He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs: “Dont give money to panhandlers(乞丐)” So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasnt prepared for a reply, but with resignation, he said, “ really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. On a frigid, cold night, no less, I assumed(呈现) the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldnt help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches, and charities were there to feed him. Besides, youre not supposed to give money to panhandlers.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Caf, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Beans? Dedicate a row and take it down to Beans. Clean and simple.We didnt keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they book something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And salve for my conscience. （1）Where did the story happen? A . On the way to the hotel in Washington, D.C. B .

You should not be upset(不安的)if your English friends dont invite you home. It doesnt mean they dont like you. Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p. m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. Its polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be very polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But rememberits not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. Youll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then youll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert followed by coffee. Its polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short thank you letter.

As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls.
