10、r wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death.He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, “Dont ever
11、save anything for a special occasion. Every day youre alive is a special occasion.”Im thinking about his words, and theyve changed the way I live my life. Im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to e
12、njoy, not to suffer. “Someday” and “one of these days” are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If its worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and
13、color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.21.

17、t Is the Meaningful Life like D. Every Day Is a GiftBAfter the work was finally finished, the repairman politely told me, “No charge. Professor Pan! Were friends.” “Id rather pay.” I replied. “If its free I cant afford it!”Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “Were frie
18、nds now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish Id have just paid the 30 Yuan. I owed them in the first place!According to the American “Theres no free lunch”, theres a price for everything, and Im always looking around to
19、 figure out what this means.Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.I mentioned to a peasant friend that I w
20、ished I had a stone mill(磨) to grind flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that hed had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗岩).Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements(纠缠) and
21、just hand over the money. But cash cant compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift friendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo chairs under the trees, drinking tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But pr
22、obably youre right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!And I joined the group. We talked about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now theyre taller than you.
23、How time flies!How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know. They cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, “No charge. Were friends!” I will thank t
24、hem heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English. Ill make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because theres still no free lunch.26. Why did the author insist paying the repairman when he was offered free repairs? A. Because he was an honest man. B. Because he didnt
25、 know the repairman. C. Because he thought it natural to pay for others service. D. Because he didnt want to help others.27.

When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.C. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy their life.D. Finally, the autho
28、r didnt change his mind about what the Chinese do.CA farmer feels very delighted while he is watching his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Floridas weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with the farmers expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year. The farme
29、r was Ed Rawlings.But Ed has to fight against Floridas changeable winter. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Eds entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts. When temperatures drop below freezing(冰点), Ed tries to save his
30、crops by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is s
31、ucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form
