This happened several years ago.But it has stuck with me so I wanted to share it.
Every day on my way to work I would buy a newspaper from an elderly gentleman on the corner of the street.He would always smile and say，“Good morning.”His smile always made my day.
Most of the people who sell these papers are homeless or poor and they do it to make a few bucks.One day Charlie wasn't there! Someone else was in his place! This other guy told me Charlie was in the veterans' hospital.
It troubled me all day long.All I could think about was Charlie being alone in the hospital.I never knew he was a veteran who had served our country.I just knew his smile always made my day.
I asked my girlfriend if she would go with me to visit him and she agreed.When I showed up in Charlie's room he began to cry.He told us he had been feeling very lonely and was convinced no one would ever visit him.He said that we were his only visitors.
We told him we were glad to do it and thanked him for all that he had done for others.I never saw Charlie after that，although I heard he moved to California.That was thirty years ago but I haven't forgotten my smiling friend.A big thank­you to those who serve our country and protect us and thank you Charlie，wherever you are!

There are only 24 hours in a day，but people can use the time wisely.In other words,good time management(管理) is important if you want to succeed.
Knowing the importance of daily matters is the first step towards good time management.Write down the things that you want to do and organise them according to their level of importance.The most important thing should be done first. If there are too many things that have to be done in one day,then you have to give up doing something that is less important on your list.
Besides this,you need to spend a specific(特定的)amount of time doing all the activities you have written down and make sure you finish them on time. People often slow down in their work even though they know that time will never wait for them. Make sure you keep to your plan and finish the tasks one by one.Do not try to do too many things at once.
Also, you can group similar activities together and do them one by one.For example, you can group all the tasks you need to do in the office together and do them while you're in office. Do all the tasks that have to be done in one place first, and then move to the next place to do the other tasks.
“The bad news is that time flies.The good news is that you're the pilot.”said Michael Althsuler.Your future is in your hands, so remember to invest(投资)your time wisely from today on.
25. Which of the following things should be done first?

Many years ago mathematics was my enemy.I was afraid of it and I hated it so much that you could not imagine.
Then came a new teacher to our village.On the first day，he entered the classroom with huge steps，reached the blackboard in a few seconds,and wrote his name on the blackboard.Some letters were in higher places and some were in lower places;some were as big as the board itself and some were so small that we had to open our eyes a lot to see them;some were wide enough,but on the other hand some were too thin.
As he turned around,the class suddenly became still and silent,trying to make out what it was.As we read his name, we were all smiling, no laughing out loud.Soon we realized that he had a special and lasting sense of humor and we began to learn mathematics in a relaxed and happy mood(心情)．
As for my mathematics study, the barriers(障碍)began to turn into pieces, and the fear began to disappear slowly.What was dark and colorless suddenly became exciting, challenging, interesting and above all simply fun.There was some humor added to every sum(算术)and there was fun in every problem.
Thanks to this special teacher, math became the most enjoyable subject to me.

People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.And in the 　41　 300 years,there were 　42　 many changes in 　43　 places that now people can　44　 tell（分别） an English person 　45　 an American in the way he or she talks. 
Many old words 　46　 in England but were kept in America.For example,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet”,a “spigot”,or a “tap”.All these words are 　47　 heard in different parts of America,but only “tap” is still common in 　48　.Americans often made up new words or changed old 　49　.“Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 　50　 in England. 
Also,over the last three centuries the English language has 　51　 thousands of new words for things that weren’t known 　52　.And often,American and English people used two 　53　 names for them.A tin can is called “tin” for short in England,but a “can” in America.The word “radio” is 　54　 all over the world,including America.But many English people call it “wireless”.And almost anything having something to do 　55　 cars,railroads,etc.　56　 different names in British and American English. 
But now American and British English may be growing close together.One 　57　 is the large amount of American speeches that British people hear daily in movies,on television,or 　58　 travelers.　59　 this,Americans seem to be influencing the British more or less.So some day,English may even be 　60　 on both sides of the Atlantic.
