A gentleman once advertised（登广告）for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he in a short time chose one, and sent all the other boys away.
   “I should like to know," said a friend, "on what ground yo u chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation（推荐信）with him.
   “You are mistaken,”said the gentleman, "he had a great many: -
   “He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly（井然有序的）．
    "He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was ______ "He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully （恭敬地) ; showing that he was polite.
    "He lifted up the book which I had purposely (故意地) laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.
    "And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest  (谦逊的 ) .
    "When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.
    "Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do; and the things that I can discover a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, is worth more than all the fine  letters  that he can bring.”

    It seems that school children all over the world complain(抱怨) about their school food. What do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries?

Japan
    High schools have dining rooms. They serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and vegetables. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.

United States
    A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one third of the daily amount (总量) of necessary nutrition (营养), such as,  vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium (钙).

Australia
    Meat pies, sausage rolls (香肠卷) and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the country pays more attention  to children's health, healthier foods have started to appear on school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red labeled c标注) foods, including cookies, chocolate and soft drinks. Is served only twice a week. Healthier green labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available every day.

South Africa
     Most of South African schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at l; 30 p. m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
    Fast food and fried food sell the best among students. As a result, it has caused a rise in obesity (肥胖) among children. But as more people began to realize that being too fat may cause  different kinds of serious illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

    We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail (细节) of all the events in her daily life.
    Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory ( HSAM,超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event-which most people would forget with in (在......以内)  days-as if it had happened just minutes ago.
   "I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old,” she said. " That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that every day, what the weather was like and so on.”
    Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly "taste” it.
    However,  sometimes her memories prove (证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. "When I relive （再体验) memories, the feelings return, too,” Rebecca said. "For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee. "
    "At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on, she added.  "1f it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep. "

    Every year, more than nine million people all over the world come to visit London. They go to the museums and theatres; they look at interesting old buildings or have a drink in a park.
    A quick and easy way to get to different places in the city is to take an underground train. The London underground is one of the best and most widely used transport networks（网状组织）in the world.
