A Woman and a Fork

There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months. So as she was getting her things "in order," she   36   her Rabbi (法师）and had him  come to her house to   37   certain aspects of her final wishes.

She told him which songs she wanted sung at the   38  , what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.

Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave   39   the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.

 "There's one more thing," she said   40  . "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."

The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.

“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm   41  by the request," said the Rabbi.

The young woman   42  . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of   43  . 

In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main   44  were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part   45   I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”

So, I just want people to see me there in that casket（棺材）with a fork in my hand and I want them to   46  "What's with the fork?"  47   I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."

The Rabbi's eyes were   48   up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of   49   than he did. She had a better grasp of   50  heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.

She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork   51   in her right  hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he   52  .

During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the   53   he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to   54  . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the   55   and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.

He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1. When you do something wrong , people around you will     .

A. quarrel with you                B. help you correct it

C. do something wrong like you     D. laugh at you

2.What will your friends say when you make great progress?

C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

NEW YORK (AP) — In a report, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 47 percent of U.S. adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine.

That is more than twice the 22 percent of users who did in 2002, but Pew senior research specialist Mary Madden was surprised that the growth wasn’t higher than it had been expected.

　　“Yes it’s doubled, but it’s still the case that there’s a big chunk of Internet users who have never done this simple act of connecting their names with search engines,” she said. “Certainly more and more people have become aware of this, but I don’t know it’s necessarily kept pace with the amount of content we post about ourselves or what others post about us.”

About 60 percent of Internet users said they aren’t worried about the extent of information about themselves online, although they are increasingly concerned over how that data can be used.

Americans under 50 and those with more education and income were more likely to self-Google---in some cases because their jobs demand a certain online persona(形象).

Meanwhile, Pew found that 53 percent of adult Internet users admit to looking up information about someone else, famous people not included.

　　Often, it’s to find someone they’ve lost touch with. But looking up information about friends, relatives, colleagues and neighbors also was common.

Although men and women equally searched for online information about themselves, women were slightly more likely to look up information about someone they are dating.

　　In many cases, the search is not harmful, done to find someone’s contact information. But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records, such as bankruptcies(破产) and divorce proceedings. A similar number have searched for someone else’s photo.

　　Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to limit the range of people who can see their information at an online hangout like Facebook or News Corp.’s MySpace, contrary to conventional wisdom.

　　“Teens are more comfortable with the applications in some ways, (but) I also think they have their parents and teachers telling them to be very careful about what they post and who they share it with,” Madden said.

1. Mary Madden was surprised at the result that ______.

       A. fewer and fewer adult Internet users are looking for information about themselves

       B. the number of adult Internet users looking for information about themselves has doubled

       C. more adult Internet users should have looked for information about themselves

       D. so many people don’t know how to connect their names with search engines

2.According to the report some people haven’t looked for information about themselves because ______.

       A. they are not rich enough to get a computer

       B. they are not well educated

       C. they don’t know they can look for their own information on the Internet

       D. they think it unnecessary to look for their own information on the Internet

3. Which group of people are more likely to look for their own information on the Internet?

       A. Teens. B. Women.     C. The old.     D. The educated.

4.People look for others’ information on the Internet mainly to ______.

       A. see what they are doing    B. find someone they have lost touch with

       C. have a look at their photos       D. know their personal affairs[来源:Zxxk.Com]
