So boring！What I want to say to you, Charley, is you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient

13、. You should be the same with her, Charley.Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have to work at it together* And have to love three things.

17、 School, we Westerners greeted her every day. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, some of us stopped trying to befriend her.Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret pal. My role

18、was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret pal was.I bought her a small rose arrangement and asked someone to write a message on it and then sent it to her room. She was so touched. Next day I sent a bottle of shampoo but I wrote the message in Eng

I also sent her a fragrant candle.I had brought a few gifts from Ireland when I returned to the Middle East in September. I decided to gift her a silver coloured bangle.Then came the day of the “big re

As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on

25、 the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite norma

26、l at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he look

27、ed at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was n

28、o surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific b

29、lessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who h

30、as given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.1、What made the author interested as well as confused?AThe w

34、ter Isaacson (37)The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into da Vincis contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of his scientific, technological, and creative output. “Leonardo nearly understood almost all of what was known on the planet at the time.

35、 Thats mostly because of his curiosity about every area of natural science and the human experience,” said Gates.The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, by Thi Bui (37)Gates calls this graphic novel “really impressive”. Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fa

36、ll of Saigon, and becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents miserable history. “I was struck by how the experiences Bui illustrates manage to be both universal and specific to their circumstances,” said Gates.Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders (38)Saunders, a long-time short

37、story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt (縈繞) the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincolns son, who died at 11 in real life. “Willies death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief hes creating in other families by

However, by doing some research and using three little words, you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.Firs

43、t, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”, dont press the book button on the we

44、bsite just yet.After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then youre going to drop some magic words. Whil

45、e you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”, your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.If you do

46、 end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them

47、.Just dont wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you m
