Love cures people—both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
——Dr. Karl Menninger
I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him 41 that the main reason why I was 42 with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack . A(n) 43 in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce ,the interviewer ,was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe(探查) any 44 .He acknowledged my loss and ,with great respect ,moved on to another 45 .
After the next 46 of interview , Bruce took me to lunch with another manager .Then he asked me to take a 47 with him. He told me that he , 48 , had lost his wife .And he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had 49 the same pain 50 I had , a pain that was almost 51 to explain to someone who had not 52 a loved 53 . He offered his business card and home phone number and 54 that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to 55 , I should feel 56 to give him a call. No matter whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I 57 needed any help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea 58 we would see each other again, he helped me 59 one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normally 60 business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of need.

Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.
Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time for chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium"s atomic weight.
As a child, Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory. She learned to read when she was only four years old. Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy. Her family became very poor, and at the age of 18, Marie became a governess. She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris. Later, her sister helped Marie with her education. In 1891, Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie, a well-known physicist.
Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays. She received two Nobel prizes for her brilliant work, but died of leukemia, caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive material.

So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance in Alan Bennett’s The History Boys, he spoke angrily to the theatergoer （爱看戏的人）, “I am not going to compete with these electronic devices （装置）．”
Griffiths’ actions led to a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres, too．Actors have already asked the government to legalise （使合法化） the use of an electronic device that stops mobile phone signals in theatres．
Technology companies have “stopping” devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency （频率） as a mobile phone, stopping the mobile phone signal．
However, these are forbidden in many countries because they might stop emergency calls from being made．
Rosemary Squire, president of the Society of West End Theatre, said, “Phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face．We should look at equipment that could stop phones or make a London-wide theatre rule．”
Nick Allott, the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh’s theatre group, said, “We would all welcome some ways of stopping ringing phones but doctors and emergency workers need to be connected in a theatre and we mustn’t stop that．” What can we do to solve the problem?
小题1:What can we infer from the second paragraph?
| A．Surely Griffiths did better than mobile phones in the theatre． |
| B．Griffiths didn’t want mobile phones to affect his performance． |
| C．Griffiths was jealous that mobile phones attracted the audience’s attention． |
| D．Griffiths taught theatergoers a lesson in the performance as a teacher． |
| A．have the same functions as mobile phones |
| B．cause the biggest problem theatres have to face |
| C．prevent the mobile phones signals from being received |
| D．help doctors or emergency workers receive emergency calls |
| A．“stopping” devices can make the sound of mobile phones disappear |
| B．no one except doctors and emergency workers should have mobile phones |
| C．phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face |
| D．stopping phones in theatres has some side effects |
| A．Griffiths’ next performance in theatres． |
| B．The opinions the public has about the problem． |
| C．The ways to solve the cellphone problem in public places． |
| D．The side effects mobile phones have on people． |
There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds．
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things．Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied．By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt） many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere．If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied．The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation．It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors．The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit．
Though in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect．This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments．If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success．Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes．If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings．These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others．If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them．Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels．

he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator. One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it. You can’t be positive all the time. How do you do it?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.’ I choose the first. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life.”
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower. I saw him about six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. I knew I needed to take action. So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’. Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’.”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that he had something special locked away inside him. He took his courage and went to one of the top theater agents. With no experience at all, he was offered a plum part (意外得到的好角色) in a new production of “Sherlock Holmes”, which opened on July 27, 1903 at the famous “Pavilion Theatre”. Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do. By 1910, Charlie had become “one of the best pantomime (哑剧) artists ever seen ”.
Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie thought people still believed it was a passing fashion, and would never replace live shows. But after using several weeks to watch and to learn, he was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success—and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.
Charlie’s first film, released in February 1914, was called “Making a living”. After that he made another ten. The public loved him and producers were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture.
