Finally, in 2004, t celebrate my 60th birthday, I went t Tanzania t experience a safari(游猎)and climb Munt Kilimanjar, the highest muntain in Africa. Seated next t me n the flight was Tanzania's minister f water and wildlife develpment. We talked fr thusands f miles, and he arranged fr me t visit a schl. When I tured the schl, I was shcked. The leaky(漏的)rfs turned the dirt flrs int mud during the rainy seasn, and the walls culdn't keep ut the heat, cld r bugs (小昆虫).The schl was in need f all material gds, but the kids pssessed great human spirit.
It brke my heart that these children had t struggle t survive, s I asked the headmaster what it wuld cst t feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he tld me.

D篇
We spend a full third f ur lives waiting. But where are we ding all f this waiting, and what des it mean t an impatient sciety like urs? T understand the issue, let’s take a lk at three types f “waits”.
The very purest frm f waiting is the Watched-Pt Wait. It is withut dubt the mst annying f all. Take filling up the kitchen sink as an example. There is abslutely nthing yu can d while this is ging n but keep bth eyes fixed n the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away frm the bdy and wanders abut until the water runs ver the edge f the cunter and nt yur scks. This makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cusin t the Watched-Pt Wait is the Frced Wait. This ne requires a bit f discipline. Prperly preparing packaged ndle sup requires a Freed Wait. Directins are very specific. “Bring three cups f water t bil, add mix, simmer (炖) fr three minutes, remve frm heat, let stand fr five minutes." I have my dubts that anyne has actually fllwed the prcedures strictly. After all, Frced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the mst pwerful type f waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type f wait is unusual in that it is fr the mst part vluntary, Unlike the Frced Wait, which is als vluntary, waiting fr yur lucky break des nt necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning ne's life int a waiting game requires faith and hpe, and is strictly fr the ptimists amng us. On the surface it seems as ridiculus(荒谬的)as fllwing the directins n sup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves thse wh are willing t d it. As lng as ne desn't cme t rely n it, wishing fr a few gd things never hurts anybdy.
We certainly d spend a gd deal f ur time waiting. The next time yu’re standing at the sink waiting fr it t fill while cking ndle sup that yu'll have t eat until a large bag f cash falls ut f the sky, dn't be desperate. Yu're prbably just as busy as the next guy.
( )12. While ding a Watched-Pt Wait, we tend t_______.
A. keep urselves busy
B. get absent-minded
C. grw anxius
D. stay fcused
( )13. What is the difference between the Frced Wait and the Watched-Pt Wait?
A. The Frced Wait requires sme self-cntrl.
B. The Frced Wait makes peple passive.
C. The Watched-Pt Wait needs directins.
D. The Watched-Pt Wait engages bdy and brain.
( )14. What des the authr advise us t d the next time we are waiting?
A. Take it seriusly.
B. Dn’t rely n thers.
C. D smething else.
D. Dn’t lse heart.
( )15. The authr supprts his view by______.
A. explring varius causes f “waits”
B. describing detailed prcesses f waits"
C. analyzing different categries f“waits"
D. revealing frustrating cnsequences f “waits”

It can be reached and maintained by adjusting yurself t yur natural hunger and fullness cues, enjying healthy fds 80% f the time and spiling yurself 20% f the time and taking up exercise that brings yu jy. 17
