“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.” Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please?

13.There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th level.On coming home one day,they realized that the lift wasn't working and that the only choice was the stairway.
By the time they reached the 20th floor,they were breathing quickly and tired,so they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day.When they struggled to the 40th floor,the younger brother started to complain and both of them began to quarrel all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20more floors to climb,and decided to stop quarreling and continued climbing in peace.They silently climbed on and arrived home at last.Both of them stood calmly in front of the door.After a short rest,they suddenly realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.

Being free of the pressure and stress,we work enthusiastically and have high hopes.But by the time we're 40years old,we start to lose our dreams.We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize.Reaching 60,we realize that we have little left for complaining any more and we began to walk the final stage in peace and calmness.We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us.Only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we still have unrealized dream-a dream we gave up 60years ago.

The next time you go grocery shopping, try speaking to other customers. One summer day, I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than groceries.

I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store, and not just for the amazing colors provided by summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries. It's also because I just love watching people pick their produce.

The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes—along with a woman in her late 70s. Despite the fact that we were strangers, we began to discuss apples. She noted a problem with the Pink Ladies. "They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the tree," she said, twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple.

I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing. I surely do. I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from an apple tree. This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering such topics as nutrition, new foods and the quality of produce.

By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation. The three of us continued along, unexpected friends, chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have serving healthful foods that please the whole family.

Eventually we all went our separate ways, but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a small voice say, "I finally caught up with you." It was the first woman I'd talked to, extending a bag of apricots(杏) to me. "I don't know if your family will eat these," she added, "but they have a super deal on them."

Again I was brought back to my childhood, when I also ate apricots straight from the tree. My mouth watered at the remembered flavor.

The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce. With that offering came a sense of community, a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger. She brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree—and a feeling that somehow those apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place.

1.At first sight the planet Mars(火星)does not appear very welcoming to any kind of life.It has very little oxygen and water,the temperature at night is below 50degrees and winds of 100miles (161kilometers)per hour cause severe dust storms.However,the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it at some time in the past,and it is believed that there would be enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted.Although there is no life on the Mars now,some scientists think there may have been some form of life a long time ago.At that time,the planet had active volcanoes(火山); the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water.In fact,in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth,where life exists.
Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced.The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere.With warmth,water and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳),simple plants could begin to grow.These plants could slowly make the Mars fit to live on.It is judged that the whole process might take between 100,000and 200,000years.In the meantime,people could begin to live on the planet in a special closed environment.They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on Mars and the problems connected with living there.
