In fact, we dont have to wait for 36 to thank the ones closest to usthe ones so easily 37 .If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: Give it now！ 38 your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to 39 the worlds happiness. Saying thanks not only 40 someone elses world, but brightens yours. If youre feeling 41 ,unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the 42 you need. Of course, there are times when you cant express gratitude 43 .In that case dont let embarrassment sink you into silencespeak up the first time you have the chance. Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a 44 town of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a 45 for thank-you. But Brian soon found that these people had 46 generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to 47 every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior 48 .They do their thanks. I wonder if we had words in our 49 for thank-you. Would we do a better job of 50 our gratitude？Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring? Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that 51 people all around usincluding ourselves. For no one ever 52 the tune of a grateful heart.

Harris, to his favorite newsstand. George greeted the man selling the newspapers politely, but in return he received rude service. He just acknowledged his customer and never even looked up at him when he requested the late night edition. Accepting the newspaper, George politely smiled and wished the newsman a pleasant weekend. The owner made an indiscernible（难识别的） sound and seemed relieved that the two men had completed their dealing. As the two friends walked down the street, Sydney J. Harris asked, “Does he always treat you so rudely?” “Yes, unfortunately, he does,” George responded. “And are you always so kind and friendly to him?” “Yes, I am!” George continued as they turned a corner. “Why are you so nice when hes so unfriendly to you?” With a look of deep thought, George explained, “Because I dont want him to decide how Im going to act.” Who decides how youre going to act? Is it your circumstances or the difficult people in your life that determine your responses? When we allow our conflicts to control us, we behave as though getting rid of our predicaments（处境）is our only choice. Therefore, it doesnt really matter how we treat one another. For example, we say, “This person is causing trouble right now so I dont care about exercising patience, self-control, and loving kindness. Instead, I want to let them know how angry Im because of their actions.” We forget our acts will eventually die down. But the way we handle conflicts will influence our lives for a long time. Will you only respond to the momentary crisis or will you be more concerned about the lasting value of what kind of person you are becoming? 56What surprised Sydney J. Harris most? A. The newspaper-seller was too rude. B. George greeted others impolitely. C. George bought papers in the wrong place. D. George greeted the rude newspaper-seller politely. 57According to George, who /what it was that decided how he was going to act? A. The circumstances. B. The conflicts. C. George himself. D. The difficult people. 58According to the last paragraph, when we deal with conflicts, we should . A. try to win the conflicts B. consider the long-term influence C. immediately stop the conflicts D. let others know our anger B Obviously, obesity is regarded by doctors as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it? The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often dont know what to say. “So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes（糖尿病）,” she said. “And doctors dont feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didnt have adequate tools to address this problem. ” The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients dont even know that theyre too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight. Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the pastand many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes. Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If youre to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said. He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic. “Part of this is that theres this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, youre not going to spend time having a productive conversation.” 59. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight? A. About 390. B. About 350. C. About 900. D. About 1,000. 60. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5? A. Without their doctors constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight. B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain. C. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are. D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy. 61. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients? A. Most doctors never think of warning their patients about their weight problem. B. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight. C. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight. D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem. 62. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Obesity in the U. S. B. Trouble of overweight Americans. C. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame? D. Talk more, help better. C On the west side of the island of Manhattan in New York City, tree by tree, leaf by leaf, a 2,500 square foot sector of the Central African Republics Dzanga Ndoki Rainforest has been transported to, or recreated at, the American Museum of Natural Historys new hall of biodiversity.

The exhibition may even have produced a special prizescientists suspect they have uncovered several new species To give the forest a sense of realness, the back wall of the exhibit is an enormous video screen, sounds will come out from hidden speakers, and plans even call for forest smells. Computer controls will vary the effects so that no two walkthroughs will ever be exactly the same After the team returned to New York, the forest was reproduced with the help of the computer. Computer modeling programmes plotted distances and special relationshipsArtists studied photos and brought what they saw to lifePlaster trees were madeRecreated animals began to stand in the rainforest of the hallFlying creatures will hang from the ceilingThe light in the forest one of the exhibits cleverest recreations will seem realLong tube lights will have the correct colour and temperature to produce a natural effectThe plants and animals exhibited throughout the hall exist naturally in a perfect balance remove one, and the whole is imperfect if not endangeredThe exhibit is proof to the hope that the worlds rainforests will never exist solely as a carefully preserved artifact (something man-made) 63What is this passage mainly about? AThe reproduction of the rainforest at a New York museum BThe history of the American Museum of Natural History CVisitors interest in the rainforest reproduction at a New York museum DSaving rainforests in the Central African Republic 64How did the museum collect the data in the Central African Republic?
