21、When you feel sad, tears will come down from your eyes. When you are happy, especially when you laugh hard, tears will also come down from your eyes. But tears have a more important job than showing your feelings.

Tears keep your eyes clean and healthy. They wash away dirt and germs(细菌) just like bath. Your eyes also need tears to keep them wet. And eyes must be wet so that they can move smoothly. Your eyes are busy looking here and there all day long. They move quickly from one thing to another. If you didn’t have tears, your eyes couldn’t move, and soon you would be blind.

Maybe you don’t like tears, but your eyes can’t do without them.

22、My grandfather often complains (抱怨)about how fast things have changed, and says that life used to be better. Families are not families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife are having problems with their marriage, they don't stay together any more. Mothers used to stay at home to take care of their children, but not anymore now. Everyone's working. No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks anymore. Everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. And in school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore. They use calculators(计算器). Most families have computers now. In the old days, we didn't have computers. We didn't even have electricity. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now fewer people eat home-cooked food. And people don't talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think... Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore.

23、How to say hello in Japanese depends on (取决于) when you say it. This is very much like different greetings in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether (是否) you are on the phone or you are close to the person you are greeting. We don’t get formal (正式) with our friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning” or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.

The most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, but it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. Perhaps it is not the most suitable (适当的) word for it. In fact, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon”, and I am sure you wouldn’t like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and Japanese also don’t like to say “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.

Then what should we do? Let’s do it the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu” when it’s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things are different when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar (相似) to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one doesn’t often use “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. One invariably uses the sweet old “Hello”.

Next time, I’ll tell you something about my life in Japan.

【1】How do Japanese people greet each other in the afternoon?

A．By saying “Konbanwa”.

B．By saying “Moshi, Moshi”.

C．By saying “Konnichiwa”.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer?

A．Japanese people are not very friendly to each other,

B．Japanese culture is similar to American culture.

C．People don’t need to be polite to their close friends.

D．Japanese people don’t like using “Konnichiwa” as a greeting for the whole day.

【3】The underlined word “invariably” may mean “________”.

A．likely

B．maybe

C．always

D．sometimes

【4】From the passage we know that the writer ________.

A．is from Britain

B．lived in Japan for some time

25、A beggar was sitting in a train station. In front of him was a bowl full of pencils. An old man passed by and d【1】 a dollar in the bowl. He then got on the t【2】. Before the door closed, something came to his m【3】. He went back to the beggar, t【4】 some pencils and said, “After all, you are a businessman and so am I.” Then he left.

Six months later, the old man went to a party. The beggar was also there in a suit and a tie. The beggar recognized(认出) the old man, went up to him, and said, “You may not recognize me but I r【5】 you.”He then told the old man what had happened that day at the train station. The old man said, “Well, you have made me think of that day. You were begging at that time. What are you doing here in your suit and tie?” The beggar answered, “You may not know what you did for me that day. I【6】 of giving me charity, you treated me with dignity(尊严). You took some pencils and said, ‘After all, you are a businessman and so am I.’ After you left, I asked myself, ‘What am I doing here? Why am I begging?’ Then I d【7】 to do something meaningful(有意义的). I packed my bag, started w【8】 and now here I am. Thank you for g【9】 me back my dignity. That day c【10】 my life.”

This is the magic of dignity in our life.
