He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 5___ bit of the cocoon. The 6 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven (无用的) wings.

It"s easy to see how to help others, but what about those whose needs aren"t so obvious? This story may have happened a while back, but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since. It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the poor. We stood behind the counter dishing out hot food to whoever came in. most of our dinners looked like they had been having hard times, their clothes old, worn and dry. In short, they looked poor! Then, a man came in, who looked anything but poor. He was well dressed, wearing an expensive suit. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station, the more I muttered. What was this man doing? I wanted to know. Surely he wasn"t gong to take food. Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, "You have assumed that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, inadequate shelter and needs are emotional? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?" her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man, but I didn"t. About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can"t help but wonder if it came from that man. Now, whether I meet others, I remember my mother"s words and try to send kindness and blessings to them, regardless of how they look. Needs aren"t always visible. But kindness always makes a difference. |
1. The task of the author at the shelter was to_______. |
A. decide whether dinners looked poor B. learn life experience there C. serve hot food to the poor D. help parents order dishes |
2. When the man waited in line, how did the author feel? |
A. Surprised B. Pitiful C. Excited D. Angry |
3. The author felt he should apologize to the man, because he_______. |
A. was asked to do so by his mother B. gave the man food much less than others C. realized something was wrong with the man D. knew later that the man went there to donate |
4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? |
A. We should show others kindness whatever their needs are B. Some needs can"t be known clearly at times C. Needs can always be met by kindness D. We should find out others" needs |

We all know that money can"t make us happy, but many times we act as if we"d be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be richer; we are trained to want the latest style that television tells us; we want to earn more money because then we"ll have a good life. But none of that will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it can take us decades of pursuing (追求) wealth and expensive things before we realize that. So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, there are three things that don"t cost anything. Here they are: Good relationships. We have a human need to be close with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. Therefore, take time, today, to stay with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them, and to develop your r elationships with them. Positive thinking. Optimism(乐观) is one of the best indicators of people who lead a happy life. Happy people feel empowered, in control of their lives. So why not make positive thinking a habit? In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days 一 the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task. Having work and leisure(休闲)that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find the greatest enjoyment not when they"re passively mindless, but when they"re absorbed in a mindful challenge. If you are interested in some kind of work and keen on some kind of hobbies, it is not a bad idea. Turn off the TV 一 this is the opposite of flow 一 and then go outside and do something that truly makes you active.

Childhood was an illusion(错觉) and the illusion was this:everything was bigger. No, I ruean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and joumeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. "Are we there yet, Daddy?" Funfairs(游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an un- thinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain was unbearable. As I"ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion? I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world.l can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh with them, sonletimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I"m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little. |
