【题目】B

Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that even though you’re packed into enclosed space with hundreds of other people, the morning trip can leave you feeling somewhat lonely.

One London resident, however, is trying to change this. "You get on the Tube here and its completely silent and its strange," says Jonathan Dunne, an American living in London, who has started a campaign of giving out badges (徽章) with the slogan "Tube Chat?" last month, encouraging travelers in London to get talking to one another.

Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive responses, there are always exceptions.

Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words "Don’t even think about it" on them. "I can’t stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work," he said.

Michael Robinson, a student from London, agrees. "Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you," he says.

"People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to," Dunne says. So if you ever end up using public transport in London, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.

【题目】I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people 【1】 I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a 【2】 person.

I think my 【3】 started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my 【4】 and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever 【5】 to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really 【6】 . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a(n) 【7】. I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I 【8】 to help. That was really a big 【9】 for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of 【10】 are still my best friends today.

A bigger cause of my new 【11】 , however, came when I took a part-time job at Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my 【12】 .

She let me 【15】 that making others feel good made me feel good, too. When she died, I was 【16】, but I was also very grateful to her.

I think I am a much 【17】 person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not 【18】these experiences. They have 【19】me to care about other people more than about myself. I 【20】 who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.
