Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet（图章）ring. They were the “” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday. My mom gave me a signet ring with my initials(拼音字母)carved into it. I was in heaven.

What made it even special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”. We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything----so most of the new stuff（东西）we got was really just to replace what we’d lost，but not my ring. My ring was new.

Then, only one month later, I lost it，I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have

disappeared. At last，I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.

Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn’t my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any gift-giving occasion（时机）.Mum noticed my questioning look. “You’ll recognize this one.” She said，smiling.

Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.

The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecoration，which includes replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.

I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for! I

found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid

for her things. A student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some

flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this

date.

We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The

woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm

and beautiful-and I returned her gift by smiling back.

“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.

“Yes, she's special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’s

only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she's the one,” jokingly, I added,

"The only problem is that I can’t find out why she'd want to date a guy like me."

“Well, I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and

who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every

week-even when times were tough and we didn't have much money. Those were unforgettable

days; be was very romantic and-of course- I miss him since he’s passed away.”

I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her things. There was no doubt in my mind as

I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said “You were right, you know. These

flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed the flowers and thanked her for such a nice

conversation.

It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just chosen. “You

have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her

smelling the beautiful flowers.

I remember being a bit late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story.

A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me

that this story had helped -that was the night that I won her heart.

38. Why was the writer in a hurry that day?

A. He was to meet his girlfriend. B. He had to go back to school soon.

C. He was delayed by an elderly lady. D. He had to pick up some things.

39. What does the underlined phrase " refer to?

A. Her words. B. Her smile. C. Her flowers. D. Her politeness.

40. Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?

A. She told him a nice story. B. She allowed him to pay first.

C. She gave him encouragement. D. She liked flowers very much.

41. What the message did the writer want to tell us in the story?

A. Flowers are important for a date. B. Small talk is helpful.

C. Love and kindness are rewarding. D. Elderly people need to be respected.

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had

kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a

great deal to him, so I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had

muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would

not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He

wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming

difficulties and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He

spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was

talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different.

He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I

?You'll understand why I want you so desperately ?Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe ?You don't know oh oh

篇五：出生顺序真的会决定你的个性吗

出生顺序真的会决定你的个性吗？

According to Canadian duo Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown, fromToronto, who present an online science show, several theories suggest that where you are in your family determines who you are.

近日，加拿大多伦多的米切尔〃墨菲特和格雷格〃布朗在一个在线科学秀中指出，有几项理论表明，你的出生顺序会决定你是怎样的人。

FIRST-BORNS 老大

According to Mitchell and Brown, first-born children are expected to be higher academic achievers and more ambitious.

米切尔和布朗认为，家中排行老大的孩子通常会在学术上取得更高的成就，并且更具有野心。 They also have a stronger sense of responsibility and are generally more mature. 他们也会有更强的责任感，并且通常来说会更加成熟。 They also tend to have better leadership skills than other birth orders.

相比其他孩子来说，老大往往有更好的领导能力。

The explanation is because although they get a lot more affection and attention from their parents, their parents have higher expectations as the first child.

究其原因，是他们从父母那里得到了更多的爱和关注，而父母对第一个孩子往往会有更高的期望。 This works as a self-fulfilling prophecy: if there are high expectations placed on you, you are more likely to want to work hard and live up to these expectations.

这是一个自我实现的预言：如果你背负着很高的期望，就会更想努力工作，不辜负这些期望。

MIDDLE-BORNS 中间出生的孩子 Middle-born children apparently tend to be more co-operative, flexible and sociable. 中间出生的孩子显然更倾向于合作，更加灵活，并且更善交际。 They are also able to make and maintain friendships easily.

他们也很容易建立和维护友谊。

This is due to the fact that as a middle-born child, there aren't the high expectations of the first

child, nor the relaxed attitude accorded to the last child.

原因是，中间出生的孩子不像第一个孩子那样背负着很高的期望，也不像最小的孩子一样接受较为放松的教育。

As a result, they also tend to be less ambitious than their older brothers and sisters, and so will have a more relaxed attitude in life.

因此，与老大相比，他们往往没那么具有野心，在生活中也会保持相对放松的态度。

As middle children receive less attention than their other siblings, they seek out relationships and friendships outside of their family, and can be social butterflies.

排行中间的孩子得到的关注比其他兄弟姐妹更少，他们会在家庭之外寻找关系和友谊，成为社交达人。 FAMOUS MIDDLE CHILDREN

LAST-BORNS 最小的孩子

The youngest children tend to be likeable and charming.

最小的孩子往往是可爱和迷人的。

Other traits they carry are that they are more creative than older siblings, and have a stronger sense of security and confidence.

相比其他的孩子，他们更有创造性，有更强的安全感和信心。

As their parents have already had other children, they tend to be a lot less strict and are a lot more lenient with their youngest children.

因为父母已经有了其他的孩子，所以他们往往很少受到严格的管教，成长环境相对宽松。

Parents' expectations will also be lower.

父母的期望也会降低。

As a result, youngest children will generally be less responsible and mature than older siblings, as they constantly feel like others will take the lead.

因此，最小的孩子通常不太负责任，而且往往会更幼稚，因为他们常常觉得别人会给他们起带头作用。 FAMOUS YOUNGEST CHILDREN

ONLY CHILD 独生子女 Only children tend to be academically-able, creative and resourceful.

独生子女往往具有较强的学术能力、创造力和应变能力。 They are also mature and responsible, and dislike disorder and like to be in control.

他们也是成熟和负责任的，喜欢一切井井有条，不喜欢混乱的状态。

Being a parent's only child, expectations are always high, but unlike a first-born, they never need to fight for the attention of their parents.

作为父母唯一的孩子，他们总是背负着很高的期望。但与老大相比，他们不需要为了吸引父母的注意力而争斗。

Not to mention, being in a household with only adults often leads the child to mature more quickly and copy the actions of the parents, rather than being moulded by siblings' childish or youthful interests.

更不用说，一个只有成年人的家庭环境常会让孩子更快地开始成熟并模仿父母的行为，而不是在兄弟姐妹幼稚或年轻的兴趣环境中长大。

But because they have never had to interact with siblings or companions of a similar age, they can have trouble relating to peers and can feel out of control when things in their life don't go their way.

然而，因为他们从来没有兄弟姐妹或与他们年龄相仿的同伴，当事情没有按照他们的想法发展时，他们会就感到烦恼，容易失控。
