After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my  1  for greater contact with local students,  2  I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy,  3   and sometimes snobby (势利的) people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After  4    the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to  5    them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my  6    confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the  7    of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and  8    behind my back calling me a weirdo(古怪的人) melted  into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally worked  My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9    and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real   friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and  10   to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my  11    in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your  12    dreams.

It is well known that many of our   ----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of    illness ----are caused at least in part by    to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to     our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is     , families could discover more active pastimes(娱乐).

     free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in       than in a TV program.       report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,       at the college level.    is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour. A different form of reading might also be done     it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the    ends, the TV networks might be forced to    with better shows in order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的).    will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can    childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.

When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of modern, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines.But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be incredibly         to tear them all down and         them with greener versions.
An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.And it would take an average of 65 years for the         carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) __    _ energy-efficient (节能) home to make up for the         lost by destroying an old one.
So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built.But at the same time,          half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our          , offices and other buildings."You can't deal with climate         without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.
With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the         energy-efficient.Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that         over time and let in more outside        .
     ,there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from       ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home.And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help         property owners from rising power        .

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I am so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said,“ Excuse me too… I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very    , this stranger and I. Then we went on our     ways after saying goodbye.
But at home, a       story is told. Later, in the     , as I cooked our meal, my daughter crept up to me, very still. When I turned, I nearly     her down. “Get out of the way!” I        with a frown(皱眉). She left,       her little heart broken.
That  night, as I     awake in bed, God’s quiet     spoke to me and said, “While
      with a stranger, you are     and polite, but with those you love, you are quick and excited… Go look right now on the kitchen floor, you will find some       there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself- pink, yellow, and blue. She stood there quietly, not to      your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her bed,“Wake up, sweetheart, wake up,” I said,“Are these the flowers you picked for me? She smiled, “I found them, out by the tree. I wrapped them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you would like them.     the blue.” I said,” I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that is okay… I still love you     .” I hugged her and said, “ I love you too… And I love my flowers, especially the blue.”
Are you     that: If you die tomorrow, the     that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave     will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we     ourselves more to our work than into our families- an unwise       indeed.
