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
16、to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be. Of course this solution may not work for you. You m

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. With the cost of housing a prisoner at about 20,000 a year the cost in 1999 for keeping all these prisoners behind bars is about 39 billion. Some experts argue that the money is well spent, saying
23、 the cost of keeping prisoners behind bars doesn“t seem much in comparison in the 1990s coincided with (与相一致) a steady drop in the US crime rates.

Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyball. In the summer, add on tennis and swim lessons. All of this means that dad, Da
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. A school teacher, has become the new thing that shows your status(地位)。 “ It used to be a house or car,“ says C
30、arlson. “Now you say,“ You“er busy? You should see how busy we are. “ In hope of getting their children into Harvard, many parents send their children to violin lessons at 3 and sign them up for tennis as soon as they“re big enough to hold a bat.

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.

43、ic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man“s throat if he tried to speak.

There isn“t such damp chill (潮冷)“, he said, and then
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.

48、 back to the train station after leaving the stranger at the tavern.Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a g
49、ood word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past.
