At midnight, Peter was awakened by heavy knocks on the door. He rolled over and looked at his , and it was half past one. “I’m not getting at this time,” he to himself, and rolled over.
Then, a knock followed. “Aren’t you going to it?” said his wife.

at the door. It didn’t take long to the man was drunk.
“Hi, there, ” slurred (嘟囔) the stranger, “Can you give me a push?”
“No, . It’s half past one. I was ,” Peter said and slammed（猛关） the door. He went back to bed and told his wife what had happened.
She said, “That wasn’t very of you. Remember that night we had a in the pouring rain on the way to the kids and you had to knock on a man’s door to get our car
again? What would have happened if he’d told to go away? ”
“But the guy was ,” said Peter.
“It doesn’t matter,” said the wife. “He needs help it would be the Christian thing to help him.”
So Peter went out of bed again, got dressed, and went downstairs. He opened the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere, he shouted, “Hey, do you still want a ?”
And he heard a , “Yeah, please.”

Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had 31 them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After 32 the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves 33 they started the 950-mile journey back.
The journey was unexpectedly 34 and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly 35 . The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had 36 to mark their way home. To make things 37 .

He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him 46 a few more miles, until it was time to put up the 47 for another night.
The following morning, 48 the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be 49 some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out 50 into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions.

I thought my luck had run out at the end of the summer holiday. It was not the 31 of the new term that did it, but the 32 military training. My 33 nightmare(噩梦) had finally come true.
The weather was 34 hot when we were training. Sweat dropped from every part of my body. I 35 as if my mouth was going to catch fire. 36 was the only thing I could think about. It was the first time in my life that I have ever really felt 37 .
However, we had to stand completely 38 all day. The drill-master(教官) were very strict with us. They only 39 us to sit directly on the ground for a few minutes. My heels ached and I had a blister(水泡) on my 40 .
Believe me, this was not the most 41 part. What I couldn’t 42 most of all was the smell of the toilets. It left such a deep impression on me that I can almost smell it right now.I guess most of the other students 43 the same experience that I had. I often thought of giving up and going back home. 44 , I didn’t.
One day, our PE teacher came to watch our 45 for a while. Then he 46 to join the national flag squad(队). “You movement is the best of all,” he praised me. It was so 47 ! I almost couldn’t believe my ears. It was a great honor to be chosen for the squad.
From that day on, I worked much harder than before because I knew I was going to 48 the national flag. Every Monday, thousands of eyes would be 49 on me. Now military training has finished and I have become a flag protector in my school. Every time I raise the flag, I know all my hard work has 50 .

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 1 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 2 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) makes up about 50% of what we really 3 . And body language is particularly 4 when we attempt to communicate across cultures (文化). Indeed, what is called body language is so 5 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 6 , different societies treat the 7 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 8 contact (接触) even with friends, certainly not with 9 .
People from Latin American countries, 10 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in 11 , it may look like a Latino is 12 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 13 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 14 -which the Latino will in return regard as 15 _ .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 16 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 17 cultures, there’s a strong possibility of 18 . But whatever the situation, the best 19 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 20 _.

I still remember father spent plenty of time teaching me how to pronounce a word, how to understand something that I saw for the first time and how to be polite to others. And I will never 31 one sentence my father used to say to me, “I love you, son. Say you love me, son.” 32 , I would scream, “I love you, Dad.”
When I was growing up, I found that I had little in 33 with my father gradually. Sometimes we often argued about something sharply and then the argument changed into a 34 . I knew there was a gap between us. I didn’t 35 hearing the words “I love you” from my father the last time. To tell you the truth, I couldn’t honestly remember 36 I had last said those words to him, either.
Now father was in hospital. The doctor said it was 37 and he needed an operation at once, 38 he wasn’t sure whether my father was able to 39 it. Everything in my childhood 40 in my mind. Then I called and said, “Dad, I love you!”
There was a 41 at the other end and he replied coldly, “Well, I love you, too!”
I 42 and said, “Dad, I know you love me, and when you are 43 , I know you will say what you want to say.”
Fifteen minutes later my mother called and 44 asked, “Paul, is everything OK?”
A few weeks later I was working when I received my father’s call. “Paul, I love you.” I was so 45 that my tears rolled down my cheeks. Perhaps both of us 46 that this special moment had 47 our relationship to a new level.
A short while after this special moment, my father finally narrowly 48 death following the heart operation. I can’t 49 that if I didn’t take the first 50 and Dad did not survive the surgery, what kind of life I would lead now.
