen to what they want , yes of course they do and i dont mind some dance music but this stuff us not music its just some guy rabbitin on.Oh and i am not old i am 23 but i am sure that every adult on the bus feels the same way, all you have to do is look at their faces an you can tell.

My BF has been acting funny the past few days. He seems distracted, not as loving or attentive, as though he has something weighing on his mind. I have asked him many times what is wrong, and he keeps saying, "Nothing."
Then this morning, he told me he wants to talk to me about something tonight, but won't give details. Now, I'm feeling weird, like he's going to give me some bad news or break up with me or something like that.
I have a MAJOR exam in class this afternoon, that I HAVE to study for all day today, and all I can do is worry about what he's going to tell me tonight. My whole day is ruined over this.

DON'T YOU HATE THAT?

I have a heated pitcher thing from Braun that boils water for teas and stuff...if I boil the water, and let it cool, then put in the fridge, does it remove the harmful bacteria and stuff that water filters are designed to remove?

In France for example,when there is something wrong with the government they always protest wether the reason was their payements,retirement,animals etc.It is pretty much the same in other developed countries over the world.But please tell me,are there any kind of reactions at the starting of the pedophile party in Amsterdam?Why isn't anybody doing something?
I don't want to live in the world where pedophiles will walk freely and do harm to children,do you?
I don't want to find myself 10 years later in a world where pedophiles will talk how they were treated badly or put in prison for no good reason?
And one more thing;I think that there should be a death penalty for pedophiles because they will always remain what they are (scumbags,I would like to use a harder word but Yahoo wouldn't let me) and they will do it again.
Take the case in Belgium,the pedophile was set free after only 2 years(!!!) and he was given a brand new apartment and money (he didn't have to work).He killed again

So many scams around , people looking to make a quick buck , or fortune in some cases.
It seems to be popping up everywhere , I was raised to believe if you want something you must EARN it , and not scam it out of people and make their lives a misery at the same time . Is this the way our society is heading ??

I've read of a few experiments where they were successful in slowing light down, but I was wondering if the change in speed resulted in a proportionate change in force.

A firend of mine asked me to leave comments on his pictures on his web page, anyway i went on and one of the pictures was of him and his girfriend but his girlfrend was showin her a*** (with thong on next to his face)
So the only comment i could think to leave was 'ow look it's twins lol' and then added 'to solve that problem wear a belt.'
I was jokin as i wasnt gonna put anythin like 'fit a***' as i'm not that way lol.
Anyway now he's deleted me, which i find very amusing as it's so pathetic for a 20 yr old to be so immature.
Anyway wot i'm askin is would you take offense baring in mind he actually asked me to make a comment?

Thanx for all answers
