4．The college I attended as a young man was a collection of beautiful，red brick buildings built along the side of a hill．At the bottom of the hill was the closest town．Getting back to the dorms from the town during the cold，winter months was a hard trip．For those who had been drinking at the town bars，it often led to many falls as they walked up the sidewalks．
On one December day a friend and I were on the way to the closet town．We didn't like the idea of walking downhill on a sheet of ice，but the dinner that day was worth a try．As we walked towards the town，a man appeared，with worn and dirty clothes and wild gray hair．He smelt strongly of alcohol．When he got close，he stopped and asked for a few dollars．I stepped back at first and all of the warnings from others played out in my mind．Yet，when I looked into his sad eyes，I felt warmth in my heart．I pulled out my wallet and gave him some money．As we walked on，my friend said that the man was probably going to spend that money on alcohol．I thought about it and said，"What he does with the money is his choice．Sharing it was mine．"
I have looked back on that memory so many times over the years．If I had done it all over a-gain，I would have talked to the man，given him more money，and maybe shared a hug with him as well．
We all come into this world from LOVE and when we leave it，we will return to LOVE．Are you going to help just yourself or are you going to help others as wells It's up to you！

3．As we drove across town，I prepared my two children for what they were about to see．A lady from our new church was dying of cancer，and I had volunteered to help her with the house-work．"Annie has a tumor（肿瘤） in her head，which has disfigured（损毁…的外形） her face，"I warned．
I struggled for the words to describe Annie's appearance to my son and daughter．Then I remembered a movie I'd seen with my son．I wanted him to understand that disabled people are like anyone else-their feelings can be hurt，too．
"David，remember the movie Mask about the boy with the facial deformity（畸形）？"
"Yes，Mom．I think I know what to expect．"His tone（语气） told me it was time to stop mothering him so much．
"What does a tumor look like？"Diane asked me．
I didn't want to frighten the child，so I prepared her just enough but not too much．
"Her tumor looks like the skin on the inside of your mouth．It sticks out from under her tongue and makes it hard for her to talk．You'll see it as soon as you meet her，but there's nothing to be afraid of．Remember，don't stare．"Diane nodded．I knew she was trying to picture a tumor in her mind．
We entered the living room，where Annie was sitting in her chair．At the sight of my children，Annie's face brightened．"Oh，I'm so glad you came to visit，"she said toughly．
David walked across the room to Annie's chair，put his arms around her shoulders and pressed his cheek to her face．Smiling，he looked into her eyes and said，"I'm happy to meet you．"Just when I didn't think I could be more proud，Diane copied her big brother and gave Annie the precious，accepting hug of a child．My throat tightened with emotion as I saw Annie's eyes well up with grateful tears．

2．It was long past noon when he awoke．His valet（男仆）had entered several times on tiptoe into the room to see if he was waking up，and had wondered what made his young master sleep so late．Finally his bell sounded，and Victor came in softly with a cup of tea and a pile of letters on a small tray of old china，and drew back the curtains．
'Monsieur has well slept this morning，"he said，smiling．
‘What o'clock is it，Victor？"asked Dorian Gray sleepily．
"One hour and a quarter，Monsieur．"
How late it was!He sat up，and having sipped some tea，turned over his letters．One of them was from Lord Henry，and had been brought that morning．He hesitated for a moment，and then put it aside．The others he opened at a random．They contained the usual collection of cards，invitations to dinner，tickets for private views，programmers of charity concerts，and the like that are showered on fashionable young men every morning during the season．There was a rather heavy bill for a silver Louis-XVI toilet-set that he had not yet had the courage to send on to his guardians（监护人），who were extremely old-fashioned people and did not realize that we live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities； and there were several very politely worded communications from Jermyn Street money-lenders offering to advance any sum of money at a moment's notice and at the most reasonable rates of interest
After about ten minutes he got up，and passed into the bathroom．The cool water refreshed him after his long sleep．He seemed to have forgotten all that he had gone through．A dim sense of having taken part in some strange tragedy came to him once or twice，but there was the unreality of a dream about it
As soon as he was dressed，he sat down to a light French breakfast It was a nice day．The warm air seemed laden with sweet flavor．A bee flew in，buzzed round and stood before him．He felt perfectly happy．

1．Do you think telling lies，whether a little or a lot，isn't that big of a deal？Well，that depends on the situation．If someone asks，"Does this dress make me look fat？"we might all lie somewhat．We might say，"Of course not．You look great．"Lying to spare someone's feelings is one thing．Lying to destroy someone's character or fame is another．
"What's really terrible is that you can't undo a big lie，"says a minister we'll call Morgan．"I promise if you go house to house to say，‘I feel terrible I wrongly accused my neighbor of stealing，'the lie will spread like a fire fueled by gasoline．You can't call back a lie very easily．"
Morgan goes on to say that lies have hurt people more than guns．
"We have a grandfather in our church whose former son-in-law told people the man treated his own children cruelly，"Morgan says．"To this day，we don't know whether it is true or not．I would tend to doubt it，but I can't take a chance，especially if he is working with young people in our church．"
Disarming someone who lies is tough．It's like disarming someone who's prepared to fire．That's why our society is full of people who are forced to cover up the lies of other people．
"I worked with a man who was stealing money from our employer，"says a man we'll call Fred．"He was so good at lying and doctoring the books （做假账） that it would have taken an FBI agent to stop him．I worried，‘If I turned him in，and he got out of the trouble，my career at our company would come to an end．'"
Fred says he came up with a plan to drop hints （暗示） to the company owner．"I found printed materials on monitoring possibly dishonest employees．I started mailing them to the company owner without leaving my name．Then one day，over lunch，I told my boss he should have the books checked carefully．He got the hint．"
Fred told us that when the books were checked，the dishonest co-worker tried to blame him for the errors．However，Fred told the company owner he had been dropping hints for some time．The boss got the picture．Fred kept his job．The dishonest guy was fired．
Figuring out how to make a liar public takes work．It can be done，but you might have to move at the pace of a turtle．The slower you move，the more control you will have．You have to give others time to take in the truth．
62．The underlined phrase"spare someone's feelings"in Paragraph 1can be replaced byB．
A．destroy someone's feelings

I received this gift on a gray-sky day．I had to go to the airport at 9：00a．m．to pick up my uncle Ali and take him to my father's house．However，I was late because I was hanging out with my friends．Later that day，around 11：00a．m．，I remembered my uncle，but I was very late．He had already left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house．

On the day of my birthday，we got home from school at about，oh，I don't know，three or half past three．We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain （浴帘），a kind of strange female（女） voice started singing，"Happy birthday to you，happy birthday to you．"

17．The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city，where most of the houses were wooden and close together．One hundred thousand people became homeless，but only a few lost their lives．
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker，with his wife and family，was able to get out through a window in the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning．
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings，old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them．
Samuel Pepys，the famous writer，wrote about the fire．People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat．
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn，the fire became weak and finally died out．
After the fire，Christopher Wren，the architect（建筑师），wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact，the streets are still narrow； but he did build more than fifty churches，among them new St Paul's．
The fire caused great pain and loss，but after it London was a better place：a city for the future and not just of the past．
