Last year, I lost my best friend in high school. It seemed that everyone else’s life could just continue
on in its 1 way, but mine couldn"t. I wasn"t sure how I was going to be able to face 2 and their gossip at
school. I was forced to 3 my routine on Monday morning as usual. In the evening I returned home from
school 4 completely defeated. All I wanted to do was 5 into bed and wallow（沉迷于）in my own
self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and 6 a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included
a（n） 7 that it was to be opened on a 8 night that week.
I made it through that week 9 my father. Each card 10 to say just what I needed to hear.
Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the 11 is impossible to imagine. Don"t try. Just
take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood 12 when I read, “What you are feeling now is
13 and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing 14 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he
wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special 15 you face along life’s way,
may you 16 that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card 17 the party I
went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to 18 . “The world isn"t so bad after a good laugh.
The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”
My world once collapsed but I 19 the difficult breakup eventually. It owed to my dad , who made

For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was
very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I
would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling
rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a
delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only
when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours
walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive
again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the
path singing, "I"m singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try
too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to
depression and stress.
Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a
drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time
walking in a busy city centre.
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely,
remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play. |
| 1. The author felt depressed because she __________. |
A. couldn"t consume her waking hour

| 2. The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to__________. |
A. take photos
B. find a solution to the project
C. hop along the path
D. cheer herself up |
| 3. The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means " __________.". |
A. unsuccessful
B. unrelated
C. uninteresting
D. unexpected |
| 4. In the author"s opinion, __________. |
A. a bath can make people relaxed
B. depression is usually caused by hard work
C. walking in a busy city centre harms people"s health

In a US city, a woman parked her car in an attended lot. Hoping to get a discount on the cost of
parking, she asked, “Do you give validation(批准)?” “Certainly,”replied the store"s manager:“You are
an excellent person and I love your hair.” That might be worth the cost of parking．I mean，who wouldn"t
pay a couple of dollars for this kind of validation?
Author Alan McGinIlis cites an interesting study about the power of positive encouragement．A
second-grade teacher complained that her children were spending too much time standing up and roaming
around the room rather than working．
Two psychologists observed the behavior of the children and the teacher. Every ten seconds they
noted how many children were out of their seats. They counted 360 unseated children throughout each
20-minute period．They also noted that the teacher said "Sit down!" seven times during the same
period．
The psychologists tried an experiment．They asked the teacher to tell the children to sit down more
often. This time they noted that she commanded her students to sit down 27.5 times in an average
20-minute period, and now 540 were noted to be out of their seats during the same average period．Her
increased scolding actually made the problem worse．
Then the experimenters tried a different task．They asked the teacher to quietly praise those children
who were seated and working．At this time, children"s roaming was decreased by 33％．They showed
their best behavior when they were praised more and blamed less．
People who motivate others to take great action are almost always those who encourage more than
criticize; who praise more and blame less.
Perhaps the woman"s question is the correct one after all．"Do you give validation?" I hope I can
always answer “YES”. |

A. it is better to blame others than to praise others

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be
successful in his own way. Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade
and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines．I kept asking him to sit down, telling him
that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he
got up again．I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker
and accurate when he stood up．Could he be more intent while standing up？
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe
that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get
good grades and become someone important in life．
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA
and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their
growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids" best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them
find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously, he is concentrating just in his
own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids" ways of doing things．Some way may have
worked for me but doesn"t mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than
being individual and unique．It makes us free and happy and that"s just the way I want my kids to live their
own life． |
