I am 26. I'm clear that I'm never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.
Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it's up to us.
I'm single and have no kids. I've flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it's the little things that make a difference.
We're not robots. It's hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn't. I've seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it's like, “It was really nice to help you, but I'm ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can't wait to turn off the flight attendant's voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”
Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you” when you say “thank you”, it's huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We're up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle of the modern flight.

Army veteran (老兵) Curt Payne is a long-time resident of Manchester, New Hampshire. If you happen to run into Payne on the streets of Manchester while he is volunteering, he will most 1 greet you with a friendly smile as he recites his commonly repeated words: "Peace, love, and we're going to be alright."
Back in 2001, Payne, who is often 2 by his nickname "Major", was 3 disabled after a car crash that came very close to taking his 4. These days, Payne 5 countless hours to his volunteer efforts, cleaning up all around the Queen City and making the streets, public parks, and sidewalks a 6 place. "It's the easiest job I've ever done in my life. And it's the most 7," said Payne with regard to the daily 8 he has taken upon himself.
Aside from his 9 nature, volunteer efforts, and overall positive energy, Payne is known among the community for riding around on his 10 bicycle. According to Payne, he rode his bike over 900 miles last year. Payne has always taken good care of his bike because it's his 11 means of transportation.
That's why Payne was so extremely upset and shocked when a bike thief cut his lock outside his apartment and stole his most prized 12. "He doesn't have a 13 ; that's his main set of wheels," said Parker Diamond, a close friend of Payne. The army veteran had no 14 what to do. His bicycle 15 the world to him and now it was gone.
Luckily, word spread about Payne's 16 on social media and good Samaritans began to respond.
Within just a few days, strangers 17 with Payne, offering to replace the bike.
While Payne remains 18 that his cherished bicycle will turn up, he has found comfort knowing that his community 19 and supports him. "There're angels 20 him around," said Diamond.
I had an old neighbor, a doctor named Gibbs. When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees.
Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants damaged them because it made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.
So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees' attention.
Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees I'd watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.
I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Whenever a cold wind blew, my trees trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.

In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, many New York City venues are closed. Here's a selection of art to be found around town.
Jane Freilicher
For more than fifty years, as Abstract Expressionism gave way to Pop, then to Minimalism, and on to Neo-Expressionism, until art's isms (主义) exhausted themselves, Freilicher devoted herself to painting "eternally fixed afternoons", finding beauty at home. The fifteen works in the exhibition at the Kasmin gallery, lead you into the artist's inside.—Andrea K. Scott (kasmingallery.com)
Betye Saar
Two years ago, the Getty Research Institute mentioned Betye Saar as "the conscience (良心) of the art world for over fifty years". The small but abundant exhibition "Betye Saar: Call and Response", at the Morgan Library & Museum, pairs the artist's found-object collection with her less often seen sketchbooks (素描簿).—A. K.S. (themorgan.org)
Frederick Weston
When this black, H. I. V.—positive artist arrived in New York from Detroit, in 1973, he wanted to become a fashion designer. But the city's culture scene at the time was overwhelmingly white, and Weston withdrew into a world that he could control. An exhibition of Weston's work is on view at Ortuzar Projects, which is to remind us that society's best visual critics often fall through the cracks, and to question why it still takes us so long to recognize them.—Hilton Als (ortuzarprojects.com)
Stella Zhong
A raised floor, the color of greenish grey transforms the Chapter gallery into something like a sci-fi stage set or a mini golf course. Zhong, who was born in Shenzhen, China, achieves an effect that is playful and strangely cold. Moving around in the exhibition is rather like living in the space of a video game.—J. F. (chapter-ny.com)

Everyone is familiar with a to⁃do list, but most people don't really understand the (important) of having a list of the things they want to accomplish. Creating a to⁃do list is creating a list of goals. The list tells you what you need to do (achieve）some larger outcome in your life.
A list is a way to break down your life goals into manageable (step）that you can complete in a specific amount of time. In this sense, your list becomes a guide (show) you how to succeed in life.
The way most people start off creating to ⁃ do lists isn't (particular）effective. It is easy to end up with many items aren't important. Developing a talent in creating your lists (be) very beneficial. First, you need to see your list as sacred（神圣的） place. It is there to help you achieve your life goals. It represents items on which you plan to spend part of your valuable and limited time. This doesn't mean you can't put (small) items on the list — like getting groceries. It does mean that you need to make sure you only use your list things that are actually valuable to you.
The airport ________ next year will help promote tourism in this area.
A ． being completed B ． to be completed

Today, due to numerous medical and scientific advances, people are living longer than ever before. But you have to be good to your body, mind, and soul. The following tips are a good start for getting you on your way to living a long and healthy life. Eat a balanced diet -- one that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber and low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. A well-balanced diet can provide your body with the essential nutrients needed to achieve and maintain optimum (最佳的) health.
Be physically active -- try to incorporate 30 minutes of activity into your day, every day. The options are endless; start walking on the beach in the mornings, try jogging with a friend, or go for a bike ride in the afternoons. Make sure you choose activities that you enjoy, that way you'll be more likely to make them a habit. Get regular preventive check-ups --see your doctor regularly; remember your doctor is your partner in health care. By having regular check-ups, you may be able to catch small problems before they become big ones. Be safe -- use common sense and be streetsmart (适应都市生活的). Don't put yourself in situations that are questionable. Always wear your seatbelt and bike helmet. Don't go for a run, walk, or jog at night by yourself. Keep your home well lit and free of things that could make you fall. Stay in touch with family and friends -- get to know your neighbors. Take the time to be involved with your community.

It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life”
Experts say Paris is right. For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”
25. What happened to Paris on a March day?
A. She caught a bad cold. B. She had a sudden heart problem.
C. She was knocked down by a ball. D. She shivered terribly during practice.
26. Why does Paris say she was lucky?
A. She made a worthy friend. B. She recovered from shock.
C. She received immediate CPR. D. She came back on the softball team.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?

C. Warm-hearted and generous. D. Intelligent and professional.
