A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, "Dad, because this is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word, the father cried out suddenly, "Oh, Andrew, don't do it now; I'm too busy!"

The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes．Apologicaliy the father said, "You can finish later．"

The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face．That evening the father said, "Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!" But the boy didn't respond．

Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was drowned．His heartbroken father wrote．．．

"If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words, and could be sure that he knows how much my heart is aching．"

Love is not only giving．Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar．If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us, because there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little boy．

Ray Travers sat back at the large desk, and looked around his plush（豪华的）office.  He was tired

Ray's eyes stopped at a painting on the wall.  It was a gift given by an old friend，Bull，as a farewell gift when he left his hometown  He recalled the life spent in that small town; pleasant times.  The many hours he spent talking to his good friend, and the tales he was told about hunting in the Africa of old.

Memories flowed back more than ten years;  he remembered how he enjoyed hearing about the wonderful hunting，and how he wished he could have shared those times.

Ray opened his desk drawer and brought out a wooden box. He opened the lid and exposed a work of art，a hand-made hunting knife.  This was a gift from Bull，given to Ray more than 20 years ago.  It was one of the first knives Bull had made, and Ray had called it "Zambezi"，the river where Bull had been so many times.

He closed the box and sat upright at his desk；he was driving himself hard, and deserved a break.  Things were going well with the business，everything running smoothly.  He could afford a week off！

He went back home.  A week in the hometown would be like going back in history. "Man, it's going to be good,”Ray said aloud，as he turned onto the highway and watched the city lights fast disappearing，as he looked in the rearview  mirror.  The powerful car going  its way through  the night,  headlights  piercing（穿透）the darkness.  Memories danced through the man's mind.  Memories of good times，when he knew what it was to relax, to talk，and to really visit.

Slowly entering town he looked around.  Ray sat in his car,  looking at the old building，smiling.  Inside it was almost as though it was the same people as 15 years ago.

“I sat-in at a restaurant for six months, and when they finally agreed to serve me, they didn’t have what I wanted”---so went a famous line. In reality, the sit-in movement was not a joke. It began in Greensboro, North Carolina, at 4:30 P. M. , on the afternoon of February 1, 1960. On that day, Ezell Blair Jr. , Joseph McNeil, David Richmond, and Franklin McClain entered an F. W. Woolworth store. They sat down at a segregated（隔离的）lunch counter, ordered coffee, and then refused to leave when told, ‘We don’t serve Negroes. ”

The four young men had expected not to be served. What no one had expected, however, was that they would sit there and politely, but firmly, refuse to leave. This was 1960, and throughout the South black people were not allowed to sit at the same lunch counters with whites, swim at the same beaches, use the same water fountains, or worship at the same churches. Segregation was the law, and it meant separation of the races in every way.

The next day, the four returned to Woolworth’s---this time accompanied by sixteen other students. Again they sat at the lunch counter and requested service. Again they were refused. And again, they declined to leave. On Wednesday, February 3, seventy students filled the Woolworth’s store. This time, the group included white students as well as black. Many brought school books and studied while they waited. By this time, their protest had become known nationwide as a “sit-in”.

On Thursday, there was trouble. An angry group of white teenagers began shoving（推搡） and cursing them but were quickly removed by the police. By February 10, the sit-in movement had spread to five other states.

By September 1961, more than 70,000 people, both black and white, had participated in sit-ins at segregated restaurants and lunch counters, kneel-ins at segregated churches, read-ins at segregated libraries, and swim-ins at segregated pools and beaches. Over 3,600 people had been arrested, and more than 100 students had been driven away. But they were getting results. On June 10, 1964, the U. S Senate passed a major civil rights bill outlawing（宣布为非法）racial discrimination in all public places. President Lyndon Johnson signed it on July 2, and it became law. But the highest credit still goes to the four brave students from North Carolina who first sat-in and waited it out.

1. In this passage, “sit-in” refers to _________.

A. an activity where people sit together and drink coffee freely

B. a bill which outlaws racial discrimination in all public places

C. a form in which people peacefully sit and decline to leave

D. a polite behavior that everyone enjoys

2. Which statement can be concluded from the fifth paragraph in the passage?

A. The sit-in movement was not successful.

B. The sit-in movement had a positive result.

C. Only black people participated in sit-ins.

D. A lot of protesters were arrested, with some students driven away from school

3. What was the purpose of the civil rights bill passed in 1964?

A. The highest credit went to the four brave students.

B. It declared that segregation was a law.

C. The students were allowed to participate in sit-ins.

D. It made racial segregation against the law in all public places.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Segregation was the law in the South.

B. The first sit-in was in 1960.

C. The sit-ins helped to end segregation.

D. The civil rights bill was passed in 1964 by the U. S. Senate.

As a health editor, I spend the majority of my day poring over content related to health. At HuffPost, we're lucky to talk to experts on a daily basis about how to live our best lives. It’s clear that life would be healthier if we would just do the following things. Sure, some of these are easier said than done.

1.Have a bedtime.

Sleep is considered the third pillar(支柱) of health, and for good reason. Research is only making it increasingly clear that not getting enough of the stuff can have serious health effects. Meanwhile, getting enough sleep is good for everything ranging from weight, to mood, to even the immune system. One of the simplest things you can do to ensure you get enough sleep each night is to set a bedtime. Forgive yourself if you can't meet it every night, but make a point to try to stick to it.

2. Cultivate your emotional intelligence

To have emotional intelligence means to be "confident, good at working towards your goals and adaptable. You recover quickly from stress." psychologist Daniel Goleman previously told HuffPost. It's made up of five parts: social skills, empathy, motivation, self-awareness and self-regulation. And fortunately, these are all traits you can cultivate. Be curious about things beyond yourself. Know what you're good at and where you can stand to improve. Try to improve your ability to pay attention.

3.

This is something I'm still working on. I'm an objectively fast person -- fast at walking, fast at eating, fast at talking. This also makes me very impatient, and also sometimes very unobservant -- stopping to smell the roses has never been my strong suit. But slowing down to appreciate life and all its little moments builds gratitude -- and that's a very healthy thing.

4. Find an exercise you actually enjoy

It's not exactly a secret how much I opposite-of-like running. I'll still do it, because of health, but there are certainly other ways I'd rather get my fitness in. And that's completely OK. Research has even shown that whether we think of fitness as "fun" or "exercise" affects how much we end up eating. For me, exercise is a pill best swallowed as volleyball. For you, it may be dancing, or swimming, or riding your bike. Don't think that just because you don't like "conventional" exercise -- running, going to the gym, etc. -- you're "bad at exercise." No such thing!

1. Which of the following has something to do with the immune system?

A. exercise　　 　　　　　　　　　 B. sleep

C. emotional intelligence　　 D. mood

2. What can we infer from the passage?

A. You should set a bedtime and stick to it no matter what happened.

B. Paying attention is not as important as other abilities for emotional intelligence.

C. The writer is no longer a fast person.

D. The exercise the writer likes most is volleyball.

3. Emotional intelligence includes the following except______.

A. confidence　　　 B. motivation

C. stress　　 　　 　 D. self-awareness

4. The best title for the third tip is___________.

A. Feel gratitude to life

B. Stop to smell the roses

C. Lead a simple life

D. Take a time to appreciate your life
