At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasnt laughing.Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“Its not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “Ive been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United StatesHe wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfathers small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众).“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.”“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glassesAlong with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrivedWhen my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.21.

It helps a preschooler: Develop social skillsAs children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop sympathy for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They bee more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate. Build self-confidenceYoung children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.Boost intellectual growthUsing the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a kings castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically. This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on. Practice language skillsKids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and enhance munication skills. Work out fearsPlaying pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesnt seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids let out confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or rivalry (竞争) with a new sibling (兄弟姐妹). To encourage your youngsters imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own. For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures. Readers Digest Young Families offers a beautiful vintage Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner.

Helping them form a good habit of reading story.CA hoarder is someone who is unable or unwilling to throw items away, and the disposal (处理) of items causes them considerable pain. When people hoard a massive amount of objects, it takes over the inhabitable spaces of their home. As the collection grows, they are unable to do simple , quotidian activities such as cooking a meal or watch TV. Sometimes the hoarding is so severe that parts of their homes bee inaccessible. But among the many problems that such behavior brings about, the most significant are the health risks. Once hallways and windows are blocked, hoarders are at the risk of dying in a fire, since they no longer have a clear path of evacuation(疏散). Things that are piled up high can fall on top of the homeowner, or a person trying to climb over a pile of objects can experience a fall. There is also the problem of sanitation(卫生). Areas where food cant be properly cleaned begin to attract insects, and bathrooms that are full of many possessions can no longer be washed. Unfortunately, the serious effect of the problem can bee worse for two reasons. One is that since the behavior progress behind closed doors, people can accumulate collections of objects for years before friends or family members bee aware of the problem. A second reason is that hoarders often dont recognize that they have a problem, and will continue to live in denial until they get professional help. When attempting to make a diagnosis, psychologists dont regard hoarding as a disorder in itself. Instead, its often seen as a symptom of obsessive-pulsive disorder (强迫症), depression, or anxiety. The mental health munity has only recently begun an intensive study of boarding, and more research is needed in order to understand its causes and find effective treatment. 28.

We can infer from the passage that _.A. hoarding is a serious problem that needs concern.B. the main reason of hoarding is the economic burden.C. food preparation bees easier if a person is a hoarder.D. hoarded items cant be piled higher than a persons head.31. The underlined word “quotidian” probably means _. A. abnormal B. ordinary C. skillful D. popularDHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks (象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders-they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung (粪便) of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage. During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.32.
