—Yes，two weeks ago． （   ）

—Up to him． It makes no ________ to me． （   ）

In a class I taught adults． I gave the class an assignment—going to visit someone they loved within the next week and saying，“I love you”．It had to be someone they had 1 said those words to before or at least they hadn't 2those words with for a long time． It didn't sound like a very 3 assignment until I realized that most of the students were over 35 and were 4in the decades when they were taught not to express emotions 5 ． So this was a very threatening assignment for some．

At the beginning of our 6class，I asked if someone wanted to share what 7when he/she told someone he/she loved him/her． I 8 expected one of the women to volunteer，as was usually the 9 ， but this time one of the men raised his hand and said，“Dennis，I was quite angry with you last week 10you gave us this assignment． I didn't feel that I had anyone to say those 11to，and besides，why did you tell us to do something 12？But as I began driving home my conscience started 13 me． It was telling me that I knew exactly who I 14to say “I love you” to． Five years ago，my father and I had a serious disagreement． Since then，we 15 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to meet at Christmas or other family 16 ． But even then，we hardly spoke to each other． Last Tuesday I got home and 17 myself to tell my father I loved him． He was shocked and then burst out 18 ． He said he always loved 19 ． ”

         Hearing his talking，all of the class were 20 deeply．

          I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them in every high street． The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices． You can get things you won't find in the shops any more． The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause, and not into the pockets of profit ­driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods．

          The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam． The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece bad been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物)． They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal． Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK． My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each．

          Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid． Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public． Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open．

          The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work． Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more． What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense． You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment．

Paris in the springtime was, is and always will be, something rather special． Why not experience it for yourself with this excellent break for four days? This attractive city has something to offer everyone and with prices at just £129 it's great value too．

          Your break begins with executive coach (长途公共汽车) transfer (中转)from regional(各地的)pick-up points and travel to Paris is via cross-channel ferry(渡船), arriving at your hotel in the evening． The Ibis is an excellent quality hotel with private facilities in all rooms: satellite TV, radio, telephone and alarm clock． It has a bar and restaurant and is situated about two miles south of Notre Dame．

The following day, the coach takes you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, during which you will see the Eiffel Tower, Champs Ely sees, L'Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, in fact almost every famous landmark you have ever heard of． You then leave Paris and take a short drive to the magnificent Palace of Versailles, the home of Louis XIV． The tour ends mid-afternoon back in Paris where you will have the remainder of the day at your leisure． In the evening there is a “Paris By Night” tour showing you the beautiful buildings with bright lights．

         Day three takes you to Montmartre, perhaps the most picturesque(独特的) quarter of Paris and home of the Sacre Coeur and the Moulin Rouge． In the afternoon you are free to explore this beautiful city as you wish． In the evening you will have the opportunity to visit the best night-club in the city, the splendid Paradis Latin．

On the final day it's back to the UK via channel ferry．
