CNearing the end of our recent off-season beach vacation, we headed for the third hotel of our trip the Quality Inn and Suites Oceanfront at 705 Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach.We

36、 arrived more than an hour before check-in time, hoping we could get in early. And we were happy to learn that the friendly staff did have our room ready. We could unload the car right there and park the car in the garage. The lobby (大厅) was decorated with original paintings. The only seating I noti

37、ced was a sofa close to the check-in desk, not much to keep waiting guests relaxed during the busy season.

38、l was clean, and our room was obviously more spacious (宽敞的) than those where we had stayed on our trip.

40、reat desserts. The hotel staff told me that they still served great desserts, but we did not taste them this time.

DA man was walking on a mountain when he found an amazing cave. Stored inside were all kinds of treasure and pre

44、cious stones. When he saw it, he concealed the cave entrance and stayed there, guarding it.From that day on, the man hid all his valuables in the cave, and to avoid anyone suspecting he was rich, he gave up his job, his home, and his friends. He constantly watched the approaches to his cave, wanting

45、 no one to find out about it. Fearing thieves, he guarded the cave all night long.He was so devoted to the cave that he hardly ate or drank. Before long, he fell ill. Many days passed, and he got thinner and sicker, losing all his strength. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he realized that

46、 it was his greed that had brought him to this extreme end. He understood that guarding his treasure had been of no use and no good. He decided to share it with others.He crawled (爬) into the cave to fetch some jewels, but discovered that the cave was almost empty. All he could find was a small emer

47、ald (绿宝石). He took it and left the cave, intending to give it to the first person passing by. Soon a woman approached and accepted the emerald with great joy. The man said to her, “I could have given you many more riches, but I dont know where they went. This is all I have now.”“Are you sure theres

48、nothing else?” replied the woman. The man shook his head and pointed to the cave. He found that some riches were still there; he saw some gold coins. He said, “Take them with you.” The woman took both the emerald and the coins, and went away happily.In a while, an old man passed by and asked the man

49、 what he was doing there. The man replied, “What bad luck! Just a moment ago I gave a woman the few riches left over from the treasure I was guarding.” “Are you sure theres nothing else?” The old man asked him.The man showed him the cave, and they found a box filled with jewels and gold. The man was

50、 shocked. The old man explained to him, “At last! At last someone has freed himself from the spell (咒语) of this cave. You see, this is a magic cave, and youre the first to pass its great test. Many people have devoted their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing theres nothing here .”“And why

51、does this happen?” said the man. “Why does the treasure appear and disappear?”“My son, this magic cave has as many riches as does your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they all devote themselves to guarding the treasure, the

52、ir hearts begin emptying, and so does the cave. The only way to fill it is to fill your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving that last jewel to the woman. Thats the reason why the cave was filling up again .”And so, the man understood it was better to share than to keep things to himsel

53、f. And, from that day, thanks to the cave and the old man, the man became ever more noble (高尚的) and generous.47.

56、ange over the next 10 years? According to futurist expert Neil Selwyn from the Faculty of Education, Monash University, childrens memory will be able to be improved technologically.
