Kohout immediately called to Graham’s wife, Evelyn, to telephone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help,who were at work inside the house. “There was no time for second thoughts,” said Reif,a farmer’ s son. “The only thing to do was to get in the pool.”
The car doors were locked. Graham,73, was unconscious (失去知觉),and his Mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the driver’ s side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater.

When Biggo Manufacturing (a public listed company) needed to build an extension to its factory, it obtained planning permission to build it on an adjacent field. The local government authority was keen to attract the new jobs that would go with the expansion and so granted the permission despite the objections of a number of residents, who were concerned that the new factory extension would mean the loss of a children’s play area.
When the board of Biggo met after the building approval had been given, the chief executive read out a letter from Albert Doo, leader of the local government authority, saying that although permission to build had been given, the company should consider making a sizeable contribution towards creating a new children’s play area in a nearby location. Mr Doo said that Biggo ‘should recognise its social responsibility’. He said that the company should consider itself a citizen of society and should, accordingly, ‘recognise its responsibilities as well as its legal rights’.
One of Biggo’s directors, Robert Tens, said he thought the request was entirely reasonable given the displacement of the play area. He also said that they could use the donation strategically to help cultivate the company’s reputation locally to help in future recruitment. It might also, he said, help to reduce resistance to any future expansion the company might need to make.
Margaret Heggs, in contrast, argued that the company should not make the donation as it was likely that company profits would be low in the current year. She said that the acquisition of the land and the gaining of planning permission were done through the normal legal channels and so the company had no further contractual or ethical duties to the local government, nor to the local community. She said that Biggo provided local employment and produced excellent products and so it was unreasonable for the request for a donation to have been made. ‘This board is accountable to the shareholders of Biggo and not to the local community or the local government authority’, she said.
Required:
(a) Explain the meaning of ‘rights’ and ‘responsibilities’ in the context of Biggo and describe how these terms are interpreted at the two ends of the Gray, Owen & Adams ‘continuum’. (10 marks)
(b) Justify, using evidence from the case, which of Gray, Owen & Adams’s positions are best described by the comments made by Robert Tens and also Margaret Heggs. (6 marks)
(c) Define ‘social responsibility’ as used by Albert Doo. Contrast how short and long-term shareholder interest perspectives may affect Biggo’s attitude to the requested contribution for the children’s play area. (9 marks)

The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see everything under you. You are flying like Superman.
Michael Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20, 30 years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can't fly.
Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moiler has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests. It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20 miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be sold next year for about a million dollars.
NASA is working with Moshier to help develop his flying machine. The first users are likely to be military.
It's been 50-years since Robert Fulton invented his airphibian, a flying car. It flew, and is now in the Smithsonian Museum.
Getting dreams to fly is never easy.
The Solo Flyer is able to lift off the ground by using ______.

Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, "The Privileged Ones", and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. "Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich," says the 53-year-old doctor, "such as better health, education and future work prospects. (78) But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other thing, however, and that's where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Overindulgence (娇美) by their parents can make them spoilt. They tent to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.
(79) "But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world," adds Mr. Coles, "and they are more self-assured." The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. "However, they will have a sense of isolation," warns Dr. Coles, "and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really, be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that."
(80) Today's wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.
In his book "The Privileged Ones", Dr. Cotes implies that ______.
A.there are fewer problem in the rich family than the poor family
B.rich children live a life of separation from the world
C.rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children
D.the quality of rich children's family life may not be high
