I live in a big city with a lot of homeless(无家可归的) people. Luckily there’re small ways of helping them and you needn’t have a lot of 31 . One way to help is to buy their monthly magazine. By doing this one day, I got to 32 a young homeless man. He was often 33 the magazine at the train station.
He was a poor farmer from another country. After a while, I discovered that his 34 was close to mine. It 35__ that we were born in the same month.
I met him last year shortly 36 his birthday, and after congratulating(祝贺) him, without thinking, I asked if he had had a good day. He 37 and said that he hadn’t really celebrated(庆祝). I felt so 38__.
I just couldn’t help(情不自禁) thinking of this nice, young man being 39 on his 25th birthday with no presents, no cake, nothing! So I went home and looked in my yarn(毛线) basket. 40 for me, I had enough yarn left. I set to work and knitted(编织) a 41 for the young man. The yarn had become a little dirty 42 I didn’t knit very often. Then I washed the yarn so the scarf(围巾) would be clean when he got it.
I met him on my own birthday as I was going shopping. I had 43 to meet him so I had carried the scarf and a piece of my own birthday 44 around with me. He was very happy with these gifts and so was I. The 45 in his eyes was the best present he could have given me!

举一反三
Dad loved children. And he always wanted a 1 family. Eventually, he got what he wanted with twelve children in the family. Without fail, he would show us all to visitors.
Once, Dad 2 presented the first three children in the family, Ann, Mary and Ernestine, to some visitors. Then he picked up a fourth child, and said, “And this is our 3 model, complete with all the improvements. And don’t think that this is all, we are 4 the 1953 model some time next month.”
But what he 5 most was taking us out for a drive. On one occasion a man in a village we were passing through shouted 6 that he had seen eleven people in our car, not 7 Mum and Dad. 8 , Dad called out over his shoulder, “You 9 the second baby up from the front here, Mister.”
Another time, Dad told us this joke, though we were not sure whether he was telling us the 10. Mum, who was a psychologist, once went to give a lecture and left Dad in charge of the 11 . When Mum returned, she asked him if everything had been OK. He said everything was 12 except that one of the children had been taught a lesson because he had been 13 . When he pointed at the child that had been 14 Mum looked at him calmly and said, “That’s not one of ours, dear. He 15 next door.”

Dear Volunteers，
The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the entire state.
We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year. That is hardly enough, and we depend on your contact a great deal! It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door. The person inside may be hurt or ill. They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us. If they are frequently absent, we may need to determine if they still need meals.
If you find someone with a medical emergency, please call 911 to request medical assistance, and then call the Meals on Wheels office. If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency, please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050, and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call.
Let us know when a certain person needs extra food. We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them. Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals. Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading. If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library, let us know. We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program. Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals, or if someone needs a space heater, a blanket, or an electric fan. Please convey all needs to us, and we will try to see that they are met. Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers, liver diseases, AIDS, etc. If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of health problems, such as these, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Betty L. Bradley, LBSW,
Executive Director

The story of the touchstone(探金石) tells of a man who was told that if he could find the touchstone, its magical powers could give him anything he wanted. It could be found, he was 31 , among the pebbles (卵石) of a beach. All he need to do is 32 a stone.If it feels warm, the magical touchstone is 33 .
The man rushed to the beach without delay. When he 34 a pebble that felt cold, he threw it into the sea. He 35 this practice for weeks. Each pebble felt cold, and each pebble was 36 thrown into the sea..
But one morning, he 37 to take hold of a pebble that felt 38 , unlike the other stones. The man, who had 39 noticed the difference, threw it into the sea. He hadn’t 40 to, but he had formed a habit that can be 41 to break.
Any behavior one 42 is strengthened. Repeated often enough, it becomes a(n) 43 . A Spanish proverb says, “Habits are first cobwebs (蜘蛛网), then cables (钢索).” It works well for 44 habits that first trap us like a cobweb. And if we continue the behavior, the 45 grows stronger and can be as difficult to break as a steel cable. 46 some habits can work in our 47 , such as patterns of our lives, positive attitudes and healthy ways of thinking. We form our habits, then our habits form us 48 .
When it 49 habits, practice may not make perfect. But practice will certainly make permanent. So form the habits you want and let them 50 you into the person you want to be.

DIY sailor Owen Warboys has finally launched his homemade boat — after spending nearly 30 years building it in his mum’s garden.
Owen, 66, a retired engineer from Hordle, New Milton, Hants, first started work on the 40ft—long boat in 1982 because he could not afford to buy his own. He told mum Edith that it would only take five years but after suffering “a few problems” it lasted nearly three decades.
When he finally finished, he was left with the head-scratching task of getting the 18-tonne boat out of the back garden. After some time he found a way. A huge crane (起重机) was brought in to carefully raise it 40ft in the air over his mother’s house and onto a lorry. It was then driven to the seaside and, to Owen’s delight, it floated and showed no signs of leaking when lowered into the water.
Now, 28 years after he first started, Owen is at last preparing to set sail in his beloved boat, Wight Dolphin, with his long-suffering wife Anne. Owen said, “I am so relieved that it’s finished. There were times when I thought it would never end but I’m the sort of person who likes to finish something once I’ve started.”
At first he persuaded his mum to let him do it in her garden and started taking in sheets of steel and pieces of wood. “My mother was happy for me to build it at her house but only bacause I told her it would only take five years.”
小题1:Why did Owen decide to make his own boat by himself?| A．He wanted to kill time after his retirement | | B．He wished to set a new world record | | C．He didn’t have enough money to buy a boat | | D．He had a hobby of making things by hand |
小题2:What problem did Owen face when he finished his boat?| A．It leaked when lowered into the water | | B．It couldn’t be sent onto a truck | | C．He couldn’t afford to hire a crane. | | D．He didn’t know how to move it out. |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the boat ?| A．It was built by Owen and his supportive wife | | B．It was in good condition after being put in the sea | | C．Owen’s mother was relieved to see it was finished | | D．Owen and his wife will sail around the world in it |
小题4:We can infer from the passage that _____.| A．the boat will enter a race competition | | B．Owen retired early in order to make his boat | | C．Owen’s wife gave the boat the name of Wight Dolphin | | D．It took 23 more years to finish the boat than expected |

Mickey was a nice, cheerful, optimistic boy. No one could remember ever having seen him 36;it seemed he didn’t 37 whatever people said to him. Even his teachers admired his good 38. It was so unusual that a story was going around that Mickey’s 39 must be due to some special secret. They asked Mickey so much that, one afternoon, he 40 his favorite teacher, Mr. Anthony, to tea.

I used to get angrier than all the other kids. 46 years ago, with the help of my parents, I started a small collage. With every little piece I stuck on I added some bad thought or act.”
It was 47. The teacher looked closely at the wall. In each one of the small 48 he could read, “fool”, “silly”, “pain”, “bore”, and a thousand other 49 things.
“This is how I started 50 all my bad times into an opportunity to 51 to my collage. Now I like the collage so much that, each time someone makes me angry, I couldn’t be 52 . They’ve given me a new piece for my work of 53 .”
That day, the teacher was impressed by Mickey’s secret to having an optimistic character. Without telling anyone, on that very day, Mr. Anthony 54 his own collage.
