              Many people thought that U.S. President Calvin Coolidge always lived in the White House. However, he sometimes lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.
              Once, in the middle of a night, the President woke up to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmly spoke up from the darkness, "I wish you wouldn't take that watch."
              "Why?" asked the shocked man.
              Coolidged answered, "Take it near the window and read what is engraved(雕刻) on the back of it."
              The man read, "Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court." He was very surprised!
              "Are you President Coolidge?" he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!
              "Yes, I am." Coolidge said. Then he asked, "Why are you doing this, Son?"
              The young man explained that he and two friends traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.
              Coolidge added up thecost. It came to 32.That may not sound like much now,but it was a big number then."I'll give you the32 as a loan(借款)," the President said, "And I expect you to pay me back."
              The young man thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: "Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are."
              It wasn't until after the death of Mr.Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the newspaper Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the President's notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32loan in full.

              "If you want to see a thing well, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!"
              That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
              Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth(平滑的)and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass ball is.
              When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
              With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand. Too
              You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like the sounds of music.
              All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often touch before we buy them. To see something well, we have to touch it.
              The bottoms of your feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
              There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin.
              Most museums are just for looking, But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, "Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show.
              If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

              (1) By touching things ______ .
              A. you will buy them.
              B. you will learn how to reach out your hand
              C. you can know things better.
              D. you can tell what colors they are
              (2) When people buy things in shops, they ______
              A. often feel and touch them.
              B. never feel how heavy they are.
              C. just look at them.

              Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air.You name them work,family,health,friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it,it will bounce (弹跳) back.
              But the other four balls,family,health,friends and spirit,are made of glass.If you drop one of these,they will be broken.They will never be the same.You must understand that and try to have balance in your life.How?
              Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different and each of us is special.

              Don't use time or words carelessly.You can't get them back.Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery,and today is a gift; that's why we call it"the present"Life is not a competition,but a trip,step by step.

              Without proper planning,tourism can cause problems.For example,too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country.If tourists create too much traffic,the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country,keep the customs and beauty than attract tourist.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.

              For example,a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time,the owners of the hotel lose money.
              Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many support facilities as well,including roads to get to the hotel,electricity,sewers to handle waste,waste,and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists,jobs and money are lost.

              To me, the idea of home changes along with my age all the time.
              In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today's children. I didn't have to appear in front of my parents right after school. Instead, I often went to play with my classmates who lived in my neighborhood. We played until dinner was ready and our parents called "Come back! Come home for supper."
              Very soon, my childhood was gone. When I grew into a young man from a boy. Home became a place I tried to run away from.
              As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small. And words of care from my parents became meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on my own green uniform. Home was the series of letters I received one after another.
              When I got a job, I began to get ‘hurt', to rise and fall in the sea of people, and to understand that you can't share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house

              How often do you let other people’s rude actions change your mood*? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is howquicklyyou can come back to   (1)   to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this   (2)   at the back of a taxi in New York.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I said, “  (8)   did you just do that? This guy nearlykilledus!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage* Truck.”

                 He said, “Likegarbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret.Astheir garbage increases more and more, they  (9)   a place to pour it. They’ll pour it on you  (10)   you let them. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be   (11)   .”

                I started thinking: how   (12)   do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and   (13)   it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.
