In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who'd lived those years with us．In fact, we don't have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones close to us —the ones so easily overlooked．If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it．Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world's happiness．
Saying thanks not only brightens someone else's world, it brightens yours．If you're feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others．It may be just the medicine you need．
Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude immediately．In that case don't let embarrassment sink you into silence —speak up the first time you have the chance．
Once a young minister．Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiuti Indians in British Columbia．The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank you．But Brian soon found that these people had exceptional generosity．Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness．They do their thanks．
I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?
Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that transforms people all around us—including ourselves．For no one ever misunderstands the melody of a grateful heart．Its message is universal; its lyrics transcend （超越） all earthly barriers; its music touches the heavens．
53．In the first paragraph the writer mainly encourages us      .
A．never to overlook our close friends in daily life
B．to express our sincere thanks timely to those around us
C．to wait for a proper occasion to show our thanks
D．to increase the world's happiness by saying thanks
54．According to the writer,      could be the best way to prevent ourselves from being left out.
A．seeing a doctor to find the right medicine we need
B．expressing our thanks as much as we can
C．showing others actively we are interested in them
D．speaking up the moment we have the chance
55．Mark Brian's story is mentioned in the passage in order to show the fact that       .
A．the Indians didn't have any words for appreciation
B．the Indians were particularly generous to others
C．Mark Brian's set the Indians an example to show thanks
D．some people may express their thanks through different approaches
56．What message does the writer intend to communicate in the last paragraph?
A．Thanks is of great importance in developing harmonious relationship．
B．One grateful heart is surely to deserve another good one in return．
C．Thankfulness which goes beyond all barriers is universally understood．
D．Human beings would misunderstand each other without appreciation．

Apply to an American College
Earlier, we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world. We also discussed the rules for entering the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed online.
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study, then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you. Be sure to choose more than one. Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.
Some students want to attend a small college. Others want to go to a big university. If a really big university appeals to you, then there are ones like Ohio State. That university in Columbus, Ohio, in the Midwest, has almost fifty-two thousand students. There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.
Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Website. You can pay the application charge online with a credit card. Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online. You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.
Completing a college application can take some time. But answering all the questions is not enough. Another important step is taking admissions tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take.
Colleges and universities also require international students to take the TOEFL — the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series, write to special @ voanews. com.

The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with card. On line, shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet.
Computer hackers have broken down security system and that raises questions about the safety of card-holder information.

And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the website offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand comer of your screen. The website address may also start https://—the extra "s" stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password safe: Most on-line sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.

So wide and varied are the uses of the wheels, in machines and vehicles of all kinds, that it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them.
