一、
Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly approaching, he came to me with an unusual 1 : instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.
I was 2 for such an idea. Giving instead of taking for the birthday was really difficult. I asked him how he could come up with such a 3 idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had inspired him. So we started to 4 creative things we could do.
Our university employed some security guards to 5 its students. They have to work 6 , keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it's a thankless job as most people grow 7 to seeing the guards all around and eventually barely notice their 8 , let alone acknowledge their efforts. How could we show them our appreciation
We decided to make a large pot of hot 9 . We hired a Uber and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the 10 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The Uber driver was 11 a bit doubtful to the entire plan but after a while he was helping us 12 the guards and our lively spirit had 13 to him as well. We were met with many 14 and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a 15 act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone's spirit.

Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor cars 1 a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 2 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of 3 precious seconds in handling tasks.
All these save time, but at a cost. When we lose or 4 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag (时差). Our bodies feel that they have been 5 behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 6 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers: too much use may transmit harmful 7 into our brains.
However, how do we 8 the time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find it 9 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 10 . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 11 to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation (耕作) of the 12 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is much that we might envy about a 13 of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 14 . Modern machines have 15 people from that primitive existence.

You really have to focus on the one reason that’s most important and ___11___ to you.

Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He referred to the ___13___ of these people as "Type T", with the "T" standing for "thrill".
Speaking to the LA Times about the "Type T" personalities, Farley said, "They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die."

More and more young women want to look beautiful. Young women's desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 1 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa(神经性厌食症).

So far, many dolphins worldwide have been captured and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially kids. These dolphins are fed with fish instead of having to 1 them.
