Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes _16_. She never _17_ to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our _18_, I found myself _19_ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. We had been advised to walk _20_ through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. Let them _21_ us. But tonight I was by myself and felt _22_ to face the stream of vehicles. _23_ 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, _24_ that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos. Then we moved on _25_ 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 _26_ something vastly more importanta warming of hearts in friendship. Traveling in poorer nations, I have _27_ a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most _28_ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to _29_ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in _30_. 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 _31_. For many reasons, giving money is not the best _32_ 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 _33_ for a moment is also a small thing. But these are important. Everyone needs _34_, to be seen as worthy of being _35_, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing. 16.

After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.

Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very_.A. friendly B. selfish C. professional D. busyBAlgae(水藻) are very simple plants. They grow in fresh water or salty water. Seaweed is algae that grow in salty water. Seaweed is red or brown in color. The Japanese people use these plants from the sea in many ways. From it, they make a food called Kombu. Kombu is seaweed that has been dried, cooked and pressed together. Then it is dried again and cut into long pieces. The Japanese eat a lot of Kombu and like it very much. Japanese farmers often use seaweed as fertilizer. It makes their plants grow better. Many farmers also find seaweed makes a fine food for their animals. From seaweed the Japanese also get iodine(碘), which they sell to other countries. Iodine is used in many ways all over the world. It is used in making medicine. It is added to the salt we use at the table. Scientists even use one form of iodine to “ seed clouds” when they want rain to fall.40.

The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.” There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened. “When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didnt have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didnt seem to make much difference. ” “Our children grew up in a world at war. They didnt know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didnt want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.” “Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. Theyre making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”43.

In his final days, he tells you, I have 100,000 dollars in a bank back home. When I die, make sure my son goes to medical school. Then he dies. But his son is a no-good playboy who has no interest in going to medical school and will waste that money away in a very short time. But your son is entering college, and he is willing to become a doctor. Which one do you give the money to for medical school? Ive asked this question of everyone from the president of a famous university to an ordinary young soldier, and it has never failed to get a discussion going.

In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what youre grateful for. _51_Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like youre happyeven if you arent. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. _52_ Reassure yourself that everything is good even if you dont feel it.“_53_ If youre stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly too,” says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, youre setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that youre stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, youll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve. _54_ You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going. _55_ Try making someone elses day better. A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic
