She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasi
11、on.” he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death.He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, “Dont ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day y
12、oure alive is a special occasion.”Im thinking about his words, and theyve changed the way I live my life. Im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. “Someday” and “one of these
13、days” are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If its worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my
14、eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.21.

18、iftBAfter the work was finally finished, the repairman politely told me, “No charge. Professor Pan! Were friends.” “Id rather pay.” I replied. “If its free I cant afford it!”Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “Were friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me t
19、o tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish Id have just paid the 30 Yuan. I owed them in the first place!According to the American “Theres no free lunch”, theres a price for everything, and Im always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbors
20、 have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill(磨) to grind flour for br
21、ead. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that hed had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗岩).Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements(纠缠) and just hand over the money. But cash cant compensat
22、e (补偿) for the greatest gift friendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo chairs under the trees, drinking tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably youre right in saying that, at this moment
23、, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”And I joined the group. We talked about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now theyre taller than you. How time flies!”How life flies. And Chinese are
24、smart enough to share what they know. They cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, “No charge. Were friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking
25、me to tutor them in English. Ill make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because theres still no free lunch.26. Why did the author insist paying the repairman when he was offered free repairs? A. Because he was an honest man. B. Because he didnt know the repairman. C. Because he thought it n
26、atural to pay for others service. D. Because he didnt want to help others.27. The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 3 probably means .A. calculate B. admire C. mix D. understand28.

29、do.CA farmer feels very delighted while he is watching his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Floridas weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with the farmers expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year. The farmer was Ed Rawlings.But Ed has to fight against F
30、loridas changeable winter. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Eds entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts. When temperatures drop below freezing(冰点), Ed tries to save his crops by watering his orange trees. The water f
31、reezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature
32、 at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces some difficulties.
