It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged. I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I wrote out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done”, he said, “you’re looking after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day. I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunshine to the human spirit; no flower can grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism; we are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why when one word of praise can bring such benefit?

In fact, to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort but will reward both the giver and the recipient with a happy day. Let’s learn to give credit (赞扬) to people around us.

After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian（平民）life.

For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines（水兵）will ever have to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder（创伤后应急障碍）,　or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat（打仗）.

Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.

Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.

People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares（梦魇）and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life.

Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veteran’s（老兵）Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison（联络） for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website.

The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.

A. to introduce some methods to cure PTSD             

B. to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian life

C. to recommend a website for veterans and people concerned

D. to give military service men and women advice on civilian life

What problems will some returning soldiers and marines meet with?

A. How to readjust to civilian life.                     B. How to get rid of mental diseases

C. How to get along with PTSD patients           D. How to return to school for benefits.

Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?

A. He’s a veteran who has just come back from a military combat.

B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.

C. He’s in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.

D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。

One of the roles of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is to choose the host city for the Olympic Games. The host city election takes place in a country which does not have a candidate city for the Olympics in question. Except for unusual circumstances, the election is held seven years before the Olympic Games take place. There have been two phases leading to the election of the host city since December 1999.

Phase 1: applicant cities

Any city that wishes to host the Olympic Games must be proposed to the IOC by its National Olympic Committee (NOC), with a letter from the city itself. During the first phase, which lasts around ten months, each applicant city must answer a questionnaire to provide general information about itself. Then the applications will be examined carefully. A number of things will be considered, such as government support, public opinion, general infrastructure（基础设施）, safety, accommodations and transport. The IOC Executive Board（执行董事会）will determine which applicant cities will be accepted as candidate cities. Only candidate cities can continue with the procedure.   

Phase 2: candidate cities   

Candidate cities must provide a candidature（候选资格）file according to the instructions given by the IOC. After all the files are examined and the IOC Evaluation Commission（评估委员会）produces its report, the IOC Executive Board draws up a list of final candidate cities. The general assembly of the IOC then takes a vote on the host city.
