One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.

I first   36   a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious   37   and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200   38  campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere   39   where he was.

I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel   40  . So I   41   him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”

42   a shaky voice he   43  answered, “Okay, I guess.”

I calmly asked him to join in the activities and   44   some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”

I could   45   that this whole experience was   46   to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to   47  him, either. It was going to take more time and   48  .

The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone,   49   out the window.

That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my   50  about him known. I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him   51   they could.

The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing   52  . He owned the dance floor   53   meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.

In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of   54  every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as   55   as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They think that they are left in the (36)       of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their (37)     children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any (38)      visitors. They live a lonely life without anyone’s care. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth and (39)     story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of such care (40)     elderly people need.

In other words, they all felt that they (47)     do the job better than anyone else. They will do the job heart and soul. A survey was carried out between the caregivers. Social workers (48)      caregivers to find out why they took (49)    the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had (50)      to help their relative. Some (51)      that helping others make them feel more useful and full. Others hoped that by helping (52)      now, they would (53)      care when they became old and (54)      .Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone who might be (55)      .

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun -see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
64. The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. explain how to use the Internet
B. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
65. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former（前者） helps one _________.
A. reach a group of people at a time conveniently
B. keep one’s communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later
66. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Computer: New Technological Advances

The police set out in search of other children who might ______ Guizhou’s dustbins after 5 deaths for warmth.

You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
