1.I was sitting in the far back in a pizza house when I noticed the man,about thirty years old,carrying a pizza box.He sat down at the table to my right and then (36)Chis large dirty paper bag of clothing down on the floor.Obviously,this man was homeless and (37)Da bath.He picked up the one small slice(薄片)of pizza and very slowly,very carefully,he began to eat,taking very little(38)A.

I got four large slices of pizza from the counter and sat them down on his table,saying,"I thought you(47)Dlike to have a few slices."
I did not stop at all but walked around behind him.As I passed him,I reached out and (48)Bhim on the back,just one time,very softly with my hand.I hope that man knows that someone,someplace,(49)Ahim as a human being.And I am so( 50)Dthat I have never forgotten what it feels like to be down,out,dirty and hungry.

18.When young people in the United States come together for fun,there is a good chance they will be dancing.If there are no musicians,they will play records.If they have no records,someone is sure to have a radio.One way or another there will be dancing.
The ways that boys and girls dance will often change every year or two.You may hear them say the latest steps are"in"while last year's were"out".Each boy and girl takes pride in learning the newest things.They feel that this is important to be popular with their friends.
Years ago,the dances of young people were not very different from those of their parents,but high school and college students of today have created their own music and dances,thanks to people like Chubby Checker,the Beatles and Elvis Presley.The musicians helped to make an exciting new kind music popular that people began to dance to in a different way.
In the late 1950s Chubby Checker started a dance that he called the"twist".It was lively,and people who performed it used a lot of energy.This is one of the advantages.Even if older people don't like the new dances,they must agree that people get much more workout from modern dances than they got from an old one.
