Whether any of my neighbors 60 or not, I trust that an open door and a friendly smile can help build a community. So, wish me good luck and talk to your neighbors! 41. A. held B. repaired C. locked D. broke 42. A. worked out B. gave up C. ended up D. made out 43. A. lift B. club C. room D. sun

Dear Maggie,
I’m writing to tell you the arrangements for our trip to Hainan Island during the summer holiday.
Hainan Island, the world-famous tourist site, is located in the south of China. We will spend our holiday there from August 8 to August 17. We chose Hainan Island for our trip because of its beautiful blue sea and wonderful beaches with its golden sand. We have planned many activities including hiking on the island, surfing in the water, and spending the nights in tents. Please don’t forget to bring your swimming suit and your passports with you. I’m so excited because I’m sure we will have a wonderful holiday on the island.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours, Jack

Training someone to do a job can be harder than doing the work yourself. It’s hard partially because people vary in their approaches to a task. But mostly it’s because people’s working paces and styles are very different.
When I begin to instruct someone, I first give the big picture of the project and where our group fits into it. Next, I set up daily, weekly and monthly agendas and goals. These help new people understand what we need to accomplish by the end of each training section. But people can be so impatient with all this step-by-step training. They get the task and immediately begin to think of the ways to make the process better. I tell them that before they do that, they probably should understand why things are done the way they are.
I’ve learned two important lessons through my experiences in training people. One is that everyone is different; I can’t force others to learn things my way. The second is to leave room for the trainees to grow. Who knows—they might come up with newer and better ideas. Isn’t that
