I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too... I wasn't　 36　 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.

　 But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.

That night, when I lay 　42 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”

　By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 48 them in a napkin（餐巾）, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I 50 have fussed（慌乱）at you that way.”

　 And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

　Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of （大约）days. But the family you leave _53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families--an unwise investment(投资) indeed.

　　 首先请阅读下列有关地球科学的文章，插图及简介：

Global warming can be absolute depressing. Turns out, it is.

Nature Tourism Doesn't always Help

Ecotourists who want to help protect the environment with their travel

dollars may be best off backpacking.

Greenhouse Gases May Endanger Human Health

The EPA is warning that greenhouse gases emission（排放）is a threat to

public health and welfare.

Newest weapon Against Climate Change: Rocks

A strong contender in the fight against global warming may be right

under our feet.

Climate Changing Faster Than Expected

As climate change exceeds the worst predictions, scientists emphasize

the urgency of reducing emissions.

Airline Passengers May Face Radiation Risk

Add lightning-produced radiation to the list of potential concerns for

holiday travelers.

下面是这些文章的主要内容。请把相关的内容与它们的标题匹配起来。

1．　 By now with so many persuasive evidences, global warming is developing or exceeding

　 experts' worst expectations, and could bring drastic change to our planet, including a 19-foot

　 sea level rise and the extinction of many species, according to a new report released today.

　 So scientists sound the alarm.

2．　 Besides adventure and relaxation, there is some comfort in thinking that your tourist dollars

help protect the natural beauty you go to visit. But it doesn't always work that way. A new

study in Uganda（乌干达）found that people who spent more money to se gorillas in Bwindi

Impenetrable National Park didn't necessarily help the local community more.

3．　 Rocks with a powerful thirst for carbon dioxide could suck enough of the greenhouse gas

from the atmosphere to help counteract global warming, according to a recent study. Formed

under heat and pressure deep in the Earth, the rocks have unusual chemical properties when

moving up to the surface, which include absorbing carbon dioxide.

4．　 A rise in natural disasters caused by the global warming will lead to more cases of stress

disorder and depression. According to various evidences, climate change will bring new

cases of stress, anxiety and depression. People who already have serious psychological problems will　

probably suffer most in the natural disasters and extreme weather events.

5．　 The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering

people's health and must be regulated, indicating that the Obama administration is prepared

to contain global warming if necessary and that the United States is aggressively taking

actions to fight against global warming and protect its people's health..
