         Mother's Day and Father's Day are two big national. holidays in many western countries. And it's
    interesting because they are not the same in every country. In England, Mothering Sunday is in March.
    In America and Germany and other countries, it's one Sunday in May. Father's Day is in the middle of
    June. How do you celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day? Let's learn something more about it from
    the following introduction.
            In England, we call Mother's Day Mothering Sunday, because it's always on a
    Sunday. I don't really know the origin of it but I remember that my mother had a
    cup of tea early in the morning. And then we would go to church. And at the end
    of the church service, the children would collect a daffodil (水仙花) and take it
    back and give it to our mother who would normally be sitting in the service in the
    church. And really that's all we did to celebrate the day.
              As Ann said, I remember taking cups of tea to my mother. The idea in general is
    that the washing-up would be done; perhaps some cooking would be done on Mother's
    Day. We would try to relieve her of all those jobs to make it a special day for her, so
    that whenever she looked around, there was something to eat, something to drink, or
    something to read, or something interesting for her to do.

    1. In _____, Mothering Sunday is in March.

    D. China
    2. Ann remembered that her mother _____ in the morning on Mothering Sunday.
    A. had a cup of tea
    B. got up late

         Ever since I was a child, my mouth has caused me trouble. I'm not a bad person; I have a hard time
    learning when to keep my mouth closed.
         My mom has told me again and again, "Robert, your constant bad words are hurting me. If you continue
    to be this rude, you will get into big trouble."
         It's been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn't want to
    hear. I used to feel it was my duty to stand up for myself.
         One day in English class I began working on my homework until I heard a classmate talking behind me.
    It was Nathaniel, talking to himself as usual.
         I said ever so nicely, "Nathaniel, would you be quiet?"
         Nathaniel continued talking to himself. I quickly shouted "Nathaniel, shut up!"
         For the next five minutes, we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other.
         "At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!" I shouted.
         I knew this would upset him deep inside. It would hurt his feelings and shut him up.
         What I said filled him with anger. He tried to reach over my seat and grab me as he shouted,
         "That's it! That's it!"
         Surprised at his reaction, I sat back in my seat. Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before.
         Later on, we were taken to the principal's office.
         There, Mr. Black, the principal, told us to discuss the matter. It wasn't until then that I finally found that
    when I hurt someone physically, the wounds eventually heal. But when I hurt them with my words, sometimes
    the pain (痛苦) never goes away.
         At the end of the discussion, I said sorry to Nathaniel.
         When I headed back to my room, I spent some time praying. I began to think about how often what I said
    hurt others. But I believe that as I keep praying and asking God to help me, he'll tell me when to keep my mouth
    closed.
    1. What's the writer's name?
    A. Nathaniel.
    B. Robert.
    C. Black.
    D. Green.
    2. One day in English class, Nathaniel _____ when the other classmates worked on their homework.
    A. read the text
    B. listened to the others
    C. talked to himself
    D. kept silent
    3. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word heal?
    A. 愈合
    B. 痛苦
    C. 和好
    D. 伤害
    4. In the text the writer tried to tell us that _____.
    A. when you hurt someone, the pain never goes away
    B. we should try to help each other at school
    C. it is one's duty to stand up for himself
    D. words cause more pain than wounds

         Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out
    ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are decided to a certain degree
    by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
         Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each
    extra dollar makes less and less difference.
         Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness
    is complex (复杂的). In the past half-century, the average income (平均收入) has sharply increased in
    developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met,
    money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
         "Dollars buy status (social position), and status makes people feel better," say some experts, which helps
    explain why people who can seek status in other ways, scientists or actors, for example, may happily accept
    relatively poorly-paid jobs.
         In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires (欲望), not just for money,
    but for friends, family, job, health, rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than
    those who felt a smaller gap (差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better
    than income alone. "The gap measures just blow away the measures of only income." says Michalos.
         Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad "Given all the problems of
    aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?" asks Professor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen
    interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotion questionnaire.
    She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people. Some scientists suggest
    older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they're more realistic about their time
    running out. Older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don't.
         "People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever," she says. "A
    goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional
    responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20."
    1. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs _____.
    A. make them feel much better
    B. provide chances to make friends
    C. improve their social position
    D. satisfy their professional interests
    2. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if _____.
    A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger
    B. they have a stronger desire for friendship
    C. the hope for good health is much greater
    D. their income is far below their expectation
    3. We can infer from the passage that older people _____.
    A. would like to have more goodbye kisses than young people
    B. are used to living a hard life because they are kind to others
    C. express their positive opinions just as some young people do
    D. find it easier to feel happy because they are more realistic
    4. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness _____.
    A. increases gradually with age
    B. is controlled partly by desires
    C. has little to do with wealth
    D. is decided mostly by genes

         Jogging is basically running at a steady (稳定的) speed over short or long distances. It became popular
    some twenty years ago and has remained a favorite way of keeping fit for lots of people.
         One of the main advantages of jogging over many other sports is that it can be done anywhere. People jog
    in parks, in the country side and even in urban areas. No special equipment is required no costly hats, or balls,
    and no expensive sports kit. Good quality running shoes are advisable. Special jogging suits are widely available
    these days and can be bought quite cheaply but are not necessary. In addition to being able to jog anywhere,
    you can also jog at any time, in any season! It's not unusual to see joggers exercising in the height of summer
    or in the depth of winter!
         The act of jogging doesn't require any special training or skill. You do need to be basically healthy and then,
    after a few basic warm-up bends and stretches, you are ready to begin. You simply start running, gently, and
    then build up to a steady speed. Do not overtire yourself by trying to go too fast. It is best for you to run at
    a steady and comfortable speed.
         Jogging is a single sport. You don't need to wait until you have gathered a team or found a partner. You
    can jog alone. A few words of warning however: lone women joggers should be especially careful when
    choosing jogging routes, particularly at night time.
         Jogging is excellent for keeping fit. It's good for the lungs, the heart and the circulation. It's easy and
    it's convenient. Why don't you try it? If you require more information, talk to one of the instructors at the
    sports centre. We are only too happy to help. Please remember: if you do decide to jog, talk to your doctor
    first if you have any health worries. Happy jogging!
    1. Is jogging a good way of keeping fit?
        _____________________________________
    2. Which are more necessary for joggers, good quality running shoes or special jogging suits?
