19、of us fortunate enough to get around on our own two legs dont give a second thought to the person in a wheelchair next to us at a crosswalk. That would require us to look down. So I decided to try using a wheelchair to get a sample of what their lives are like. It wasnt long before I saw that people
20、 who use wheelchairs are forced to deal with a lot of trouble. During my experiment, I was ignored by store staff while shopping and bumped into by inattentive (疏忽的 ) walkers without so much as an apology. Some people even gave me angry looks as if I were the one at fault. Once in a store, a woman b
21、umped into me trying to get to the new iPad. She didnt say, “Excuse me.” When salespeople did offer assistance, they talked to people who were with me, instead of me. I wanted to yell: “Hey, Im down here!” Some salespeople talked to me as though I were a child or acted like they didnt want to be bot
22、hered with me. People who use wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else. They also comprehend (理解 ), so you dont have to speak to them in a childlike, sing-song voice.

29、ho acts like they deserve (应得 ) something just because is a disaster,” he said. In his new book, Life Is What You Make It: Finding Your Own Path to Fulfillment, Buffett says that the only real inheritance (遗产 ) handed down from his parents was a philosophy (价值观 ): Forge your own path in life. It is
30、a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap (收获 ) his own successes.

37、 you can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English. Well, heres a secret for you: a lot of British people cant understand each other either! Apart from the different regional accents across the country, language can also differ (不同 ) among age groups.
38、The words and pronunciations used by young Britons can be very different to those used by adults. This is called “yoof” culture. The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语 ) spelling of “youth”. Some people consider “yoof” to be a negative (消极的 ) term, since its pronunciation is easier than “youth”. Other peopl
39、e see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts (观念 ) and identity. When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the censorship (审查 ) of their parents. In this way, young people are s
40、tarting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. They are creating a “yoof culture”. It is impossible to come up with a complete list of words used by yoof.

Researchers from the University of Essex, UK have found that a s little as
45、 five minutes of a “green activity” such as walking, gardening, cycling or farming could help to improve mood and increase self-esteem (自信 ). Many studies have shown that outdoor exercise can reduce the risk of mental illness and improve a sense of well-being, but the new study, led by Jules Pretty
46、and Jo Barton, was the first to determine how much time needed to be spent on green exercise for the benefits to show. Barton and Pretty looked at data from 1,252 people of different ages, genders (性别 ) and mental health status (情况 ) taken from 10 studies in Britain. They analyzed their different ou
47、tdoor activities including walking, gardening, cycling, fishing, boating, horse-riding and farming in locations such as a park, garden or nature trail (路径 ).
