9、A A I was an introvert (内向的人) by nature. For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. The key to a sincere smile however, is simple. Its to be excited. But thats the source of the problem. When meeting people, instead of being excited, I often felt
10、upset. But we all know friends are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, whether its job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel comfortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is
11、an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” The smile Im now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers(收银员) or waiters. Im talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. So Ive discovered a trick. And I call this technique(技巧) “Oh, its Jamie!” When I meet
12、someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were still kids. Its no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And its not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well. And the best part, whenever youre friendly to others, they

18、ly only on his other senses. Thats because he is completely blind. When Derek was born, over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emesto dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. U
19、nfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didnt slop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer. At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the wat
20、er and surfing was in his blood, but he didnt actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard.

21、 if he was going to achieve Emestos dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru. Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaiis board-breaking Pipeline

27、not an A-to-A service it is A-to-B,” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the DriveNow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50 for a taxi.

Most of the cars that are stuck in San Franciscos traffic jams (交通阻塞) are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not Drive

Several other carmakers and other
