28、e not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway. Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器)。Dont leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on durin
29、g the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off. If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a nei
30、ghbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home. Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they dont know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break i

36、 York in seven years. Ive been in prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?” Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic
37、 when I said Id just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my bosss house. A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle of George Washingt
38、on Bridgea $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Dont worry. Take a new job.” One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up e
39、very time. My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received. “Lets go across the park.” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000.” “$25,000?” He asked. “Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?” “No, man. I work 8 hours and I dont make almost $70. If I can do
40、 that, I do it too.” As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank. “Hey, theres another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?” “No, I cant wait. Pay me now.” His reluctance may have something to do with moneytaxi drivers think the rate for waiting tim

Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, bu
57、t you have designed them as part of your curriculum. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual. Each
58、person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone elses. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these l
59、essons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life. As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others dont have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you dont need to deal with. You may never know
60、 why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; wheth
61、er we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you. The challenge here, therefore , is to align（与保持一致）yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completel
62、y different from others. But, remember, dont compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth. Our sense of fairne
63、ss is the expectation of equitythe assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyones circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his o
64、r her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out the comparing phrase of “its not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on le
65、arning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.71. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized? A. Having the same opinions as others. B. Taking the distinct path from others. C. Learning the lessons presented to you. D. Doing t
66、he different things from others.72. From the passage we can conclude _.A. everyone has his own track to follow B. the same thing usually happen to the peersC. a painful divorce must lie in financial problems D. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage73. In your lifetimes, the lessons you are fa
67、ced with _. A. are beyond your power B. keep you from growth C. limit your development D. help you with your success74. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All things are equal and justice will always prevail. B. You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness. C. One has to fix his mind on u
68、nfairness of circumstances. D. The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school.75. Life is called a full-time school, because _.A. it is full of all lessons to learn B. you have plenty of time to learn lessonsC. you meet with specific lessons every day D. there a
