13、was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,“ he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here. “On his way back, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but sh
14、e didnt have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boys arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the gro
15、ceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!“ she said. “Youve got great timing (适时)!“Just being neighborly (友好的),“ Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus passed by. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up. “ Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe thats a good place t

Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If
21、you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you
22、 happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more
23、active.

Ones first impression is likely to be that every
29、one is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with
30、 people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things
31、 done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?“ Most people will stop, smile at you, an
32、d help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁) ; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.（分数：15.00）(1).Many people who first visit the United Stat

38、on flood TV screen, radio programs, magazines and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their app
39、earance and youth?But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt“ or “granny“ can still maintain he
40、r beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart and concern for others.In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts.

When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it f
46、rom tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums (鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats we
47、re sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages.

48、e moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet (字母表).
