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.

The guy who tried to edit English
The English vocabulary is not only huge, it is also full of words that mean practically the same thing. Get, obtain, acquire. Shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. 36 That was the thinking of a British writer named C.K. Ogden, who in the 1930s promoted a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 37 Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 38 Because any verbal (动词的) idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators”— words like come, go, take, have, make, be and do — Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal” and forget is “go from memory.”
Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 39 Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that Churchill’s famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears and sweat” to his country wouldn’t have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood, work, eye water and face water, which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words.”
40 Churchill didn’t use it either. When seeking to express ourselves, we don’t necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So it’s our benefit to have a large supply of words on hand. A. Do we really need them all?
B. How many words are there in English? C. Ogden himself didn’t actually use Basic English. D. Plenty of seeming basic words did not make the list at all.
E. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it. F. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn. G. Despite attention from world leaders, Basic English never got as far as expected.

Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible acts of athleticism(运动能力), but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014, and I have 42 two that inspired me.
One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbling(蹒跚而行) along the track, far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis(滑雪板) was broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had a(n) 45 . Wadsworth didn’t want Gafarov to finish slowly, hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 46 . The Canadian skiers were already out of the race, giving Wadsworth two 47 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, or give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski, 48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49 , he came in sixth in the semi-finals. It was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov 50 his Olympic dream.
The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won, 2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines, cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream 52 despite scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriquez 56 . As an athlete, I know it’s easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know
that 58 is just as important as losing and winning.
