with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. i was in heaven.what made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasnt being replaced. wed been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everythingso most of the new stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what wed lost. but not my ring. my ring was new.then, only one month later, i lost it. i took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. i was sad and searched everywhere for it. but it seemed to have disappeared. eventually, i gave up and stopped looking for it. and two years later, we sold the house and moved away.years passed, and a couple of moves later, i was visiting my parents when mum told me that she had something for me. it wasnt my birthday, nor was it easter or christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. mum noticed my questioning look. youll recognize this one, she said, smiling.then she handed me a small ring box. i took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. the family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. when they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. as it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. theyd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. and it still fits me. bgoing green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. whether that is good or bad, we cant really say, but for the tow of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.on april22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. this meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.with the idea of going green every single day for a year, our green year started. my life and i decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. we wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.over the course of our green year, we completely changed our lifestyle. we now shop at organic(有机的)stores. we consume less meat, choosing green food. we have greatly reduced our buying we dont need. we have given away half of what we owned through websites. our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. we make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. in our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.our minds have been changed by our green year. we are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. we believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet. 55. what might be the best title for the passage?a. going

business. it is just the opposite. listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. it is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. an essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. true communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.most of the time we lack this energy. even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. many of us are farmore interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.it wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that i have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) in about a quarter of the patients i saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. there are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, i believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.e. 阅读理解（七选五）how to be creativemost people are certain that creativeness is something you are either born with or without._66_ there are ways available to raise your talent to a level you would like.the first step to being more creative lies in believing you are actually creative. you cannot come out with good work until and unless you believe that you are good at what you are doing._67_all that has to be done is to develop this creative potential._68_even if your new concepts seem to be way too unlikely, make sure that at least give them a try. unique concepts may seem strange initially but can lead to major discoveries. all the creations in the history of humankind came out just because there were people who could think differently._69_ many people have the habit of over-thinking and look for reasons not to do a particular thing. learn how to take a chance. you really cant develop your talents till and unless you are willing to take risks. understand that you cant have insurance for each and everything. therefore if youd like to do something, go on and do it.another vital thing to do to remain creative is to update your mind regularly. you need to provide more modern inspirations and thoughts to your consciousness to come up with new concepts. you should explore the world around yourselfvisit museums, travel, read books, watch film
