How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat next to me on the airplane, She had to lower herself slowly, trying hard to push her fat body into the seat, filling all available space.I didnt reply and moved a little towards the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.“Hi!” I replied.“My name is Laura. Im from Britain. How about you?” she talked excitedly. “Malaysia.” I said coldly.Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “I dont want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity(真诚).To my surprise, the face that I had disliked hours before slowly showed a nice smile - lively and calm at the same time.

During our conversation, Laura managed to make every person on the plane who served us walk away laughing at her jokes.I asked Laura, “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You arent worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?” “Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. Im this size because I was born to be big! There is more to life than worrying about weight all day long.”She drank her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it!

Hobbies also offer more interesting activities for persons who have retired (退休).

Hobbies give patients something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves.In early years, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies. But some persons who were free enjoy hobbies.People today have more time than before for hobbies. Machines have reduced (减少) the amount (数量) of time they must spend on their jobs.

He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants (助理) read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed. All the while, Pliny took notes. He even considered walking a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read.All of this was preparation for his Historia Naturalis (博物志). The book was published in A.D. 77. It is considered the oldest surviving encyclopedia on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from mice to Mars.“No Roman author has completed such a project,” Pliny proudly announced. Unluckily, two years after publishing (出版) the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster.Accidents can hardly be avoided (避免). However, they can be recorded. Editors of encyclopedias, like Pliny, organize the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books pass through the ages. They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record.Therefore, in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know. Its also a record of what they dont know.Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too, when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the Sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago. These were all he truly knew.Similarly, both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some incorrect information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only represent what their editors know.“The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,” said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher. Encyclopedias cant record all of the human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someone you, perhaps to improve them.20 . According to the article, before Pliny the Elder completed his Historia Naturalis, _.ANobody had considered walking a waste of timeBThere was no encyclopedia on EarthCNobody knew what Mars wasDNo Roman author had completed an encyclopedia21 .

The author expects his readers to _.Afind all the mistakes in Historia NaturalisBimprove an encyclopediaCcomplete the task of editing an encyclopediaDtake a look at the worlds biggest encyclopediasBANG! the door caused a reverberation(回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger. Never set foot in this house again! shouted father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the apartment and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feeling. I walked aimlessly(漫无目的).A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are different in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behavior on me.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I walked on the streets, without an aim in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. I walked on until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached where I lived, I saw all the lights were off except fathers. I thought to myself, Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After an argument, he never showed any moments of regret. However, he always has the habit of moving quietly and putting my arms underneath the quilt in my sleep.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. Am I wrong? I whispered, maybe . With the key in my hand, I was very nervous. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw my father making my bed, my tears running down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us disappeared completely. Love its second to none.24 .

She said to him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.The air hostess was kept so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up to take his medicine. Thirty minutes later, when the passengers ring for service sounded, the air hostess hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it.In the following hours on the plane, each time the air hostess passed the passenger, she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not.
