Mr and Mrs Moore were invited to a Christmas party at a hotel one year. They 1their car outside and went in. Mr Moore had never got drunk (醉) before, so he was2not to drink too much,3his friends asked him to drink more 4 .

    During the party, Mrs Moore found that she had5to bring her bag, so she asked her husband to go out to the car and6it for her. He7so,but on his way back to the hotel gate ,he heard a car horn(喇叭) blowing near his own car. He thought 8might be in need of help and went over to the car with the 9. He found a small black bear sitting in the driving-seat and blowing the horn.

    When Mr Moore 10the party, he told several people about the bear, but of course they did not believe him and thought he was drunk. When he took them out of the hotel to 11that his story was12, he found that the car with the 13 in it had gone. There were so many14about Mr Moore's black bear during the next week that he at last put an advertisement(广告)in the newspaper;“If anyone saw a black bear blowing the horn in a car outside the Century Hotel 15 the   evening of Christmas Day, please tell…”

    Tow days later16Mrs Richards called him and said that she and her husband had left their pet (宠物) bear in their car outside the Century Hotel for a few minutes that evening, and that17 he had blown the horn.

    Mrs Richards did not 18to think there was anything19about that.“Our bear likes blowing car horns,”she said,“and we don't20when we are not driving the car.”

    During World Space Week(October 4～10)，you may learn about some of the space's myths. One is: “The Great Wall of China is the only man­made object1from space with the naked eye.”

    You might be2of this claim, but it's not true. In fact, astronauts say that the Great Wall is just one of many man­made3can be seen from space. From an orbit 217 kilometres4the earth，it is5to see highways，airports，bridges, dams and even large6.

    Cities can even be seen clearly from the International Space Station ( ISS, 国际空间站)，7circles about 400 kilometres above the planet. “You can see the8pyramids from space with a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜). They are a little difficult to9with just your eyes，” said Ed Lu, a US astronaut10the ISS.

    “With binoculars  you  can  also see  roads, harbours and even very large11in the ocean. From the moon, astronauts cannot12any man­made features on earth and the continents are very hard13. On Mars，the earth would appear to the naked eye as14but a bright 'star'. ”15what about the Great Wall? “You can see the Great Wall from space，”Lu said. “But it's a lot16than a lot of other objects. You can only see it in radar images，17in ordinary photographs.”

    No one knows who18the Great Wall story. The earliest reference to it comes in a book by a US writer Richard Halliburton，published in 1938. He wrote，“Astronomers say that the Great Wall is the only man­made thing on our planet visible to the human eye from the moon.”

    Halliburton's books19quite well during the first half of the 20th century. So，if he didn't20the story himself，he certainly spread it widely.

    I believe different people have experienced different adolescence, I must admit I was still an angry1in my first year of college. My 2 was that my parents didn't please me at all.

    Our finances were 3so I chose to go to a (n)4college and take a bus to classes every day. One day I had a(n)5fight with my father, We both explode into shouts,6 out of the house and missed my bus to school.

    I rushed all the way to school. As I7across the campus toward my class, I suddenly I realized didn't have the 8 that was due: a thought card. My professor asked us to 9 an index card with our names and the dales every Tuesday.10 what was to be on the rest of the card, we could write a thought, a question or something else.

    Now, outside the door, ten minutes later. I took an index card.11 to write something on it, I could only think about the 12 I'd just had with my dad. I wrote “I am the son of an idiot!” then13 into the room, and handed it to our professor.

    Next day, our professor 14 the thought cards and I 15 that he wrote, “What does the 'son of an idiot' do with the nest of his life?” The professor's innocent-seeming question16me to the issue: whose problem is it?17, my thinking began to shift, I realized that I had created a life18 I was not a central figure!

    The 19 of growth wasn't easy or fast. Years later, from a 20student, I became a successful student and then a successful teacher.

    I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new 1 , and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. 2 he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his 3 .So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely 4for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you ,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.5 me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he 6 me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had 7 spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 8 son. She kissed me again and left.

    I had nurtured(培养) in her I sat, stunned ( 惊 呆), for about half an hour , 9 what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without 10 knowing it? What I finally came to 11 was one day, several months before, when some students were 12 reports in the front of the class. Jeanne spoke13 ,and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the 14 one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in the 15 of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, 16 more, and became happy. And it was all because he 17 to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed 18was the one who took the last seat that day.

    It taught me the most 19 lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came 20 and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

    Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local high school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on it. Ann said that she could 1 it only for the day.

    Tracy took photos of the 2 and printed off 400 FOUND fliers (传单), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann bought some pet 3 in the dollar store nearby, and warned her two 4 not to fall in love with it. At the time, Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was 5 from a heart operation, was 21 years old.

    Four days later Ann was still 6 the dog, whom they had started to 7 Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog 8 itself against the screen door and barked 9 at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley 10 into the boys' room where Ann 11 that Jack was suffering a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, and as soon as Ann bent over to 12 him the dog went13.

    "If it hadn't come to get me, the 14 said Jack would have died," Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to 15 the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

    The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter 16 his dog and called the 17  on the flier. Tracy started 18, and told him, "That dog 19 my friend's son."

    Peter drove to Ann's house to 20 his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, "Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it."

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited.The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out.When he did come out he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare(瞪眼看)at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited,sweating from fear of the old man.The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house.A lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same from their parents.

As he was ready to walk away,the door slowly opened."What do you want?" the old man said.The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines.

"Uh,sir,I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one." The old man just stared at the boy.The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小狗雕像) on the wall."Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked."Yes,I have many collections in my house.They are my family here.They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man,as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul."Well,I do have a magazine here for collectors.It is perfect for you.I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said,"No,boy,I don't need any magazines of any kind,now goodbye."

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale.He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned.The boy went home and then had an idea.He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
