  About once a month I have to go to Degford for my work.One day I went into a restaurant there to have something to   1  .The waiter took my coat and put it in a small room.

  About an hour later I was ready to go.The waiter brought my coat to me.Suddenly something fell out of the pocket onto the floor.It was a small white box.Then I took a good look at the   2  .“Oh, you’ve brought someone else’s coat,” I said to the waiter.“It looks very much like mine,   3   it is quite new, and this isn’t my box, either.” “Oh, then I suppose someone has taken your coat and left this,” said the waiter.“This kind of thing   4   sometimes.”

  I opened the box.There was a beautiful gold ring in it.So I went   5   to the police station.

  “Has anyone lost a ring?” I asked.“Yes,” said a policeman.“A young man who came in this morning lost a ring.He lost it in London.” He   6   the young man.A few minutes later, the man arrived.“Yes, this is my ring,” he said.“How can I thank you, sir?You see, I paid a lot of money for this ring and   7   I lost it on the train!”

  After I told him the story of the coat, he said, “You haven’t been on the train.I haven’t been in the hotel.So how   8   my ring in the coat?”

  “Did   9   sit or stand next to you on the train?” asked the policeman.

  “Yes,” said the young man, “But I don’t remember his face.”

  “You may remember this coat,” said the policeman.“Was it like this one?”

  “Yes, it was,” said the young man.“But the friend here   10   the thief.”

  The policeman laughed.“No,” he said, “the thief on the train stole your ring, and like our friend here, he went into the hotel to get some food.Only he didn’t take the right coat away with him.”

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (诱人的)apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, a bar of chocolate if given the choice,     2   , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the    3   he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
4  as high as he could , but even as his tallest  5 he was unable to touch it. He began to 6  up and down , as high as he could, at the  7  of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of 8  .
Not giving up , he though , if only he had something to 9  on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  10  the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and  Gameboy . Looking   11  , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or ,   12  luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use .
He had tried everything he could think to do .   13  seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk  14 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  15  , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he  16  like this , the more unhappy he became.
17  ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what  he wanted .He started to say to himself :This isn’t  18    , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s  19  more I can do to get the apple  that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  20  our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

What’s that smell? Do you hear that noise? Taste this! Look at me! Feel this, isn’t it soft? When you hear, or even use these phrases, you probably don’t stop to think about why we use them. Well, it’s because of our senses. Without us even knowing, our sense organs (nose, eyes, ears, tongue, and skin) are taking in information and sending it to the brain for processing. If we didn’t have them, we would not be able to smell, see, hear, taste, or touch anything!
Senses are the physical means by which all living things see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Each sense collects information about the world and detects changes within the body. Both people and animals get all of their knowledge from their senses, and that is why senses are so important.
All senses depend on the working nerve system. Our sense organs start to work when something stimulates(刺激) special nerve cells, called receptors, in a sense organ. Once stimulated, the receptors send nerve impulses along sensory nerves to the brain. Your brain then tells you what to do. For example, your sound receptors are often attacked by billions of sound waves. When these signals reach the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层), we become conscious of the sounds.
Our group really learned a lot about the senses while creating this website. We hope that you are able to get just as much out of it. Please feel free to comment about anything on the site by e-mailing us. Also, don’t forget to sign the guest book! Thanks for visiting our site. Come back soon!

Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing? Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta (Putnam). She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic(法庭的) intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.
If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace:Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World (Riverhead). Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer (as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia), you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny (Random House), about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest (March, on stands now), by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking (Simon & Schuster). Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.

We’ve all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract(使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up new things.

We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness does not mean you erase(忘却;抹去)the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.

It’s not easy, but you can learn to do it.

Think about the advantages and disadvantages. Think of all the problems this pain causes you, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—— how it will make you happier, free you from the past and the pain, and improve your relationships and life in general.

Try to put yourself in that person’s situation. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren’t saying what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead.

Understand your responsibility. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. This isn’t to say you’re taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims(受害者) but participants in life.

Allow peace to enter your life. As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.
