When my oldest son was in high school, he planned to attend a Christian contemporary concert with the youth group from our church. To my    36  , Aaron invited me to go along.  I    37   accepted; however, by the time the date of the concert arrived, my youngest son had been ill, and I was    38  about him. My husband    39   me to attend the concert, promising he would take care of our youngest. I hesitated.
Finally, it    40   me. Aaron was sixteen years old. How many    41   would I have to do something fun with him    42   he went away to college? And how many youth actually    43    their mothers to attend a concert with them that was clearly for  teens?  The    44   was made. I would not miss this opportunity.
At the concert, I sat with Aaron in the third row, stuffing (填塞) cotton in my ears to block out the    45  , ear-splitting music of the first performer. I stood when the kids stood, clapped when they clapped, and never let anyone know how    46   I was to feel  the  floor  vibrate (震动) beneath my feet. Aaron and his friends were    47   at my enthusiasm.
By the time we left the concert, my ears were ringing, but it quickly passed.    48   did my son's teenage years.    49   he was in college and away from home. I missed him more than I could say. On days when I was especially    50   for his ready smile and his teasing manner, I would think back to the concert we attended and be thankful once again  that  I  didn't    51   an opportunity to spend time with my son.
Aaron is now grown and has a family of his own, but we are still very    52  . Some days he calls just to    53   and tell me about his day. I drop everything and    54  the moment, knowing these times too shall    55  .

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people  21  that it’s their job to show others how their positions, statements, and points of view are   22  , and that on doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow  _23 it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been  _24 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right”? Or, has anyone you know ever   25 you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their  26  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   27 to be corrected. We all want our position to be   28  and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest  29  of the human heart. And those who learn to  30  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   31 of correcting others are often resented(怨恨 ) and   32   .
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice   33   others the joy of being right ---give them the glory.   34 correcting. When someone says, “ I really feel it’s important to …”, rather than breaking   35  and saying, “No, it’s more important to…“, simply let it go and allow their statement to  36  . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   37  . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   38  . You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s   39  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos( 自我 ). Starting today, let others be   40 ” , most of the time.

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲观的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(复杂的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
小题1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A.Doing nothing about it.
B.Exercising and enjoying music.
C.Writing down negative thoughts.
D.Talking about it with neighbors.
小题2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A.It helps remove bad mood.
B.It brings us a new technique.
C.It is not complicated to do so.
D.It is an area to be easily controlled.
小题3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A.shows what happens around you
B.does not energize you
C.reminds you of eating and drinking
D.produces a calming effect
小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Energy Level and Stress
B.How to Beat a Bad Mood
C.Bad Mood and Our Life
D.How to Control Your Feeling

As I got up today, I smelt fresh coffee. I woke up to   36   a cup of it with some biscuits on my bedside table. This reminded me of   37  , the old school and college days, when mom used to wake me up by serving a   38   cup of coffee. The taste is still so   39   in my memories.
A   40    thought hit me, “I was in bed, so who prepared this coffee for me? Is it a dream?”
I pinched(掐)myself, ouch… that hurt, which meant I was not   41  . I walked out of the room with the cup of coffee,   42   my roommate. I asked him whether he prepared that for me, and the answer was YES.
I was relaxed   43   somehow my heart wanted him to say NO, because I wanted to be in a   44   that my mom prepared it for me. The whole   45   reminded me of mom and I   46   her at that moment.
On my way to my office, I was thinking about those days when mom used to cook my   47  meal. I could not   48   any single day when I slept without food. But now, I no longer   49  the food mom cooked.
This very thought   50   tears to my eyes and I decided to call up mom. I reached the office and gave her a call.
The first thing she asked was, “Is everything all right?” I was   51  . And I thought, “How the time has   52  ”.
When I was with her, I used to call her after every hour when I was out with my friends. In those days she   53   asked me what was wrong, as she knew that it was my habit. My call at this point of the day to her meant that I was in   54  .
Time has changed, she is still the same, and it is   55   who have changed.

I'll be a photographer. I'm going to bring bits of Australia back home with me. I told myself this before, yet I feel so doubtful on this plane that's flying me thousands of miles away. I was so confident yesterday .But today I don't belong to this plane where men sit with briefcases reading newspapers. They're all adults.
I've never been out of the US. And now ,I'm traveling into Australia alone, a world I know nothing about. A part of me recognizes it as home.
I remember little about my mother, but I remember she had an Australian accent and golden hair. She wan fun and she would often take us to New Jersey beaches, where we would spend the whole day taking walks along the shore. My mom told me that in Australia, Christmas was always spent on the beach with friends and family, and everyone wore Santa hat with their bathing suits. It never got cold and bitter there. My mom was different and I was proud of her.
I don't know how she met my father. but after they met several years, they got married and moved into an apartment in New Jersey. Then I was born and we were a perfect family of three who went out to dinner and watched movies in the dark and loved each other.
I know things have been hard on my father since my Mom died years ago. It's hard for me, too, and I have to experience the wonderful place my mom grew up in and loved. My mom talked about Australia so much and now I have to see this place.
This is an adventure.

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量标准)in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -----“That’s not a problem here,”-----Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity(关注), leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
小题1:It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____.
A.receive too many visitorsB.mirror the rest of the nation
C.hide the truth of campus crimeD.have too many watchdog groups
小题2:The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _____.
A.mindB.admitC.believeD.expect
小题3: We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges _____.
A.that are protected by campus securityB.that report campus crimes by law
C.that are free from campus crimeD.that enjoy very good publicity
小题4:What is the text mainly about?
A.Exact campus crime statistics.B.Crimes on or around campuses.
C.Effective solutions to campus crime.D.Concerns about kids’ campus safety.



When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.
After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
小题1:When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.
A.touch everythingB.cover your mouth
C.point out to the kidsD.pass the germs to others
小题2:If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.
A.hold the doorB.pass throughC.close the doorD.stand to the side
小题3:From the passage we ca know the writer is a ________.
A. doctorB.travelerC.parentD.teacher
小题4:A. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the rules of behavior in public         B. the easy of communication
C. the acts of kindness among people      D. the knowledge of social life
