responded with an immediate “yes!”. as i planned the meal in my head, i reflected on how many times over the years i had been asked to prepare food. i have done so countless times with a very open heart. but the truly amazing thing is that i have received double over the course of my life. when my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. a woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. the gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain. later in my life, when i was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. they arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. even when i was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. how we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter. food is all about comfort. it feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. when you hear people talking about their favorite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. i know ill have many more chances in my lifetime to prepare food for others. it is truly a gift i want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.56. we can learn from the first paragraph that the author _.a. was tired of preparing food.b. was glad to be able to lend a hand.c. knew the

and mysteriously appear when you are not. modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating (酝酿) the problem in your subconscious (潜意识) yet cant account for why it occurs. when you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesnt quit working. your thoughts keep making associations. this is why youre experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems youve forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when youre relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing. you may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. the letter should read just like a letter you would send to a real person. seal the letter and put it away. let go of the problem. dont work on it. forget it. do something else. this is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. open the letter in two days. the answer might magically pop into your mind. an advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign to introduce new television shows. bob, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind. he called his subconscious mind secret expert. secret expert, i need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of tv shows. im interested in coming up with some kind of campaign that will capture the audiences attention more than one time. is there something people need that we can advertise on? what kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? i need a fresh approach to advertising. your mission is to give me a new idea on how to advertise tv shows. thanks, bob bob mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on eggs. somehow an association between foods, need, and fresh approach inspired the thought of using fresh eggs to advertise. he arranged to place laser imprints of the slogans for the tv shows on eggs some thirty million. the consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. its unlike any other ad medium in the world, because youre looking at it while youre using it.61. you remember names when youre not thinking about
