The next building was only a few
6、feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myse
7、lf, “I wonder why that woman doesnt wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Acro
8、ss the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可见的). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and cri
9、ticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.5“It d

11、age, we can learn_.Aone shouldnt criticize others very oftenBone should often make his windows cleanCone must judge himself before he judges othersDone must look at others through his dirty windows Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing.
12、 Reading should be active, not passive.When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “look at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no
13、 good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest y
14、ou and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all y
15、our friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the q

Whether that is good or bad, we cant real
19、ly say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22,2011,we decided to be green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our e
20、nergy, we had to think of 365 different things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all green things that could
21、 be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we dont need. We hav
22、e given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been chang
23、ed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planets.12Whatmightbethebesttitleforpassage?AGoingGreen. BProtectingPlanet.CKeepingOpen-Minded DCelebratingOurGreenYear.13Itwasdif

Read on these tips to get some
26、 ideas for creating a journal you will cherish.Just do it. a travel journal is not scholarly (学文精深的). 16There are no rules, and no one is grading what you are write. The best way to get going is to get started.Pay attention. Your journal doesnt have to only be about where you go each day. 17Did you
27、meet someone new? Where and when? What did you talk about? Recording observations will make your travel journal colorful?Try to write something every day. Make a habit of writing something every day or at least every other day. 18If you let more time pass, it can be different to remember what you did three or four days ago, especially the brief impressions of those experiences. Your journal will be richer if you keep up with it.19If writing paragraphs doesnt fit either you or your trip, try something else. You
