The western world has always been divided into two types of people—the cool and the uncool. It is a 11 that starts in school. The cool kids are good at sports. They are popular with the opposite sex. They are good-looking and people want to 12 their style. They can do their homework but they don’t make a big effort. That would not be cool.
The 13 kids are in the other corner of the playground. They are very bright, but they don’t have great 14 skills, not popular with the opposite sex and they are 15 at sports. When they are not programming computers or doing calculus (微积分) , they are watching shows like the “X Files”. They are known as the geeks.
But the geeks are taking over. Make friends with them now or they will put virus in your computer and 16 your maths homework to ruin. Geeks might not be popular at school, yet they do pass their examinations. They 17 good degrees, though they might not be too popular at university.
The most important 18 of the 21st century, computers and IT, has been at least partly created by geeks. Geek heroes like Bill Gates 19 others to follow their examples. Being a geek is a way of earning good money. And the creation of the Internet gave them a 20 of their own to work and play in, making them a global force. 21 , the effect of the geeks on popular culture has started a new trend. It is now cool to be 22 . Geek culture is becoming an important part of general popular culture, in which what you 23 is more important than what you look like.
But there are also 24 . Geeks were often bullied (欺侮) or laughed at in school. Now a geek may be your 25 . Perhaps it is time for punishment.

As a young girl growing up in rural Alabama, I never understood why my mom spent so much time baking. And she always made my brother and me 36 her. A whole day every other week was devoted to making bread. It always made our small arms tired.
Despite our best efforts, the flour dust always went everywhere. I 37 to be outside with my playmates, and never 38 my mom’s desire for quality family time with her children, at least when it came to spending it in the 39 . Years have gone by, and I have become a mother myself. I prefer to leave most of the cooking to my husband and he loves it. He’s quite 40 at doing it, too.
On one occasion my husband was 41 dinner, and I was at the kitchen table going through the day’s mail when our little son, Cody, asked if he could help 42 . My husband said yes, and I sat there amused, watching them.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Helping dad cook.” he replied with a big 43 on his face. I thought back to those 44 when my mom asked me to help her bake bread, and I was 45 , but obeyed. Perhaps she was trying to create something more than just fresh bread—maybe a few lasting 46 .
As I watched Cody do it with all his attention, I realized that he had 47 a lasting moment for me, a moment filled with a deep sense of family. I wanted to hold the moment and make it longer, and appreciate the memories my mom had given me years ago in her kitchen.

To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 45 .
Some are the 46 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 47 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 48 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 49 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 50 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more 51 .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 52 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 53 about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 54 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 55 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 56 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 57 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 58 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 59 is based on previous positive experiences.

A man was bitterly envious of his neighbour．He spent long hours in prayer，wanting to be to his neighbour in every aspect of life．
One night，God appeared before him in a dream and said，“I am pleased with your ．Ask for a gift your neighbour will get the same gift in double amount．”
He was glad but sad that his enemy would get a greater gift．He requested，“God， the sight in one of my eyes．”
With his single eye，he peeped at his neighbour but was to see his neighbour's sight was not lost! Confused，he to God，“Why don’t you keep your word?”
God said，“Son，I always keep my word． is not a gift，but a curse．You have the gift of sight in only one eye now，as asked by you．But your neighbour has sight in both of his eyes．I the gift．”
He suddenly from his dream and was sure that it was a message from God．Englightened by the dream，he went to his neighbour and begged his pardon for thinking and acting him．They embraced each other and were good friends thereafter．
