26、   My dad was a farmer in the Midwest and he spent his winters selling insurance. Dad could really talk up anyone and his favorite thing to do was find out their income. Once we were at Chicago's O'Hare airport. Dad was sitting with me as I waited for my flight to Fort Lauderdale. A Russian guy who sat down next to my dad could not speak a word of English but this did not stop my dad. He found out his business, how many children he had and of course how much he made.

I used to be a little embarrassed by this, but I changed later. It was in the last year of dad's life. As I was home visiting with my husband and twins and I was in the car with my mom, she told me a story about how she was in the doctor's office with dad and how he was his usual self-talking away to the others in the waiting room. She said he started talking to this young man in a wheel chair who could not talk, could not move his arms or head, really couldn't do anything. But dad was asking questions and got the young man to smile in response. And he carried on like that with the disabled man till he was called back to the doctor's office. When the young man and his father got up to see the doctor, the father of the young man came over and shook my dad's hands and said, "Thank you for speaking to my son. Most people just turn away when they see him.'

My father ended up dying later that month, a sudden heart attack. Fortunately, all the 9 children of his had been home that summer to visit. I told this story at his funeral（葬礼）. Truly, my dad was one who never knew a stranger.

27、   Loneliness is a feeling I know very well. I live in an apartment with no one but my dog, and I don’t get a lot of company because most of my friends have moved to another town, got married, or simply lost touch. I loved the peace and quiet at first, but a few months later, I realized I had a serious problem and decided to learn how to live a happy life alone. 【1】.

1. Take Care of Your Home

When you’re not around other people, it is easy to lose interest in tidying up your home. Even if you don’t have a roommate or company that frequently walks in your door, 【2】.

2. 【3】

If you don’t see beauty in your world, you’re not looking hard enough. If you’re home alone and feeling down, walk outside and spend some time with nature. Go to the park, walk on a nature trail, clear your thoughts, listen to the sounds of the forest, and you will find the beauty that’s right in front of you.

3. Watch Out for Noisy Thoughts

【4】. If you find yourself thinking, “I feel so lonely right now,” it’s easy to keep that thought process going in the wrong direction. If you find yourself stressing out, do something that relaxes you. Light some candles or incense, take a nice hot bubble bath, perform some gentle yoga poses, or play soft music.

4. Create Something of Value

The best way to feel happy alone is to spend your time creating something that brings you joy. start a blog about a topic that interests you, 【5】, or learn a new language, like German or Spanish.

Having friends and family is great but we all need to learn how to live a happy life alone.

28、   In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself 【1】. Leave. Go.

After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.

I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. 【2】. But I wanted to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. And you now what? 【3】. Only one thing took me by surprise — few students were from the country side. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.

【4】.

And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.

I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.

More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I don’t want to add to that movement. 【5】. Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.

A. I want to do the opposite

B. Understood the difference in social atmosphere.

C. Get well prepared for your future.

D. I did love my time there.

E. Young people can’t go back to their towns.

F. It was like small town America didn’t exist.

G. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.

29、   A mother of a cheerful five-year-old just returned from a meeting of the National Organization for Women. Inspired by exciting dreams for the possibilities of womanhood, she asked her daughter what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Lisa quickly answered, “A nurse.”

There was a time when nursing was thought of as a woman’s job and the answer somehow seemed not to be satisfied. She had, after all, just returned from a new meeting.

“You can be anything you want to be,” she reminded her daughter. “You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a banker, president of the country — you can be anything.”

“Anything?” Lisa asked.

“Anything!” her mother smiled.

“I know,” Lisa said. “I want to be a horse!”

Lisa’s dream may need some improvement, but there is plenty of time for that. When do we give up dreaming about the future? When do we resign (听任) ourselves to simply replaying dreams from the past?

Maybe her dream needs to mature (成熟) a bit, but would you rather have the optimism (乐观) of a five-year-old girl who wants to be a horse, or the pessimism (悲观) of an adult who says in despair, “I can’t be anything at all”?

Teddy Roosevelt said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” I believe that is the way to make those dreams come true. So everyone need look up and dream of something beautiful while working hard to the dream.

【1】What did the girl really want to be when she grew up?

A.A nurse. B.A horse. C.A banker. D.A lawyer.

【2】How did the mother feel when hearing her daughter’s first answer?

A.Satisfied. B.Puzzled. C.Disappointed. D.Excited.

【3】The lesson we can learn from the passage is that we should ______.

A.stop children dreaming of something strange

B.advise parents how to educate children

C.encourage adults to learn from children

D.help children to set up a big goal

【4】The true meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is ______.

A.Stand on the ground and watch the stars

B.Have a big dream and work hard

C.Protect your eyesight while working

D.Find a good way to watch the stars
