This is a story  that happened 15 years ago but it has always stayed with me since then.On the way back from work every evening,more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway.He always waved at every car,he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.Every day after work when I got there，I would quickly roll down my window and give him the coins.Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day.His answer would always be the same，“I’m blessed！”.

It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive，and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids,with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.Needless to say that on my was home that day I was very sad and upset.I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.I wasn’t feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be.Yet there he was as alway，as l turned the ramp.He set his eyes on me，while still smiling and waving at others.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn，he strolled over to my car.He had a big smile he looked me straight in the eyes and said “today I will give you a dollar”.He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.I was blown away.I burst into tears.I wanted to jump out of my car and hug him！

You see that day he gave me more than a dollar bill，he taught me a valuable lesson.No matter  what material things are taken  from you，no one can take away your choice to be joyful.

What is the passage mainly concerned？

A.A dollar bill from a homeless person.

B.A blessing coming from a homeless person.

B.still felt joyful when coming off the ramp

The underlined phrase“blown away”in the 3rd paragraph most probably  means

Do you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.
Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.
Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.[来源:Z_xx_k.Com]
Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there’s no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.
I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.

 Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  26  problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客）．In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  27  ．But what makes blogging different from writing in a（n） 28  diary?

       The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   29   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   30   that he does not want to   31  with others.

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   32  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   33  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  34  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   35  in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  36  that my sister might read it.

The biggest   37   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   38  about him in my diary, he would never know.  39  ,  if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might   40  her blog and get angry.

There are also   41   to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   42  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly   43   and tell her how much they  44   her. Blogs help people   45  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
