I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 29 . A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was30 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car 31 on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about 32 years old.

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 41 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 42_ ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their 43 into tears, I felt very frustrated (沮丧的).I realized I needed to 44 my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time 45 their rooms. On their desks, in plain __46 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 47 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 48 arriving back, the children were __49 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy ___50 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 51 asking them to play a certain violin 52 . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 53 .
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 54 : “If you can finish your homework and __55 your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 56 of well done jobs the day___57 .
58 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条).

We all benefited from and 60 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

You are near the front line of a battle. Around you shells (炮弹)are exploding; people are shooting from a house behind you. What are you doing there? You aren’t a soldier. You aren’t 36 carrying a gun. You’re standing in front of a 37 and you’re telling the TV 38 what is happening.
It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter, and it can be very 39 . In the first two years of the 40 in former Yugoslavia(前南斯拉夫), 28 reporters and photographers were killed. Hundreds more were 41 .
What kind of people put themselves in danger to 42 pictures to our TV screens and 43 to our newspapers? Why do they do it ?
“I think it’s every young journalist’s 44 to be a foreign reporter,” says Michael Nicholson, “that’s 45 you find the excitement. So when the first opportunity comes, you take it 46 it is a war.”
But there are moments of 47 . Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes, when you’re lying on the ground and bullets(子弹)are flying 48 your ears, you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling 49 after a while and when the next war starts, you’ll be 50 .”
“None of us believes that we’re going to 51 ” adds Michael. But he always 52 a lucky charm(护身符)with him. It was given to him by his wife for his first war. It’s a card which says “Take care of yourself.” Does he ever think about dying? “Oh, 53 , and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this, I 54 I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God 55 , because you know he doesn’t believe you .”

The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus(菜单) across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(准确) of the translations.
Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪).
But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation(期望). It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients(配方), the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”.
Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?

A.Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes. B.Because the public expect them to do so. C.Because Chinese dishes are popular. D.Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food.

A.They are too long to remember. B.Many of them are not correct. C.They lack cultural meaning and attraction. D.They are difficult to learn.

A.Monks can jump high. B.Monks lived a poor life. C.Old China had little meat for people. D.The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious.

One Saturday afternoon, my daughter Alice asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color?”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, 36 you can just wait until we make a quick 37 at the grocery store(杂货店). I have something 38 to show you. ”
At the grocery store, we 39 some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, “It’s time to 40 your question.” I put one apple of each 41 on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a 42 look on her face.
“People are like apples. They come in all 43 colors, shapes and sizes. On the 44 , some of the apples may not 45 look as the others. ” As I was talking, Alice was 46 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮)them, 47 them back on the table, but 48a different place.
“Okay, Alice, tell me which is which.”
She said, “I 49 tell. They all look the same now. ” “Take a bite of 50 . See if that helps you 51 which one is which. ”
She took 52 , and then a huge smile came across her face. “People are 53 like apples! They are all different, but once you 54 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
She totally 55 it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.
