AOne day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations，all the time thinking that it was lowed (拖走）by cops (巡警). By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本)license. I was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks,There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it.I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.56.

He noticed that the sheep became excited after eating the red “cherries”from a certain plant when they changed pastur es (牧场). He tried it himself, and was soon as overactive as his sheep. Another story relates that a monk happened to discover that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help him stay awake.Another legend gives us the name for coffee, “mocha”. Omar, an Arabian was thrown to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the soup save the group, but the residents of the nearest town, Mocha, took their survival as a religious sign. The plant and its beverage (饮料) were named Mocha to honor this event.Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia, whose inhabitants believed it to be a tasty thing and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. The government forbade transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled (走私)beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, some of those original plants were found still growing fruitfully in the region.Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.60.

The Function of CoffeeDieters who eat meals high in protein might lose a bit more weight than those who get less protein and more carbohydrates (碳水化合物)___all other things being equal, a new analysis of past studies suggests. Researchers found that over an average of 12 weeks, people having a high-protein diet lost about 1.8 extra pounds, and more body fat, than those having a standard-protein diet.Wycherley from the University of South Australia in Adelaide, the lead author on the study says it’s possible that the body may spend more energy and burn more calories while dealing with protein, compared to carbohydrates. Another explanation for the link his team observed is that eating protein helps preserve muscle mass and muscle mass burns more calories, even when the body is resting, than other types of mass. He says people in the studies tend to get protein from a variety of animal and vegetable sources. Vegetable sources of protein include beans.It is not obvious why a higher protein-to-carbohydrate ratio might help people lose more pounds—and one obesity researcher not involved in the new analysis questioned whether the trials were strong enough to make that conclusion. “The studies are generally far too short to tell effect,” Dr. James Levine from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, told Reuters Health in an e-mail. But given the limitations of the present evidence, Levine said, “It makes no real difference which of the weight-loss ways one chooses ”64. According to Wycherley’s analysis, dieters, should take in more ______.A. fatB. carbohydratesC. proteinD. calories65. What can we learn from the studies?A. I t burns more calories to deal with carbohydrates.B. P rotein helps keep muscle mass which burns calories.C. V egetables contain more protein than animals.D. N o more calories are burned while the body is resting.66. What is Levine’s at titude towards the conclusion of the studies?A. D oubtful.B. Supportive.C. Curious.D. Agreeable.In many African countries, the care of orphans has been mainly led by foreign donor organizations. However, Sister Florence has changed all that.
