4．My son David，who was 3.5 years old，taught me a beautiful lesson today．After we finished playing with the beads （珠子），David slowly picked up each bead，looking at it as if it were made of chocolate and then put it into the box they were stored in．With over a hundred beads to go，I was getting impatient．"Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in？My morning was going to be ruined today!"
But then it hit me like a brick．I noticed that he did this with as much interest as he had while we wer e playing．The boy was enjoying the whole process．For him the fun was in the game itself as well as in the process of properly packing up and cleaning up．It was not just about his turn or the fun part．Every bit was as fun as the other．
I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket （板球）．If I was not batting or bowling （击球或掷球），I was unhappy as I impatiently waited for my turn to do so．As a result，I was unhappy while waiting for my turn and only happy for the few moments I either batted or bowled．Only the process of doing something I combined with happiness made me cheerful．The rest of the time I was waiting for my run in the future or recalling great bowling from the past．
Looking at how peacefully my son was putting beads into the box taught me that the process is the goal．The joy of journey is not in getting there but in every step of it．
16．Why was the father getting upset？D
A．He wasn't interested in the game．
B．His son didn't do it as he was told to．
C．David put away the beads casually．

11．Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger．（33）AHave you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test？But when done a lot-especially without realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight，health，and overall well-being．
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings．（34）EOne of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings．Yes，people often turn to food when they're stressed out，lonely，sad，anxious，or bored．But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too，like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast．Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events，like a death or a divorce．（35）GEmotional eating patterns can be learned：A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done．（36）BIt's not easy to"unlearn（抛弃）"patterns of emotional eating．But it is possible．And it starts with an awareness of what's going on．
We're all emotional eaters to a degree．But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem，causing serious weight gain or other problems．The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone，the feelings that cause it remain．（37）DThat's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger．
Next time you reach for a snack，wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it．
A．Believe it or not，we've all been there．
B．If a crying boy gets some cookies，he may link cookies with comfort．
C．One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards．
D．And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like．
E．Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it．
F．Boys seem to prefer hot，homemade comfort meals，while girls go for chocolate and ice cream．
G．More often，though，it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food．

6．When I was a girl of 10，I joined the school cross-country team and practiced twice a week，on the 1.8-km course I'd never really run before and I thought the course would be easy．It was a real shock I ran out of breathe within the first few minutes．I never realized how tiring running could be but I didn't think about give up．
Over time，I did get a little bit faster．However，I was really slow．In races，I would finish close to last．I'd always have to stop more than once，especially in the longer races，which were 2.5to 2.8km．After every race，I'd go home and cry．But I still didn't stop running，holding onto that picture of crossing the finishing line and finally doing well．
Then one of my friends joined the team，too．She could run easily and even came in the 18th in a big race!I felt so slow and my confidence was lower than ever．I became so nervous when I thought of the races that I wanted to give up badly．
Finally，I realized that the reason I was to nervous was that I was always worried that I wasn't ready for them．So a few weeks before the next 2.8-km race．I practiced running almost 3km every day，which helped me improve my pace．
When the time came for the big race，all that practicing really  paid off．I stopped only once and my pace was so much better．
I realized that I'd finally gotten happiness with running．But the funny thing was．It didn't come from doing better，Instead，it came from the fact that I had tried harder and never given up．
