16．One morning more than thirty years ago，I entered the Track Kitchen，a restaurant where everyone from the humblest（卑微的）to the most powerful came for breakfast．I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly，unshaven（没刮胡子的） man，who looked somewhat disheveled． He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone．I asked if I might join him．He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast．
We cautiously（谨慎的） began a conversion and spoke about a wide range of things．We never introduced ourselves．I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat．So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee，I asked，
"May I get you something？"
"A coffee would be nice．"
Then I bought him a cup of coffee．We talked more，and he accepted another cup of coffee．Finally，I rose to leave，wished him well，and headed for the exit．At the door I met one of my friends．He asked，
"How did you get to know Mr．Galbreath？"
"Who？"
"The man you were sitting with．He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs．"
I could hardly believe it．I was buying，offering a free breakfast，and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr．Galbreath changed my life．Now I try to treat everyone with respect，no matter who I think they are，and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity．

11．For most people，traveling overseas to a foreign country can be an amazing experience．However，for those who are not prepared to take part in a new culture，they may be totally overwhelmed（不知所措的） by having to go through this unfamiliar chain of events．This phenomenon is called culture shock，and often occurs when people visit a country for which they are not ready．（36）G．
First of all，one must remember to prepare themselves by referring to some materials for their visit．（37）F．Instead，take some time to read，research，and look up information on the specific country you are traveling to．You can do it either through the use of a library or a bookstore，or through the Internet．
Secondly，（38）C Many times these people can answer questions you may have about the country，especially when you can't find the answers from the research you have done online or in print．（39）B So you can turn to the people who have been to the country and their experience must be of great use to you
Lastly，after you have done everything you can to get prepared，you are on your way to your destination．（40）D It is so important to be flexible in your travel，which really helps to break down any culture shock you might experience．
Keep these tips in mind，and be open in your travel experience．Happy traveling!

10．On Jan 15th，2015，Justin Valdez，a college student，was shot in a subway station in San Francisco．The surveillance video（监控录像） showed that before Justin was killed，the killer pulled out his gun several times，and even wiped his nose with it．However，nobody noticed the killer．The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones．
We may see the same scene everywhere in our life：in subway stations，restaurants，elevators and so on，people are watching their cell phones．From a family reunion to a date with a friend，people couldn't stop checking their twitter and facebook on the cell phones，ignoring the persons in front completely．Phubbing（低头症） not only involves young people，but also the elderly and kids．
"Phubbing"is a new term which comes from the words"phone''and"snub（冷落）"．It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone．The word"phubbing"was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012．Obviously，the indifference（冷漠） and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally．A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up．You can find the slogan of the website as follows："stop twittering，stop posting photos…enjoy your food，enjoy the music and respect others．"
Phubbing appears harmless．However，it does influence our life．Jimmy，an epicure（美食家），wrote in his blog："I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering．My skill of food photography has improved very fast，while my interest in food drops as a result．"
Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication．

7．At times，our worries and anxieties can defeat us．（36）FHere is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments．
（37）AA person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem．A person could get some fresh air，listen to some music，or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things．
Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse．（38）EWhen unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious，challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense．
Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties．Do not try to deal with everything all at once．When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious，break the task into small ones．（39）G
Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything．Most of what you worry about never comes true．（40）CThen you should leave everything else in the hands of God．
It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries．When your fears and anxieties have the best of you，try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation．The key is to take it slow．All you can do is doing your best each day，hope for the best，and when something does happen，take it easy．Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last．

A．When feeling anxious，stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing．
B．This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety．
C．Instead of worrying about something that probably won't happen，concentrate on what you are able to do．
D．The next time you feel depressed，review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life．
E．A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking．
F．In addition，our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not．
G．Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success．
