11.I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.This year,a very sweet old lady that I cared for,Alice,had gone through a difficult time.She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice.In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home".Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen,she was very sad.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy,I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve,I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
Instead of taking her to my church,I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were.We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in.Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift:the smile on Alice's face.

Many language experts believe that evolution is (52)D for our ability to produce and use language.They (53)C that our highly evolved brain provides us with an innate (inborn:天生的) language ability not found in lower organisms (生物,有机体).Those who support this innateness theory say that our (54)A for language is inborn,but that language develops gradually,as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are critical (55)B time for language development.
Current (56)A of innateness theory are mixed; however,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities can not be denied.(57)C,more and more schools (流派) are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in (58)D grades.Young children often can learn several languages by being (59)B to them,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the (60)C of their first language have become firmly fixed.
(61)A some aspects of language are innate,language does not develop automatically of itself.Children who have been (62)D from other human beings do not possess language.This demonstrates that interaction or communication with other human beings is necessary for proper language development.Some language experts believe that this is even more basic to human language acquisition (习得) than any innate abilities.These theorists view language as imitative,learned behavior.(63)C,children learn language from their parents by imitating them.Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by giving (64)B feedback to precise imitations and negative feedback to imprecise ones.

But the reason may be more(54)A:hitchhiking happens where people don't have cars and transport services are poor.Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania.Perhaps the rising level of (55)B in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange.Why can't they afford cars?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old.The (56)A hitchhiking population is therefore small.Yet my trip proves it's still
(57)A to hitchhike.The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer,retired surgeon,tank commander,carpenter,man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains.My(58)D is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red,spotted scarves.Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn't help(59)B.
The(60)A of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet,via sites such as hitchhikers.org.But for now,you can still stick your thumb out (actually,I didn't do much of that,(61)C just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful,caring,sharing,unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK,with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service,I don't think I'll make a
(62)B of it.But having(63)A it so much,I'm ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond.In the 1970s a female friend of my wife's hitchhiked to India.How wonderful it would be to have another go,though Afghanistan might be a(n) (64)D.I wish I'd got that tank commander's mobile number.
