Most of the things I really need to know about how to live, what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten.   1  was not at the top of the graduate school mountain,  2  there in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play  3  . Don’t hit people. Put things back  4  you found them. Return things to whomever they belong to. Clean  5 your own messes. Keep your own room clean. Don’t  6  things that are not yours. Say you’re sorry when you   7  somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. When you go out into the world, hold hands and stay   8  . Always remember to learn.  Warm cookies and cold milk are both good   9  you. Live a   10  life. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots   11  down and the plant goes up and   12 really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die.  13  do we. And then remember the first   14 you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything   15  you need to know is in there somewhere.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all—the whole world—had cookies and milk at about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then   16  for a nap, or   17  we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always return things to whoever they belong to. And it is still   18  that no matter how   19  you are, when you go out into the world,  20  is the best to hold hands and not get away from the group.

A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.

The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923.He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before.The former President’s wife was still living in the White House.

Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.

Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn’t take that.”

The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?”

“I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠).Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back, “ the President said.

The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge”

“Are you President Coolidge ? “ he asked.

The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm.I’m fond of it.It would do you no good.You want money.Let’s talk this over.”

Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I’ll take this and leave everything else.”

Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk.He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.

Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college.Then he counted out $32 said it was a loan (借款).

He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.

B.He knew the President lived in the suite.

C.He wanted to be a rich businessman.

D.He wanted to steal some money.

2.Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?

C.Because the First Lady liked to live there.

D.Because he liked there.

3.Coolidge counted out $32 ______.

A.in order not to be killed by the thief

B.in order to be out of danger

C.so as to help the young student overcome his difficulty

D.because he had no more money

4.The young man’s roommate went back to the college ______.

It began as a game: high school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer wizards (奇才) soon gained the nickname "hackers (黑客)".

Police put the collar on a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One hacker was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later used a jailhouse phone to alter a police officer's credit records to get back at the officer for arresting him. The hacker also used a computer to alter his college records to give himself better grades.

As hackers gained experience, they began invading (侵入) computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one scheme, a hacker instructed an airline's computer to give him free airplane tickets.

The U.S. government is worried hackers may break into its sophisticated (复杂的) networks of defense computers. The government's classified secrets are vulnerable (脆弱的) because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can tap into.

In November 1988, a college student tapped into a non-classified U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected a computer program that left copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use each "viruses" to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in to police and told them how to get his program out of the computer system. He was charged with a crime.

The incident put the spotlight on  computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.

The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers. It fears a hacker could inject a virus into military computers that would erase all the data during a war.

Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most brilliant minds in the U.S. will be working to frustrate the efforts of computer hackers and spies.

I would like to encourage parents, and anyone reading this column to express your special thanks to the men and women who share the care giving of your children. Write your children's teachers a little note to tell them how important they are... it will make their day.

Actually they need far more than thanks. They need pay that is equitable (reasonable)to the important work they do. In our country, we pay nearly the same salaries to the attendants who park and watch our cars as we do to trained people who care for our children.

When you give your car to the attendant, you want it kept in a safe place and you want to get it back without a scratch (划痕). When you give your child to a preschool teacher or caregiver, they do much more.

Quality childcare is physically and emotionally demanding. Children are active, vulnerable (be easily harmed), and eager to learn, and they also need individualized, loving attention. Caregivers teach health, safety, personal hygiene (卫生); they teach values and self-discipline. They lay the foundations for learning reading, science, and math. They teach cooperation and the work ethic (道德规范).

Caregivers in quality child -care homes and centers do everything possible for children, and they keep on doing it until they burn out, or can no longer afford to keep it up. They have families too. We lose many of our best early childhood teachers because so many of them have no health benefits.

Fair wages and basic health benefits will keep the good people in the field that our children need. Please write your state and federal representatives (参、众议院议员)to urge their support of young children, their education and their quality care.

Thirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty Was it lack of feeling about one's fellowman

"Not so, "say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons why people didn't act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency. Suppose you see a middle aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack Is he in a coma(昏迷)from a headache Or is he about to sleep off a drunk

Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak(漏洞)in the air conditioning Is it "steam pipes" Or is it really smoke from a fire It's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible(负责任的). He must feel that he must help, or the person won't get the help he needs.

The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be "tested." Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The researchers started them off on the "tests." Then they went into the next room. A curtain divided the "testing room" and the room into which they went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of book shelves falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape recorder.

Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.

In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility.

Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble Yes. Scientists found that the people were shocked, they sweated, and they had trembling hands. They felt the other person's trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.

1.Which of the following is NOT true ?

       A.When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is real emergency.

       B.When a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth his help.

       C.A person must take the full responsibility for safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.

       D.A person with a heart attack is a real emergency.

2.The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that _______.

       A.they are afraid of emergencies

       B.they are not willing to get themselves involved

       C.others will act if they themselves hesitate

       D.they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help.

3.The author suggests that _______.

       A.we shouldn't blame a person if he fails to act in emergencies

       B.a person must feel guilty if he fails to help

C.people should be responsible for themselves in emergencies

       D.when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway

Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts what sociologist Erving Goffiman(1963)calls“a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself

    If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second -plus stare, he signals, “I know you”. “I am interested in you.”or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you. ”This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

1.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that __________.

    A.every glance has its significance(meaning or importance)

    B.staring at a person is an expression of interest

    C.a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable

    D.a glance carries more meaning than words

2. If you want to be left alone on an elevator the best thing to do is ________.

    A. to look into another passenger’s eyes

    B.to avoid eye contacts with other passengers

    C.to signal you are not a threat to anyone

    D.to keep a distance from other passengers

3.By “a dimming of the lights”, Erving Goffiman means ________.

    A.closing one’s eyes                               B.turning off the lights

    C.stopping glancing at others                   D.reducing gaze-time to the minimum

4.The passage mainly discusses _________.

    A.the limitations of eye contacts

    B.the exchange of ideas through eye contacts

    C.proper behavior in situations

    D.the role of eye contacts in interpersonal communication
