26、Do you believe the happiness of your life has anything to do with the quality of your thoughts? Let me tell you about my friend Matt if you don’t.
Several months ago I was asked to be a FB friend with a guy named Matt. I was told that Matt had been in a terrible motorcycle accident in June of 2017. As a result of that accident, Matt’s wife died. What’s worse, Matt broke 42 bones and was burned over 33% of his body. He spent two months in the York Metro burn unit, one month in recovery center and another nine months in therapy. At first, the doctors were not sure that Matt would even live. Then he received a bad report and it was doubtful that he would ever walk again.
If there is anyone who could have fallen into a pit of self-pity, you would believe it could be Matt. But that is not what Matt chose to do. He gave it his best shot in rehab and therapy. In the end, not only did he live, but he could also walk! Believe it or not, Matt went back to work this past April! He put a quote on FB. When I read the quote knowing all Matt had been through, tears filled my eyes. Here's the quote: “Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positiveness is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”.
Matt has a new goal now to write a book and share his story to help others. Most people don't like to do public speaking but Matt wants to do that. My friend Matt is a true inspiration!

29、 That black woman was a cleaner in our school and her job was to wipe down the lockers, clean the floor, and check the drawings on the wall. She never seemed to smile and was always yelling at kids for throwing trash on the ground.
One afternoon, I saw that two boys kicked over garbage cans, spilling garbage.
“What are you doing? Get back and clean this mess up!” the woman shouted.
The boys ran away, making faces to her.
She sighed sadly and began collecting the trash A few tears fell from her eyes. I went up to help her pick up piece of crumpled (皱巴巴) paper and smiled at her. The woman looked at me with shock, and for a moment I thought she would smile back, but she simply went to gather the trash. The next time when I saw her, I called out, “Good morning!” She stopped and looked at me. Then, she smiled back. It was a really beautiful smile.
We continued this relationship. We both smiled and waved as we met but we didn’t know each other, until one day when she asked me a question, “You are not from around here, are you?”
“Well, I’ve lived here all my life, if that’s what you mean,” I told her.
She was surprised. “Oh, I just thought you talk differently and you’re so friendly. I didn’t get that a lot...” she said.
After that day, we have become real friends. What this experience has taught me is that little gestures of kindness are often the most appreciated. By offering a simple smile and pleasant helle, I helped give this woman a better day and gained a valuable friendship.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威)rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily pays great attention to learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.
There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned (成为孤儿)children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, with much less possibility of ending up in Special Education classes, receiving public help or going to prison.
There are also negative parts to put a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that "the younger the child,the less his chances of catching up with first grade work. " I have personally witnessed (见证)many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school.
Actually, while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early primary years, studies also show that this head start is really a "false start", as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap (差距) in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.
