9、changing 36 of encouraging words.I 37 what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his students had made two lists of 38 , one positive and one negative. Then they 39 the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the 40 wo
10、rds for one month. They were 41 at how much better their lives became just by using words full of 42 . I decided to try this as well by 43 something good to write on each paper my students 44 . No matter how many mistakes a students paper 45 , there was always a 46 sentence, beautiful thought, or a
11、great idea that I could 47 on. I remember glancing over my desk and 48 some of the students reading those encouraging words 49 . It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their 50 sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot 51 . I recently saw one of my 52 students and w
12、e talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I 53 have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just 54 my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the 55 those few positive words had on his life. May

In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me,
17、looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” my stop was quickly coming up. I had few minutes to either take the c
18、heese bread, which nobody else was claiming, or left it there.In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I was stealing?” The ignorant thing to do
19、 was say “yes” to any of those self-imposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit comfortably in my office for the whole day, I couldnt get rid of the enormous sense of guilt and regret.My thou
20、ghts once pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overcome a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness?Just as the doors opened at my stop
21、, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt awesome, but I didnt care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queens park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wante
22、d to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.56.

Why did the author grab the cheese bread when he got off? A. He not
24、iced that no one was looking at him. B. He didnt want to see the cheese bread to go to taste. C. He valued kindness more than his own pride. D. He remembered a homeless man at that very moment.BRecently weve observed an increasing request from disadvantaged and regional schools for attending one of

More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research. “The latest data tells us that mor
36、e and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released the report. Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives, but
37、 not just their children and grandchildren. “They are using the Internet to keep up with the world and the people who are important to them,” said Jean Koppen, the author of the report. She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their fri
38、ends and those in the same age group. Almost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. “Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet,” according to the report. The findings are base
39、d on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technology.

C. A technology guide. D. A students research paperD.There is a big question making the rounds among th
44、e parents at my daughters class. Should the kids refer to the parents friends as “Mr. Jones” or “Mrs. Smith”, rather than using their first names? I was quite shocked, having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents friends by their first names. This was res
45、erved for only the closest of family friends and relatives, and even they always had “Aunt” or “Uncle” in front their name. Respect is something that is earned. Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture（培养）in our kids, respect is a bit more complicated. It is not only necessary when dealing well with others, but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives. There are several factors that can hav
