When I was a child, my mother often told me, “Don’t run around, or bad uncles
will grad（抓住） you. And you know what? You will never see Mum and Dad again.”
“Why, Mama? Why would these uncles grab me?” I would ask. “The city is a dangerous place and we don’t trust any strangers, ”she would reply.
Well, that might answer the question of why my second brother never picks up calls from an unknown person either on his mobile or his home phone. It seems that he doesn’t care if he misses an important call. because he thinks that all unknown calls are from bad persons.
So, have we given too much protection to our young kids? Perhaps it is so. But the adults’ thoughts are indeed easy to understand. The kids meet swindlers sometimes as we adults tell them. Also they get some news about cheating（欺騙） in newspapers or on TV every day. That makes the kids believe that they just cannot trust strangers.
Let’s look at an example from everyday life. Say, if someone carrying a wooden stick（棍子） comes nearer to you, will you try to run away at once even before he or she starts talking to you? Will you guess this person’s intentions（意圖） and think that he or she wants to rob（搶劫） you of something? Think of the answer for yourself.
Of course, the kids should look after themselves, but overprotection can sometimes stop them from making new friends. Sometimes it’s not good for their new friendships.
Trust is like a mirror. When we offer trust to people, they might just show you trust in return.
1 What do “swindlers” probably do?
A. They cheat other people.
B. They often call other people.
C. They rob people of something.
D. They teach children to protect themselves.
2 Which of the following is NOT the reason why children don’t trust strangers?
A. Their parents tell them not to trust strangers.
B. They get to know some news about cheating in newspapers or on TV every day.
C. Strangers always have bad intentions.
D. They sometimes have experiences of being cheated.
3 What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Children should always follow their parents’ advice.
B. We should never talk to strangers.
C. Parents should learn to protect their children.
D. People should try to 
trust each other.
My mother used to ask me, “What is the most important part of the body?” When I was young, I thought 16 was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf but still live a 17 life; keep thinking and I will ask you again.”
Several years 18 before she asked me again. This time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are 19 fast, but the answer is not correct. Many people are blind, but they still live happily.” Over the years, she asked me many times and always her answer was, “No. But you are getting 20 every year, my child.”
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everyone was crying. When it was our turn to 21 our final goodbye to him, my mother asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was 22 when she asked me this. I always thought this was a game between her and me. I saw her eyes with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder (肩膀).” I asked, “Is it because it 23 up my head?” She replied, “No. It is because it can hold the head of a friend or a relative (親戚) when he or she 24 . Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends, so you will 25 have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.” That was when I realized what the most important body part is.

Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office?”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks (路標) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 61 The post office is across from the but stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within (在……之內) miles. So instead of landmards, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles (英里) . 62 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 63
Sometimes if the person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” 64 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can always get lost in Yucanta!
65 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the direction.
A. Turn east, and then go another mile.
B. But one thing will help you everywhere.
C. People there think “I don’t know. ” is not polite.
D. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E. Then he or she will take you through the street of the city to the post office.
