We've all been blamed (责备) wrongly sometimes in our lives. How do we deal with it? Not with anger, hurt and tears, but in a collected way…
●If you are wrongly blamed, let others know of the true state of things at once. Do it calmly and clearly — if you lose your temper, people will stop listening or become defensive.
●If you don't find a sympathetic ear, find a person who will hear you out — a teacher, a parent, a friend, or a brother or sister who believes in you.
●If you've been in trouble before, it may be easy for people to doubt you. So win your respect back in their eyes by behaving with honesty.
●If what you are blamed for is something unimportant, sometimes it's better to smile it off.
●If you've been blamed for something serious, it's important to put your side of the story forward quickly and truthfully.
Just remember:
▲Respect your friends' secret if you don't want to be wrongly blamed for making them known.
▲Don't blame others without first getting proof of their wrong doing.
▲Putting the blame on someone else for what you have done wrong is weakness. Admit your mistake quickly.
▲If someone else is wrongly blamed, stand up for that person.
▲Don't pass the responsibility to others.

I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check. I could have used the ATM, but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had, I probably would not have met Harold.
There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up, so I amused myself by watching TV, just waiting my turn. Moments passed. Then, directly in front of me, a tiny elder woman, who was now first in line, started toward one of the counters. But the customer before her didn't finish, so she had to step back. Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly ahead of us. As he was facing the counter, I could see only his white hair and the bright red team jacket. I heard him say to the teller in a deep, strong voice..."Have a Great Day!" and the teller replied, "You too, Harold-see you next week!"
The impatient woman again made her move, heading for the counter. As she passed him, Harold looked up, directly at me, saying, "You are a handsome man, sir." I was so surprised by his statement and struck by the genuine warmth and generosity that filled it that I blurted out "Thank you, sir." instantly reaching out to shake his hand, out even realizing that he was walking with a walking stick. He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm and firm grip. "I really care about you!" He spoke again. Then he reached out to the next person in line and said, "I really care about you, too!"
I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift! He was like a 4-year-old, who walked up to everyone, inviting them to play with him. I wondered to myself afterwards. How was he attained this state of grace? Imagine the warm feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world, touching people for just a moment. He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality that is still rippling outward as you hear and hopefully, some of what Harold so unselfishly pass on to me, that in attempt to pass on to you—I really care about you!
1.What made the author notice Harold?

Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa?”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.
“Mother, you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,”Farah answered.
“Really? And what are the rules?” her mother asked.

Half a century ago, Japan built the world’s first high-speed rail network—a network that remains the gold standard in train travel today. Currently the country is now helping Texas build its own bullet train, a potential game-changer for transportation in the state.
When it launched on October 1, 1964, the world’s first high-speed rail network was known as the “super-express of dreams.” The first line in Japan’s now world-famous shinkansen network was built against all odds, in the face of fierce public opposition, technical difficulties and astronomical costs.
Half a century ago, the system was far humbler. In 1964, the first track was a 320-mile-long link between Tokyo and Osaka that reduced the trip from six-and-a-half hours (on conventional trains) to three hours and 10 minutes, traveling at a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour. For the first time, workers could get to meetings in one city during the day and be back home drinking a beer in the local pub that night.
Not only did the train expand mobility profoundly, but also businesses appeared around the major stops as a growing emphasis on productivity swept across Japan. Today, the shinkansen network has 1,487 miles of track, with more set to open in the coming years. It seems that everything the shinkansen touches turns to city, and regions that are off the beaten track, so to speak, benefit greatly from the economic jumpstart brought by the train. New shinkansen lines are often proceeded by aggressive marketing campaigns promoting tourism in those areas, a strategy that seems to work.
Despite its astronomical costs, it actually has saved more. Today, over 350,000 annual trips transport tens of millions of passengers all over Japan with efficiency—the average delay time is less than a minute. A research report titled 30 Years of High-Speed Railways: Features and Economic and Social Effects of The Shinkansen by Hiroshi Okada, estimates that the economic impact from the shinkansen train network, based on the time saved from faster travel, is approximately ¥500 billion ($4.8 billion USD) per year. Okada stresses that the cultural impact is also significant, a shinkansen offers people living far from urban centers “easy access to concerts, exhibitions, theaters, etc., enabling them to lead fuller lives.”
Japan has a plan, known as the One-Day Travel Initiative. Its goal: regardless of where you are in Japan, it should only take you three hours to get to the nearest major regional city (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo or Fukuoka). The planned impact of this hyper-mobility is to discourage the tide of migration toward urban centers, like Tokyo, and encourage decentralization.
1.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. opposed to traditional belief s B. despite some major barriers
C. based on impractical fantasies D. in spite of poor planning
2.According to Okada, what benefit does a shinkansen bring to people living far from urban centers?
A. Saving more travelling time. B. Creating massive employment.
C. Enjoying a more colorful life. D. Accumulating vast wealth.
3.What is the main purpose of the One-Day Travel Initiative?
A. To promote even distribution of population.
B. To advocate urban lifestyle among migrants.
C. To satisfy the increasing needs of urban centers.
D. To include more citizens in urban centers.
