Barefoot and dirty,the girl just sat and watched the people go by.She never tried to speak.Many people passed,but never did one person stop.
The next day I decided to go back to the park,curious to see if the little girl would still be there.Right in the very spot as she was yesterday,she sat with the saddest look in her eyes.
Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl.As we all know,a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone.
As I began walking towards her,I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity(畸形).I smiled to let her know it was okay,I was there to help,to talk.I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”.I smiled and she shyly smiled back.We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty.I asked the girl why she was so sad.The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said,“Because I’m different.”
I immediately said “That you are!” and smiled.The little girl acted even sadder.She said,“I know.” She looked at me and smiled.Slowly she stood to her feet,and said,“Really?”
“Yes,dear,you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by.” She nodded her head “yes” and smiled,and with that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye,“I am.I’m your guardian angel.”
I was speechless,sure I was seeing things.She said,“For once you thought of someone other than yourself,my job here is done.”
Immediately I stood to my feet and said,“Wait,so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled,“You’re the only one who could see me,and you believe it in your heart.”…and she was gone.
And with that my life changed dramatically.So,when you think you’re all you have,remember,your angel is always watching over you.Mine is!

The Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, is the best place in Europe for discovering dinosaur bones. Dinosaur Farm Museum was established in 1993. Since then, the museum has introduced the study of old bones to many more people.
What we offer
Visitors can enjoy our displays, or watch us cleaning dinosaur bones and other fossils found on the island’s beaches.
The museum has a variety of different fossils, many of them never displayed to the public before. As more are discovered all the time, you can be sure of seeing something new each time you visit.
We have a free Fossil Identification Service, so you can bring in any fossils you have and find out what they are. In addition, we have a reasonably-priced Museum Shop, where you can buy a souvenir of your visit. You could also bring a picnic and relax in our special picnic area.
Activities
Fossil hunts are organized from the museum and run all year round. Groups of up to 25 are guided on a local beach where they can search for fossils. All these hunts are fully licensed and insured, and guides can help to identify any fossils found and point out things of interest.
Due to the popularity of these hunts, all trips must be booked by a personal visit to Dinosaur Farm Museum.
Did you know…?
The BBC programme “Live from Dinosaur Island” was filmed along the coast here, and Dinosaur Farm Museum was the base for the television crew.
Find out more
Check out our website at www.isleofwight/dinosaurfarm to learn in detail how we dig for dinosaurs. You can also read about the many different kinds of dinosaurs which lived in this area, which was connected to Europe 120 million years ago.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)文章后的要求答題。
[1]We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day,and dinner the most enjoyable.It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family.But what about lunch?
[2]In today's fast-paced society,few people take time to enjoy this midday meal.Most of us just rush right through it.We grab a quick salad,or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers.Sometimes,if there is a deadline around the corner,we just .
[3]The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either.We are constantly troubled by e-mail,social media,and 24-hour news.Even When we do sit down for lunch,we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves.
[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems,and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break.These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift,but it's up to them whether they do so or not.
[5]Frank Partnoy,a former Wall Street trader,says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch.This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society.Writing in The Guardian,Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective.A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box.It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context.If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues,we are more likely to slow down,something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain.
[6]Despite these benefits,some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch.Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult:Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal.
1.What's the purpose of the text?
2.Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 2 with proper words.
3.Many developed countries have issued labor laws in order to .
4.List three benefits of taking long lunch breaks.
①
②
③
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
