Many years ago, when I was in high school and working weekends to pay for the extras that my folks couldn’t really afford, I lost my wallet.

My old car needed putting gas in the back. I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杆), and drove off . I hadn’t even had time to miss it when our phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my wallet and to my surprise, I didn’t find it. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.

As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van(残疾人车)and the ramp(斜坡)going up to the house I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.

I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck , though. I didn’t want to insult him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. so I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said “Just pass it on”. I said I would be certain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any circumstance(状况) and I would have done so, without promising this fellow I would, but I wanted to repay his kindness, so I willingly promised I would.

Empathy, the Key to Being Kind

In science class, your teacher tells everyone to find a partner for a project. Out of the comer of your eye, you notice one girl sitting alone and not making eye contact with anyone. You think about asking her to be your partner, but you're afraid people will think you're uncool. You don't reach out. 1.

Empathy is being able to understand and actually feel what someone else is feeling. For some people, this comes naturally; for others, it takes a bit more work. 2. When you practice being empathetic, it gets easier to make kindness a part of your everyday life. If you can understand why people are feeling down, you'll want to help them. Here are some ideas that can help you.

3. Someone not being able to find a group in class might not seem like a big deal—but part of being kind is noticing when someone seems sad, hurt or uncomfortable. After all, you have to notice how people feel in order to feel empathy and want to help them!

When you're trying to make kindness second nature, really getting other people's feelings is important 4. Think about a time when you felt that way. Didn't you wish someone would reach out to you? If someone had offered you a few words of comfort, wouldn't it have made you feel so much happier?

So, when you find people around you who are feeling down next time, do not hesitate to put yourself in their shoes and reach out to them with a kind gesture. 5. There is always a time when you expect others to relate to you and feel what you feel.

2. Handwritten notes that are given to encourage someone, not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwritten notes even more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an encouraging note on a regular basis.

Communication

People learn and share information through communication. All forms of communication have one thing in common: the sending and receiving of a message. Using different kinds of communication, people can pass along their ideas and feelings to just one person or to millions.

1. Animals communicate through sounds, scents (气味), and acts. Computers communicate with other computers through electronic networks.

People communicate through language, both spoken and written. 2. Written language includes books, newspapers, and e-mail.

People also communicate without words. Body and face movements show feelings. Deaf people use hand movements called sign language.

The arts are also a form of communication. 3.

The first modern humans appeared about 200,000 years ago. They likely used sounds, movements, and then speech. About 30,000 years ago humans started making paintings and sculptures on the walls of caves.

Humans invented writing more than 5,000 years ago. The ancient Sumerian people developed the first known script (文字), called cuneiform (楔形文字). Then the ancient Egyptians developed a picture-based writing called hieroglyphics (象形文字). The invention of the printing press in the 1400s was a major advance in written communication. 4.

Telecommunication is communication over long distances. In ancient times pigeons carried written messages. Before trains and cars, messengers on foot or on horseback carried letters. 5. Since then, telecommunication has become faster thanks to television, telephones, and the Internet.

A. It let printers quickly make copies of a text.

B. Communication is not only a human activity.

C. Public postal services started in the 1500s and 1600s.

D. Spoken language includes conversations and speeches.

E. Spoken communication is dependent on a number of factors.

F. Photographs, paintings, music, and movies can communicate feelings as well as facts.

G. Modern technologies for long-distance communication usually involve electrical technologies.

It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time,and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true,possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic devices,a reading-material explosion,a popular interest toward tight or pocket less clothing,or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.

But,much as nature finds ways—such as disease—to control overpopulation,city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags.To enter many public buildings,such as theatres and railway stations,you must go through a search or go bagless.The city has countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight,and you're never sure,when leaving home for the day,whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.

Last week,the New York Public Library got in the game.Students,researchers,writers,historians,and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library.If you walk in with one,you must leave it at the coat check.You may keep its contents with you,however,and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.

What the library is trying to prevent,in this case,is people taking things out,rather than bringing things in.A librarian said on the second day,”It’s a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats.The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so.The people who steal will continue to get away with it,if they really want to.”

1.How many reasons does the author list to explain the changes related to bags?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

2.What do the bag rules in many public buildings require people to do?

A. Have their bags examined. B. Pay for bringing in bags.

C. Leave the places bagless. D. Use big clear plastic bags.

3.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?

A. To change people’s way of reading.

B. To prevent people stealing things.

C. To help people better use the library.

D. To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.

4.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?

A. Excellent. B. Satisfactory. C. Harmful. D. Limited.
