摘要：58．The author expects those who have read the passage to . A．have a long list of promises B．be a smart businessman C．hit an iceberg in their cars D．be as adventurous as himself C Did you ever think someone was scary because they looked different or ate strange food? Well, they might think the same about you! One of the things we all need to do is to celebrate variety. We shouldn’t think badly of people from other cultures because they behave differently from us. Sometimes we treat people from other countries unfairly, because one person from that culture did something bad. Well, has your class ever been punished just because a few kids were causing trouble? Has your whole family ever been blamed for something your little sister did? It doesn’t seem fair, does it? It’s just equally unfair to blame a whole culture for what two or three people have done. So here are some things that you can do to help yourself understand other cultures: ① Find common ground! Just remember that even though some people look different on the outside, that doesn’t change how they are on the inside. They still have the exact same feelings! ② Because someone from another culture has been mean to you, you decide to avoid everyone from that culture. Well think about it. Why are you blaming them for something they didn’t have anything to do with? Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel? Putting yourself inside someone else’s head can be a very powerful way to understand WHY they are acting the way they are. ③Try to make friends with people from other cultures! You could ask them about their culture, or what it is like in their country, if they can remember, or if they have ever lived there. Try foods from their culture, or ask them about words in their language. You might be surprised at how interesting other cultures can be! You can join great discussion groups, participate in projects, and have lots of fun doing new things. ④Be aware that you’ve judged other people If you know what you have done, it helps to make things better. Pay attention to what you think about other people. It helps.
She must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”．Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new．
My sister died a few years ago．We never did have lunch together．I can't remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch．She would say to me：“I can't．I have clothes on the line．”“My hair is dirty．I wish I had known yesterday．”“I had a late breakfast．”“It looks like rain．”Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible．
Life is not made up of things that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure．As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer．Perhaps one morning, when we awaken, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “I'm going to”, “I plan to” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit．”
My seize-the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start．She keeps an open mind about new ideas．Her great interest in life is contagious．With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes．
I have not touched ice cream for 10 years．The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker．If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy．
