13．Years ago，I lived in a building in a large city．The building next door was only a few feet away from （66）mine．There was a woman who lived there，whom I had never met，yet I could see her sitting by her （67）windoweach afternoon，sewing or reading．
After several months had gone by，I began to （68）notice that her window was dirty．Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself，"I （69）wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window．It really looks terrible．"
One bright morning I decided to （70）clean my flat，including washing the window on the inside．Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning，I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a （71）rest．What a surprise!Across the way，the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible．Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me．I had been criticizing （批评） her dirty window，（72）but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window．
That was quite an important （73）lesson for me．How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings？
Since then，whenever I wanted to judge （评判） someone，I asked （74）myself first，"Am I looking at him through my own dirty window？"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me （75）more clearly．

12．TRAVEL STUDY--a new way to spend your holidays．Have you ever heard about it？
●TRAVEL
When you have a travel study，you can see Big Ben，Sydney Opera House，the Statue of Liberty and many other places…I dreamed of visiting all the cities with beautiful sights．During the travel study，you may go travel yourself，with your family or your friends．
At the same time when you travel，you are in a different culture every day．You can be served with different new foods and make new friends．You read all these from books in the past，but now it is real and you are a part of it．Besides，you may also learn other cultures from your new friends because they are from different countries．
●STUDY
Maybe you already have foreign teachers in your school to teach you English．But he or she will not stay to speak English with you all the time，right？During the travel study，you have to speak it every day and almost everywhere because you are in an English-speaking country!
It also gives you a chance to let you live alone and make you learn how to live．What should I do if I lose my way in a foreign country？How can I buy what I want with my poor English？You have to be clever and you decide them by yourself．
In a word，you can get a lot from the travel study．

11．Honestly speaking，today's condition of the safety of food is（66）worse____ than ever before．Taking milk as an example，several illegal additives（添加剂） have been （67）found in various brands of milk．Similar events are also （68）reported in other articles which included but not limited to the （69）following products such as edible（可食用的） oil and tap water．
There is no （70）doubt that there are several reasons for the current condition．First of all，the most important reason is that laws about the safety of food（71）fail to be laid down in a much more proper way．Secondly，not only producers but also（72）customersare paying too much attention to the price of food instead of （73）its quality，which unavoidably leads to more ignorance （忽视） of the safety of food indirectly．
Last but not least，we can （74）change such a situation by raising people's awareness of the safety of food．In a word，we mustn't turn a （75）blind_ eye to the safety of food．

10．Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble of getting undressed？If you have，here's the device for you：the virtual（虚拟的） fitting room．
The technology，designed by Russian company AR Door，was first tried out in May．When a customer walks into a"fitting"room，they'll stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror．A camera in the mirror，using Microsoft Kinect，monitors a customer's movement and projects a 3-D image of the clothes onto you while you stand before a screen．
The room also uses augmented reality technology．"Augmented reality allows the customers to select an item of clothing without having to try it on physically，"the company told the Daily Mail．A customer can spin around to see all angles（角度） of the clothes，and can control the program by pushing virtual buttons．
AR Door is not the only company to be developing technology to help people with the way they look．Japanese company Shiseido recently presented its Magic Mirror，a virtual make-up mirror that allows people to get a full makeover in seconds．
However，the technology is not perfect．The clothes still seem to hang on the surface of the body，rather than look like the customer is actually wearing them．And people shopping for clothes are probably still better off actually trying them on．
In the end，you won't know how something really looks and feels．

9．Yesterday，someone asked me what was the greatest skill for a successful salesperson to have．I answered，"The ability to listen．"He agreed with me．But the ability to listen is not only important in selling，it is also important when you are shopping or talking with your friends．In fact，communication may be impossible if we don't listen．
Many scientists explain the way to communicate better is by listening better．By not thinking，just listening carefully to other people，we may know a new way of knowing these people who they really are．
Good listening can always show respect and improve people's relationship．
Many people think that parents should listen more to their children so that they can understand them beter
Teachers should listen more to their students so that they can meet their needs better．Then teachers can place themselves in better relationship with their students．
Students should listen more to their classmates，as they will help and learn from each other．Then they can build their friendship．
By listening to our heart we can make an understanding of who we really are．We can also have more love to people，animals and nature around us．People who know listening are more successful in study，work and life．

8．true   two   have    real    excite
An Internet friend is someone who you talk with online and you have probably never met．You may talk with this person in a chat room and discover that you have a lot in common．（66）Having   Internet friend is a special experience and gives us a chance to learn about other people．
Though Internet friends can be a lot of fun，it is important to remember that we need to be careful．Since we have probably never met the people we are talking with，we have no ways of knowing if they are telling the （67）truth．It is important not to give too much personal information because it may be dangerous．Always think （68）twice before giving an Internet friend your telephone number or home address．
Having Internet friends can be very （69）exciting，but it is important to remember not to believe in every one of them．There may be many people that you talk with online，but they don't （70）really   know about you．Internet friends can never take the place of your true friends．

The definition（定义）of the word family，in hte dictionary，is a group of people related by blood．As I grew older，the definition of family continues to change．I have learned that one can have different types of families．My volleyball team and my lacrosse（长曲棍球） team are two groups of people I consider as family because during each season，they are the ones that I am always around，that can give supports（支持），that can give a helping hand when needed．
I like to think that my classmates are another type of family．They help me on both school work and homework and explain concepts（概念） that seem foreign to me，like different slang words．They can even make me laugh when I am having one of those days when it seems like very lousy（恶心）thing that could happen，is happening．
The people around me have taught me to always be there for family，that family comes first．From school，to sports，to home，I know that I am not alone，that there is someone there．Without my family，and my"extended（延伸的） families"，I don't know where I would be．I am truly lucky．
