I was catching a later flight to St. Louis, then on to Minnesota. A couple of seats in front and the aisle over sat a very pretty lady. She smiled back at me, I smiled at her noticing her pretty dress.

The rest of the flight was uneventful, but as I was getting off the plane I noticed her again standing by the prompters(提示器)seeing what flight she was to take and what gate. I stood beside her looking for my gate, and flight number. I commented to her that I had seen her on the flight and she had on a pretty dress. She said "Thank you", I asked what flight she was taking? She said to "Phoenix". I looked and she had a two-hour layover, I also had a two and a half hours layover and asked her if she would like to go to the cafeteria for something to eat or drink. She said "Sure". We introduced ourselves on the way, and she told me that her name was "Phyllis". I laughed and said "my name is Phyllis also".

As we sat in the booth she began telling me that she had been told she was dying of cancer and had less than 6 months to live. She was on her way to visit her children and grandchildren before she began taking treatment. She then told me that she had never flown before and she had prayed a specific prayer. She was afraid she would get lost at the airport and not be able to find her way to the gate, and didn't know what she was going to do for the two hours she was there. She prayed, that someone would meet her at the gate and stay with her until she left the airport. She then asked me "Are you an Angel God has sent"? No, I assured her I was no angel, but did God use me to answer her prayer? Yes.

How to Be a Good Friend

A good friend, who wouldn’t want one? Ever felt like yours just not good enough but don’t know where to improve?__ 1.___ I used to annoy a lot of my friends before, just for the sake of having fun and from that, I’ve learned how to be a good friend, and stay as a good friend.

Listen.

No one likes being interrupted when they’re talking. So, when someone talks, keep yourself quiet and listen to them, especially if they’re feeling down, you need to be the shoulder for them to cry on. If you have any comment to make, be sure that you word it in a way where you don’t sound too negative.___ 2.__ When you just don't share the same interest or you’re not in the mood to listen to them, politely let them know and ask them to understand.

Always smile.

__3.__ The least you can do is, whenever you see your friends, smile and say hello. That way, if they had a bad day, you can make them feel better with your smile along with your ear, and maybe, you can share something funny to cheer them up.

Don’t ever lie.

Everyone would hate being lied to, especially if it’s by your own friend, so don't lie! It might seem alright to lie occasionally, but once you lose your friend’s trust, you may lose them forever. ___4.____

Keep secrets.

Make sure you can keep a secret. If not, tell your friends straight away you cannot help yourself when it comes to secrets. Otherwise, when you let them tell you about their secrets and you “accidentally” share it with someone else, you’ll have your friends hating you for the rest of your life. __5.____ Secrets are not meant to be shared, so don’t even try.

A.Everyone has their bad days, and it’s unavoidable.

B.And that is something you surely do not want to happen.

C.They’ll probably call you “big mouth”.

D.A few people seem upset at you for being so direct.

E.Otherwise, they may just take it as you are trying to put them down.

F.This same thing happened to a good friend of mine.

G.Well, you’ve come to the right place.

1. From 18－25, according to I.Q. scores；but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age. You are smartest in your 20's; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations(數(shù)學計算). 2. Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain has almost four times as much information as it did at the age of 21.

3. You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49. Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come；over 30，we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we keep our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow.

4. Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak (頂峰)varies with different professions(職業(yè)). Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed his best?known work A Midsummer Night's Dream at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.

Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's—creative people continue to produce work with high quality(質(zhì)量) throughout their lives. 5.

A. When are you most creative ?

B. When are you happiest?

C. When are you smartest?

D. Do you know what I.Q. refers to?

E. But your I.Q. for other tasks goes up.

F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.

G. For the “well?conditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.（限制）
