18．A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come across in my life．They are totally separated，mixing with （36）A．As they drive past （37）Bthey keep their eyes looking away and make no sign of acknowledgement．The only fame they have is making a nuisance （讨厌的人） of themselves to the local police station by （38）C music played too loud，dogs barking more than once a day and any other petty （39）D gripe （把柄）．
On moving into this neighborhood，I was （40）B of these two but decided I would make up my own mind．This proved quite a （41）A to me as more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my door and blast （猛烈抨击） me with some （42）D or other．
I （43）C answered politely and made sure I （44）A as they went past my place and also made the effort now and then to make a kind remark about their garden or pets．
Time passed and in October，as part of the kindness rock give （送爱心石活动），Maureen and I（45）D to place a kindness rock in their garden．Their （46）B remained unchanged，however，and I continued to be as friendly as possible．During the Easter give，we decided once again to （47）A these two unhappy ladies to our list and left a packet of cookies on their（48）C．Imagine my （49）C when two days later they （50）B at my gate and jokingly said they are considering hanging their Christmas stocking on their gate，and they （51）A me a bunch of flowers!
So，my fellow gifters，do not （52）Don your random gifts of kindness．You may never know just what this （53）B to others，nor how many broken or （54）C hearted people you may just change with a simple act of （55）D．

17．PartⅠstarts with a brief introductory chapter and then takes up Style and Organization，covering them in that order because skill or lack of skill in style affects all writing，while much technical writing is so short as to offer no problems of organization．These chapters are followed by one on Mechanics，covering matters of form that are peculiar（独有） to technical writing or else crop up in it with abnormal frequency．
The chapter on Special Problems，which follows，performs a double function．It provides writing assignments that may be used while the study of style，organization，and mechanics is still under way，and it explains ways of handling certain problems that may arise during the writing of reports，proposals，and other longer forms．We have also expanded the treatment of technical articles-recognizing the potential contribution of article writing to the career of the writer and the value of the article to science and technology．
In PartⅡ，a change of emphasis at one point is reflected in the new title for Chapter 8，Nonformal Reports-Their Variation in Form and Purpose，which was formerly called Special Types of Reports．Though certain special types of reports are still discussed，additional emphasis is given to the fact that there does not exist any universally accepted set of types，under which all reports can be classified．
Two other extensive changes have been made in PartⅡ：The chapter on Proposals，which first appeared in the second edition，has been rewritten and substantially expanded so as to cover that important subject more thoroughly．Also，an entirely new chapter，Oral Presentation of Technical Information，has been added．Though a study of this chapter is no substitute for training in public speaking，we believe that its recommendations can nevertheless be of substantial assistance to those who use this book on the numerous occasions when they will be called upon to present their ideas in person before a small group or a large audience．

102．The passage is most probably a preface toA．
A．a technical writing handbook

  D．a scientific paper
103．In Part I，the writer arranges the chapters in the order ofC．

B．The chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information is rewritten and expanded．
C．The chapter on Proposals is a revised chapter．
D．There is a change of the title of Chapter 8．

16．I moved to this small town at the age of twelve．After getting  （36）B in our new house and starting school，I began to explore the   （37）C area．I was exploring the pond when I discovered the fish．

I went back the next day after school  （43）A  with about six feet of fishing line and a hook borrowed from our elderly neighbor．and half a dozen worms I had  （44）Bout of the garden．We did not own any fishing tool，and  （45）C a city kid，my fishing experience，had （46）A week long visits to my relatives．
I took a shortcut  （47）D  some fallen cedars on my way to the pond．As I was climbing over one tree and ducking under another，I  （48）A  my footing，and my soup can of worms went flying into the air．My  （49）B was only increased when I noticed that my worms had disappeared．
I went to the pond，looked down again，and there they were．I made a few （50）C  to catch them by hand，but I soon realized it was never going to  （51）A．I had been trying to catch them for quite a while without actually even  （52）B   either one．After each attempt，they   （53）C  suddenly go around the pool，then settle back under the log．They could really go  （54）C，but they were just too fast to be caught．I was wet and   （55）D   and it was time to go home．

13．In her outstanding book，"Choose the Happiness Habit"，Pam Golden wrote，"Take the story of two twin brothers for example．One grew up and became an alcoholic （酒鬼），while the other became a successful businessman．When the alcoholic was asked why he became an alcoholic，he replied，"Because my father was a drunk．"However，the successful businessman's answer was also"Because my father was a drunk．"when asked why he succeeded．The same background．The same upbringing （培养）．However，the results were quite different．Why？The reason is that they had different choices．The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last，so they had different experiences．
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to"bad luck"．Have you ever heard the saying"When it rains，it pours"？That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble．So what do you think I got？"RAIN"．More and more"RAIN"．I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me．
Pam Golden says，"You're either living in the problem or you're living in the solution．"Now，when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative （消极的） situation，I use a different way to think about it．I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely．Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution，which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past，and often，I find a solution to the problem soon．It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with．The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience，from which I can benefit．
Now，it doesn't"rain"as much in my life as it used to．In fact，most days are beautiful，cloudless and sunny!Sometimes I do get a rain，but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up．
