little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. in english-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “nice day, isnt it?” “terrible weather, isnt it?” but there is something special about small talk. it must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. the purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. this makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. people usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. but people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. the topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. at football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “great game, isnt it?” at bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “the bus service is terrible, isnt it?”56. small talk is _. a. a kind of conversation with short words b. a greeting used when people

and drawing, and read great books. she also traveled a great deal with her mother and father. as a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. she enjoyed helping them. at last, mind was made up. “im going to be a nurse,” she decided. “nursing isnt the right work for a lady,” her father told her. “then i will make it so ”, she smiled. and she went to learn nursing in germany and france. when she returned to england, florence started a nursing home . during the crimean war in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. what they saw there was terrible. dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. the officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. but the brave nurse went to work. florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. but they were more than enough for this kind woman. after she returned to england, she was honored for her services by queen victoria. but florence said that her work had just begun. she raised money to build the nightingale home for nurses in london. she also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. florence nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today. 61. when she was a child, florence _ . a. loved to travel very much b. knew what her duty in life was c. loved to help the sick people

a good parent. i no longer consider myself the center of the universe. i show up. i listen. i try to laugh. i am a good friend to my husband. i have tried to make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. i am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. without them, there would be nothing to say to you today. so heres what i wanted to tell you today: get a life. a real life, not a desire of the next promotion（提升）, the bigger paycheck, the larger house. get a life in which you are not alone. find people you love, and who love you. and remember that love is not leisure（空闲）, it is work. pick up the phone. send an e-mail. write a letter. and realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.it is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. it is so easy to exist instead of to live. i learned to live many years ago. something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if i had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. and what i learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.i learned to love the journey, not the destination. i learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because i believed in it, completely and totally. and i tried to do that, in part, by telling others what i had learned. by telling them this: read in the backyard with the sun on your face. learn to be happy. and think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.66. the best title of

your health. politicians also got aboard. “there is a direct relationship,” us congressman neal smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.” frightening, if true! but many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “all these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” dr. dustan insists. “for most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” dustans most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced. “an adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than
