I was not quite seventeen when I decided to join the US Army. My mother tried her best to

38me out of my dream, then finally signed the papers that would allow me to be a solider.

One day, nearly two years after the Philippines（菲律宾）became my 39, I was told to go to the office of Lieutenant Colonel（中校）Boyd. He seemed to be a kind man, but I was pretty sure that he hadn’t called me in to 40the time of day.

Standing before his desk, I waited 41as he read through some paperwork. Then he looked up. “Why, Private（二等兵）, haven’t you written to your mother for more than six months?”

I felt weak in my knees. Has it been 42long? I thought.

“I don’t have anything to say, sir.”

Lieutenant Colonel Boyd told me that my mother had got in touch with the American Red Cross, which in turn informed me about that. Then he said, “Go to that desk, and you’ll find some paper and a pen. Sit down right this minute and write to your mother, Private?”

“Yes, sir.”

When I finished a short letter, I stood before him again.

“Private, I’m 43you to find something to say to your mother at least once a week. Do you understand?” I did.

Some thirty-five years later, my 44mother’s mind was not as good as it used to be, and I had to place her in a convalescent home（疗养院）. As I 45 her own things in a big old strong box, I found some letters tied with a bright red ribbon（缎带）.

They were the letters I had 46from the Philippines. I sat on the floor of her room that afternoon reading each one, tears（眼泪）running down my face. I now realized how deeply I, as a 47, had made her worried by my careless thoughts.

The lesson I learned may have been too 48to help my mother, but it’s still 49me good.

These days I don’t need an officer standing over me to write my loved ones on a regular basis（定期）.

BEIJING (AP) – The government is teaching the people “the right way to spit.” A college teaches students the right way to sit. Two years before holding the Olympic Games, people across Beijing are on an all – out drive to mind their behavior.

Visitors are often surprised to see people in China spit phlegm onto the ground.

Changing all that before the 2008 Summer Games is “important in providing a cultural and historical legacy to the world for China,” said Beijing city official Zhang Huiguang.

“We will work with newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, the Internet and mobile telephones to teach people the right way to spit, said Zhang.

Zhang said her office is organizing a “behavioral training” activity that teaches people to line up for buses and turning off mobile phones during meetings.

But spitting is the most serious problem. “You have to spit into a piece of paper or a bag, and then put it into a dustbin,” she explained.

Zhang said her office has organized a small group of volunteers who are going to Beijing’s streets to hand out small “spit bags”.

“Public spitters already face fines up to 50 yuan (about $ 7 Cdn),” Zhang said.

Others are taking a softer way.

Lu – chin was born near Beijing, married an American and spent 10 years in the U.S. She said her heart sank when she and her family returned to live in her homeland and she saw the spitting, littering and cutting in line. It caused her to start the Pride Institute, a private group that showing the great pleasure of being more polite.

“I’m trying to wake up a sense of decency. I know it’s there. I saw our beautiful scenery covered with plastic bags. Sometimes I think I’m the first one to see this and say, ‘Why do you treat our country like a dustbin?’ I’m just trying to wake them up and show them they can stop the bad behavior.”

Still others are trying to improve things in a far more traditional way.

“All of China is looking forward to the Olympics,” said Zhang Hui, head of training at the Beijing Courtesy College.

“It’s really important to improve courtesy before the Games”, Zhang said.

“Everyone knows how to walk, stand and sit,” she said. “But we reach them how to do it in a good way.”

That means things like sitting, back straight, on the “front one - third” of a chair, she said, “Women sit with their knees and feet together. Men may sit with their feet slightly apart. If you cross your legs, you keep the toe of your lifted foot pointing downward.”

“Every day we teach the students about Confucius and Laozi. Every country has a basis for its culture.” she said. “Confucius and Laozi are our country’s basis.”

57. Besides（除了）Zhang Huiguang’s way to change people’s bad behavior, how many other ways have been mentioned in the passage?

A. Two　　B. Three　　C. Four　　D. Five

58. What has Zhang Huiguang’s office done to teach people good behavior?

A. They have given spitters 50 yuan’s fine.

B. They have provided a cultural and historical legacy to the world.

C. They have sent volunteers to the streets to give people spit bags.

D. They have worked with the media to teach people the right way to spit.

59. Which picture shows the right way to sit?

60. This passage mainly tells us ________________________________.

A. from spitting to sitting, Beijing goes all out to look good for Olympics

B. spitting has really become a serious problem in our country

C. foreigners have criticized（批评）us for our bad behavior

D. Confucius and Laozi are the basis of Chinese culture

现在请听短文，完成15——17小题。

Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from? Here’s what some students have to say about it.

I’m Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. It’s even better if someone else tells you that you’re good at something, too.

When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don’t listen, I sometimes feel sad. Listening shows they care about me.

I’m Jeff. Respect from my family and friends makes me feel the best. I don’t care if I’m the best football player, or I don’t get the highest grade on a test, or don’t succeed at everything I do. I only care that I have tried my best and people respect me for it.

If someone says something unkind about you, but you don’t mind that much because you know they’re wrong – that means you have self-confidence.

I’m Sue. I really feel good when my mom gives me a hug and says, “Have a nice day” before I leave the house. Also, one day in a store I asked a salesman where to find something, and to my surprise, he said, “You have a beautiful smile.” For the rest of the day I was happy. These kinds of things have to come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.

You should remember “You can do it if you think you can.” Believe that no matter who you are, you can build your own self-confidence.
