  I truly believe in the power of paying it forward and I have always got enjoyment and fulfillment from it.

  Last year, I was waiting at the traffic lights on my way to work   1   my car was hit from behind.After pulling over, a(n)   2   young man admitted his fault and continued to apologize and explain   3   he had not been “in the moment” while driving.He told me that he had just been driven out of the apartment because of his   4   to pay the rent and that his   5   had just run out.I could   6   his true stress, and as he gave me his details and promised to find a way to pay for it, I tried to   7   him and told him not to worry too much.

  When I got to work, my colleagues   8   me to get a quote quickly and were shocked to find that I had not collected his registration details.The same thing happened when I told my sister what had happened and she   9   told me not to let him get away with it.She knew that I had a small amount of money in the bank and was worried that I would not   10   damages(赔偿费).

    11   everyone pressuring me to chase up damages, I was unsure of what to do.I decided to   12   a small second-hand car and reflect on my dilemma(进退两难的窘境).After about four months, it was coming up towards   13   and I started to think about how nervous this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to “sting” him, so I   14   made my decision and sent him this short message:

  “Hi Joe,

  A few weeks back you hit the   15   of my car.I have managed to pick up another car, so I have been able to get   16  .I want to let you know that I am not going to seek any payment from you.If in future you   17   help someone, that would be great.Wish you a wonderful Christmas and hope next year is better.”

  This young man was so   18   , and I felt that finally a weight had been   19   from my shoulders.If only I had trusted my own heart earlier, we both could have been   20   some unnecessary stress!

In recent years, especially during the l960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain (排干, 流失),” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment.For example, according to a report from U.N., between 1962 and l966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad.Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries.Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study.Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home.The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.
  Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing.Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries.The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too.However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on.Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign - born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year.Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.
【小题1】Which of the following is not the reason for “the brain drain”?

A.Good housing.  B.Better research condition.
C.Good job possibility  D.Better chances of study..
【小题2】The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because __________.
A.many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlands
B.they don’t need any foreign scientists now
C.there are fewer and fewer good jobs in the USA
D.the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientists
【小题3】How many American doctors are foreign - born?
A.About half of them.    B More than 20 percent 
C.Several thousand.      D.About 15 percent.
【小题4】Which is the best title for this passage?
A.How to seek a job in the USA.    B.Doctors’ immigration to the USA.
C.A strange case.                  D.The brain drain.
