17、 for days. Ive always wanted the best for her. We sent her to a good school, but she wasnt happy there. She left because she wanted to become an actress, so with my connections I got her into a drama school, but she didnt like that either. She worked for a while doing small roles in films, but she m
18、ust have found it boring although she never really said why. She got married a few years ago, her husbands a vet. They must be happy because they work together, and she loves animals.

25、e. But nowadays there are so many different ways of messaging someone that it could spell the death of the traditional text as we know it. Text messaging, or texting, is the art of sending a short, electronic message between two mobile phones or tablets(平板电脑) But in the last few years, messaging in
26、this manner has been on the decline. The rise of smartphones and tablets has seen an increase in the use of instant messaging apps(应用程序)， which offer a cheap alternative to conventional texts. Using wireless internet connections or mobile data networks, people can send limitless numbers of instant m
27、essages to their friends for very little cost. Unlike traditional mobile texts, the user usually only has to pay to download the app once, after which each message they send is free. Web developers soon got the message. Instant messaging apps have become popular all over the world. WhatsApp in Ameri
28、ca and Europe, WeChat in China and KakaoTalk in South Korea are but a few which have attracted hundreds of millions of people, who use the apps to chat to their friends in real time. These apps allow people to send picture messages for free-something which previously was quite costly. Research firm

Instant Message AppsC Being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal de
35、velopment. Its not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one its more importantly about being honest with yourself. Living your life honestly means that youve decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be
36、 relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in dark corners. When youre dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually. Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us.
37、Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome lifes problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals. Youll have no doubt heard expressions such as what goes around, comes around and you get back, what you give out in life and thats very true. If yo
38、u dont live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people youll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and its therefore unavoidable that one day you11 be on the receiving end of someones dishonest actions or words. There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you
39、to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he cant go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isnt going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you
40、 know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, its often better to be economical(经济的) with the truth. You might say that you dont know why John cant go or that you think he has something on that weekend. Of course, this isnt telling the complete truth but you are s
41、paring Pauls feelings on something that wont, after all, have strong influence on Pauls future.36. If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to_.

45、ine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. This study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from peoples direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another. In the study,
46、dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross (in Spanish; the study
47、 was conducted in Argentina). After these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. While many dogs didnt approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food. Other studies of dogs people-watching ability have
48、found dogs are able to tell thedifference between happy and sad faces in their owners. They prefer people who give others food when asked over people who dont give others food. And in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people. So how much do dogs really unders
49、tand about the humans around them? Thats not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didnt preferentially approach the tastier plate afterwa
50、rd. You could say dogs watch for the interaction between two people, not just how a person reacts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face.
