30．　　A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
　　A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and put them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
　　Soon the hat began to be full of coins. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized (辨认出) his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning?What did you write?"
　　The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
　　What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."
　　Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
　　Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first one simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. However, the second one told people that they were able to enjoy the day. It told them they were lucky and they were not blind.
　　There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
　　The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help whenever you can.
　　The second is:Think differently. There is always a better way!

I said to my husband, "Please tell her mother that the girl can sing as she likes. We don't (5)       it at all. '
　　From that day on, I no longer thought the girl did anything (6)       and even got used to her singing.
　　The next year, I left home on business. My husband called me that the girl died. I returned home in late summer. I sat at home and felt something wanting. Suddenly, I realized that I could never hear the next﹣door girl sing.

32．　　Welcome to your future life!Believe me. It is full of w(1)      things!
　　You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is young-looking. Many people could live to be over 100, so you are not old at all. You can just have an anti-aging (抗衰老的) pill. Now, you look younger!
　　In 2035, "magic clothes" have particles (粒子) and we can ask these particles to do many things, so it is not surprising that the clothes can even change c(2)      in a short time. You only need to say to your shirt, "Turn red. " It can turn from blue to red.
　　You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that has i(3)      about the milk, and it knows the milk is not fresh. In 2035, every kind of food in the shop has such a chip. They will help keep us h(4)      .

33．　　Have you ever recycled?To recycle is to take rubbish and make it into something new. Recycling makes rubbish into something useful, so it is good for our environment. Recycling often helps to clean up the litter that makes our streets dirty.
　　We can recycle all kinds of things. The most common materials like glass, plastic, paper, metals, cloth are all recyclable. Sometimes these things are broken down (降解) to make the same kinds of things. An example of this type of recycling is using paper to make more paper. Rubbish can also be broken down to make completely new things, too!
　　We can recycle some materials forever. Glass is one of them. We use glass things, then break them down and use them again and again. Aluminum cans (铝罐) are one of the most useful recycled metals. We can recycle them again and again. We have recycled nearly 60% of all aluminum can.
　　A family of four can make nearly 2, 000 pounds of rubbish each year. As time goes on, we have fewer places to put all the rubbish in. Recycling is one way to limit (限制) the amount of rubbish we need to put into the land.
　　The next time you throw a can or bottle into the rubbish bin, look to see if there is a recycling sign on the label (标签) or on the bottom.
