20.A few weeks ago,I was taking a quiet walk in my backyard(71)whenI saw a baby bir1.d lying on the grass.It must(72)have fallen(fall) off the nest high in the branches.I was sure it was dead.But as I tried to pik it up,suddenly it moved.
To put it back,I placed a ladder(73)againstthe tree and tried to get it near the nest.At that time,I saw a neighborhood cat in the branches.Immediately it came to my mind(74)thathe must have shaken the bird out of the nest when climbing up alone the branches and trapped(75)himself(he) up in the tree as well.Climbing up through the branches,I seized him,gave him a scolding and(76)dropped(drop) him softly to the ground.He ran off as fast as he could.
I(77)gently(gentle) picked up the baby bird,climbed up the ladder and,(78)stretching(stretch) my arm out as far as I could,I placed it in the nest.Then I said prayers for it.
In the weeks that followed I looked up at(79)thenest several times,but only saw the mother bird.I may never know whether my efforts have made a(80)difference(different) or not.But trying was enough.Sometimes love has to be its own reward.

2.The movies just wouldn't be the same without the warm buttery taste of popcorn.Amazingly,this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel (玉米粒),not just from any corn.Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and spread to China,India and elsewhere.It is the only kind of corn that will pop.Today,most of the world's popcorn is grown in the United States.
Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water,surrounded by soft starch (淀粉).When the popcorn is heated,the water turns into steam.This puts pressure on the surrounding hard kernel,forcing it to explode.The soft starch increases about 40times in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out.
In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico.But it wasn't only food.It was also used in ceremonies or on red dresses and in necklaces.By the time the Europeans arrived in America,popcorn had spread through most of the American Indians.
Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast.But it wasn't until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular.The demand for popcorn increased and farmers began farming popcorn.The first mobile popping machine was invented in 1885,and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs that are sold today.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s,the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it.Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased.People stayed home and stopped going to the theatre.But the link between movies and popcorn had already existed.Soon people began making popcorn at home on the stove and,later,microwave popcorn was introduced.Today the movies have regained popularity and popcorn has once again become the favorite.

20.Kindness and kids just seem to go hand in hand.But 62% of more than 2,600participants in the NBC News State of Kindness Poll believe that today's kids are less kind than those in the past.Women(66%)feel about this kindness fall more strongly than men (58%).Most of the participants who feel that way (77%) thank parents caused the seeming lack of kindness among today's children,with a few thinking that society,schools,or friends caused it.
At the same time,Americans say they don't put kindness first when it comes to teaching kids values.Among all participants,honesty is taught more than kindness as well as other things like courage,leadership and storing work ethic(道德).But the younger generation-those aged 18-24------think highly of kindness rules.They choose kindness by 10% over honesty as the most important quality to teach kids.
The question of whether kindness is learned or taught----or somewhere in between----causes different opinions.According to the study,Americans have different opinions on whether kindness in something one is born with or needs to be learned and nurtured over time.Slightly more than half(52%) of the participants believe that all of us are born with the ability to show kindness,while 48% believe kindness must be developed.
Parenthood(父母身份) makes a difference to your thoughts on the causes of kindness.Those without kids(56%)are more likely to think that people are born to be kind,while 50% of the participants with kids think kindness is developed.
Also,51% of dads and 54% of men with no kids believe kindness is something time is born with.Slightly more than half of the morns say kindness must be learned,while 48% believe it is what one is born with.
