She looked like she had just finished work. She sat with them quietly taking care of all their needs. Then I noticed, as soon as their finally food arrived, she took a bite of her food and then one of the kids had to go to the bathroom. They all left the table and she ushered them so lovingly especially after what may have been a long day at work. I excused myself from the table and went quietly to hostess stand. I handed the hostess $15 and said, “Can you put this anonymously to that mom of 3s bill? I am hoping it covered at least the childrens meals.” The hostess had such a lovely smile and enthusiasm for being in on this intention. I didnt stand around long as I didnt want anyone even my own family to know what was going on. I wanted it to be completely anonymous.For the rest of my meal I did all I could not to put any more attention directly on the table, as I didnt want her to suspect me in the act.I thought about not sharing this story, but I feel like we are stealth, fierce each others candle holders and lighters- in our commitments to kindness, so it feels like I should share with you.

Driving while tired can be just as bad as driving drunk. But what is it exactly that makes our brains so bad at staying focused on the road when were exhausted? “When we get sleepy and we are performing a dull task such as driving, we tend to look for other things that increase our alertness,”said Chris Watling. “Studies have shown sleepy drivers undertake more distracting-type behaviors to increase their levels of alertness such as gazing at passing scenery and speeding to increase their focus on the task of driving.”But its not only that it is likely that some tired drivers might also reach for their phones when driving to increase their alertness an obvious issue when youre supposed to be keeping your eye on the road.“These behaviors were found to be more prevalent when driving long distance, which at the same time are increasing levels of sleepiness due to the time-on-task effect,” says Watling.“Sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind but young peoples sleep is often compromised by social activities, work or educational commitments,”he says. “Given young drivers are over-represented in crash statistics and more likely to be impaired by sleepiness and distraction, it is vital that we look at ways to reduce these behaviors and our focus should be on young drivers.

Stop biting your finger nails. Public speaking is easy. Its just talking, and you talk all time. Although Im basically shy and honest, Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent or being able to draw. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. 37 Keep it simple. 38 One or two. Not ten or twenty. If you cant express what you want to say in a sentence or two, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will never catch the main idea. Get organized. No matter how long or short your speech is, youve got to get your ducks in a row how youre going to open, what major points you want to make and how youre going to close. When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. 39 A strong ending is important ： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. 40 The standard length of a vaudeville (歌舞)act was 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldnt go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can? A. Keep it short.B. Here are some of the lessons I have learned. C. The reason is that were all afraid of making fools of ourselves. D. Your audience is going to leave with one or two of your main ideas. E. When you know where youre going, you can choose any way to get there. 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 What is time?
