“You may4 lots of splashes (飛濺 ) in your life,5the waves that come from those splashes will 6the peace of all your fellow7,”he said.
“Remember that you are 8for what you put in your circle and that the circle will also9many other circles. You will need to live in the 10that allows the good that comes from your circle to 11the peace of that goodness to12. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those13to other circles. You are responsible for14.”
That was the first time I 15each person creates the inner peace or discord (沖突) that 16out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are 17with inner conflicts, hatred, 18, or anger. We radiate (流露) the feelings and thoughts that we hold 19,whether we speak them out or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
We are 20to everything and everyone else around in the universe.

I began to feel proud of myself---here was a working-class boy who’d 15 school early, now teaching at the university.
My writing career 16 when I discovered my own writing 17. Now I’m rich and famous, have been on TV, and met lots of film stars. 18 what does it mean? I just wish that all those people who have 19 me down had just said, “I believe in you and you will be 20.”

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was1 today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you2 at home?”
Then I noticed his3 and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career.4 our family has been his joy, and I guess I have5 his work for granted.

Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should6our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is7.”

I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感覺(jué)很好)，Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”，it wouldn't take me a whole19to think of the right20.

Keving Rogers used to be my boss.At that time he always told us to sell more.As soon as I could,I left his shop and got a new job in another place.The last time I saw Rogers was more than ten years ago.At least that’s what I thought.But now I am not so sure.
I was on my way to my office in the centre of town.There is a small park nearby,which I sometimes walk through after lunch.The park was almost empty except for a shabby-looking man on one of those benches（凳子）.The man looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old gray coat.It was cold and windy,and he was trembling(哆嗦).
“It’s a long time since I had a meal.Can you help me?”he said.There was something about his voice that sounded familiar.I gave him a few pennies.As he went past me I looked at his face closely.I wondered where I had seen him before.Then it suddenly came to me.Could it possibly be…? No!Impossible,I thought.I watched him walking away.He was the same height as Rogers but looked a lot thinner than I remembered.
Yesterday I ran into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time as I did,and had stayed on longer.I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park.”For a moment I thought it was our old boss.But it couldn’t have been.Rogers must be the head of a company now.”I said.
My ex-workmate shook his head,”I thought you knew.” “Knew?Knew what?What are you talking about?”

I am Sergey Brin! I was born in Moscow. In 1979,when I was 5, my family immigrated to California, USA . I remember that on my 9th birthday, I got my first computer “Commodore 64”.
Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT. The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data. I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines.
The greatest event in my life happened when in 1998 I was preparing for the defense(論文答辯) of my Doctor’s degree in the Stanford University. There the fate made me meet Larry Page—a young computer genius. Larry belonged to the intellectual society. I and Larry quickly became friends when we were working together.
We were searching day and night on the Internet. We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn’t find enough of what we were looking for . Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us. It wasn’t our plans but we gave up the education at the university. You know the next part ,maybe—we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Peplo Park, California , the USA into our first office, in which Google was born. With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th,1998—www.Google.com. Now after those years we bought this garage.

Gossip moves so quickly that few people have time to cover their ears, even if they want to.
“I hate it when others gossip about me,” said Mandy Miraglia, 16, a high school student from California, “but to be honest, gossip about my friends makes me feel I am trusted and belong to the group.” Miraglia is not the only person feeling like that.
Gossip has long been looked down on as little more than nonsense and bad manners. But recent research has shown that gossip has many positive effects on your social life.
“There has been a trend among people to dislike gossip,” said David Sloan Wilson, Professor from the State University of New York in Binghamton, US, “but gossip appears to be a very important form of behavior in a group of friends, defining their group membership.”
For 18 months, Kevin Kniffin, from the University of Wisconsin, US, researched the behavior of 50 people. He found that gossip levels peaked when a sports team included a slacker, someone who regularly missed practices or showed up late. Other members of the team would soon start to joke about the slacker’s shortcomings behind his back, because they thought they were bad for the whole team.
Gossip about the mistakes of senior members helps newcomers rebuild their confidence after a failure.
It also helps relieve social and professional anxiety. Long-term studies show that people around the world devote from a fifth to two-thirds or more of their daily conversation to gossip, and men appear to be just as eager for gossip as women.
It is hard to judge gossip, but it is more powerful than you think.

  1. 1.

    The author would probably agree that______________.

    1. A.

      gossip is somewhat like nonsense
    4. D.

  2. 2.

    What does the underlined word “slacker” mean according to the context?

    1. A.
      Someone who values the team benefit much.
    2. B.
      Someone who does not do what they should well.
    3. C.
      Someone who is active in sports.
    4. D.
      Someone who shows no much interest in sports.

British men are couch potatoes. They spend nearly half their free?time watching TV. They watch more TV than women, do less housework, less charity work and less childcare—but spend more time shopping, a poll(民意測(cè)驗(yàn)) suggests. Analysts(分析家) from Eurostat, the EU's statistical office, interviewed working men and women in 10 countries.?
Britain, where men devoted 49% of their free?time to the box, came a narrow second to the Hungarians with 51%.German and Norwegian men watched the least TV—just over one third of their spare time.?
The analysts took the average of the figures for the whole year including holidays and weekends. They broke down the “average day” into five categories(類(lèi))—free-time, sleep, meals and personal care, travel, domestic chores(家務(wù)事) and work or study. It shows that British men have four hours and 41 minutes free time each day—20 minutes more than women. But women spend nearly double the amount of time on domestic chores than men. Almost three-and-a-half hours of a woman's day is taken up with domestic work, compared to less than two hours for men.?
Food preparation makes up the bulk(量) of the chores, with leaning and shopping the next most time-consuming. They further broke down the free-time and domestic categories to show that men spend 137 minutes each day in front of the TV, compared to women's 114 minutes.
Women spend slightly more time socializing resting and reading than men, but slightly less time on hobbies, sport and exercise. Universally unpopular with both sexes is culture—accounting for just 2% of both men and women's leisure time.?
