26、ed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never intr

27、oduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?” ks*5*u“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he

28、 accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends.

29、I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the worlds richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life.

32、ould avoid judging people by their appearances.Bks*5*uThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You ca

33、tch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into

34、 contact again with infected(感染病菌的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War, prisoners at the no

37、ctually dropped in his nose. ks*5*uIf, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter?

48、h it.Age makes a big difference in how children understand and react to a parents illness, and children at different ages need very different types of support. With 3- to 5-year-olds, one of the most important things is to consistently make sure that they are being taken care of during their parents

49、 illness. Children of this age can make short visits to the hospital, and they should have a longer visit from time to time. They should have toys to play with, and some activities they can do with their sick parent. Families should also try to control their emotions around children, because crying

50、may frighten them. Its difficult for them to understand the meaning of illness, or that death is permanent. Families should expect that in the weeks after a parent dies, the child will repeatedly ask where his or her mother or father is. Children between the ages of 6 and 8, on the other hand, under

51、stand death. They may become highly emotional and even blame themselves for their parents illness. Families should repeatedly explain the basic nature of the parents illness to children of this age.With 9- to 11-year-old children, families ought to give detailed information about the parents illness

52、 and treatment so that they can know what to expect. Children of this age even benefit from being able to help care their parent.After a parents death, its best for children in all of these age groups to get back to school and their normal activities as soon as they can, which helps them continue wi

Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. 71 When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, e

58、ither consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. 72 One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.If a friend complains

59、 that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just his own fault. 73 But all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, impro

60、ve our strength and our memory by the same means practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? 74 Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things.

Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.C. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever.D. So if

62、 you want a good memory, practice remembering.E. Someone else says that he is poor in health.F. Why is this?G.
