21、Most people don’t notice I’m polite, which is the point. I am big and look less energetic. Still, every year or so, someone takes me aside and says, “You actually are polite, aren’t you?” I’m always thrilled. They noticed. That’s the thing. Actually, when we talk about politeness, we usually think of please; thank you; I like your hat; etc. All we need to do is to hear, not to notice.
When I was in high school, I read etiquette manuals(礼仪手册). No one noticed my politeness except for one kid. He yelled at me about it. “It’s strange that you are always so polite,” he said. I took that as praise and made a note to hide my politeness further. Real politeness, I believed, was invisible(看不见的). It adapted itself to the situation.
Politeness leaves door open. I’ve met so many people whom, if I had trusted my first impressions, I would never have wanted to meet again. Yet many of them are now great friends. One of those people is my wife. On our first date, she told me in detail that she had an operation to remove a cyst(囊肿) from her body. Of course, it killed the chemistry. But when I walked her home, I told her I’d had a great time. We talked a little after that. I kept everything pleasant and brief. Much later, I learned that she’d been having a very bad day in a very bad year.
People silently suffer from all kinds of terrible things. The good thing about politeness is you can regard these people exactly the same and wait to see what happens. You don’t have to have an opinion. You don’t need to make a judgment.
Last week, my two-year-old son, Abraham met a foreign woman in the playground. Out of curiosity, I suppose, he asked, “What’s your name?” The woman told him. Then he put out his little hand and said, “Nice to meet you!” Everyone laughed and he smiled. He shared with his firmest handshake, like I taught him.

22、Interested in learning a new language but don’t know where to start? Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference.
Rosetta Stone
Price: $ 7.99 per month — $ 199 one-time payment
Number of languages: 28
Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license.
Duolingo
Price: Free — $ 6.99 per month
Number of languages: 36
Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps, and those apps are available for free — which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learn from the very beginning.
Babbel
Price: $ 6.95 per month — $ 12.95 per month
Number of languages: 14
Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment.
Memrise
Price: $ 6.67 per month — $ 119.99 one-time payment (extra 10% off before July)
Number of languages: 16
If you learn best through repetition and flashcards, then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch, but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning.

23、 Greg Kloehn, an artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. He builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.
Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her possessions.
In the mornings, Mr Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.
Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.
Mr Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.

24、 Having hundreds of friends online is no substitute for a handful of close friends in real life. Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online. The number of 'peripheral others', someone connected with online — former classmates and coworkers, for example — had no connection with how satisfied they felt.
Scientists did their study using data from two online surveys conducted on 1,496 people by a non-profit research organization. People taking part in the study revealed their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being. They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbours, and whether they included people who provided services for them in their networks. The number of close friends someone had was the only thing that influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
'Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,' said Dr Bruine, an expert of the study. 'If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.'
In the study, they found older people tended to have smaller social networks. Younger people's were larger but this was mostly made up of 'peripheral others' — not true friends, just people they knew — and did not contribute to their happiness.
Even variations in the number of family members or neighbours somebody spent time with did not affect how happy they were with their social life. Dr Bruine said her research echoed other findings showing people would be happier if a larger proportion of their online friends were actually their friends in reality.
She added, 'Stereotypes of aging tend to paint older adults in many cultures as sad and lonely. But the research shows that older adults' smaller networks didn't weaken social satisfaction and well-being. In fact, older adults tend to report better well-being than younger adults.'
【1】What has a good influence on one's happiness according to the study?
A.Having impersonal networks of friends.
B.Meeting with close friends face to face.
C.Helping familiar coworkers.
D.Keeping in touch with family members online.
【2】What did the 1,496 people taking part in the study have to do?
A.Keep off using the Internet.
B.Show their attitudes to happiness.
C.Reveal their social life thoroughly.
D.Find 'peripheral others' from their friends.
【3】Who is more likely to be attacked by loneliness from the study?
A.Parents living with their children.
B.Older adults with fewer friends online.
C.Those having fewer relatives or neighbours.
D.Young people without friends in reality.
【4】What does the underlined word 'paint' mean in the last paragraph?
A.treat B.draw
C.describe D.criticize
