Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. Behind these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 101 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.
_102_ is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help his rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about this day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 103 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so _104_ next day.
He was very tired 105 doing this for a whole day,   106 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 107 (high).
His son had been told _108_ this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 109 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 110 (result) in the contrary to our intention.

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the United States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.

The British people either don’t care or are kept in the dark regarding    31   country’s colonization overseas. When you talk to an average Britisher, he doesn’t seem to know   32    about his country’s glorious days as a result of colonization one or two generations ago. When Britain handed over Hong Kong in 1997, the Hong Kong press went to London and tried to get a sense of the popular mood by interviewing students and business people in the streets. Most of them didn’t know    33   handover event took place. Some expressed surprise to hear the question. Some even thought that Britain returned Hong Kong to Japan! For the British people to know: Hong Kong is a big deal    34    it’s a tiny dot on the map. HK was the most successful British colony, maybe the longest   35     ( keep ) too. Certainly, HK   36   ( bring ) a lot of money to the British Treasury, to the business elites, and to a lot of English civil servants who had worked there before. All you need is to look at the HK government    37      ( office ) records, the salary scales of English officials, the subsidized housing they got, and the    38    ( retire ) benefits they enjoyed.

The money was deposited in the British Treasury and major banks. If you are a responsible English citizen, you should ask where the surplus money went, if it didn’t go to  40       ( serve ) the people.

A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Let’s see what you can do.
★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
★ Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.
★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.  Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.
★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.

Topic	How to______ conflicts at work
Reason	Conflicts won't ______ if not dealt with
_____ on handling conflicts	● Don't be afraid of conflicts which are usually _____. ● Interrupt the "waiting game",  try to admit your ______ actively and solve it soon or it will get ______ ● Don’t imagine people do something to make you ______ on purpose. Remember not to ______ others, but ask them nicely about what they do, which may make a difference. ● Try to appreciate the other part in the conflict although it is ______ to do so.
	If you learn to do with conflicts, you'll work in joy.

Every person has a great deal of love to give.     Here is a general guide to loving.
Say it. When you say the words “I Love You”, make sure you really mean it, and are willing to do anything for that special person.
    If you love someone, you should understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well.
Love unconditionally. Giving unconditional love requires you to love without any expectations.    It seems difficult to only love and not demand anything in return in today’s world where everyone is selfish. But even in this world we see many examples of unconditional love, for example the love a mother gives to her child and the love between two life partners. To love unconditionally, you will have to learn to sacrifice(牺牲) yourself and your desires and also realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you.     
Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have.    Don’t make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under unnecessary pressure and will likely result in you losing them.
Never stop loving. Even if you have been hurt before, you should not stop giving love.

A．Try loving just for the sake of love.

B．Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

C．There are many different ways to explain love.

D．Think how lucky you are to have someone to love.

E. Do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
F. It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else’s love.
G. There are many different ways to love someone (or even yourself).

Bicycles are very popular around the world today. People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work. In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities. But who invented the first bicycle?
In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Siverac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mrs. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles(把手) and the seat were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet! Riding a bicycle was a great risk!
In 1817, a German named Baron von Draus de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot, which surprised people at that time.
Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had spaces for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and riders often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.
It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular. More than 100 years later, bicycle riding is more popular than ever. In fact, in India and China, there are still many more bicycles than cars.

Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs; the need to protect patients from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients’ own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroys their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness; help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”
