26、这里应该说对陌生人(stranger)友好。39Asurprising Bimportant Cselfless DnecessaryC此处承接上文,仍是在描述人的美好品质,故selfless“无私的”符合语境。40Ahow Bwhere Cwhat DwhenB此处表示无论一个人在生活中处于何种阶段你都应该尊重他。no matter where在此引导让步状语从句。C 【导学号:52384075】Sometimes,you are stuck in traffic,anxious about getting a job,or stressed about making a deadline
