He walked 3 toward the window where I was seated.I tried not to intrude (侵犯) on his 4 , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to 5 knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied.“ 6 me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked.“I am old and she lives much too far away.I have 7 ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.'' May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile.“That is a wish that has been handed down from other 8 .My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he 9 even more.“When we said ‘I wish you enough'', we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then 10 toward me, he shared the following 11 he were reciting it from memory.
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude 12 .I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the 13 joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your 14 .I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you 15 .I wish enough “Hello”s to get you 16 the final “Good-bye.” He then began to sob (哽咽) and walked away.

With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
The majority of eco-hotels fall into several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.
1.According to the passage, which of the following can match the idea of eco-hotel?
A.It is comfortable and fashionable. B.It uses renewable energy.
C.It has walls of glass. D.It is home to endangered species.
2.From the passage, we know the Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that _______.
A.encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities
B.harvests food from its own garden
C.has courses on the environment for its guests
D.protects important habitats
3.From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______.
A.money is the driving force behind eco-hotels
B.the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment
C.eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels
D.eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多途选项。
Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __1__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __2__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __3__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __4__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商)? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __5__
To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A.Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person. |
B.Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships. |
C.Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic. |
D.“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says. |
E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.
F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
G. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
