I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was sociology(社会学). The teacher was really great. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people.

I am a very   1   person and thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after, my husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line, waiting to be    , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to

   3    away, and then even my husband did.

As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor    4    men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was “   5   ”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, “Good day.” as he counted the few    6   he had been holding.

The young lady at the counter(柜台) asked him what they    7  . He said, “Coffee is all Miss.” because that was all they could afford. He just needed to be warm.

Then I really    8    it—the compulsion(冲动) was so great that I almost

   9    out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give    10   two more breakfast meals on two plates.

I then picked up the plates and walked around the counter to the    11   that the men had chosen as a resting place. I put the plates on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s    12   hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:acceptance without condition.

One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was  1  some delicious food in the kitchen .Suddenly, he found that he had run out of  2  . So Nick called to his son, ”Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair (公平)price for it: neither too much   3   too little.”

His son looked   4  . ”I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, why not   5   a bit of money?”

“That would be a very reasonable thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small   6  like ours, ”Nick said.

Nick’s guests, who had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, ”Why would a man sell salt at a    7   price? Because he was in great need of money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would not respect (尊重)the sweat(汗水) and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn’t   8   destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only a very small amount of unfairness (不公平)in the world, but everyone    9  a little , always thinking that it was only small and    10   very important , and look where we have ended up today.”

BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating(漂浮) in zero gravity(重力).

However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show, because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.

    Of course, astronauts can still produce tears(眼泪). But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic(大西洋月刊) in January. Without gravity, tears don’t flow(流动) down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go — they just stick(粘) to your eyes.

    In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, “don’t fall off of your eyes. They just stay there.”

    Besides making your vision(视线) unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s not the case(情况) in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is stinging(刺痛) like crazy,” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.

    Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of(除去) the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe(擦) the tears away. Another choice is to just wait — “When the tears get big enough, they simply break free of the eyes and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.

    There are lots of small things — things like crying — that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp(打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.

    Therefore, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say, “Gravity, you’re the best.”

1. From Paragraphs 2 and 3, we can know that __________.

    A. astronauts are unable to feel sad in space

    B. astronauts produce fewer tears in space

    C. tears produced in space flow down more slowly

    D. tears produced in space don’t flow downward

2. What effect do tears have on astronauts?

    A. They cause physical pain.               B. They bring comfort to them.

    C. They make their vision clearer.        D. They float around and cause trouble.

3. The underlined phrase “take them for granted” in paragraph 7 means __________.

    A. find them important                        B. consider them useless

    C. need them during an emergency              D. fail to notice their presence

4. Paragraph 7 is mainly about __________.

    A. suggestions of how astronauts can stay comfortable in space

    B. other basic things that are difficult to do in space

    C. why burping is impossible in space

    D. things human can’t do without gravity
