But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter. __72__ ‎ As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11yearold girl's courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. __73__ ‎ Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.‎ This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her.

Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?‎ ‎“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing.

On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration （集中）of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, 72 .‎ Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of coal and oil is creating a “greenhouse effect” - raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, ‎ ‎ 73 .‎ Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is preventing sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature - a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen though one recent government reports that 74 , if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset（抵消）each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.

Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children．And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because 73 ．‎ ‎ Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of.

Instead, acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.‎ Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve. ___74___ You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated.
