13．We had a chilledd night at home，listening to relaxing music and chatting freely．

12．I'm afraid we've sold out of that range of skincare products-but they will be back in stock soon．

11．Can I take this jacket back to the shop，even though I've lost the receipt？

10．Sometimes your friends start to talk about a new video game or a new app they have downloaded．It sounds pretty cool，and your friends really seem to like it．You become so （61）interested （interest） in it that you want to buy it too．Has this ever happened to you？
In the US and in places around the world，there is a similar feeling of wanting the（62）newest （new），greatest tech gadgets （小玩意）．There is a big （63）attraction （attract） to getting the latest technology even though people may not need it．But why is this？
There′s （64）an initial （最初的）excitement about these technologies that （65）gets （ get ） people′s attention，according to Richard Larson，a director at MIT，US．If there′s a big group of people （66）who/that want these things，you want to be a part of the excitement too．
One of the major US （67）companies （company） that really take advantage of this is Apple．It comes out with a new iPhone with very small changes every year．But people still flock （涌入） to the stores even if they have just bought the previous phone．
However，（68）buying （buy）these things may not always be the best choice．You could be buying things that you don′t really need and（69）spending （spend） too much money just for the right to show it off to your friends．
Not only that，but our need to always be on your phones or playing video games takes （70）upa lot of time in our lives．So is this excitement over technology a good or a bad thing？

9．What is the definition of"happiness"？Is it material wealth filled （61）with fancy cars，a dream house and jewelry？Or does happiness（62）simply（simple） mean having a roof over your head？Love？Money？
For a child of divorce，maybe the biggest happiness is for Mom and Dad to get back together again．Then as he gets older，he will be full of happiness if he（63）is given （give） a chance to a party．During college，（64）being allowed（allow） to have a short holiday are bound to delight him，making him feel happy for a short while．
We work hard to accumulate things so we can pay our rents，credit card debts，car payments and the list goes on and on．At some point，（65）though/althoughwe have most of what we want，we still aren't happy．Now since we've learned to adapt to new standards which we've created for ourselves，we find that we have less time，less patience，less sleep，（66）Which leads to more stress and more anxiety．Therefore，don't stupidly make a conclusion that happiness is just the"things"（67）based （base） on material wealth．
Happiness is part of love，and love is （68）anocean．Go dive in and get some，and then share （69）it with everyone，which can be an （70）endless（end） supply of happiness．

8．The city of the future
What will the city of the future look like？No one knows for sure，and making predictions （61）is（be） a risky business．But one thing is certain---they are going to get bigger before they get smaller．We will use lots of （62）recycled（recycle） materials，such as plastic aluminums，steel，glass，wood and paper，and we will waste fewer （63）natural（nature） resources．We will also have to rely more（64）onalternative energy，such as solar and wind power．
A teacher at （65）auniversity in the United States asked his students to think（66）howthey would run a city of 50，000people in the year 2025．Here are some of the ideas they had：
Garbage ships  To get rid of garbage problems，the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun，（67）preveting（prevent） landrills and environmental problems．
Cars  All cars will be powered by electricity，solar energy or wind，and（68）itwill be possible to change the color of cars at the flick of a switch．
Telesurgery  Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away，with each city （69）having（have） its own telesurgery outpatient clinic．
Holiday at home  Senior citizens and people with disabilities will be able to go anywhere in the world using high-tech cameras（70）attached （attach） to their head．

6．Yesterday，as I approached the front door of our public library，a white haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me．You see，I have to go everywhere these days with a walker，and folks are constantly holding or opening doors for me，so this was not unusual．
However，I told the gentleman that the door had an automatic opener，and he did not need to stay to hold it open．He said，"Here I thought I would have an opportunity to be helpful．"
At that，I backed up，let the door close，and allowed him to reopen the door，not using the automatic control this time．His comment then was"Well，now I feel like that I have accomplished something helpful and worthwhile today．"
We never know how someone else is feeling．We seniors seem to feel we can take care of ourselves at all times．That random act of kindness brightened not only my day，but to my joy and delight，also the day of that white-haired senior citizen．I felt a glow for the rest of the day，and，hopefully，so did he!
So，gentle readers，never hesitate to offer kindness．You may find to your amazement that there is more kindness in your community than you ever believe possible．
