Wings of Angel 

I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   36  . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   37   than others.

I hated going to school and I hated people   38   at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   39   and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).

My friends found me   40   because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   41   Angela appeared.

That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would   42   me. That’s when I first heard her voice.

“Hi. Can I sit down?”

I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.

“What are you looking at?” she asked.

“Ants.”

“What are they doing?”

“No idea.”

“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”

That was how our   43   started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.

Then suddenly, she saw my   44  . She just stared.

    My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   45   me now.

She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know   46   your back is hunched.”

I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced. I begged in my heart for her to   47  , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”

“No,” I answered   48  .

She bent and whispered in my ears.

“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”  

I was   49  . I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   50   myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you've visited,Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact, it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen ---- the 21st century replacement of being caught naked.

Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is: Does that matter?

For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."

When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."

But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)。

But privacy does matter ---- at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.

1.What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caught naked"?

A. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.

B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.

C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.

D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.

2.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

C. There should be a distance even between friends.

D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.

3.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?

A. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.

B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.

C. There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.

D. Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.

4.What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?

A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.

B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions(交易)..

C. They rely most and more on electronic devices.

D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

5.According to the passage, privacy is like health because ___.

A. people will make every effort to keep it.

      B. its importance is rarely understood

C. it is something that can easily be lost

      D. people don't treasure it until they lose it

 

When you leave school,you can breathe sigh of relief and leave learning behind,right?Wrong!Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong,and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.

An English idiom says,“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But scientists have discovered that isn’t true. Older people can learn,and they should,in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said,“It’s like a health club for the brain.” Also,universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free!Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available,there is no excuse not to learn!

Learning is a habit. Don’t leave it behind after you leave school. On the website lifehack.org,author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.

Always have a book. It doesn’t matter if you read fast or slow. Just read. If you read just one book a week,you’ll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you’ll gain!

Practice it. As you read,do something with what you’ve learned. Don’t just enjoy the mental exercise. Use the knowledge. If you read about painting,try it!

Make a “to learn” list. Compose a “to learn” list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English,play the piano,or cook French food. Whatever interests you,put it on your list and then make the time to do it.

Teach others. Whatever you learn,teach someone else. You’ll not only help others but also understand what you’ve learned.

How to make friends with people from a different culture? The rules are as follows:

Appreciate the Person.

Most Americans like to be recognized as individuals as someone special with unique personalities. Therefore, never say, “You’re from America so I want to be your friend.” Also don’t imply that the reason why you approached them is that you wanted someone to practice your English with. That turns people off. Instead try saying,” You seem like a real nice and interesting person and I would like to get to know you better.” This way, they are much more inclined to be friendly because you see them as a three dimensional person and appreciate them for who they are in the inside. And by doing so, you not only learn about Americans and practice your English, but also gain a real friend in the process.

Quit Calling Us Foreigners.

Please avoid calling a foreigner a foreigner especially in his face. The word makes people feel like an outsider, and even unwelcome, suggesting separation and insurmountable differences, widening an already existing gap in the situation. When Americans travel, they rarely say, “ I’m foreign to your place.” They tend to say, “ I’m new in town. I’m new here.” The reason is because new and unfamiliar things can become old and familiar. But can foreign things become native? Aha? You catch my drift.

Just Do It.

Some students like to be told about American culture but are less interested in spending the time and the effort to actually experience it. As Americans always say, “ Get your hands dirty.” You should have first hand and hands on experience, or you’ll never really know anything.

Find that Common Language.

Now I must stress the importance of finding a common language. By that I don’t mean English, Chinese, German, French, etc. I mean finding something you have in common with another person on a spiritual and philosophical level: likes, dislikes, worldviews, ways of thinking , and attitudes toward life. And to start, you must first enhance your knowledge of the particular culture from which your potential new friend comes form.

1.The underlined sentence “ Get your hands dirty” means     .

   A. get involved                 B. start with dirty work

   C. talk about American culture     D. don’t wash your hands too often

2. Americans prefer to make friends with those who     .

   A. avoid talking about their homeland

   B. recognize their personalities

   C. obey rules of communicating with friends

   D. needn’t practice English while playing together

3.According to the passage, which of the following is friendly?

   A. I am longing to make friends with an American.

   B. This is my friend Tom, who is a foreigner.

   C. There must be a gap between us in many things.

   D. You’ve got a great personality.

4.
