28、ould help them or get them some help. She had the impression that they didnt have anyone else they could call. It seemed as if there was nothing she could do, so she got back into her car and started for home.On the way, she couldnt stop thinking how terrible it must be for these folks who were esse
29、ntially stranded. So she went into Pep Boys, an auto supply store. She called over one of the clerks and asked how much a battery for a Toyota Celica cost.The clerk asked: “What year?” Heidi replied: “Does it matter?” To which he replied that the year of the car mattered because the battery needed t

She paid about40 for the battery, and because she didnt have another to trade in, there was an additional environmental fee of10.She took it to the folks who were, of course, still
31、there. She told them that she just couldnt go home knowing that they had no way home. They were so surprised. Anyone would have been. The older gentleman told her that he had prayed for help. I guess Heidi was the answer to that prayer, he said.Heidi had spent her whole days earnings on the battery.

When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesso
35、n, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldnt read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because sh
36、e couldnt always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was
37、even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt.

42、you love yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and
43、our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yo
44、urself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think.

46、 it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If yo
47、u think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yoursel
48、f of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. Good luck!58. You need to build a positive self-image when you .A. d

Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings ha
52、ve had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of
53、smoking, a persons body becomes dependent on the substance. An attempt to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal（脱瘾过程）.American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many pe
54、ople who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes（替代物）. Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.A
55、group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to
56、cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe a
57、nd Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a persons blood. This helps satisfy some peoples desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for people with
58、heart problems.Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just
59、 a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely.Bad effects of smokingMany kinds of disease and a number of other medical (61) are connected with smoking.Difficulty in stopping smokingThe (62) for this is that smokers a
