her hand outstretched(伸出的). every day i put my hand in hers as our eyes _36_. she never _37_ to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. on the last day of our _38_, i found myself _39_ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. we had been advised to walk _40_ through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. let them _41_ us. but tonight i was by myself and felt _42_ to face the stream of vehicles. _43_ i hesitated on the sidewalk, i felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. she nodded her head toward the street, _44_ that she would take me across. together, we moved slowly into the chaos. then we moved on _45_ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me. i had not given her a single coin. we had _46_ something vastly more importanta warming of hearts in friendship. traveling in poorer nations, i have _47_ a variety of ways to deal with beggars. the most _48_ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to _49_ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. i have seen people push away an outstretched hand in _50_. a few may hurriedly drop a few coins, and then make a quick getaway in hopes that another 20 ragged beggars wont immediately appear on the _51_. for many reasons, giving money is not the best _52_ to an outstretched hand. the greatest gift is time and respect. to look beggars in the eye and smile, thus acknowledging their existence, is a small thing. putting your hand into anothers outstretched hand and grasping it _53_ for a moment is also a small thing. but these are important. everyone needs _54_, to be seen as worthy of being _55_, to feel appreciated and loved. and i believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing. 36. a. metb. openedc. turnedd. dropped 37. a. attemptedb. wantedc. managedd. failed38. a.

to previous findings that temperature increases would cause them to die out. a study, 36 in the latest edition of ecology and evolution, reveals the 37 age of some amazonian tree species - more than 8 million years - and 38 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 39 for the year 2100. the authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will 40 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes. 41 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact amazonia as temperatures 42 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. the authors 43 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain 44 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining. the study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species extinctions 45 relatively small increases in global average air temperatures. study co-author dr simon lewis (ucl geography) said the 46 were good news for amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 47 to the amazons future. dr lewis said: “the past cannot be compared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to 48 higher air temperatures than today, the amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 49 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads. “species will not move as freely in todays amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human 50 . similarly, todays climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past 51 .” “with a clearer 52 of the relative risks to the amazon forest, we 53 that direct human impacts - such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining - should remain a key point of conservation policy. we also need more aggressive 54 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 55 the future of most amazon tree species.”36. a. advertisedb. describedc. publishedd. presented37. a.
