In such a case it“s hard to know what to do. You don“t want to he so o

15、bvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him. A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I“ve ever seen. Instead of telling her admirer directly, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged

21、990s than in any decade in its history. That started a debate over the wisdom of spending billions of dollars to keep nearly 2 million people locked up. According to statistics, the United States ends 1999 with 1983084 men and women in prisons. That shows an increase of nearly 840,000 prisoners duri

22、ng the 1990s and makes the United States the country with the highest prisoner population in the world.

29、rwin, a teacher, and mom, Joann, a nurse, spend a lot of time making sure everyone gets where he needs to be. Family dimmers? Forget about it. A busy family timetable, says Barbara Carlson.

32、even more - time to connect with their family members. Professor William J. Doherty, a University of Minnesota professor of family social science says that if parents and children don“t make time for each other, there will be problems.

36、 understand honour and responsibility.It“s Christmas again. We live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren“t much good. You can“t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth (污秽) and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money t

37、hat we“ve saved isn“t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a group of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and

38、 when she couldn“t eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer (阴沟). Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House (教育中心) isn“t rich, but she knows things, she understands people.

44、 it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen scarves. “You“ll have a cold drive going back,“ he said anxiously, and put up

45、 his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible. “I shall not have to go back!“ cried the girl, with eager pleasantness. “I“m on my way home now.
