One day I was walking around in a national-park-when -I-saw a beautiful. tarantula (狼蛛)crossing a path. I just stopped and decided to observe its walking.

Then I stopped their dad. “Wait. This is the last place the tarantula has to live in. Do you really want to kill it ”
“Well, it's dangerous and we have kids here...”
“Why not stand still and let it cross safely Then you can go and admire the rest of the park.”

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read-and-then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book . turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book-will-have-an-adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches-and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book-will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E - mails are then sent. to the Book Crossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea. is for people. not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟) . The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
No one will be surprised to hear that the arts are under fire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that's fun but certainly can't pay the rent. Do we really need art in our lives
It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is a sad fact of life, but it doesn't have to be. 36 For example, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and paysical, con e with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.
37 History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can't tell us how that population at large felt about it, which is where art stops in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worked, because their art has given us such a deep insight into their daily lives
Most of all, we need art in our lives as it gives us a form of self-expression 38 You may not think you talk about your feelings, but you may express them in other ways. Some like to cook or bake, some like to work on machinery, and others may like to paint or draw 39 .
So, do we need art in our lives Many people would say no, but the art they're thinking of is the art you see in galleries 40 It helps those in need, gives people in the future an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form of self-expression.
A. Art also gives us insight into the world.
B. Art doesn't have to be something that everyone understands.
C. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people.
D. Art is much more accessible and is truly needed in everyday life.
E. Being able to talk about our feelings is essential to staying healthy.
F. We use art to express ourselves, showcase talent, and grow as people.
G. Whatever you like to do in your spare time, you're probably creating art.

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My so n didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
