A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (責(zé)備) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and       those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again         brother and me around before the ship was out of        , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of         in with the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing        , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while         some type of part-time job. Leaving a         career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. While she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, somehow, managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and comfortable.
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,         with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to         a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this       into adventure for us all! Each relocation (變換位置) was a chance to       another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a         to rearrange furniture, make curtains and         pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a         attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so       all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my heroine.

When I worked in a large city, passing by someone experiencing homelessness wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me       , and I often felt, “I would be one of them        the kindness of God.”
I felt forced to do something, and as a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to  __    a plan that fit my limited budget. I began by        five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, passing        out to those I met on the street.
Though a dollar felt like a small       , I realized how      _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.        we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to        more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars       , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had        enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I        that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to        them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for       . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel        taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone       . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your       .”
I can’t help but feel that my        with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I        by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has        mine.

Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact(接觸) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?
It’s all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey （調(diào)查）by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
小題1:The writer mainly _________ in this article.
A．tells us how to achieve personal space
B．explains what personal space people need is
C．introduces some knowledge about personal space
D．a(chǎn)rgues for the importance of keeping personal space
小題2:Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?
A．A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.
B．A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.
C．A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.
D．A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.
小題3:What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?
A．People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.
B．People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.
C．There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs.
D．Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.
B．If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated.
C．People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.
D．Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.
