A
It was late, around 10 p.m. A young lady, named Thea, was waiting at the train station. She was waiting for the last train to arrive, when she heard her phone ring. It was her brother. The line was suddenly cut off when she answered, and the phone did not ring again. The lady waited for a call back, but her phone did not ring. She sat on the bench, holding her phone.
She was definitely uneasy. Her mother was very ill and was in hospital. She was looking around, looking for a phone loading station, but since it was already late, the stalls were already closed. She had no choice but to wait till the train came and wait till she got home.
A young lady in her late 20s approached her. She was very sincere. She asked what was wrong. Thea looked at the stranger’s eyes and said “nothing”. But the other lady was just so sincere and wanted to help.
She took out her cell phone from her shoulder bag and handed it to Thea. The helpful lady said, “Here’s my phone; it has extra loads; you can make a call.”
“Is it OK? ” asked Thea. “Yeah,” she said, looking directly into her eyes. Then Thea, in a very shy manner, slowly dialed a number and talked with someone on the phone. A smile was on her face. “Thank you so much; you took my worries away.” “You are welcome; I am glad that I can give you a hand. ”

Organic(有机的) foods are foods produced according to strict guidelines(准则) set forth by the
government. These guidelines state that organic foods must be produced without modern man-made processes(加工) and materials, such as man-made pesticides(杀虫剂) and chemical fertilizers(化肥).
th
For most of history, almost all foods were organic. However, during the 20 century, the principles(准则) of the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) were applied to agriculture. This led to the development of many man-made processes that were believed to improve farming techniques. In other words, small farms grew larger as the ideas that were used by factories and big business were put into action to grow more food.
Over time, the organic movement started to get back to the old, traditional methods of farming. Those in favor of organic foods believe that man-made chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. They also believe that organic foods are more nutritious(营养的). If you go to the store, you will notice that organic foods may be more expensive than non-organic foods. Are organic foods worth the extra cost? Some people believe they are. Despite the lack of scientific findings to support their thoughts, many people still prefer organic foods because they think they taste better, while others don’t care much about that because they say they haven’t found out the differences.
If you wonder whether you should choose an organic food instead of a non-organic one, the best thing you can do is to try it by yourself and see which you prefer. Although organic foods were once only available in health food stores, you can find them today at most stores. 46. The author wrote the first paragraph in order to ______. A. advise people to live a healthy life B. tell us the meaning of organic foods C. explain the government’s guidelines D. show man-made pesticides are harmful

Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, achievements, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists who have inspired me by their talents and creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I
