If you didnt study Latin，you couldnt be a nurse，so I enrolled. Many Latin words were familiar to me. The hard part turned out to be the usage and creating sentences with the words that seemed so easy to pronounce. Several weeks into the course my teacher came to me，saying，“I think you should withdraw from this course. It seems to be too hard for you. ”That was the day I learned I wasnt smart enough to become a nurse. With shame，I handed in my Latin textbook. After high school，the years raced by. I married and had children. Then one day my husband John came home. “Carol. Max died this afternoon. ”I looked at my husband with disbelief. John was touched by this tragedy. Finally one evening he said，“Carol，Jackie has never worked and now shes alone with four children. Ive been thinking if anything happens to me. I want you to be able to take care of yourself and the children. Why dont you think about what youd like to do and get the training youll need to do it?”I signed up for the entrance exam for nursing programs. One day I received a letter from the schoo1. I wanted so badly to open it，but with my lack of confidence，I laid it on the kitchen counter saying，“Im not in the mood for a rejection letter today. ”Finally I forced myself to open it. “Dear Carol，”I read. “We are pleased to inform you that you successfully passed the entrance exam.”An insensitive teacher once stole my dream. If you have a dream, exhaust every effort to reach it. Ive worked thirty years now as a nurse and Ive never been more certain that this is what I was meant to be.56.

Since the atmosphere scatters(分散) blue light, only red light strikes the moon, giving it a dark red color.Dally Sam, who runs a public relations firm in Hawaii, said it had been cloudy and rainy, but the weather cleared just in time for the eclipse.Around 3 a.m., he awoke, as he usually does, and remembered to step outside the house in time to catch the beginning of the eclipse about a half hour later. No one else in the neighborhood was up then.It was turning that dark red color, Sayre, aged 47, said, Id better get a camera. To be able to see it just right outside our house was really cool.At the local observatory in Los Angeles, some 300 people, many holding coffee cups in the cold morning air, sat with blankets and chairs on the observatorys great grass land.Its really a celestial festival out here, John Peter, aged 39, told the Los Angeles Times as he set up his camera.Lying on a slope(斜坡) north of downtown near the Hollywood sign, the place offers clear views of the sky. Observatory officials reminded the crowd when the eclipse began and big applause burst when the celestial event ended.A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon goes through the long shadow cast by the Earth and is blocked from the sunlight that brightens it. 64.

But how exactly do we reach out to strangers?We may get some inspiration from a wildly popular blog called Humans of New York. Since its 2010 launch, it has accumulated millions of followers on social media and is now a bestselling book.Brandon Santon, 30, is the creator of the blog. He has made it a habit of approaching people on the streets of New York City and asking them for a photograph and a chat. He has managed to get thousands of complete strangers to open up to him with personal stories of their friendships, struggles, fears, loves and losses.In a recent talk he gave at University College Dublin, Ireland, Stanton explained how to strike up a relationship with strangers. A piece of important advice is that reaching out to strangers is all about the energy.Actually, what you say isnt really important. Socializing is not about showing off how well you can speak. Stanton says he realized that “after repeated attempts, it had not much to do with the words I was saying. Its all about the energy that youre giving off”. The worst energy you can give off is nervousness, Stanton said. Be calm and try to “turn the atmosphere of fear, strangeness and uncomfortableness into an atmosphere of intimacy”. When starting a conversation, keep it simple. Try beginning with an experience that you and the stranger are both experiencing together. Breaking the ice is easier when you can create a connection with the stranger.And dont be afraid of rejection. Confidence cant be taught in a classroom, Stanton says. You have to earn it. People also subconsciously evaluate you according to how you act, he added. So practice, practice and practice.Challenge yourself to talk to one stranger a day, every day, for 30 days. If youre walking past someone on the sidewalk, say “Hi”. Even if he or she doesnt stop for a chat, your job is done for that day. This exercise will help you get used to talking to people you dont know and form the habit of being more social. 68. What is the best title of the passage?A. Friends benefit us in general. B. How to communicate with others.C. How to break the ice with strangers. D. Strangers offer help to us sometimes.69. How should you begin a conversation with strangers?A. By talking with them cautiously.B. By sitting down in a quiet atmosphere.C. By challenging them with a tough question.D. By greeting them regardless of their responses.70. What important qualities should people have when talking to a stranger? a. calmness b. rejection c. confidence d. honesty A. a, b, c. B. b, c, d . C. a, b, d. D. a, c, d.71. What can we infer from the passage?A. People should be tolerant and patient when talking with a stranger.B. Humans of New York has sold millions of books since its founding.C. What people say isnt important at all when communicating with strangers.D. Greeting a stranger every day will surely make people sociable in the future.EIf proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it. On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals (土著人) in boats. To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said . Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in com
