When my grandmother was raising me in Stamps,Arkansas,she had a particular routine(惯例)when people who were known to be whiners entered her store. My grandmother would ask the customer,“How are you doing today,Thomas?” The person would reply,“Not so good today, Henderson.You see,it's this summer heat.I just hate it.It just makes me tired.It's almost killing me.”Then my grandmother would stand calmly,her arms folded,and say,“Uh-huh,uh huh.”

As soon as the complainer was out of the store,my grandmother would call me to stand in front of her.Then she would say the same thing she had said at least a thousand times,it seemed to me.“Jane,did you hear what so-and-so complained about?”And I would nod.Grandmother would continue,“Jane,there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night,poor and rich and black and white,but they will never wake again.Those dead people would give anything,anything at all for just five minutes of this weather that person was complaining about.So you watch yourself about complaining,Jane.What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it.If you can't change it,change the way you think about it.Don't complain.”

I have learned a lot from my grandmother.Her opinions always hit the nail on the head.Whining is not only impolite, but can be dangerous.

1.The underlined word “whiners” in Paragraph 1 refers to those people who enter a store regularly.

2. From what the author's grandmother said we can infer that she was against whining.

A 71-year-old man, surnamed Wang, in Northwest China Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous (adj. 自治的) Region who won a lottery jackpot(彩票奖金) of 5 million yuan has donated all of the money to charity. On November 21 when Wang arrived at the lottery complex in Urumqi to receive his prize, he donated the first batch of 500,000 yuan to a charity project. It aims to finance schooling of students in poverty.
“ I donated the money because I want to help others and I am very happy to do something for our society, ” he said. “Too much money means nothing to me. But this money will be very helpful for those in need.”
The old man was a retired worker with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Changji. His pension was only 600 yuan per month, but he said the income from his pension was enough for him.
Wang came to Xinjiang in 1956 from North China’s Henan Province. He had been engaged in farming before retirement. His wife has passed away. Wang revealed he did not tell his only daughter, who lived outside Changji, he had won the prize.
“ My daughter lives in a good condition,” he said. “ I will not leave a single penny to her. Those people that urgently need help deserve the prize.”
Although his pension was merely 600 yuan per month, Wang claimed he never said no to others who wanted to borrow money from him if he could afford it. He began to buy welfare lottery tickets in 2003 when he learned that lottery jackpot would help those in need.

A  Famous University Town

When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it.

   1    The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market places and so on, but most of it is university, colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings(公寓)  2    This was the beginning of the present day college system.

Today there are nearly thirty colleges.    3   Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.

   4    so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the term, you’ll know that you are in a university town.     5   .

A.Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply.

B.Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge,

C.Many students were short of money for their education, so college towns were set up then.

D.A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city.

E. Stop in some safe place, and wait.            

F. The size of Cambridge University is not so big as the town.

G. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the numbers are too great.
