One family, which had emigrated from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco, had established a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.
The other family was a naturalized(加入国籍的)family from Switzerland who also marketed roses, and 21 families became modestly successful, 22 their roses were known in the markets of San Francisco for their 23 vase-life.
For four decades the two families were neighbors, and the sons 24 the farms, but then on December 7, 1941, Japan 25 Pearl Harbor. Although the rest of the family members were American, the 26 of the Japanese family had never been naturalized. In the turmoil(动乱) and the questions about internment camps（拘留营）, his neighbor made it clear that, if 27 , he would look after his friend’s nursery（花圃）. It was 28 each family had learned in church—Love the neighbor as thyself. “You would do 29 for us, ” he told his Japanese friend.
It was not long before the Japanese 30 was transported to a poor landscape in Granada, Colorado. The relocation center consisted of tar-paper-roofed barracks (兵营) 31 by barbed wire and armed guards.
A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the 32 neighbors were in internment, their friends worked in the greenhouses, the 33 before school and on Saturdays, and the father's work often stretched to 16 and 17 hours. And then 34 , when the war in Europe had
35 , the Japanese family packed up and 36 a train. They were going home.
What would they find? The family was 37 at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family stared.. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy.
So was the balance of the bank passbook 38 to the Japanese father. And the house was 39 as clean and welcoming as the nursery.
And there on the dining room 40 was one perfect red rosebud, just waiting to unfold- the gift of one neighbor to another.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 36 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize.

How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses? You may be 16 to follow trends（潮流）in Western countries, but young people in the United States don’t care as much about 17 as you do.
A recent survey among high school 18 in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that 19 teenagers care more about their appearance than young people in the US.
This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were 20 about their views on life and the world. South Koreans, at 83 per cent, cared most about their looks. They were 21 by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 per cent.
“The different results show 22 of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre. He explained that in the US there are many different 23 of beauty, so teens are more 24 to be confident about their appearance.
US teenagers’ high self-confidence is displayed in the 25 . About 85 per cent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 per cent.
What’s 26 , US students showed more individuality, with 88 per cent 27 that “people should follow their own interests rather than 28 of others”. This is much 29 than South Korea’s 69 per cent, China’s 49 and Japan’s 48.
Japanese students, at 52 per cent, are most dissatisfied with modern society. Chinese and Koreans follow at second and 30 most dissatisfied.
“ 31 to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined. They have a strong wish to make a difference. 32 Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax,” said Sun.
The students have different 33 backgrounds. But home and places where friends gather are the favorite places all teens seek happiness.

Do you remember last summer, when angry travelers were urging the government to do something about airline customer service? Airlines 36 to improve, and they adopted (采用) new standards just before Christmas. 37 as another summer nears, plenty of 38 travelers don’t see much improvement in customer 39 overall.
This month, the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) office will publish its first critical 40 on whether airlines are 41 their promises. One survey suggests problems: the number of 42 to the DOT about the top 10 airlines in the first 43 rose 89% from a year ago .
Hit last summer by passenger complaints and the threat (威慑) of consumer-protection laws by the 44 _, 14 airlines 45 to adopt a set of basic customer-service standards called Customers First . The “12 promises” to passengers were introduced 46 a major effort to improve service. Since then, airlines have been redesigning websites , retraining employees and upgrading technology
Recently, DOT inspector general Kenneth Mead, at McCain’s request, sent 20 examiners to airports to 47 whether each airline is doing what it promised. Mead warns travelers shouldn’t 48 too much. Most of the promises are 49 better communication with customers , not problems with flights .
“Passengers should show more understanding to airlines about their 50 to better air service.” Spokeswoman Shelly Sassoon says. “And when 51 are made, it takes a long time for them to be noticed,” she says.
Now, the efforts may be working. During the first quarter, Delta had the second-lowest rate of complaints among the 52 10 carriers. 53 , its rate, along with other carriers’, is up from last year. McCain and other lawmakers say there may be a 54 to pass new consumer-protection 55 .

Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten 41 users has already been 42 because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to 43 lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while 44 , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a 45 path while trying to 46 in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens 47 up instructions to avoid stepping on 48 colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five 49 because they were so busy with their phones.
“In 50 life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is 51
to go unnoticed by people 52 and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the 53
of phones to make texting on the move 54 . That could 55 easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is 56 people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57 a lot of people in business are 58 to carry a mobile phone and be in 59 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls 60 , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.
The requirements for high school graduation have j
ust changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma（文凭）. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a 39 about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many 40 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 41 their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 42 responsibility, problem-so
lving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers 43 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 44 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） point out problems with the new requirement. First, they 45 that ,because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 
46 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 47 goes against the law.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 48 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 49 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 50 to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.
