Recently I was invited to a friend¡¯s house for supper¡ªand had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little surprised. It¡¯s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it¡¯s just that he never 21more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 22for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 23_ -table was waiting for us.¡°Nothing but the best for my friends!¡±said Ben. We all sat down and looked 24 at each other¡ªwhat was he up to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.¡°It¡¯s a mixture of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,¡±said Ben. The next 25was also a little strange in that we didn¡¯t quite know what it was again. It¡¯s just another mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 26 turned back to what we were eating.¡°Was there a recipe(ʳÆ×) for this,¡±asked Marina,¡°or did you 27 it up?¡±Ben put his fork down.¡°What I cooked depended on what I could find.¡±Marina was surprised.¡°But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.¡±¡°But there¡¯s 28 choice in what you can find outside supermarkets,¡±he replied.
Seeing that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually throw away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of __29, boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had successfully provided a decent(ÌåÃæµÄ) meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 30 millions of people.

Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task¡ªespecially when the speaker is confusing. Don¡¯t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:
51.
When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it down. And breathe.
52. .
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.
53. .
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (ÔðÈΣ©on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation. And it¡¯s confusing for them to listen, reorganise, and figure out what you¡¯re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organise.
54. .
Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can¡¯t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.
55. .
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal¡ªeven if it¡¯s something simple like, ¡°If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.¡±Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with ¡°Thanks for your time. ¡±
Recently I was invited to attend a party that helps children seriously injured in the big earthquake that happened this May. I went because I 31 .
At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I 32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 34 and lifeless. It lacked (ȱ·¦) the bright colors that his fellow (ͬ°é) ¡°_35_¡± had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 36 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 37 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, ¡°There is 39 anyone can do that will help.¡±
I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, ¡°It isn¡¯t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better¡but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (Óµ±§), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.¡± I also told him that I¡¯d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, ¡°My heart is 49 colors. It is getting brighter. Those 50 really do work.¡± On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.
