A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Mirrors have a very particular　 __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a　 __37__　 mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__　 do all of the people in our lives.

When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden　 __39__　 a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n)　 __40__　 of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply　 __41__　 into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”.　 __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've　 __43__　 each other for a long time. That feeling can come from　 __44__　 similarities.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll　 __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).　 __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly　 __47__　 about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the　 __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend　 __49__　 time.

Often, when we　 __50__　 qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's　 __51__　 to us.

At times we meet someone　 __52__　 and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.　 __53__　 we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or　 __54__　 to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to　 __55__　 what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

　　Is it possible that the people of the world today could agree upon a single international language that everyone would be able to speak and understand?

　　In the United Nations there are five official languages English, Chinese, Russian, French and Spanish. How about making one of them into an international language? English has been worked on for this purpose. A basic word list of about 850 English words named Basic English was made. These are the only verbs in the entire list:“come, go, give, keep, let, do, put, make, say, be, seem, may, will, have, send”. Writing in Basic English may require you to use a greater number of words——as in having to say“it came to my ears”instead of “I heard”——but you can still say anything you want to with about 850 different words and a few suffixes and prefixes. This is a much smaller number of words to have to memorize than the ordinary number offered to the students of a foreign language.

　　But people have always had a need to do more than simply“tell it as it is”. Language is for reporting not only one's work. For this, a language needs idioms, needs all kinds of grammar and style that reflect its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows. Is there some special reason why our lips should be a different color from our skin? Perhaps not, but this is how people——real people——are. For communication between people, languages in all diversity(各种各样)will remain to reflex the growth and soul of the societies that speak them.

(1)If we write a composition in Basic English, it will be ________.

[　　]

A．longer than usual

B．shorter than usual

D．tell something they like to

(3)This passage begins with a question. According to the writer's opinion, the answer to the question may be“________.”

[　　]

A．It will be possible in the future

B．It seems to be possible if people agree to use Basic English

C．It seems impossible that people can use a simple language to express themselves in various lives

D．It is impossible except that the five official UN languages are used at the same time

B．Basic English seems not to be so easy to learn.

C．Basic English can be used to express our complicated thought easily.
