【题目】My friends and I finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to get my car at my office three streets away.

My friends said that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I would give birth to a new baby and was seven months pregnant then. I told them that I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me but I asked her to stay with another friend who needed help with her baby.

I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a black car stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right towards me. To my surprise he stopped in front of me and said he’d go with me together. I said there was no need for him to do so, but he still offered to help. During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was wet. When we got to my car, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name. Even I can’t remember what he looks like. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know.

So how did I pay it as a return? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers walking in the heavy rain. Maybe they were on their way to the working place near my home.___________________. They were surprised by my action. They were very thankful to me, wondering why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.

【题目】Five Facts about Goal Setting

These practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals:

【1】 When it comes to making a change, the people who succeed are those who set goals possible to achieve. “I’m going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cants, and magazines” is a

much more doable goal than I’m going to do more for the environment.” And that makes it easier to stick with.

2 It will probably take a couple of months before any changes —like getting up half an hour earlier to exercise —become a routine(日常的) part of your life. That’s because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you’re doing is part of your regular routine.

3 Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you’re working for. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you’re training your brain to make it happen.

4 The key to making any change is to find the strong wish within yourself —you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to. It will be harder to stay on track and encouraged if you’re doing something out of duty to another person.

5 Mistakes are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It may take a few tries to reach a goal. But that’s OK—it’s a normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change. So remember that everyone makes mistakes and don’t beat yourself up about it. Just remind yourself to get back on track.

A. Making mistakes doesn’t mean failure.

B. It takes time form a habit.

C. Bad habits are hard to give up.

D. Repeating a goal makes it stick.

E. Specific, realistic goals work best.

F. Pleasing other people doesn’t work.

【题目】My husband and I changed our yard with fruit trees, such as apples, bananas and oranges.

Every crop brought us closer to and strangers. The food was an to communicate. Kids in the neighborhood (including our son) learned how to be and gentle timing. When we had extra, we would it. Then, we received a powerful lesson: a gift hidden as a loss (损失). Our first-ever crop of oranges had ripened(成熟). , at harvest, they all disappeared in the middle of the night. We were shocked, sad and angry. Friends had fun suggestions. One suggested we post a sign curse(诅咒) those who our fruits.

And suddenly, the lesson was clear. We did need a sign. But our sign would encourage sharing. Last autumn, we had a large crop of oranges. We a sign that read, “If you’d like one, please knock and yourself, and we would be to cut one off the bush for you. Cutting saves the branches and is good for future growth, so we can to share oranges with 7 friends like you. Thanks, the Green Family.”

Out of eight fruits, one orange was taken, and most others were to new friends. This year, we won the Kindness Contest award, so we planted three new fruit trees—a peach, a pear and

a plum. Before they fruit, I’ll a big sign to the yard to encourage sharing. Today, I’m happy to role model generosity(慷慨) for my young son and to have the opportunity to an eatable front yard for others.
