17、 ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day andmost important sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and

18、 sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, t

19、rying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

21、Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewarts dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962.

25、 biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first. The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile(简介) which can i

26、nclude your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional(可选择的), but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration(注册) fee to use their services. Internet dating makes it

27、 possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code. Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person.

Just as in conventional(传统的) dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the net

29、 may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital(婚姻) status, income, and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating p

30、artners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time.

Romantic loveC Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English l

34、iterature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. Thats when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the

35、experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my f

36、amily, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.

37、ge near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I w

38、ere their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things

39、 that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.46. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the

Then he thinks about the notes in hi

45、s head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
