a safari（东 非 游 猎）and climb Mount Kilimanjaro,the highest mountain in Africa.The person who seated next to me on the flight was Tanzanias Minister of Waterand Wildlife Development.We talked for thousands of miles,and he arranged me to visit a school.When I arrivedat the school,I was shocked.The dirt floors turned into mud during the rainy season,and the walls couldnt keepout the heat,cold or bugs（小 昆 虫）.The school was in need of building materials.It broke my heart that these children had to try hard to survive,so I asked the headmaster how much it wouldcost to feed them.As little as 20 cents per child per day,he told me.Immediately after I got back,I founded（成 立）Kids of Kilimanjaro.Since then weve grown big enough to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 school childrenin Tanzania every day.The free lunch programme has solved an essential（基 本 的）problem the children face.I know good education could really make a difference in these childrens lives.My parents always told methe importance of education.I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students andbusiness people.After attending university I moved to San Francisco,when I was 25 years old.In 1978 I realizedmy American dream when I founded my own company.My success all started with good education.Its amazing that something as simple as a hot lunch can change so many lives.Giving young

veryimportant.Neighbors helped one another build houses,and clear fields.Families depended on one another forfriendship and entertainment.But today in our cities and suburbs,friendly relationship between neighbors is not common.A family maynot even know the other families that live next door to them.We live in an age of machines,and each family mayhave its own car,TV set,and washing machine.People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did.Machines keep people apart in other ways.In our grandparents5 time,women met while they hung out thewashing,and men stopped and talked while they mowed the lawns.Today,they cannot hear anything above thenoise of their power lawn mowers.And women stay inside with their electrical dryers,which help dry theirclothes.Children are inside watching their favorite TV shows.Is the idea of being a good neighbor old-fashioned?In 1965,a power cut hit New York City,and many thousands of people were left helpless.Suddenly,everyone shared the same problem,and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbors.People withcars offered rides to those walking.Other people helped direct traffic.In elevators,people played word games andhelped cheer each other up.In times of trouble,people still depend on one another.As time goes on,people may once again feel thatbeing a good neighbor is important.19.Is friendly relationship between neighbors common in our cities and suburbs?20.What did neighbours do to help each other in early days of history?21.Why do people no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did?22.What

was,I noticed in myself,when I was growing up,and until about a fewyears ago,that I would want to say thank you to someone,I would want to praise them,I would want to take intheir praise of me and Id just stop it.And I asked myself,why?I felt shy.I felt embarrassed.And then myquestion became,am I the only one who does this?So,I decided to make a survey.Im fortunate enough to work in a hospital,so

has to be specific and genuine.I know a woman.Shes good at this.She,once a week,meets with her husband and says,Id really like you to thank me for allthese things I did in the house and with the kids.And he goes,“Oh,this is great,this is great“But does his praisereally work?And a friend of mine,April,who Pve had since kindergarten,thanks her children for doing some cleaning.And she said,“Why wouldnt I thank it,even though theyre supposed to do it?”By the way,will the children bepleased with their mothers thanks?So,be honest about the praise that you need to hear.What do you need to hear?Go home to your familymember-go and ask him/her,what does he/she need?And then help the people around you.Thank you for being here,just showing up and changing the world with your ideas.25.Why

family.Jane White and I became friends at school,and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family,it was always important to place blame（责 备、责 怪）when anything had happened.From thetime we were little,my sister,brothers and I told on（告 发）each other.The Whites,however,didnt worry aboutwho had done what.The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July,the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York.The twoolder sisters,Sarah and Jane were college students,and the youngest,Amy,had recently turned 16.Proud ofhaving a new drivers license,Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.The big sisters shared the driving of Sarahs new car during the first part of the trip,but when they reachedless crowded areas,they let Amy take over.Amy got behind the wheel.She came to a crossroads with a stop sign.No one would ever know whether she was nervous or just didnt see the sign,but Amy didnt stop at thecrossroads and a large truck ran into our car.Jane was killed at once.I was slightly injured.The most difficult thing that I had ever done was to call theWhites to tell them what happened.Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend,I knew that it was far worse forthem to lose a child.When Mr.and Mrs.White arrived at the hospital,they found their two daughters sharing a room.Sarah had afew cuts on her head;Amys leg was broken.They hugged all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing theirdaughters.They wiped away the girls tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐 杖）.To both of their daughters,and especially to Amy,over and over they simply said,5.”I was astonished.No blame.No accusations（控 诉，指 责）.Later,I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.Mr.White said,“Jane is gone and we miss her terribly.Nothing we say or do will bring her back.But Amy has herwhole life ahead of her.How can she lead a happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death?”They were right.Amy graduated from the University and got married several years ago.She is now a motherof two little girls of her own,the older named Jane.37.It was always important to place blame in the writers family,wasnt it?38.Where did the writer and the White sisters plan to go that July?39.When did A
