She was a bit worried，but by pushing herself she finally（41）B it to the other side of the pool．As she stood in the（42）D water，her body swayed （摇晃） back and forth．Realizing she needed help but unable to even say anything，she leaned against the poolside and stood there．

Have you ever been in （46）A and chosen not to ask for help？We've all been there．One suggestion is to listen to your instincts （直觉） and（47）B others．There is nothing wrong with that，or June （48）A have drowned．
Perhaps you find yourself avoiding help because you are afraid you will be（49）B．Please，stop and ask for help（50）D you find yourself"drowning"．Life has many ups and downs．Let others help you when you are （51）B．
When you find yourself （52）A to"keep your head above water"，stop，look around and listen．In such a situation，if you （53）C，you'll almost certainly slip further into trouble．Always take （54）D to listen to your body，and be kind to yourself．You will find that doing so makes the（55）A of life much happier and more fulfilling．

20．You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk．Do you stop to help？In a study of by-standers，it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved．
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed．"says a psychologist．"The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help．In order to take action，you have to work against them．"Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping．
●Why should I be the one？I'm probably not the most competent（有能力的） person in this crowd．You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance．
●What if he doesn't really need my help？The fear of embarrassment is powerful； no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others．
●No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem．We can follow the people around us，but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public．
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction，force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on，"says the psychologist．"Then retry to involve other people； you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful．Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying，‘It looks like we should do something．'Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and，if not，to call for one．Once you take action，most people will follow you．"

President Thomas Jefferson，however，knew that tomatoes were good to eat．He was a learned man．He had been to Paris，where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes．He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden．The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup．This beautiful pink soup was served at the President's party．The guests thought the soup tasted really good．They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples．
Jefferson never spoke to his honored （忠实的） guests about the fact．

5．A young man and an old man were waiting for a bus．（61）Theysat next to each other．"What's that in your bag？"asked the young man，pointing to a big bag beside the old man．
"Gold．There was nothing but gold，"answered the old man．The young man could not believe his own ears and was （62）ingreat surprise．Then he began to think about （63）howto get the money．The old man was very tired and it seemed that he could hardly keep his eyes open．After a while the old man （64）lay（lie） down on the chair and fell asleep．
The young man took （65）the big bag gently and quietly．But when he was just about to run away，he found a corner of his fur coat was under the old man's body．Several times he tried to pull it out，（66）but in vain（徒劳）．At last he took off his coat，（67）thinking（think） that the gold in the bag must cost far more than his fur coat．
Worried but （68）delighted（delight），the young man ran out of the station as quickly as his legs could carry him，until he reached a place （69）where he thought the old man couldn't find him．He stopped and （70）quickly （quick） opened the bag but he just found a great many of small stones in it．Then he ran back to the station hurriedly only to find that the old man was gone．
15．I was as normal as other children，totally exposed to brilliant sunshine and splendid world．However，I became blind at four after falling off a box car in a yard and landing on my head．Now I am thirty-two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again，but a calamity（灾难） can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind．I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．
　　Life，I believe，asks adjustments to reality．The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments，the more meaningful his own private world becomes．The adjustment is never easy．I was totally confused and frightened．But luckily，my parents and teacher saw my potential to live，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness．
　　The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn't been able to do that，I would have broken down and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself，I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone，but something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections，a real，positive person； that somewhere in the complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．
　　It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball and urged me to roll it around．His words stuck in my head．"Roll it around!"By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball．Later I invented a successful variation of baseball-groundball．
　　I have set a series of goals and tried to reach them，one at a time．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．
