There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星) . Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20000 light years ago.
Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.
"We have come to the conclusion, based on last week"s satellite landing," Prof. Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth."
"How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.
"For one thing, Earth"s surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive."
"What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?"
"We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned."
"Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?"
"Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth? We don"t know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there."
"Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicates it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer."
"If all you say is true, won"t this set back the flying saucer program several years?"
"Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds(资金)." Profession. Zog replied.

Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular, and unloved.
My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: The teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn"t do it- I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building.
Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor"s office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop.
By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home.
Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference? He was now a success.
That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet, and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being.
Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I"ve made new friends and reconnected with many from my past
The anxiety isn"t completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance.
小题1:The writer"s anxiety attacks were mainly caused by .| A．the high school which he attended | B．the teacher who asked him to walk | | C．the writer himself who was fearful | D．the father who left in his childhood |
小题2:The breakthrough of the writer"s treatment came when________.| A．the mother took him to the doctor | B．the writer read a magazine article | | C．the writer"s pain finally stopped | D．the writer went to college |

小题4:The writer wrote this story to tell us________.| A．anxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment | | B．we shouldn"t keep ourselves away from the outside world | | C．we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance | | D．fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids |

One very cold and rainy night in the winter of 2012, my husband and I were in a fast food restaurant. We were about to begin our meal a man walked in. He was completely from the rain and went into the men"s room.
I watched him go by, then I said to my husband, "That man must have had nothing to eat in a long time." When the man came out of the men"s room, he just himself in a chair, not going anywhere near the food counter. I that he didn"t have any money for food and wanted to dry off for a while.
I just couldn"t eat my food knowing that someone else was sitting only a few tables away. So, I a $20.00 bill from my shopping money to my husband. "Please get him dinner," I said. "We can do with less money this week."
My husband the man and quietly asked if he needed some food. The man at us. "A small cup of coffee would be great," he said. "Thank you so much!" He wasn"t going to take advantage of us, but we that he should have a full meal, which he gratefully(感激地) .
After he the food, he thanked my husband and my husband said, "No. Thank my . She noticed that you were ."
The man asked me, " did you know I haven"t eaten in a long time?" I smiled at him and said nothing , just asking him to the change(零钱) from the $20.00.
Giving others a whenever they’re in trouble not only brings happiness to the ones who it but also to the ones who give it. I am so grateful that I was able to with someone truly in need. It is a little bit of extra warmth on a rainy day.
