Apple manufacturing plant workers complain of long hours and militant culture
Chengdu, China (CNN) — Miss Chen (we changed her name for this story), an 18-year-old student from a village outside of the southern megacity of Chongqing, is one of more than one million factory workers at a Chinese company that helps manufacture products for Apple Inc.'s lucrative global empire, which ranked in a record $46.3 billion in sales last quarter. They work day or night shifts, eating and sleeping at company facilities, as they help build electronics products for Apple and many other global brand names, such as Amazon's Kindle and Microsoft's Xbox.
As a poor college student with no work experience, looking for a job in China's competitive market is an uphill battle. So when Chen was offered a one-month position at Foxconn with promises of great benefits and little overtime, she jumped at the chance. But when she started working, she found out that only senior employees got such benefits.
“During my first day of work, an older worker said to me, 'Why did you come to Foxconn? Think about it again and leave right now'," said Chen, who plans to return to her studies at a Chongqing university soon.
Foxconn recently released a statement defending its corporate practices, stating its employees are entitled to numerous benefits including access to health care and opportunities for promotions and training. In response to questions from CNN, Apple also released a statement: “We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. We insist that our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes wherever Apple products are made. Our suppliers must live up to these requirements if they want to keep doing business with Apple."
After three weeks of applying more than 4,000 stickers a day onto iPad screens by hand and working 60 hours a week in an assembly line, Chen says she's ready to go back to school and study hard so she'll never have to return to Foxconn. “It's so boring, I can't bear it anymore. Everyday is like: I get off from work and I go to bed. I get up in the morning, and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an animal," said Miss Chen. When asked why humans do machine-like work at Foxconn, she responds, “Well, humans are cheaper."

What do police officers do?
By Emma Woolley
The primary responsibility of police officers is to protect the
public, or if commissioned, the person, group or organization
to which they are assigned. Through detecting and preventing
crime, police officers strive to maintain law and order in their
respective jurisdictions.
Most new police officers work in general duty in patrol
divisions, which provides a broad range of experiences
and assignments. General duty policing involves patrolling
assigned areas to enforce laws, protect public safety, and
arrest criminal suspects – either by car, foot, bicycle, or in
some cases, horse.
Police officers can also do some or all of the following:
Investigate accidents and crime scenes; secure evidence and
interview witnesses; testify in court; collect notes and reports;
provide emergency assistance to victims of natural disasters,
crime, and accidents; engage in crime prevention, safety, and
public information programs; participate in media relations;
and supervise and manage the work of other police officers.
Working as a police officer can be one of the most
diverse career experiences, as specializations ranging in the
hundreds are available. With a few years of service (usually
four or more), he or she can move into areas such as criminal
identification, drug investigations, sexual assault, fraud, major
case and/or crime management, surveillance, aircraft security,
explosives disposal, police dog services, and many more.
Police officers must be available for shift work at any time
of day and any day of the week, including holidays. Shifts
tend to be longer than the standard eight-hour office day.
Even though many regular police duties are routine in nature,
the job can also be dangerous, as well as physically and
emotionally stressful.

A Chief engineer was reading a manual in order to confirm the procedures for reaction to an oil mist alarm, or other alarms that could lead to the oil mist situation and he found the following instruction:
Reduce engine power/pitch down to slow-down levei, if this is not an automatic function. This will drastically reduce the load on the engine bearings, and hence the production of oil mist.
The word underlined can be replaced by:
