15、meeting after work. The areas city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,“ he thought. He turne
16、d 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 hag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didnt have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little
17、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.

18、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.

Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist
23、 (乐观者 ), a leader, an active person. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If 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 co
24、lor 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 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
25、 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 active.

31、ubling. Ones first impression is likely to be that everyone 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 th
32、e street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with 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
33、 think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things 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. C

41、ee 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.

48、ver 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.
