题目内容

   A young lady was standing on the comer with a map in her hand. She looked puzzled. 1 I wondered why. Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed. She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.

   As I crossed the street and came closer to her I asked if she wanted help. 2 As it turned out she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out,and taking that extra moment to help.

   Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. 3 Many years ago,we travelled in Japan and needed directions. A kind Japanese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Japanese while the man could not speak any English. 4 

   Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger,the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor." 5 But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help,they will be willing to reach out as well.

   A. Although we could not communicate through words,we communicated through the heart.

   B. They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them.

   C. I like helping people this way due to my own experience.

   D. Several people passed by,looked at her but did not stop.

   E. It is never too late to do others a favor.

   F. These words made me feel quite warm.

   G. She thanked me and smiled in relief.

   Whatever we do,let's not forget the burbot (江鲟) , a dark,mysterious,unusual creature which lives down deep in the bottom of deep lakes.

   The fish is “fat looking and a little bit soft”. With large flat heads,small eyes,downtumed mouths full of sharp teeth,they are not exactly pretty. They are also extremely slimy(粘糊糊的) and under the chin is a single long,fleshy barbel(鱼的触须) ,

giving the impression of a goatee(山羊胡子). These characteristics are important. Their teeth are essential for catching a huge variety of food. “They’ re a very greedy animal,says Steve Simpson,marine biologist and lover of burbot at Exeter University. “There are reports of them eating birds,eating snakes,eating frogs 一 they really will eat anything they can get.”

   Once upon a time,they were ice-age fish that once swam freely in a cold world,until the ice moved away 10,000 years ago leaving small populations throughout the northern hemisphere including eastern England. For several months a year burbot can be trapped under ice 一 they need cold temperatures to lay eggs and all that unpleasant thick ice provides excellent protection.

   Although still present throughout the rest of Europe and North America,the only burbot in England today can be found in the rooms of the Natural History Museum in London, preserved in jars. The Angling Times offered a reward of £100 to anyone who found one in the UK,but that money lies unclaimed.

   When it comes to animals threatened with extinction,the cute and soft ones tend to get the most attention. But what about the unattractive ones that go unnoticed when their numbers start to become gradually smaller and smaller? Someone has got to speak up for the burbot.

   Karla L. Miller writes a Washington Post advice column(专栏) on finding your way around the modern workplace. Each week she will answer one or two questions from readers.


Question: I'm Sam. I work part-time,paid hourly. There are only two employees: me and my boss. I receive no paid holidays or sick time,no health insurance,and orie week's paid vacation. For me,this job is just a job,and the salary I earn doesn't guarantee a 24/7 on-call mentality.

   From almost the beginning,my boss has freely called me at home,called my personal cellphone,and emailed my personal account during my off-hours and vacation.

   Five years later,it's still happening despite my having politely asked her several times not to contact me during my non-working hours.

   Each time I ask,she apologizes and stops for a while,but always goes back to the behavior. I never take her phone calls on my cell,but she hasn't got my point.

   The point is,it is never anything that can't wait until the next business day!I am ready to lose it.


Answer: If it won't cost you your job,call block and email filters(过滤器) are one easy path to inner peace.

   It puzzles me that your boss seems to agree she's out of bounds,but then continues to contact you.

   Either she occasionally gets enough response from you to make it worth trying,or she can't help firing off questions on impulse(—时冲动) .

   You could ask her,once and for all,whether she's OK with waiting for .responses.— in which case her afler-hours calls and emails will be answered the next business day 一 or whether she wants instant answers 一 in which case,you will be tracking the time you spend responding so you can be paid for it.

   B. His job is very challenging.
