                                                         How I Turned to Be Optimistic
           I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house,
    and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying,
    and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the
    thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.  
          I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was
    saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was
    going to see - the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I
    was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.  
           The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me
    at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result
    of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things
    became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each
    other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
            My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at
    home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my
    grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company
    representatives.  
             From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go
    away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I
    believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.  
    1. How did the author get to know America? 
    A. From her relatives                
    B. From her mother 
    C. From books and pictures      
    D. From radio programs
    2. For the first two years in New York, the author _________.  
    A. often lost her way                            
    B. did not think about her future 
    C. studied in three different schools    
    D. got on well with her stepfather
    3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4? 
    A. She worked as a translator 
    B. She attended a lot of job interviews 
    C. She paid telephone bills for her family 
    D. She helped her family with her English
    4. The author believes that _________.
    A. her future will be free from troubles 
    B. it is difficult to learn to become patient 
    C. there are more good things than bad things 
    D. good things will happen if one keeps trying

         I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or
    unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these
    statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by
    a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s.
    In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than
    children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
         Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
    isolation-brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things-and
    a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
         Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.
         At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child
    is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
         To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.
    Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will
    get more sleep.
         Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games
    and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
         Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended
    Harvard or Yale.
         Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide
    a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.
    1. What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back" (Line 1, Para. 3)?
    A. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
    B. The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
    C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
    D. It's impossible to forget the past.
    2. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally
        ill 50 years ago ________.
    A. were less isolated physically
    B. were probably less self-centered
    C. probably suffered less from anxiety
    D. were considered less individualistic
    3. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is ________.
    A. to provide them with a safer environment
    B. to lower their expectations for them
    C. to get them more involved socially
    D. to set a good model for them to follow
    4. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
    A. Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.
    B. Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.(夸大)
    C. Children's anxiety can be eliminated(排除) with more parental care.
    D. Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.

         When we think about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,a pinnacle(顶点)of delight.  And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
            1    I remember playing policemen and robbers in the woods,getting a speaking part in the school
    play.  Of course,kids also experience lows,but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race
    or getting a new bike is unreserved.
        For teenagers,or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes.   2   I can
    still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember
    the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
       In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth,love,marriage also bring
    responsibility and the risk of loss.      3   For adults,happiness is complex.
           4   But I think a better explanation of happiness is"the ability to enjoy something".  The more we can
    enjoy what we have,the happier we are.  It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being
    loved,the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,even good health.
        While happiness may be more complex for us,the solution is the same as ever.
    Happiness isn't about what happens to us;it's the ability to find a positive for every
    negative,and view a difficulty as a challenge.   5   

    A. Love may not last;loved ones die.
    B. For a child,happiness has a magic quality.
    C. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
    D. Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.
    E. The dictionary explains "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate".
    F. It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do possess.
    G. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love,and popularity.
