1.It_________ (say) that house prices will continue to go up in the next few
years.
Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wan?ted to do. My degree, with honours, in English litera?ture had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world some?how, but I had no idea how to do that. That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volun?teer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Nei?ther did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for appli?cation. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja,Nigeria. Where? What? Ni?geria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the vil?lage that was small and desperately in need of proper ac?commodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes? hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of lo?cal people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period ， I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

The number of people attending high school and college reunions(重聚)has reduced. There are a lot of people who say Facebook is good enough and that they don't want to get together. Mindy Crouchley is one of them. "I can keep in touch with anyone I'm interested in through this medium(媒介).There's nothing more a reunion could give me."
I am a huge fan of Facebook. But having just at?tended my 40th high school reunion, I can say to Mindy and others that Facebook can't substitute the experi?ences you get at a reunion face to face and across a crowded room. They include the sound of a once-famil?iar voice calling out to you and the pleasure that comes with recognizing an old teammate after only a moment's hesitation.
Facebook is to a reunion what Mindy's yearbook is to a novel ： the level of detail you get on Facebook can't be equal to what you find face to face. For example, a classmate told me about a trip he had taken to see his dying teacher; it taught him the importance of telling people what they mean to you when they are still alive.
Of course nearly half of the 70 students in our class didn't make it. At the closing dinner, a classmate said, "Please raise your glass to the three members of the class of 1971 who have died. " Of course, five and ten years from now, at our next reunions, the list of those to whom we raise a glass will be longer. We may hear about their death through Facebook. But face to face, in a community of classmates, something deeper happens ： you are forced to admit life is short, which makes you feel grateful for your blessings and make the most of what remains.
