I would like to share them here.I noticed that when I began my day and remembered that I needed to complete my challenge, I thought: “I have to engage in a kindness act today, ” Immediately I noticed how my body tightened up when thinking about it, particularly the “have” part of it.In my past, generosity and kindness were just a way of being, and not a requirement, so now that it was required for me to join in and then complete a Kindness act, I hated it. Then. I realized that I didnt “have” to do anything, all I “have” to do was just be me, and then Kindness flowed.As I was trying to figure out and plan which act of kindness I was going to perform, I realized that I was looking for bigger actions. Then I remembered the words of Mother Teresa: “We can do no great things, only small things with great love. ” It was then when I began acknowledging the little things as potentially big the smiles, the hellos, the good mornings. These little things can have such a ripple(连锁)effect in peoples life that can essentially contribute to their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others around them.At the gym this morning, I went into the changing room after I passed through a set of glass doors. In the corner of my eyes, I acknowledged somebody behind me going in the same direction, I turned around, headed back towards the door, and opened it for him. With a GREAT Big smile, he said: “Thank you!”My whole behavior changed after that.His whole behavior changed after that.I am truly humbled and honored that for a brief moment I was part of that change.Many Blessings to you All!51.

The writer opened the door for the man behind him in order to _ .A. make him pleased B. complete an act of kindnessC. express his gratitude D. show he is a gentlemanBFor foreigners, entering a public toilet in China can be a horrifying experience. In the 1990s, a third of all complaints to tourism officials in Beijing concerned the design, and the bad smell of public toilets.China has battled smelly toilets for at least 2,000 years. In the Kingdom of Wei (220-265AD), visitors to the palace bathrooms would find boxes to cover their nose and ward off unpleasant smells. Both flushing (冲水)toilets and toilet paper were invented in China, however, only for the use of the emperor.Today Chinese scientists have claimed victory in their battle to improve public restrooms, introducing a bacterial spray that can almost the bad smell. First, a set of six types of bacteria work to break down the smelly compounds and then a perfume made from orange skin lightly scents(使芳香)the air. The “smell-free toilet” study from the Chinese Academy of Science was declared the “ultimate” cure to an “urgent” national issue.“Five scientists have worked on this from 2011 to the beginning of this year,” said Dr Yan Zhiying, a bacteriologist with the academys Chengdu Institute of Biology, adding that they had spent 140,000 on the project.“Some local government officials here visited a sewage (污水) plant and saw that the treatment technology had come from Japan. They wanted a home-grown solution so they asked us to work on it,” he added. “We obtained bacteria from all types of waste from humans, pigs, chicken and ducks, and we tested our compounds one by one,” he said “The smells coming out of public toilets, or trash cans, are made up of more than 160 different compounds,” he explained, adding that their bacteria spray can change and absorb many of them.He boasted that the Chinese formula(配方), which costs only around 5 per litre, has no side effects and can be used to remove any bad smell.55.

Which can we infer after the spray is used in toilets in China?A. People neednt use flushing toilets. B. A perfume is given off in the air.C. Tourists complaints will be reduced. D. Bacteria break down smelly compounds.CFirst lady Michelle Obama accepted her familys African roots in a speech on Wednesday, telling a group of young Africans that the “blood of Africa” runs through her veins (血管)as she urged changing traditional beliefs on the worth of educating women. She said as an African American woman, her discussion with the African youth was “deeply personal.”“The roots of my family tree are in Africa,” the first lady told the cheering crowd. “My husbands father was born and raised in Kenya. Members of our extended family still live there. I have had the pleasure of traveling to Africa many times over the years, including four trips as first lady, and I have brought my mother and my daughters along whenever I can. The blood of Africa runs through my veins, and I care Africa deeply.” Obama said, addressing her listeners as her “brothers” and “sisters.”The White House is making womens empowerment (参政议政)a theme in a Washington African leaders summit next week. Michelle Obama said problems with girls education often stemmed from traditional “attitudes and beliefs” that exist even in the United States and lead to issues such as the gender(性别)pay gap and an under-representation (名额不足)of women in leadership. She said men worldwide needed to “look into their hearts and souls and ask if they truly view women as their equals.”“I am who I am today because of the people in my family, particularly the men in my family, who valued me and invested in me from the day I was born.” Obama said. “And as I grew up, the men who raised me set a high bar for the type of men Id allow into my life which is why I went on to marry a man who had the good sense to fall in love with a woman who was his equal, to treat me as such a man who supports and respects me, and who supports and respects our daughters as well,” Obama said.59.

What Michelle Obama said in the last paragraph is taken as an example to show _ .A. how a woman can get married to a presidentB. how men can regard women as their equalsC. why men should invest in womens educationD. why men should consider women as their equalsDThe virus “Ebola” is named after the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Thats where the virus was discovered in 1976. A person can only get Ebola through direct contact with an infected persons bodily fluids, for example, sweat or spit. Additionally, the virus can get into your body through your eyes and mouth if those areas come into contact with something that contains the bodily fluids of an infected person. Thats why health care workers are supposed to keep themselves completely covered while treating patients.The deadliest Ebola outbreak is spreading fast in Western Africa, taking over 900 lives so far. The health systems in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are severely lacking in resources, and health care workers may not have access to adequate protective clothing when working in rural clinics, where the proper protections are lacking. Since Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia share a border; its easier for people to move from one country to another, increasing the risk for disease spread. Infected people may be kept separate with other people infected with the disease, making this kind of contact easier.The virus has a two-to-21-day incubation(潜伏) period. It is systemic and can move to and affect every part of the body, causing direct damage to organs and internal bleeding. This causes shock, dropping a persons blood pressure and causing multi-system organ failure.For now, all doctors can do is treat the symptoms and provide supportive care like monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing while making sure the patients fluids are supplied. Sometimes patients are given antibiotics(抗生素) to treat other possible infections. The hope is to make the patient pull through the infection so their immune system can eventually clear the virus. The people who survive Ebola have created enough antibodies to kill it. This is harder to achieve in rural health systems in West Africa that are tasked with treating thousands of patients with poor resources.There are several promising drugs and vaccines in develo
