[主观题]

When I turned 40, my husband staged a surprise party for me. I should never forget my emot

ion as I entered the restaurant and saw loving friends amid flowers and music and a large display of photographs that spanned my life. I hurried from one table to the next, greeting each guest. Then suddenly at the rear of the room I spotted a gentle, smiling man with snow-white hair and a blue-eyed woman on his side.

"Mom, Dad," I gasped. They had flown to Los Angeles from Chicago just hours before. I burst into tears at the sight of these two who, more than anyone else, had taught me that being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give.

A year later, my husband and I were invited to an unusual wedding. Our friends had been married years before in a civil ceremony, and now they wanted to declare again their commitment to one another in a church service. The morning before the wedding, I decided to call my friend and beg off. "Kathe, this is Karen," I began hesitantly.

"You're coming, aren't you？" She broke in. Her voice was urgent. I paused and in that instant recalled the sight of my parents at my 40th-birthday party.

"Yes, of course," I said, "We'll be there."

So we went. And I was grateful we did. We weren't in our seats a minute before Kathe came up behind us, radiant but with tears in her eyes. She told us how much our presence meant to her, with many of her beloved ones absent.

I see now that one's presence can be a duty in the highest sense. It is, in fact, something that we owe one another, whatever the cost. In gifts of the self, self is renewed.

"Being there" is indeed at the very core of civility.

Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？

A．People's High Sense of Responsibility

B．Presence, the Best Gift We Can Give

C．Peopie's Attitude toward Responsibility

D．How to Show One's Gentle Love

短文翻译（英译汉)When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina I fou

短文翻译(英译汉)

When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I can do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit. Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I ripped off the brown paper wrapper, grabbed the cards and dashed from the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money proclaiming “Mama, all the people couldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.

When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in that dark auditorium listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant, “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler.” I replied. A dream was born.
