The books were filled with stories in which, however 37 things seemed, everything 38 well in the end, 39 justice, bravery, and wisdoma striking contrast (对比) to my everyday experiences. Thirty years later, I, a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13, stood in front of another librarian. This librarian was 40 . “What did she say?” I asked my daughter, who already knew a little English and often 41 as my interpreter. “She said Can I help you?”“Ask if they have any books in 42 ,” I requested. “No, they dont.” translated my daughter. While hunting for a job, I was told that the library needed people to 43 books. The interview was shortthe job didnt require much English, just a 44 of the alphabet. I started the next day. Every day, I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was 45 from me, mentally dividing them by size and color. One day, while shelving, I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own. 46 English letters started forming words I could 47 , words combined into phrases, andoh, 48 !I was reading. It was a slow process, supported by dictionaries and 49 by tears, but it was progress. Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk 50 books in and out and answering simple questions. Every day I receive dozens of people. Sometimes I spot new immigrants. They come from all over the world, so they look different, but the hesitant expression on their faces and their 51 manners are similar. My heart goes out to them, 52 they are people like me.

One might think that somewhere a genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didnt happen that way. Picture an elegant restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853. The Moon Lake Restaurants menu included French-fried potatoes, a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson. These were thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp on the outside. One evening a guest in the dining hall felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. The cook sliced some potatoes thinner than before and prepared them for the complaining guest. He was still not satisfied and sent them back again! By this time the cook was angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted: slice the potatoes as thin as possible. Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldnt be able to use his fork to eat them. When the paper-thin browned potatoes arrived, the diner was pleased. He was so happy with them that other guests started ordering the new potatoes. The cooks plan to stop the dinner guest from complaining did not turn out as he had planned. Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people wanted to take some home. The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips. A few years later, they were selling all over the United States. But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time-consuming task and potato chips were often out of stock. In the 1920s a mechanical potato peeler was invented and soon there were potato chips in abundance. They gradually spread all over the world, and have remained popular ever since. 56.

A. for more than 200 years B. ever since 1920 C. for less than 100 years D. since the 19th centuryBA religious person will have a different thought than one who is not. And a Democrat usually doesnt view issues the same way as a Republican. Take the shoes for example. It has the same principle. Some like custom shoes for personalization. But some dont. Some will purchase a shoes printer only for one desired image. That all depends on different conceptions. So when you have a negative thought about yourself, dont consider it a fact until you also reflect on the opposite view.

But society thinks shes too skinny. Unless she can change her perception, shell never agree with society. And shell never get better. What are you seeing in you that is preventing you from realizing how beautiful you are? Or how smart you are? Or how lovable?
