26、We never knew what Walter was, but we called him an idiot (白痴). We called him that without knowing if he really was as foolish and as stupid as an idiot.

______________. She was interested in people no one else loved. When Grandmother learned about Walter, she told my mother she wanted Walter to bring the food to the house. Mother, of course, was strongly against it. She did not trust Walter. But Grandmother simply said, “Oh poor, you are 42 years old, Sarah.” And then she telephoned the people at the food store and told them to let Walter bring the food.

The first time, Walter came to the house, he told Grandmother he was going to get a girl. Grandmother told him how nice it would be. She said the trouble with young man today is that they do not know how to win a girl’s heart. “You must be honest”, she said. Walter just stood there and listened. Grandmother then told him how her husband won her heart.

Walter and Grandmother became close friends. Every time he came with food, she had a talk ready for him.

Later, she began to read books to Walter. The first book was called “How to dress when you go out with a girl?” The next book told how a young man should act when he meets the girl’s parents.

As time passed, Walter listened harder than before. He never took his eyes off Grandmother as she read. When she smiled, he smiled too. When she was serious, Walter became serious. She read about the problems of early friendship. “How to become better friends and how to decide your girl is the right one to marry.”

Grandmother was almost finished reading one day, when Walter stopped her.

“Mrs. Gorman, I have a girl, a girl like you always talking.”

“Isn’t that wonderful, tell me about her, is she nice?”

“I like her very much.”

“Well, she must be. What’s her name?”

“I forgot. I told her my name was Walter.”

“Would you be kind to her as a gentleman?”

“All the time, I told her the nice thing.”

“I am proud of you, Walter, is she pretty?”

Walter did not answer.

“She must be nice,” Grandmother said. “I hope you comb your hair and wear a coat when you see her. And you must promise me that you will always be a gentleman.”

After that, Grandmother read “How to Choose the Right Wedding Ring and How to be prepared for Marriage?” She seemed to be in a hurry as if Walter might get married before she had finished his education. The next book she read to Walter was “How to love your wife?” Soon after Grandmother finished reading it, she died.

The morning after she died, Mom telephoned the food store and told them not to send Walter any more.

Then one day, I saw him. He looked different. He was wearing a suit, the coat was old, and the trousers had been worn many times. He wore a white shirt and a tie. I waited until he walked up to me, and I walked along with him. “Hello, Walter, do you remember me?” He turned quickly toward me, then smiled as he recognized my face.

We walked a few steps in silence. Suddenly, I had the old feeling that Grandmother was still alive and Walter was still coming to the house. Without thinking, I asked “How is your girl, Walter?” Suddenly, he pulled me close to him and shouted “She is still alive! She is still alive!” His cry was loud and real. He pushed me away from him and I fell to the ground. He ran down the street. As I got off, I could still hear him crying until his voice was lost among the sounds of playing boys.

27、   Why do some people enjoy more health and happiness than others? It seems that they are able to realize their dreams rapidly. The good news is that you can be one of those people. 【1】 Now consider the following habits of exceptionally happy people from my book Find Your Happy.

Make themselves available to success. Happy people are great goal setters. 【2】

This allows them to stand out in different areas of their life. Ask yourself if you are open for opportunities and setting big goals.

Don't use the word luck. When you look at an exceptionally happy person, you may say, "They are so lucky." But a conversation with them will reveal that luck is not in their vocabulary. Instead, they believe that passion and persistence (坚持不懈) equals great results.

【3】 Exceptionally happy people are busy making their goals come true. They understand that spending time arguing with others takes them away from what they care about most. They love hearing people talk about their views, but happy people won't spend time trying to convince you to adopt their beliefs.

Walk out of their comfort zone and seek risk often. 【4】 So they ask for adventure and satisfaction through seeking new experiences. They see risk as growth and are happier because they live a life with no regrets.

【5】 Happy people don't spend a lot of time thinking about happiness. They live in the moment and enjoy the ups and downs of life. Happy people still experience setbacks, but they look at those setbacks as a way to learn more about themselves and to grow. Happiness is not something they seek, as it is a daily practice that never leaves them.

A. Try to be more patient.

B. Don't try to make you win over with debates.

C. Realize there is more to life than being happy.

D. I know this is true from personal experience.

E. They work toward their goals daily and see opportunities in everything.

F. Happy people have learned that settling in any area of life will hold them back.

G. Happiness is available, especially when you understand what happiness is.

28、When leaning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning.

As neuroscientist Brian Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera,” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were simultaneously (同时地) shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, they were supposed to perform the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test.

At the same time, they had a device attached to their heads that sent weak pulses to their primary motor cortex (皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these interfering (干扰) signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the device sent no interfering signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active), they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. This applied to concrete words, such as “camera,” as well as abstract ones, such as “thought”.

“Our results provide evidence for why learning techniques that involve the body’s motor system should be used more often,” says Mathias. “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms. People use it spontaneously (自发地), if they’re good teachers and good listeners. But we don’t necessarily bring it into the class if we don’t think about it.”

【1】What were the subjects required to do in the test?

A．Repeat what other subjects describe.

B．Follow what the person in the video did.

C．Match the vocabulary with relative pictures.

D．Translate the vocabulary into a foreign language.

【2】Why were pulses sent to the subjects’ motor cortex?

A．To control their body movements.

B．To shelter other interfering signals.

C．To identify the function of the motor cortex.

D．To confirm the abstract thoughts in their mind.

【3】What is Brian Mathias’s expectation of the research?

A．It will be carried out more frequently.

B．It will involve more concrete objects.

C．It will be plied to classroom teaching.

D．It will motivate his colleagues to participate.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Good Learning Techniques Matter More

B．Repeating Strengthens Memory

C．Body Language Betters Communication

D．Gestures Help Learn New Words

29、   Kitchens are considered one of the most dangerous areas of a home, for children and for seniors. Many more accidents and falls occur in the kitchen. Keeping the kitchen a safe environment isn’t always easy, but it can be accomplished through a series of steps.

Look at the kitchen with a critical eye and realize that what may seem perfectly harmless to you may be a potential threat to your elderly father. Watch out for dangerous objects that you take for granted. This can mean anything from the cookers to the cleaning supplies stored under the sink. Considering elderly parents, safety is the key issue.

As most caregivers of elderly parents know, it is often very difficult to convince your Mom or Dad to change their habits. However, stress the importance of safety whenever possible. If your parent is suffering from a cognitive disorder, remind him or her not to place canned goods in the microwave or be careful with knives that just doesn’t work. It’s up to you to unplug the microwave and to place the kitchen knives in a secured drawer.

Many caregivers of elderly parents hesitate to make such changes because they are afraid of hurting feelings. However, when compared to the alternative, it's best to be firm and make safety a priority. Nevertheless, ensuring elderly parent safety in the house, not just the kitchen, is important. As many elders develop cognitive issues, it may be difficult for him or her to tell between safe and unsafe.

Ensure that any room in the house, especially the kitchen, has safe access for those using canes and walkers. It’s not an easy task, but with a little planning and a developed course of action, you can help make the kitchen one of the safest areas of the house, and not the other way around.
