18、e ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice.

25、e one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet.

The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile(简介)

26、 which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional(可选择的), but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile.

28、cellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests. Just as in conventional(传统的) dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking t

29、o on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital(婚姻) status, income, and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full o

Romantic loveC Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors,

34、in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. Thats when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I coul

35、d about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the sup

36、port of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.

38、od as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse.

39、those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man.
