him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 1 lesson in life by the great example you 2 . When we
were eating at the café in Bondi and a person who had 3 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay
for it, without any 4 , you went over and put the 5 $2 into his hand .
When we were leaving, you 6 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 7 like, "Some kids
will really enjoy 8 this."
Last week, a young man 9 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 10 money to pay for his petrol.
I asked the money collector, "How much 11 is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car
12 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and put in 15 13 , which came to just over 14 . That
is an easy mistake 15 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 16 you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6.
He was so 17 and said, "But why would you do this for me?" I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you again, son, for teaching me that "it’s 18 to give than to receive." Now when I see a five-cent
coin on the 19 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 20 , just in case some kid will get a kick
out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.

| Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person"s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you"ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you"re making to learn their names. Admit you don"t know. Admitting that you can"t remember someone"s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. "I"m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?" Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note:"Vicki Cheng-tall, black hair." To reinforce you"re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That"s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you. | |||
| 1. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? | |||

| A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you | |||

| Many people need guidance in choosing a career (职业). Fortunately, there is much information on the Web about job opportunities (机会). With all the information available, it"s not surprising that people can feel confused. So if you"re ready to start your first job or change careers, where do you begin? The Occupation Handbook is a good resource. Regularly updated, the Handbook is available as a book and on-line. Not only is information provided about the United States as a whole, but readers can easily search for information about their particular state. You can read about the fastest-growing occupations in the area where you live and find out what they are like. You can also learn how to apply for jobs. Take, for example, Nadia"s situation. Nadia was a doctor"s assistant in Iran, and her goal in the United States is to become a nurse. However, she needs to work while she is studying nursing. She is interested in becoming a medical assistant to help work her way through college. When going on-line to the Handbook and searching under "medical assistant", Nadia is happy to read that this is expected to be one of the fastest- growing careers through 2010. Besides, job opportunities are even better for people with experience. She discovers that medical assistants not only have to do some office work, but have medical responsibilities as well. Nadia decides this job will be interesting and will also provide excellent experience for her nursing career. The Occupation Handbook is just an example of websites that can help you plan a new career. When you have found information about some different careers, you will be ready to talk to career advisers. Choosing your future career is an extremely important decision. It"s worth taking the time and finding as much information as you can. | |||

| Dear Friend, The recent success of children"s books has made the general public aware that there"s a huge market out there. And there"s a growing need for new writers trained to create the ＄3 billion worth of children"s books bought each year……plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers. Who are these needed writers? They"re ordinary folks like you and me. But am I good enough? I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn"t know where to turn for help. Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude (潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed. The promise that paid off The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: You will complete at least one manuscript (手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course. I really didn"t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute. Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children"s books and over 300 stories and articles. Free test and brochure We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home- study courses on the basis of one-on-one training. Realize your writing dream today. There"s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever. Sincerely Kristi Holl, Instructor Institute of Children"s Literature | |||

| Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目的) and leave no mark. Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks. Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: Walking in makes a real adventure. Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees. Which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the nature word. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary. | |||
