The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating a dozen long-stemmed red roses.As I was cleaning my office, I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband a prisoner in a nearby prison was my next patient. She told me she wasnt allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boys father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasnt full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.A short time later, her husband arrived with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The womans tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadnt been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.Ill never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses.

Artisan Gallery & Creamery Caf are open daily for 4 hours CRecently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life. He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it. Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book. Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man? Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich. People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.64. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money_. A. is a good way to test your friendship B. will do harm to your friendship C. will strengthen your friendship D. is a good way to break off your friendship65. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview? A. He does not feel that he is well educated. B. He does not think that he is a very important person. C. He doesnt think that being rich is worth so much attention. D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.66. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book? A. Money is an end. B. Money is a means. C. Money is everything. D. Money is unimportant.67. Which of the following might the author disagree with? A. Money is important in modern society. B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money. C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness. D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth. DThe Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is shared between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) and Albert Arnold(AL) Gore Jr. for their efforts to fight the man-made climate change. Changes in the earths future climate must be treated seriously. The climate changes may affect, and even threaten the lives of many people. They may cause many people to leave their hometowns for a new place and lead to greater competition for the earths resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the worlds countries. There may be an increased danger of wars, within and between states. After twenty years of scientific research, the IPCC has come to a firm conclusion about the connection between human activities and global warming. Thousands of scientists and officials from over one hundred countries have worked together to reach this conclusion. For a long time, Al has been one of the worlds leading environmentalist stars, He became aware at an early stage of the climatic challenges the world is facing. His strong mind, known by his political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He has done most to
