3、 told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again.

4、 a lift somewhere . I was fearful that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously(有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.

10、e of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work. It is often said that build
11、ing good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say， when to say it，how to say it，and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involv
12、e more - 3 - decisions to make. From study to work，from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships. Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him o

18、ps - 4 - D. Keys to making relationships work C Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found. Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的)task to another, something thats known to take longer for o
19、lder adults, said the lead researcher, Brian Gold，a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky. Golds team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults，knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However，they found older adults speaking
20、 two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those who didnt. The study only looked at lifelong bilinguals(会说两种语言的人)，defined in the study as people speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old. First，Gold and his team asked 30 people ，either bilingual or
