But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son lost all his goods because of the war. He had to leave home and was forced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiersshoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.“How funny it seems,” he used to say, “even making tacks can make money. My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches.”56. The young man learnt to make shoe tacks because _.A. his father told him to B. he wanted to learn a skillC.

Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in-person.For us, its really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again, he explained. Its about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction (分心) of a phone, and were trying to create an environment where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.Gold said the suggestion reminds him to keep cell phone usage at bay, too. Im guilty(惭愧的) of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, its a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone, he joked.The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has got upset about it.I think once the server approaches the table and theyre presented with the offer, they like the idea of actually talking to each other again. he said.59.

If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crime, drug-taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不稳定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨询) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40-minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.63.

People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someones life as nothingCold can affect other parts of the bodyThe expression get cold feet has nothing to do with cold or your feetThe expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression give someone the cold shoulder probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to faceYou may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to youOr, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone, Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their loversOut in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that. everybody but him got a pay raisehe was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be67.
