Pisa is an Italian city known for its Leaning Tower.The Tower, interestingly enough, started leaning in the middle of its construction — when its first three stories were completed. Bonnano Pisano, the engineer in charge, tried to correct the lean by making the new stories slightly taller on the short side, only to find that the added marble caused the Tower to sink still further. Work was suspended several times as engineers sought fresh solutions, until the Tower was finished in the 14th century, still leaning. The construction, begun in 1174, nearly took 200 years.In modern times the structure has been several times strengthened by cement, but to this day it is still in danger of collapse. Various schemes have been under consideration for saving, it. To rebuild an upright tower would be easy enough for modern engineering, but it would not be the same edifice as people love and remember it. The Leaning Tower must be left leaning, saved, not reconstructed. There is nothing really wrong with a leaning tower — after all, Galileo climbed to the top and did his experiment by throwing down weights. In the meantime, the Tower has been closed to the public since 1990. What is NOT true about the Leaning Tower()
A. It makes its city Pisa well-known.

2011年7月,某小区刘某与杨某因争抢停车位而争吵,刘某对杨某破口大骂,并随手将手机砸向杨某脸部,致杨某脸部红肿。围观群众报警,派出所民警迅速赶至现场将二人带回所内,并对二人进行了批评教育。两人冷静一段时间后,均表示愿意调解处理。于是民警让其回去自行协商达成调解协议,两人达成协议,刘某向杨某赔礼道歉,并支付杨某医疗费用200元,车位问题双方共同到物业公司寻求解决。但事后刘某觉得自己的手机在争吵中也被砸坏,却还要赔杨某医疗费,实在咽不下这口气,便拒绝履行调解协议。杨某再三催促,刘某宣称他是不会赔偿的,派出所已经处理过了,无权再管了。 请问: 该事件是否属于治安案件调解的法定范围说明理由。
Most people talk about the "five" senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight, heating, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that sense of sight—our visual(视觉的) sense—gives us up to eighty percent of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without it, though they are seldom noticed. These are the sense of balance, without which we would act like a drank man, and the kinesthetic (运动觉的)sense, which gives us our ideas about our own motion (行动). We know our own movements as a result of()
A. the sense of balance
B. the visual sense
C. the five senses
D. the kinesthetic sense
