6、verently. It is a mystery. It cannot be caught like a virus. It cannot be trapped like an animal. When fun comes in on little dancing feet, we probably wont be expecting it.

11、 having fun.BMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dish

12、onestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator （猎食动物） gets close to its nest, the plover leads

13、 the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing.

They watch where others bury the

14、ir food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.

16、again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very

17、softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food. As children, many of us learn the saying You cant fool Mother Nature.

21、 my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those wh

22、o appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They dont get to see this soft side of others often; we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in

23、 them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done i

24、n twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I sa

25、w drivers who wanted to pass. They couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that wa

26、y. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.8The author feels sad sometimes because . .Ahe has a soft heart Bhe relies much on others Csome people fail to see the kindness in

Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we

31、are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Lat
