On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didnt have any, so Isaid no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change (零钱)?” I smiled, and said no again.He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didnt haveanything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didnt know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.”He replied like a gentleman,“Thank you so much.Thats very kind of you.”I always believe no matter how hard up (缺钱) I am, there are always those who are worse offthan I.

My grandpas farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age.I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, askquestions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasnt fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and thats OkayIm unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life.When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two placespeople who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldntchange the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasnt worth it. Realizing this didnt stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me.These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldnt change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances . Being different is okay.28.

Everything comes to the man who waits. B. It is the first step that is troublesome.C. Speech is silver, silence is gold.D. Keep your head up.DIt has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)wasnt fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (刮痧), a 2001 filmthat tells the story of a Chinese man in the US whos accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandsons disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all overthe world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,”Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu ( 青蒿素 )-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famousinternationally.However, all these achievements in TCM dont mean that its problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, iswhere the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative ofthe World Health Organization.32. The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to .A. introduce the film to readersB. show TCM is increasingly popularC. arouse readers interest in Western medicineD. prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries33. We can learn from the passage that .A. TCM is not exact in curing diseasesB. 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC. 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMD. Tu Youyous success contributes to the popularity of TCM34. According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should_ _.A. combine western medicineB. face no challenge at allC. give an exact description of its effectsD. compete with western medicine35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A report on TCMB. Opinions about TCMC. TCM & Western MedicineD.

Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.Reach out to others, but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria wont make you best friends. 36 It also can make it easier to interact the next time.Find a safe place to make connections.

Lonely people hunger for acceptance and friendship,Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others.38 Teach a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make after reaching out in these ways.39 Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships, not of a particular quantity of friends.
