25、、When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations (计算), a

26、dded up the things again. To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.“Ive made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that.“The money must be paid back,” he de

27、cided.At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.Here is another story of young Lincolns strict honesty.

28、d it out. This was the last sale of the day.The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales (磅秤). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have bee

29、n much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer.

32、ck in this company died. We invite you to join the funeral in the biggest meeting room.” In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of this person. But after a while they started wondering who the dead person was.As more people started coming into the meeting room and getting closer to the cof

33、fin (棺材), the doubt grew. “Who is holding me back? Well, at least he died,” everyone was thinking. One by one the employees got closer. And when they looked inside it, they suddenly became silent. They stood there and couldnt say a word, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their hearts. Th

34、ere was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself or herself.There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU.” You are the only person that can change your life.

She is our Mother Earth.April 22 is Earth Day. The theme（主题）of this year is “Green Cities.” A green city is a healthy and pleasant place fo

40、r people to live. Around the world, many cities and countries have done well to build themselves in a green way.Chicago is well known for its green roof program.

44、ke your name? Scientists say theres a good chance you do.This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found thatour given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight differe

45、nt experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions:whether people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos

46、of peoples faces andguess each persons name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.Whats more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to

47、best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match t

48、heir names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏见) carried by names, includinghow someone should l

49、ook. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence peoples facial appearances,” Zwebner said.The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a nam

50、e for their children.“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.“As parents, it was really difficu

51、lt for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”1One of the purposes of the experiments is to _.Agive the students a chance to know each otherBexplain what influences our facial appearancesCfind out different characteristics carried by different namesDsee if people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face2People could match the faces t
