Moving can bring out the best and the worst in people, I’m finding. And I’ve discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.
After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I had to move this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she would work as a sales assistant. Not knowing a person there, we were pretty concerned about all the work, including how we’d get all the things unloaded without killing ourselves.
We decided to pay a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there. But one neighbor after another stopped by and joined in. “What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we’ve died and gone to heaven!” I thought.
Unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. The more people that helped, the easier the work became. A job we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was done in just a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.
All the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. Among all the conversations were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town. I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what it’s like to look out for one another. I used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now I live in Defiance!

This topic is about greeting in China.A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces.
This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago.For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people.The life of most people in China has become much better now.They do not worry about their food and clothing any more.The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”
Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China.Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other.It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other.
18.What did people mostly care about many years ago?

听力原文:(Text 10)
Everyone needs sleep so that their bodies can make up the energy used in the day.Growth takes place mainly when we are asleep.Children need more sleep than grown-ups because they are still growing.New-born babies sleep nearly all the time except when they are being fed.Although we are not conscious of anything when we are asleep, sometimes we dream.When we dream we imagine that we are awake.Often strange things seem to be happening to us.Dreams are a mixture of our fears and hopes and what we have done and thought.Sleep and dreams affect our moods and the moods affect our performance throughout the day.Generally, we will feel happier in the day if we sleep well at night.
