閱讀下列短文，根據所讀內容在表格中的空白處填入恰當的單詞。
注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。
Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life．To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes．While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned．
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life．They say that it is a jungle out there．To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy．Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas．In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues．We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct．It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences．
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary．In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then．But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts．
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either．Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite．But I personally think that people should not be too selfish．Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship．
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure．However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others．
Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
| Main comparisons | Contexts |
| ____ are changing | In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first ________． |
| Nowadays, people seem to be more ______about themselves． | |
| _____are changing too． | People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing（謙讓的）． |
| People may strive to achieve their own __ at the price of their coworkers． | |
| The author’s understanding | |

What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual（虛擬的）company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction（拍賣）a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
“We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work，” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.
Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues（同事）used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations （PR）, sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
“They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently（高效地） as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.
“It makes the company more formal，” she said.
The purpose of opening the company is to .
A．earn money for their education fees.
B．spread love and culture with seeds.
C．see whether they can open a company.
D．collect money to open a Hope School.
According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?
A．Communication skills and teamwork 。
B．Creative and critical thinking.
C．Educational back ground.
D．Business theories.
What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph) refer to?
A．Selling seeds.
B．CEO.
C．Every colleague's knowledge.
D．To make her colleagues work efficiently.
We can learn from the passage that____.
A．the company is owned by 20 students.
B．the company is over-night successful.
C．the company sells fresh flowers and old books
D．the company gets much help from other company selling seeds.

The bus route was by the seashore and I was enjoying the breeze (微風) while watching the sea waves. After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them curiously and realized that all the window seats were occupied (占據). They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I occupied another seat and we parted our ways. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.

She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?”
