He had a lot of his possessions (私人商品) tied down to his bike and held a cardboard sign that said he was a vet who doesnt drink or do drugs, but would appreciate anything that could be given. He usually has headphones on and is listening to the radio. He is always minding his own business, often reading as well. Ive never seen him actively “ panhandling”.Several times, while I was passing him, I realized I had some food with me, so I turned around and offered him that food. He took off his headphones, and said, “ Umm, blueberry muffins are my favourite!” with a big smile and a gleam in his eyes. He thanked me so warmly.The graciousness(有礼貌) and humbleness（谦逊） of his receiving makes me want to continue to stop by with “surprises” of food, money or other gifts. In the past, Ive met homeless folks who turned down the food I was offering, saying that they wanted only money instead.So this wonderful gentleman being so open to receiving has been a blessing.It also makes me think how open I am to receiving in my life - am I humble and grateful when I am gifted with something? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but rarely as gracious, humble and sincere as this wonderful man has been in receiving.41. What did the author think of the gentleman as at first?

But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation, including Home Exchanges. Founded in 1992, with some 28,000 listings, this company bills itself as the worlds largest home exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this year. The annual fee is usually less than US$100. Members can access thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and farms around the world. Original contact is made through e-mail, with the following communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a lot. However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come to steal your TV. Besides, at the same time theyre staying in your home, you are staying in their home.” Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead of time. They may fill out an agreement spelling out who shoulders which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if the agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the exchangers a little satisfaction. Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do with different standards of cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to make sure their home is in order before they leave, but one persons idea of “clean” may be more forgiving than anothers. Some owners say if they come back to a less-than-sparkling kitchen, it may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future exchanges.49. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. How to exchange homes.B. The biggest home exchange agency.C. How home exchange is becoming popular.D. A contrast （对比）between Intervac and Home Exchanges.50.

Both parties can trade online.C. Both parties can sign an agreement beforehand.D. One can damage the home of the other party in return.DFreda Bright says, Only in opera do people die of love. Its true. You really cant love somebody to death. Ive known people to die from no love, but Ive never known anyone to be loved to death. We just cant love one another enough. A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down? She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, and then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read, Congratulations, darling! I knew youd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you. Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, Dont worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you. Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and cure her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction. Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. And love your friends. Love them without measure. 53.
