About six years ago, I was on a plane next to a talkative woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “Ignore mode”, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself and I knew she was called Helga.
While talking with Helga, I mentioned that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E (Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she thought “there was nothing more important in the world than Kindness.” I was curious why she was so enthusiastic and, as the plane took off, she talked about her last fight to Arizona three years ago. Just as the plane was about to leave for Phoenix, her father’s doctor called to inform her that her dad had suddenly passed away. For the three hour plane ride, she sat in stunned silence around strangers. When she arrived the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried.
And here is the part I’ll never forget about Helga’s story. For two hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and from at the airport. Helga looked at me and said, “Houston, nobody stopped and asked if I was okay that day. Not a single person. It was that day that I realized Kindness Isn’t Normal.”
Kindness Isn’t Normal. That has stuck with me all these years — especially now that I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness and love. I’m reminded all the time that, we spend so much time worrying about our problems and our lives that we walk by or ignore people in need of kindness every day. I’m often so worried about ME that I’m really bad at taking care of YOU.
So, I’ve made it my duty to do my part in making Kindness Normal. I share stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and compassion. I provide young people with practical ways to exercise Kindness (they don’t always know what it looks like!).
1.If you go into “ignore mode” you ______.
A.pay no attention to others B.introduce yourself voluntarily
C.refuse to answer any questions D.start talking with other people
2.Why did Helga cry at the airport?
A.She knew that her father died. B.She felt sick after a long flight
C.She was surrounded by strangers. D.She arrived at a completely new city.
3.Helga’s story helps the author to_______.
A.teach more people in need B.set up the organization R.A.K.E.
C.pay more attention to his problem D.realize the present situation of kindness
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Kind Woman B.Ways to Be Kind
C.Welcome to R.A.K.E. D.Make Kindness Normal

Something strange happened when I was 14 years old. Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!
During the dinner time, I left, hiding in the guest room and cried. My mom came to see what was wrong. “No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend for one day because that’s what they’re supposed to do!”
After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not. She said Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because we don’t always get to see loved ones and eat a good meal. Then she left.
I didn’t listen to her, thinking that every holiday was a lie and I could never find joy celebrating again. But giving in to my starving stomach, I went back to the dining room in a few minutes. I couldn’t believe what I saw. My entire extended family was waiting for me with wide smiles and concerned looks, and the table was loaded with untouched plates.
“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’t eat without you. We’re waiting for your turn. Now you can start it.” I didn’t know what to say first. Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.
The family shared, and everyone had something beautiful to say. Listening to what they said, I suddenly understood what my mom meant about finding out my own reason for celebrating. For me, this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.
And with that, I took a huge and satisfying bite of food.
1.Why did the author hide himself and cry on the Thanksgiving Day?
A.Because he got up too late.
B.Because he thought the dinner was tasteless.
C.Because he thought his family didn’t show real thankfulness.
D.Because some of his family were absent from the celebration.
2.What can we know about the author’s mother according to the text?
A.She was strict with her son.
B.She was very understanding.
C.She felt disappointed in the author.
D.She showed great worry about the author.
3.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Making a wish. B.Having dinner.
C.Giving a performance. D.Expressing thankfulness.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Love and lies B.My loving mother
C.An unforgettable dinner D.An inspiring Thanksgiving

Small talk is stressful for even the most easy-going people. 1. Below, small-talk experts share their best advice on developing good chatting skills.
Ask questions.
The key to good small talk is asking the other person a lot of questions. But avoid rapid-fire questions. 2. Be sure to express your own feelings in response to what they share.
Avoid conversation starters like “How have you been?”
You could not ask a more awkward question. A better way to produce meaningful conversation is to add “What is new in your life since the last time I saw you?
Avoid one-word answers.
3. When someone asks you a question, give them something to talk about with you, not a word or two. Fine said, if someone asks you, “How was your summer?”, you can answer, for instance. My summer was great. I’m excited about my vegetable garden. That will give the person something else to ask you about.
4.
Your facial expression and body language should let the other person know you’re truly listening to them. A recent study showed that people who used hand or head gestures received responses to their questions faster than those who didn’t.
Small talk may help you connect with someone new with whom you want to have a more serious talk. 5.
A.You don’t have to be a reporter.
B.Don’t worry about it too much, though.
C.You could not ask a more inconvenient question.
D.It’s the first step to any meaningful relationship.
E.Use your hands to keep the conversation flowing.
F.Don’t be a disappointing person in a conversation.
G.You should make a conversation with people you like.

Dear John,
My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.
I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself "no more negativity" as you taught readers in your blog.
Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say "good morning" to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.
One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate （热情的） about it, I could make my life fulfilling.
All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction, Take care!
Sincerely ,
Amber
