When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents for those he loved. He had  36  twenty dollars.

  The third Saturday in December, Mark said he had  37  his list and had his money in his  38  . I drove him to a  39  supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went off on his own  40  I waited patiently reading a book at the front of the store. It  41  Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. When he came up to the checkout, the smile on his face was truly  42  . The clerk rang up his purchase as I  43  looked at the other way. Mark kept  44  his budget and  45  into his pocket for his money.  46  was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood  47  the store holding his basket, tears rolling down his cheeks. His whole body was  48  with his sobs. Then a(n)  49  thing happened. A  50  shopping in the store came up to Mark. She knelt down and took him  51  her arms. “You would do me the favor if you let me  52  your money,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful present you could ever give me. I only ask you could  53  . One day, when you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. I know you feel as good about it  54  I do now when you do help other people.” Mark took the money, tried to dry his  55  and ran to the checkout as fast as he could go.

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

    The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

    The most successful students are those who use large college edition(版本) dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context（上下文）. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音節(jié)), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.

US first lady Michelle Obama ranked the world’s most powerful woman in Forbes magazine’s 2010 listing published on October 6.

Kraft Foods CEO Irene Rosenfeld.second . American talk show host Oprah Winfrey was third. German Prime Minister Angela Merkel was the fourth most powerful   woman，US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rounded out (使圓滿) the top five.

This year Forbesthe way it ranked  women. It is now supposedlyless on wealth and power but more on influence.

“They influenced  ， sometimes billions of people，” said Moira Forbes， vice  president and publisher of Forbes Woman.

Forbes said Obama topped the list this year        “she has made the office of first lady her own” while remaining popular.

“She’s also effective： In response to her Let’s Move！ campaignchildhood obesity(肥胖)， companies        Coca-Cola， Kellogg and General Mills have agreed to cut the calorie content of their foods by 2015，” Forbes said.

The Best of Friends

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商議) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. ”I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
