Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well．It was pretty　 32　 outside and I had no plans to　 33　 being in the bright sun．She　 34　 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free．I had seen little kids 35　 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt 36 , I decided to help her．

　　 37　 she asked me, “What if we 38　 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and　 39　 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with　 40　 ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n） 41　 with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the　 42　 of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 43　 to do something for others．

　　　 All that seemed 44　 and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to　 45　 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to　 46 others and do something nice in the community!

　　　 I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional　 47 to help clean cars．Passers-by were　 48　 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming　 49　 !

　　　 I feel blessed by being 50　 by such wonderful and loving souls．

One afternoon，the high school boy Clay Jensen received a mysterious package with no return address. When he opened it，he was 36 to find seven tapes，which were 37 by Hannah Baker，his classmate who had committed suicide (自杀）two weeks earlier. Clay had secretly been in love with her but never had the 38 to tell her about it.

On the tapes，Hannah had 39 thirteen reasons for ending her own 40 and Clay was one of the reasons. Hannah had even left him a 41 marking places with dots for him to visit.

Clay walked out of his home and with her voice in his 42；he wandered all over the town trying to uncover the reasons why she felt her life had to end so tragically(悲剧地）．

43 Hannah and Clay's story，American author Jay Asher wove（编织）a sad story of confusion and desperation in novel，Thirteen Reasons Why，which had 44 on The New York Times best-selling list for eight weeks.

As Clay anxiously 45 how he played a part in her suicide，he noticed how a number of little，seemingly unimportant 46 can add up to a terrible high school existence for someone else.

It 47 us all that sometimes when something is said or done to 48 another intentionally, it can have 49 effects and can even lead to other major events in that person’s life.

The theme of the story is that we are all 50 our own actions. Hannah admitted it was her

51 to end her life. However，if someone had 52 differently，she could have changed her decision.

53 it is an imaginary story，many of us will connect parts of Hannah’s high school career with something in our life and may 54 know someone showing warning signs of suicide. And

55 we can act and prevent such a tragedy.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never ending flood of words. In 11 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 12 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 13 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 14 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (不足) 15 in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have 16 meaning until they are put together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 17 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 18 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 19 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 20 　down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 21 reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 22 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 23 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 24 word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically impossible. At first 25 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 　26 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 　27 reading skill greatly improved after some training. 28 Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 　29 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 　30 more reading material in a short period of time.
