In a class I teach adults.I gave the task to “Go to someone you love, and tell them that you love them.”At the beginning of the next   1  , one of the students began by saying, “I was   2   with you last week when you gave us this   3  .But as I began driving home my conscience(良心)started talking.Then I knew   4   who I needed to say ‘I love you’to.Five years ago, my father and I had a   5   and never really resolved it.We   6   seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at family gatherings.We hardly   7   to each other.So by the time I got home, I had   8   myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.Just   9   that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.At 5∶30, I was at my parents’house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would   10   the door.  11   luck would have it, Dad did answer the door.I didn’t   12   any time-I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just   13   over to tell you that I love you.’It was as if a change came over my dad.Before my   14   his face softened, the wrinkles(皱纹)seemed to   15   and he began to cry.He   16   out and hugged me and said, ‘I love you too, son, but I’ve never been able to say it.’But that’s not   17   my point.Two days after that visit, my dad had a heart attack and is in the hospital.I don’t even know if he’ll   18   it.So my   19   to all of you is this:Don’t wait to do the things you know need to be done.What if I had waited to tell my dad?Take the   20   to do what you need to and do it now!”

From the earliest times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures.

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.

The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(炮台). In 1190, it was the king's castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to keep out his enemies.5u

Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.

During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.

When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ is the best known painting in the museum today.

In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.

On the whole, this passage is mainly about________.???

A. an art museum called the Louvre   B. an Italian artist named Leonardo da Vinci

A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.In a natural reflex, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money.I just need help finding the post office.”
In an instant, I realized what I had done.I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself.This incident re-awakened my belief in humility(谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S.at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother.Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见).I remember a time, at age 17 —— I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.By the way, I helped that lady to the post office.And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
【小题1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _______.

A.the author regretted his act of prejudice
