You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I dont know anyone in the office who is better liked than you. You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts. Its not only the collected from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who dont know them outside the office, who wouldnt even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives. This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in todays office setting. Thank you for understanding.51. The underlined word “contributions” probably means_. A. money B. suggestions C. reports D. understanding52. Hamilton is expected to _. A. show more kindness B. discontinue the present practiceC. quit being the organizer for gift giving D. know more about co-workers families53. This is basicaly a letter of _.

The Sun is the major source of energy for our planet. It causes the evaporation of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earths surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earths surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmasphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earths surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefor called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes on object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected deponds on the surface. For example, youve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.54. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is _. A. the atmosphere surrounding the Earth B. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the Sun D. greenhouse gases in the sky55. Only a small part of the Suns energy reaches the Earths surface because most of it is _.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes56. We learn from the passage that _. A. all living things on the Earth depond on the Sun for their food B. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earths surface C About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was working as a practice student at my Universitys Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair. As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of set on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and main body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen. All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smles, love and warmth. That was ten years ago.

The boys mother had been killed by a cruel king and the two babies were thrown into the river Tiber. When the wolf found them they had been washed up on the shore.
