i replied, if all i was giving was money, itll be one thing. but for me, whenever i do give money, thats just the wrapping (包装纸) . the real gift is hidden inside - its love. and l havent ever found any reason to limit gifts of love by the end of the night, i decided to get some pizza. in front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. he was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, iii have the full cheese pizza. full?

only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across. now a mother-daughter team in ahmedabad , india has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention -a 3-d zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉) .artists saumya pandya thakkar and shakuntala pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by il&fs, an indian company that manages the highways in ahmedabad. the corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the citys residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. thakkar and pandya, who had previously seen images of 3-d zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs(原木)of wood on the streets in taizhou, china, decided to test if a similar way would work in india. sure enough, in the six months that the 3-d crosswalks have been painted across four of the citys most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! the artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. as they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. the creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout india and perhaps even the world. so lets look forward to it.32. what can we learn from the first paragraph?
