When I was a little girl,I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Fri?day night I 1 at the dinner table, " My teacher said we have to bring a box,a special box, for our Valentines(情人節(jié)) on Monday.”
Mother said, "We'll see," and she continued eating.
What did " We'll see" mean? I had to have that box 2 my second grade Valentine's Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn't love me enough to help me with my 3
All Saturday I waited 4 and with Sunday arriving,my concern increased,but I 5 an enquiry about the box might 6 anger or loud voice,for in my house children only ask once. More than that 7 trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 8 of different kinds. A (n) 9 shoebox rested on top of it. 10 flooded through me when Daddy said, "Let's get started 11 your project.”
In the next hour my father 12 the shoebox into an impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 13 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 14 smile spread over his face. " What do you think of that?" he asked.
I answered him with a hug. But inside, 15 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father de?voted so much 16 to me,for his world consisted of work only.
The holiday party arrived,and my classmates put cards,and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time 17
On the way home,I held out my valentine box for the world to 18 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all inside.
The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 19 through decades of other Valentine's Days. He gave me other gifts through the years,but none 20 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old,empty shoebox.

We live on a shrinking planet! There's no need for measurements. World populations continue to grow and put ever-increasing demands on natural re?sources. Every day cities are expanding their borders and infringing on sur?rounding farmlands and forests. Every day plants and animals are becoming extinct(滅絕的) as a result of the expansion of our modern society. The con?servation efforts of governments may be able to preserve many forests and public lands for future generations to enjoy but they can't stop the lines wait?ing to get into these places from getting unbearably long. Camping requires uncrowded open spaces in order to be appreciated. As a result,the opportuni?ties for memorable camping experiences are getting fewer.
What are the better reasons to go camping to enjoy the outdoors and the scenic wonders of nature while we still can? With popular outdoor destinations requiring reservations as much as a year in advance,the feeling of the outdoors is getting lost in the crowds. More and more it's becoming necessary to camp in the off season or to travel great distances in order to find any peace or stay alone.
There are many valid reasons for escaping the daily activities of ordinary life and camping helps that escape for many of us. We all need a return to na?ture now and then. We all can benefit with a break from our daily activities. The thought of sitting around a campfire under a clear sky,staring up at the stars,and listening to the sounds of the night can strengthen our bodies,calm our minds,and restore our spirits. Camping is renewing!
Search for your youth and go camping! And,wherever you find peace,stop for a moment and reflect on how blessed you are to be able to sense this mar?velous planet we call Campground Earth. Remember to share your love for the outdoors with family and friends and to help pass on some respect for nature to future generations.

At the beginning of the year,I had all these plans to travel to different states? such as Florida,Georgia and California. Going to South Africa was definitely not in my plans. However,the stars seemed to align (排成直線) to make this trip possible. I had a friend who was returning there. Before she went back, she told me a lot of amazing things about that country and then I decided that I had to go there.
However,since I hadn't planned to go to South Africa at frist, I didn't have money saved up ready to buy the ticket. You can imagine how much a round-trip ticket to South Africa costs. Luckily,while Iwas try?ing to figure out how I was going to pay for this plane ticket? I got an e-mail out of the blue from a gentleman from Denmark who was ready to give me money. It sounded hard to believe,but yes. This guy wanted to give me money to buy one of my domain names(域名) . The timing couldn't be more perfect. After a few e-mails back and forth, I received the money.

I didn't have to check how many sick days I had left or how to get my vacation approved by a man?ager. The keyword is flexibility(靈活性) .Having freedom to do what you want is one of the great advan?tages of having your own online business.

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old,short and tall,thin and fat. It is everybody's second language. It is easy to un?derstand ,although you can't hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, "I want to be friendly",but you are not using speech, you are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, " Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can't talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago,a French priest,Charles Michel de Epee,became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet(字母表) .It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands,and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gal-laudet College in Washington, D C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time,the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.

As goods and services improved,people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new,and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets,for example,its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up,but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wireless,washing machine, electric kettle) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of re?placement was ftilly repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever,but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very,very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets,in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs, we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times;but wouldn't it be better to see airfares drop dramatically,as capital costs become relatively insignificant? Again,in the context of a 70 mph. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other's speeds, im?provements in performance are actually irrelevant;improvements in handling are unnecessary,as most production cars grip(抓牢) the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars―or wire?less,electric kettles,washing machines, television sets―which are made to last,and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing,but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.
( ) 1. The author is obviously challenging the social norm(社會規(guī)范) that .
A.it is important to improve goods and services
B.development of technology makes our life more comfortable
C.it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time
D.slightly improved new products are worth buying
( ) 2. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they .
A.could fly in the latest model of good planes
B.could get tickets at much lower prices
C.see the airlines make vital changes in their services
D.could spend less time flying in the air
( ) 3. In the case of cars,the author advises that we .
A.cancel the speed limit
B.further improve their performance
C.change models every two years
D.improve their durability(耐久性)
