9.I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check.I could have used the ATM,but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had,I probably would not have met Harold.
There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up,so I amused myself by watching TV,just waiting my turn.Moments passed.Then,directly in front of me,a tiny elder woman,who was now first in line,started toward one of the counters.But the customer before her didn't finish,so she had to step back.Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly ahead of us.As he was facing the counter,I could see only his white hair and the bright red team jacket.I heard him say to the teller in a deep,strong voice…"Have a Great Day!"and the teller replied,"You too,Harold-see you next week!"
The impatient woman again made her move,heading for the counter.As she passed him,Harold looked up,directly at me,saying,"You are a handsome man,sir."I was so surprised by his statement and struck by the genuine warmth and generosity that filled it that I blurted out"Thank you,sir."instantly reaching out to shake his hand,out even realizing that he was walking with a walking stick.He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm and firm grip."I really care about you!"He spoke again.Then he reached out to the next person in line and said,"I really care about you,too!"
I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift!He was like a 4-year-old,who walked up to everyone,inviting them to play with him.I wondered to myself afterwards.How was he attained this state of grace?Imagine the warm feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world,touching people for just a moment.He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality that is still rippling outward as you hear and hopefully,some of what Harold so unselfishly pass on to me,that In attempt to pass on to you-I really care about you!

“Privacy”is translated as“yin si”in Chinese.Traditionally,in the Chinese mind,“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair.If someone is said to have“yin si”,meddlers(好事者)will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs.So people always state that they don't have“yin si”.

On the contrary,Americans often declare intention to protect their privacy.Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others.One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.

In the evening,Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner.In China,when people mention bars,something bad usually comes to mind.But here,the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid?out place.People spoke quite softly,afraid of interrupting their neighbors,and sat face to face as they drank,sometimes three or five persons sitting together.

This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(传统观念),so I wanted to take a picture.Sonia stopped me,“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts?Maybe they are colleagues,friends,secret lovers.They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others.They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here.So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”

Is there privacy between husband and wife?One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man,but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(离婚).The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse.The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U.S.. He thought that being a couple was like being one person;why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse?Truly,everyone,even those living as a couple,needs room—not only in three?dimensional(三维)space,but in the heart.

I had the honor of being elected chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their warriors leapt from a canoe and faced us down with fierce growls, bulging eyes and much swishing of sticks. They laid a palm frond on the ground and, as head honcho, I was compelled to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora”, he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.

My “tribe” was my New Zealand tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they showed their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance by the All Blacks rugby team.

Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat that simmers just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.

Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our hilarious Maori elder driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round,” he got us singing, while he circuited(绕……环行) a roundabout three times.

A couple of days from the end of my trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I yearned to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a hill, there it was – Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “Land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa?” You bet I can.

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?

Our society is fast paced.We are all rushing from one place to the next,blowing our horn(喇叭)at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights.We don't have time for that silliness today.But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow.It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words.1.

Have you ever really thought about the saying "Actions speak louder than words?" Think about it now.If you say one thing and act in an opposite way,will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered?I don't think so.2.It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation,love,approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug,pat on the back or smile.

3.What about that saying?True?Yes!Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down.Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime.I am sure that each of us remember a time when a friend made an unkind comment.4.Let's not be a member of that "club".When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate's coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it!

The power of this written note will be remembered for many days,even years."I can live for two months on a good compliment(夸奖),"said Mark Twain.Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood.5.

A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child."I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.Did you hang your coat up all by yourself? "It is amazing how those few words can change a child's outlook...almost immediately.Don't stop there...One of my sisters ended a phone conversation with three words-"I love you!" Boy,that put a spring in my step!Mark Twain is right.I still feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words.

A.The pen is more powerful than the sword.

B.Is it really reasonable to do something like that?

C.Do they show the attitude that we want to convey?

D.It is important to have your words match your actions.

E.Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image(映像).

F.Those words did lasting damage to you,the relationship or both.

G..Don't be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long.

5.Is It Worth Buying Organic Food?
Organic food,grown without artificial chemicals,is increasingly popular nowadays.Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (商标).However,if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product,you might want to save your money.A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious,and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria,either.
The latest results,published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine,suggest that buyers may be wasting their money."We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,"says Dr.Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford."So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."
For their new study,Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,including 17studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food
products,and 223studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods,including key vitamins,minerals and fats.
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content,they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces.Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.And both organic and traditional meats,such as chicken and pork,were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates.The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3fatty acids,a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.However,these nutritional differences were too small,and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices,but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product.The U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that"whether you buy organic or not,finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste."Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.
5.The new research questions whether organic foodD.
A.should replace traditional food
B.has been overpriced by farmers
C.is grown with less harmful chemicals
D.is really more nutritious and healthier
6.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found thatC.
A.organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease
B.traditional food was grown with more natural methods
C.both organic and traditional food they examined were safe
D.there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food
7.Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?B
A.Organic chicken and pork.
B.Organic milk and chicken.
C.Traditional chicken and pork.
D.Traditional fruit and vegetables.
