以下内容由⽆忧考整理发布，欢迎阅读参考！更多相关讯息请关注⽆忧考！技巧⼀在解题过程中，⾸先要正确判断是不是定语从句，若是疑问句要将其恢复为陈述句，尤其注意标点符号、和是否已有并列连词(如but, and)和从属连词如(if, when)，还要注意是否是强调结构。
如：1. John invited about 40 people to his wedding, most of ______ are family members.A. themB. thatC. whichD. whom分析：答案为D。
注意，定语从句修饰的先⾏词是people不是wedding，所以不能选C，因为which⽤于指⼈；关系代词that不能直接⽤于介词后作宾语，故排除B；them不是关系代词，不能引导定语从句，故可排除A（注：若在most of前⾯有并列连词and，则只能选A）。
句意为：约翰邀请了40个⼈来参加他的婚礼，其中⼤多数都是家属。
注意：假若此题在逗号后加⼀个连词 and，则答案就不能选 D，⽽应选 A。
2. He may win the competition, ______ he is likely to get into the national team.A. in which caseB. in that caseC. in what caseD. in whose case分析：答案为A。

My-Big-Fat-Greek-Wedding-----电影介绍
My Big Fat Greek Wedding(Comedy) (2002)© 2003 by Raymond WeschlerMajor CharactersToula Portokalos…………………………………….Nia VardalosA 30 year old woman who lives with her crazy parents in Chicago andworks in the family’s Greek restaurant. She is sad, single and goingnowhere in life until she goes back to school, gets another job, and mostimportantly, meets Ian.Ian Miller………………………………………………John CorbettA young Chicago high school teacher who is smart, fun and looking forlove, and who is perfect for Toula, except for one thing---He’s not Greek. Gus……………………………………………………..Michael ConstantineToula’s Greek-American father who is convinced that almost all humanaccomplishments come from Greek culture, and thus Toula must marrya nice Greek boy. Maria……………………………………………………Lainie KazanToula’s mom, who spends much of her time helping take careof the family restaurant and feeding her huge family. Nick……………………………………………………..Louis MandylorToula’s younger brother, who loves to play practical jokes.Aunt Voula…………………………………………….Andrea MartinToula’s closest aunt, who offers her a job in her travel agency.Plot SummaryThis film is a sweet look at the American immigrant family, and specifically, the tension that has existed between many immigrant parents who want their children to marry a person from their own ethnic background, and those children who find partners from elsewhere in the great American “melting pot.”Specifically, it is the story of Toula, a 30 year old woman who lives with her Greek parents in their comfortable Chicago home, but who is sad and lost, in part because she thinks she’s too old and unattractive to ever find a husband. One day she decides she cannot work forever in her parents Greek restaurant, so she returns to school to study computers, gets a job in her Aunt Voula’s travel agency, learns to effectively use makeup, and then meets Ian, a warm and charming vegetarian high school teacher. Soon after, Ian and Toula fall in love and decide to get married.Gus has a hard time accepting that his oldest daughter is going to marry a long-haired American with no Greek background, but after Ian agrees to become an official member of the Greek Orthodox Church, Gus has no choice but to accept him into his family. Soon, all of Toula’s relatives, including her parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and 27 cousins, are preparing for a traditional Greek wedding, with Ian and his very conservative parents soon caught up in all the love and insanity that such an event produces.A note on the language used in this film: Toula’s parents and aunt are first generation Americans, and as such, they often speak English with charming but incorrect grammar. Some of these mistakes are pointed out in the glossary, but regardless, you should be aware that a lot of what is said is not standard English. There are also quite a few times when Greek words are used, but they are only noted in the glossary when they are considered important to the film or of more general interest to ESL learners.The use of asterisks (*): If a line from the film has an asterisk at the end of it, this means the words were spoken in Greek and subtitled in English.Some Words and Expressions that You May not KnowToula tells us of her loud and crazy Greek-American family,and of her life going nowhere as a 30 year old single woman.The other girls were blond and delicate,and I was a swarthy six year old with sideburns.If a girl is “delicate,” she is pleasing to look at. A person who is “swarthy”has dark colored skin or complexion, like people from the Mediterranean.“Sideburns” refer to hair that grows down the face, in front of the ears.

When I was your age, we didn’t have food.Note that mothers are always telling their young kids to not “play withtheir food” at the dinner table, but the second line is clearly not true!Our house was modeled after the Parthenon, completewith Corinthian columns and guarded by statues of the Gods.If a building is “modeled after” another one, it’s made to look similar to it.The “Parthenon” is a famous structure that was built in Ancient Greece, in Athens. “Corinthian columns” refer to thick white posts that were used to make buildings in Corinthian society, which was part of ancient Greece. In case the neighbors had any doubts about our heritage,they could just check out our subtle tribute to the Greek flag.In this case, a person’s “heritage” is their ethnic background, or morespecifically, where their parents or grandparents had come from.“To check out” something is to explore or look at it. “Subtle” is a keyword that means not obvious or difficult to notice or understand(Here, though, the word is being used sarcastically).He believed that any ailment, from psoriasisto poison ivy, could be cured with Windex.An “ailment” is a disease or medical problem. “Psoriasis” is a skin disease and “poison ivy” is a very itchy skin condition caused by touching apoisonous plant. “Windex” is a well known brand of window cleaner.

She has a very mean punch.If a person has a “mean punch,” they arestrong and can hit with great force.Here I am…thirty and way past my expiration date.An “expiration date” is the date that a product is considered no longergood or useable. It usually refers to milk or food, and not people! What’s up?A common and colloquial way of greeting a person if you havenot seen them for a while. An alternative to “what’s new in life?”She was supposed to come and curl my hairs.“To curl” hair is to shape it into a curved or circular shape (Note that inEnglish, hair is almost never used in the plural, though given this common mistake in Toula’s family, it apparently is in Greek).My brother has two jobs; To cook and to marry a Greek virgin.An important word for a person who has never had sexual intercourse.If nagging was an Olympic sport, my aunt Voula would have a gold medal.“To nag” is an excellent verb meaning to annoy, bother or harass.

When a priest“blesses” a house, he officially asks God to take good care of it.Now I have to go open the travel agency becausesome jack-off and his big-assed girlfriend are too busy!As a noun, a “jack-off” is a rare but fun word for a jerk, idiot, etc.,although as a verb, “to jack-off” is a common and slangy way of saying to masturbate. If a person is “big-assed,” they, have, of course, a large butt! Do you know who’s at the dry cleaners?A store where clothes are cleaned in a way that does not use water. Angelo, bite me! :: Disgusting, be a lady!“Bite me” is a silly way of expressing anger or frustration with a person.“Disgusting” is a powerful adjective meaning very unpleasant, offensive, repulsive or more colloquially, gross.No more fun and games.What you would tell a person who you feel has not beenacting seriously enough or working hard enough.And the pizza for the buffet!A “buffet” is a meal that is served on an open table,where people serve themselves to various dishes.I want to drive. :: You’re driving me crazy!What you say to a person who is very much annoying or bothering you.

Man, you’re tough. :: I’m giving a test on Hamlet, but I give fair warning.In this case, if a person is “tough,” they are mean or even scary. “Hamlet”is a famous play by Shakespeare, and if a person gives you “fairwarning,” they tell you of the possible dangers so that you can prepare. You like this, pops, for the new menu?A slangy way of addressing your dad.Dad, I’ve been going through our inventory and I’venoticed that we’re doing a lot of unnecessary ordering.In a business context, “inventory” refers to the supplies that a companyorders and has in stock. Here, “ordering” refers to company purchases. Maybe we should update our system.“To update” a computer system is to make it asmodern as possible, or literally, to bring it up to date.I got all As in computers, but there’s a lot of new stuff to learn now.Here, “As” refer to the letter grade in school. “Stuff” is a widely usedword for things in general, though here it refers to computer technology. You have a spirit. You want to see things, you want to learn.In this case, a “spirit” is a lively or energetic attitude toward life.Dad is so stubborn.

Somebody will say “Take this bag down to the bus depot.”A “bus depot” is the same as a big bus station (and in some majorAmerican cities, it is the place where people sell illegal drugs).And I teach Sunday school!School that children attend on Sunday mornings, usually to learn abouttheir parent’s religion (so that, of course, it will become their religion).Lucky for me, I have you to tie my shoes!“To tie” your shoes is to the only verb to use when describing the actionof making knots for your shoelaces, to keep your shoes on your feet.

You’re that waitress! :: Seating hostess, actually.A “hostess” in a restaurant is a person who escorts people to their tables.I was kind of going through a phase, up until now.“To go through” something is to experience it, often with great suffering.“A phase” is usually a short and separate period of time when a person is acting in a way they don’t normally (although in this case, Toula is saying that this phase lasted the first 30 years of her life!).I don‘t remember “Frump Girl,” but I remember you.This expression doesn’t really exist, but if a girl is “frumpy,”she is usually plain looking and dressed poorly.I’m taking a pottery class.The art of making pots, bowls and other tools that are made from clay. My mom makes roast lamb. :: With mint jelly?“Roast lamb” is a favorite Greek dish of slowly cooked meat.“Mint jelly” is a type of soft gelatin that is used as a sauce.My aunt Voula forks the eyeball and chases me aroundto make me eat it because it gonna make me smart.Although rare, the verb “to fork” means to stick or stab with a fork(In this case so Aunt Voula can scare Toula with the horrible sight of aneyeball stuck to the fork).I have 27 first cousins alone…and my whole family is big andloud and everybody’s always in each other’s lives and business.A “first cousin” is the child of one of your parent’s brothers or sisters(A second cousin is more distantly related). If people are “in each other’sbusiness,” they’re too interested in other people’s personal lives.Greeks marry Greeks to breed more Greeks, to be loud, breeding Greek eaters.“To breed” is a scientific word meaning to reproduce or have children. You’re wonderful, but I don’t see how this is going to work out.If a situation “works out,” it goes well for all involved.What’s to work out? We’re not a different species.“Species” is a scientific word that refers to the division of animals intogroups (For example, humans, dogs and bears are from different species). We come from different backgrounds….In this context, “background” refers to ethnic origin (Greek, German, etc.) You’ve got a weird family---who doesn’t?“Weird” is an excellent word for strange or bizarre. “Who doesn’t it?” is a clever way of responding to a person who is depressed that they have astrange family. This same type of question can be used in many contexts(“Sure, I’m completely insane, but who isn’t?”).I’m the least of your worries. :: Listen, the family knows.If a person tells you that they are “the least of your worries,”they are saying that you have a lot of other very big problems.Vikki Paulopolis saw you sucking the lipsoff his beard in the Denny’s parking lot.“Sucking the lips off his beard” is Nikki’s ridiculous way of saying thatToula was kissing Ian passionately. Denny’s is a well-known restaurant. She told her ma, who told your ma… Let me put it this way---You’re busted.“Ma” is a dated word for mom. In this case, “to put it this way” means to say or explain it in a certain way. If a person is “busted,” they have beencaught doing something illegal or wrong and are thus in deep trouble. You sneak around all over Chicago, but you nevercome here to ask me, can you date my daughter?“To sneak around” is to continue moving in a secretive way so as not tobe caught or seen. “To date” a person is to go out with them romantically, (Note that Gus fails to use indirect speech correctly; “….you never comehere to ask me if you could date my daughter).A nice Greek boy? No, no Greek. A xeno!A xeno with big long hairs on top of his head!“Xeno” means foreigner in Greek. It is not a word in English, butit is the root of some important English words, such as xenophobia(fear of foreigners). Note that the word hair rarely takes a plural ‘s’!It means orange, like the one that you peel, not the color.“To peel” a fruit is to take off its skin.Didn’t you once have a Greek receptionist?A person who answers phones and greets clients in an office.Is Armenia close to Greece? :: Not exactly.A small country East of Turkey (Greece is West of Turkey).Who?! :: My secretary, for heaven’s sake!A somewhat dated way of expressing frustration, anger or other emotion. Oh, that’s right. She was Guatemalan.A person from Guatemala, which is a small country in Central America.Is he from a good family? Is he respectful? I don’t know.If a person is from a “good family,” this generallymeans they are educated and at least middle class.My daughter engaged to a xeno.To be “engaged” to a person is to be officially planning to marry them.I always think she’s going to be married in the Greek Orthodox Church.The official Church of Greece to which most Greeks belong.Sometime the roof is so big that the roof can’t support itself so it collapses.If a building collapses, it caves in on itself or physically breaks down.Can we go to Vegas, or Niagara Falls or Fiji?Three places where people can get married fast and cheap, although onlyLas Vegas is famous for this (Niagara Falls is a beautiful waterfall between New York State and Canada, and Fiji is a small island in the Pacific Ocean). Our wedding should be this joyous thing, but itwon’t be for them, because it can’t be in our church.If something is “joyous,” it is filled with great happiness.Why do you love me? :: Because I came alive when I met you.In this context, “to come alive” is to find arenewed sense of energy and happiness.We’re not going to skulk off and get married, as if we’re ashamed of ourselves.“To skulk off” is to leave or move in a secretive manner, as if theperson is ashamed or wants to hide, but this verb is fairly rare.Ian joins the Greek Orthodox Church, and thuswins over the hearts of most of Toula’s family.So, you’re going to be baptized tomorrow.“To baptize” a person is to make them spiritually pure in a Churchceremony. Usually, it’s babies and young children who get baptized. Nikki’s going to be your godmother.A woman who sponsors a child at a baptism, or more generally, a closefamily friend who supports and inspires a child as they grow up.That’s where we dip the baby in a beautiful, little silver basin.“To dip” something is to lower it, and a “basin” is a shallowbowl or container that is used for holding water to wash.Are you kidding? Any minute he’s going to lookat me and go “Right, you’re so not worth this.”“To kid” about something is to joke around or not be serious about it.Note that here, “so” functions as an intensifier like totally or absolutely. Happy Easter.The Christian holiday which celebrates Jesus’resurrection, or rising from the dead (in theory!).“When my people we’re writing philosophy,your people were still swinging from trees.”*This is a funny line that shows how chauvinistic or overly proud Gus is of his Greek roots. “To swing” between trees is to sway or move back andforth between them while hanging on to a rope or other material.You turn their brains to mush.A good word for something soft and shapeless like thick soup orcornmeal. Here, it means crushed (brain) matter without the ability tothink, but it can refer to nonsense words or overly sentimental emotion. I’ll get you some earplugs, because the Portokaloswomen, if they’re not nagging somebody, they die.“Earplugs” are little devices put in the ear to keep noise from botheringyou. “To nag” a person is to constantly bother or annoy them, usually by constant talking, complaining or criticizing.Jesus, it’s just a joke.A common way to express surprise, frustration or other emotion. Yeah, I’ve got a gun, and I swear I’ll jam it right up …Ian, I got you again.“To swear” to do something is to promise to do it. “To jam” an object into something else is to force it in, often violently. Note that here, theversatile verb “to get” is used to mean to fool, or make to look stupid.I could snap you like a chicken!“To snap” a bone is to break it forcefully into two pieces.Come on, lighten up. :: I’ll lighten up when I take out your kidneys.If you tell a person to “lighten up,” you’re telling them to stop taking lifeso seriously, or perhaps to relax. A person’s “kidney” is a critical organthat is used to help the body get rid of waste products like urine.We set a day for the big day.“To set” a day for an event is to officially schedule it for that day. “The big day” refers to any important event, in this case, Ian and Toula’s wedding. The North Shore Country Club, for the wedding, of course.A “Country Club” is a building on a golf course, often where richand conservative people come to eat and celebrate various events.She tends to save things. This is from her prom.If a person “tends to” do something, she generally does it quite often.A “prom” is a large and important dance that is held for high schoolseniors just before they finish school.The Parthenon backdrop is optional.The Parthenon is a famous building in Athens. The “backdrop” to a viewor scene in a movie is what can be seen in the background or distanceIt’s like you’d rather go bankrupt than not invite anyone from the church.“To go bankrupt” is to legally declare that youcannot pay money that you owe other people.No more punching Thio Niko’s nads, ok?!“To punch” something is to hit it with great force. “Thio” is the Greekword for uncle, and “nads” is a slang term for a man’s testicles or balls(“Gonads” is the official medical word).Did she spit on him? :: It’s for good luck. Keeps the devil away.“To spit” is to eject or spray saliva from your mouth.“Nice boobs”*A common and not-too-crude slang word for female breasts.I don’t want something that your cash-only connections get us thatfalls from the back of a truck. :: Yeah, but they come through, right?A “connection” is a personal contact (here referring to a small informalbusiness that only accepts cash, as opposed to checks or credit cards).If a person “comes through,” they do what they had promised to do.For God’s sake, let the man talk. :: Why are you always so stubborn?“For God’s sake” is a common way of expressing anger, frustration orother emotion. If a person is “stubborn,” they refuse to change their mind and are generally very inflexible.I didn’t notice, so I bet they won’t.Note that “to bet” often means to be certain or sure.I’ve got the biggest scoop! Look at the earringsI have found to make the bride’s maids dresses.A “scoop” is a colloquial term for an important piece of secret informationthat you find out before others are told (It is also a large spoonful offood). “Earrings” are jewelry that hang from a person’s earlobes, anda “bride’s maid” is one of several women or girls who are called on to doofficial important duties for the bride in a wedding.We have a customer at the dry cleaners who is a custom jewelry designer.A “custom designer” is a person who manufactures things, in this casejewelry, that is individually designed or created, rather than manufactured in huge quantities.What do these match? Not that fabric you showed me last week.“Fabric” is any type of cloth or other material that is used to make clothes. That’s because you couldn’t visualize it.“To visualize” something is to see it in yourmind or to make a mental image of it.。

On-line Health FormThere are many aspects to health, illness and healing. Among all the teachings there's one thing that is universal to them all. And that is the unquestionable benefit achieved by communicating with others about health and its related issues. It is with the single philosophy in mind that we have developed this site as a form for communication. Dealing with a medical concern is often difficult. Connecting with others who are going through the same thing can make a world of difference. Our mission is to develop on-line communities to help you make those connections. You can post questions, comments, and respond to messages from others. We've got various topics and we are adding more all the time. If you don't see the topics you are looking for, just let us know, and we will consider our message board for it. We hope you decide to become a regular participant and help to make this a great resource.You found a job, now how do you save moneySaving your hard-earned money can be difficult. As most of us enjoy spending rather than saving, I certainly had a tough time holding on to my money every payday. When I got my first few pay checks, right away I spend the cold hard cash I'd earned by hard work. But I quickly realized that this sort of spending wouldn't really help me get the things I wanted. So I made a pact with myself. I promise that before I did anything with the money, I would deposit at least 50% of the money into my savings account. That way, I eliminated the temptation to spend that money. After I got used to saving my money, it was much easier for me not to be tempted to buy things when I saw them. When I saw a CD, or vedio game that looked appealing,I learn to ask myself,"Do I really need this?" Asking this question helped me appreciate my money, and not let it slip out of my wallet quite so fast.payday：n.发薪日pact：n.协定，条约deposit：v.存款eliminate：v.消除，排除temptation：n.诱惑be tempted to ：受诱惑做...peeling：退层slip out ：溜走wallet：钱包，皮夹PerceptionsAsk three people to look out of the same window at a busy street and tell you what they see. Probably, you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceive something different about it. Perceiving goes in our minds. After three peole who look out of the window. One may say that he sees a policeman giving a driver a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the street corner. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with 4 children. For perception, is the mind's interpretation, of what the senses in this case our eyes tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to explain just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific method, the psychologists set up experiments. They are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.perceive：察觉，感觉；理解；认知interpretation：解释；翻译traffic jam：交通拥挤，交通堵塞psychologist：心里学家perception：知觉；感觉；看法；洞察力BalloonsBalloons have been used for sport for about 100 years. There are two kinds of sport balloons, gas and hot-air. Hot-air balloons are safer than gas balloons, which may catch fire. Hot-air balloons are preferred by most balloonists in the United States because of their safty. They are also cheaper and easier to manage than gas balloons. Despite the ease of operating a balloon, pilots must watch the weather carefully. Sport balloon flights are best early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the wind is late. Over the years, balloonists have tried unsuccessfully to cross the Atlantic. It wasn't untill 1978 that three American balloonists succeeded.It took them just 6 days to make the trip, from their homes in the United States to Paris, France. Their voyage captured the imagination of the whole world.balloon：气球hot-air：热空气balloonist：气球驾驶者SaltWe do not know when men fisrt began to use salt. But we do know that it has been used in many different ways through old history. Historical evident shows, for example, that people who lived over 3000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the dead. Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods of history. In 18th century for instance, if a person was account stealing salt, he can be put in jail. History records that about 10,000 people were put in jail during that century for stealing salt. About 150 years before, in the year 1553, taking more salt than one was allowed to was punishable as a crime, the offender's ear was cut off. Salt was an important item on the table of royalty. It was traditionaly placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king's table will sit near the salt. Less important guest will be given a seatfarther away from it.be put in jail: 被送进监狱punishable: 该受惩罚的offender: 罪犯cut off: 切断，中断Gardening in AmericaBelieve or not, 43,000,000 Americans are gardening. That is about one in six. Gardeners, of course, come in many varieties. Not surprisingly, most of them are people who live in the suburbs, and enjoy planting flowers, or maybe a small vegetable garden.The average age of gardeners in America is about 45 years old; they usually fall somewhere in the middle class. But the fastest growing groups are city dwellers. Urban residents are finding ways of gardening even in their crowded areas. Many go to large public gardens, as a place designed by the city for garden, and you can actually ranch your own plot. Still other people use their balconies or roof tops, wherever they can find the space to plant small patches of green.suburb 郊区dweller 居民ranch 经营牧场balcony 阳台patch小块地OxfordOxford is an exceptionally old university town, on the River Thames, about 60 miles from London. Unlike modern university towns where you usually find the universities on the edge of the town or on its own campus, Oxford’s center is the universities; and all around the crossroads at the very heart of Oxford, there are gray stone Colleges and other university buildings. In the center, you can also find interesting old pubs and paved passages. Like all English towns, there are parks, and one, “the Parks”, is the leafy home of university cricket in the summer months. As you leave the center and go towards the outskirts of Oxford, you can see industrial estates and a car factory in one direction; and in another, attractive and expensive suburbs. There is, in fact, quite a lot ofindustry in Oxford.River Thames：泰晤士河（英国著名的“母亲”河，英国第二大河流）paved：铺设好的leafy：树叶繁茂的cricket：蟋蟀，板球运动outskirt：外边，郊外industrial estate：工业园区suburb：近郊，郊区Self-conceptThe self-concept is a complex structure. This complexity is illustrated by the idea of multiple selves. We seem to be a different person in each of many different situations, and an example may clarify this concept. First, picture yourself an athletic event. Now, contrast this image with one of yourselves taking a final exam. Finally, imagine yourself at work on a very busy day. You should probably describe yourselfdifferently in each setting. Which image is really you? Of course, all are. We have multiple selves each dependent on the context. Together they form our self-concept. It is the context that makes certain aspects of our self-concept more important at the particular moment. Self-concept is composed of our beliefs, values and attitudes. Our beliefs give our self-concepts their substance; our values give them aspirations and standards; and our attitudes give them motivation. These three elements provide a structure in which we develop and build ourselves.self-concept 自我意识complexity 复杂性multiple selves 多重自我is composed of 由...组成substance 物质，实质aspiration 抱负，渴望American wedding customsWedding days are often considered the most important day of many people’s lives. For this reason alone, throughout the past a nd into modern day, numerous customs and superstitions have developed around the wedding event, in hopes of creating "The Perfect Day!"A very common custom still honored today is in reference to a time-old saying, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence inside your shoe". So old is this that tracing it back to its origination is nearly impossible. The "old" is believed to be the friends and family attending the wedding. The "new" is represented by the couple themselves, as a "new" union. The "borrowed" is something from the families that is to be returned. Something "blue" is interpreted to represent the bride’s virginity. The sixpence can be any form of money, tucked into the bride's shoe, this to bring wealth to the union, both in monetary means and love.Death Valley: the Coming of the NameThe area was named by a woman in 1849. That was the year after gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people from other parts of thecountry traveled to the gold mining areas in California. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did.Many people were not careful. They made bad choices or wrong decisions. One group trying to reach California decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December, they had reached Death Valley. They did not have to survive the terrible heat of summer, but there was still an extreme lack of water. There were few plants for their work animals to eat.The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains. Gradually, they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the Valley. As they left, one woman looked back and said,"Good-bye, death valley." The name has never been changed.

But some people have become concerned about another kind of pollution. It can be everywhere, depending on the time of day. And it is not thought of as a substance. It is light.The idea of light pollution has developed with the increase of lights in cities. In many areas, this light makes it difficult or impossible to observe stars and planets in the night sky. Light pollution threatens to reduce the scientific value of research telescopes.Light pollution is the result of wasted energy. Bright light that shines into the sky is not being used to provide light where it is needed on Earth. Lights that are brighter than necessary also cause light pollution. Recently, two Italian astronomers and an American environmental scientist created a world map of the night sky. The map shows that North America, Western Europe and Japan have the greatest amount of light pollution.

He painted the tower white, and widened the grounds to include a church, a great hall and other buildings.In 1381, Richard II became King of England. A group of farmers attacked the tower. In the end, Richard was forced to give up his power to henry IV.Queen Elizabeth was held prisoner in the tower for two months by Queen Mary, her half sister. She was set free on May 19, 1554, and in 1558 became the Queen of England.In 1603, part of the tower became a museum. A lot of royal jewels were kept in the tower for visitors to see.

After recovering from the shock, her mother hugged her and asked,”when?” The following conversation resulted: Mary: April22 Mother: what! Father: The Adams-Jackson wedding will be the social hit of the year. Why so soon? Mary: Because on April 22 the cherry blossoms on campus are always in full bloom! The wedding pictures will be beautiful. Mother: But honey, we can’t possibly finish all the things the need to be done by then. Remember all the details that were involved in your sister’s wedding? Even if we start tomorrow, it takes a day to reserve the church and reception hall, and they need at least 17 days’ notice. That has to be done before we can start decorating the church, which takes three days. An extra $100 contribution on Sunday would probably 17-days notice to 10 days, though. Father: Ugh! Mary: I want Jane Summers to be my maid of honor. Father: But she is in Peace Corps, in Guatemala, isn’t she? It would took her 10 days to get ready and drive up here. Mary: But we coule fly her up in two days, and it would cost only $500. She would have to be here in time to have her dress fitted. Father: Ugh! Mother: And catering! It takes two days to choose the cake and table decorations. And Jack’s Catering wants at least 10 days’ notice prior to the rehearsal dinner (the night before the wedding). Mary: Can I wear your wedding dress, Mom? Mother: Well, we’d have to replace some lace, but you could wear it, yes. We could order the lace from New York when we order the material for the bridesmaids’ dress. It takes eight days to order and receive the material. The pattern needs to be chosen first, and that would take three days. Father: We could get the material here in five days if we paid an extra $25 to airfreight it. Mary: I want Mrs. Watson to work on the dresses. Father: But she charges $120 a day! Mother: If we did all the sewing. We could finish the dresses in 11 days. If Mrs. Watson helped, we could cut that down to six days. At a cost of 120$ each day less than 11 days. Mary: I don’t want anyone but her. Mother: It would take another two days to do the final fitting. It normally takes two days to clean and press the dresses, but that new cleaner downtown could do them in one day if we pay $30 charge for express service. Father: Everything should be completed by rehearsal night, and that’s only 21 days from now. I bet that will be a busy day. Mother: We have forgotten something. The invitations. 2
Father: We should order the invitations from Bob’s Printing Shop and that usually takes12 days. I’ll bet he would do it in five days if we slipped him a extra $35. Mother: It would take us three days to choose the invitation style before we could order them, and we want the envelopes printed with our return address. Mary: Oh! That will be elegant. Mother: The invitations should go out at least 10 days before the wedding. If we let them go any later, some of the relative would get theirs too late to come, and that would make them mad. I’ll bet that if we didn’t get them out until eight days before the wedding, Aunt Ethel couldn’t make it, and she would reduce her wedding gift by $200. Father: Ugh! Mother: We’ll have to take them to the post office to mail them, and that takes a day. Addressing would take four days unless we hired some part-time help, and we can’t start until the printer is finished. If we hired someone, we could probably save two days by spending $25 for each day saved. Mary: We need to get gifts to give to the bridesmaids at the rehearsal dinner. I can spend a day to do that. Mother: Before we can even start to write out those invitations. We need a guest list. Heavens, that will take four days to get in order, and only I can understand our address file. Mary: Oh, Mother, I am so excited. We can start each of the relatives on a different job. Mother: Honey, I don’t see how we can do it. Why, we’ve got to choose the invitations and patterns and reserve the church and… Father: Why don’t you just take $1500 and elope. Yours sister’s wedding cost me $1200, and she didn’t have to fly people up from Guatemala, hire extra people, use air freight, or anything like that.
Questions: 1. Give the activites and precedence relationships described in the case, develop a network diagram for the wedding plans. 2. Identify the paths. Which are critical? 3. What is the minimum-cost plan that meets the April22 date?
