Though there are so many passages about positive thinking, few people really understand what it is. Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring (忽视) what is happening around us. If someone is going through problems or living in a difficult situation, we cannot expect him to ignore his problems and start thinking positively right away.
It is easier to think positively when we are in a comfortable situation, rather than a bad situation. We cannot think positively when we have problems, unless we are trained to. No one can speak a foreign language before studying and practicing for some time. The same thing is true about being positive. However, saying that everything is going to be all right, smiling for no reason, or ignoring problems without trying to solve them, is not being positive. It is daydreaming.
Positive people expect the best and believe that a bad situation will be improved, but they are also practical (明智的) people. They look for opportunities and solutions instead of doing nothing. They can improve a bad situation with a positive attitude. They can not only keep thinking of the problem that they face, but they can also refuse to let the problem affect their mind too much.
Positive thinking is being hopeful, and hope brings light and happiness into our life. One can just live with a bad attitude, or one can try to do one’s best in a bad situation. It is a matter of choice.
小题1: When we are in bad situation, it is ____ for us to think positively at once.| A．harder | B．easier | | C．quicker | D．slower |
小题2: Which one of the following is being positive?| A．Ignoring everything that we are facing. | | B．Doing nothing but thinking. | | C．Daydreaming all day. | | D．Trying to solve problems. |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?| A．Being positive can be trained, like learning a language. | | B．Positive people can look for solutions in bad situations. | | C．Problems can have a bad influence on positive people. | | D．Positive thinking is helpful for everyone. |

Under pressure from health and children’s groups, McDonald’s is making changes to its famous Happy Meals. The fast food chain (连锁店) will add a serving (一份食物的量) of fruit or vegetable to all of the meals, which are aimed at children, and reduce the amount of French fries.
McDonald’s said it first experimented with cutting fries entirely from the Happy Meals, but children and parents disagreed. “People come to McDonald’s and, first of all, they want the choice and the control to be theirs, but their expectation of a Happy Meal does include fries,”said Jan Fields, president of McDonald’s in the US. ”When we did it without fries, there was a huge disappointment.”
The new French fries in Happy Meals will contain 1.1 ounces (31 grams) of potatoes, down from 2.4 ounces. Apple slices will often be included as the healthy dish, but it could also be carrots, pineapple slices or oranges, depending on the time of year and the region(区域) in which they are being served.
Although the subject to variation (变化) depends on what is ordered, the new meals will represent, on average, a 20% decrease (减少) in calories (卡路里) , the chain said. Fields said Happy Meal prices will not go up as a result of the changes. But the chain has raised prices this year as a result of increasing costs.
As the world’s largest restaurant chain by sales, McDonald’s has been under careful examination for the nutritional (营养的) quality of its food. People also criticized its sales of children’s meals with a toy, connecting it to the nation’s obesity (肥胖) problem.
小题1: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?| A．New Happy Meals contain fewer calories. | | B．New Happy Meal prices are not the same as the old ones. | | C．People do not want to eat French fries in Happy Meals. | | D．Old Happy Meals contain 2.4 ounces of potatoes in the form of French fries. |
小题2: According to the passage ,_____________won’t be served in the new Happy Meals.| A．apple slices | B．oranges | | C．bananas | D．carrots |
小题3: Why did people criticize the sale of children’s meals with a toy at McDonald’s?| A．The toy is of poor quality. | | B．Children prefer its toys to its meals. | | C．It makes the children’s meals more expensive. | | D．It will cause the obesity problem. |
小题4:What is the best title for the passage?| A．McDonald’s to Raise Price Again | | B．McDonald’s in Careful Examination | | C．McDonald’s Criticized by Children and Parents | | D．McDonald’s to Make Happy Meals Healthier |
