| I am a people watcher, a trait magnified when I travel. On the train to and from Tokyo, I realized, 1 , that my fellow riders who were Japanese rarely 2 up and around or used their eyes to interact with other people. This 3 me at first. To my American mind such interaction has the 4 of mutual (相互的) acknowledgement. But then I remembered 5 that the Japanese rarely maintain direct eye contact. Perhaps my people watching seemed 6 . I tried to be more subtle (细心的). I had also read how the Japanese feel 7 to each other as a group by a sense of responsibility. 8 , as a Caucasian Westerner, I was obviously an outsider, I often 9 being a temporary member of the group. Once, sitting at a long stop of a local train, I 10 as several people got up and left the car when a faster train to their 11 pulled into the station. It was cold outside and every person 12 to press the "CLOSE" button as they exited the train doors to help keep out the cold air for the group 13onboard. I always feel a bit embarrassed at having the unearned good fortune of being a 14 speaker of the language. In Japan I was 15 for the many kind strangers who were willing to use their English to 16 me. And in a country where the Roman alphabet is not used in the local language, the abundant English signage was 17 aimed at helping travelers. For the most part on this trip, I found that I was left alone until I asked for help.I 18 little curiosity or interest in interacting with me. When I entered a restaurant or shop, I felt I was 19 as a local resident would be. Welcome is the greeting often shouted out 20 by the staff when customers enter restaurants or stores. | ||||

Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more
than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her fist garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants,
and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken bourse, its
residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much
larger because, she said, "The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so
it's a win-win situation all around."
They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy
(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing
gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say no since the 1970s have there been such an increase in interest
in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country hacek been sold out for several months. In
Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.
George C. Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40%, over last
year, double the average growth of last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building
for the last few years. The big one is striking use in me cost on food like bread and milk, together with the
increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase of higher oil price. People are driving
less, taking fewer vacations, so there more time to garden.

As Mrs Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school,
she told the children a lie.Like most teachers,she looked at her students and said that she
loved them all the same.
But that was impossible,because there in the front row,slumped in his seat,was a little
boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn't play well with the other
children,that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could
be unpleasant.It got to the point where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking
his papers with a broad red pen,making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his
papers.
However,when she reviewed his file,she got a surprise.
Teddy's first grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.He does his
work neatly and
has good manners...he is a joy to be around."
His second grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates
,but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote,"His mother's death has been hard on him.He tries to do his
best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some
steps aren't taken."
Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest
in school.He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now,Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought
her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.Teddy's present,however,was clumsily wrapped
in
rough brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy's gifts,a rhinestone
bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laughed!"What
a pretty bracelet!Mm,lovely perfume!Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.
Alone together,after school,Teddy told Mrs Thompson,"Today you smelled just like my
Mom used to..." His teacher cried all night and,from that day,she stopped teaching reading,
writing,and arithmetic and began to teach children inste
ad.
