Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July．The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was, said the Judge, a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming．When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”

“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do．“Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地)．“And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．“Fee, pack your things．We’ll go to see him.”

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．“I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．“It would kill him to see me．I know him so well—his pride, his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants．We’ve got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us?”

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away．But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．“Yes, Paddy, do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”

1. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.

A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

2. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.

A． Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B． Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C． Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank

D． Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

3. What can be inferred from the passage?

A． The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.

B． The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.

C． The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.

D． Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.

4. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?

A． Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.

B． Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

C． Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.

D． Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

Stay on the brighter side of life One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful．In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being．Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for．1.

Feeling down？Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t．A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well．2. Reassure yourself that everything is good— even if you don’t feel it．

“3.If you’re stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly too,” says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor．By blowing negative events out of proportion, you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day．Instead, acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window．That way, you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day．

Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve．4.You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated．However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going．

5. Try making someone else’s day better．A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers．Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life．

A．Try to help someone in need．

B．Want to give your attitude a lift？

C．People tend to think in an either-or way．

D．Act in an optimistic way—smile, laugh, tell a joke．

E．You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life．

F．By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself．

G．By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around．

This is the first time that I had been away from home, so I find it hard to live here. How I wish I can turn to Lucy, who once gave me much help! I had trouble with my study in Grade 9. So frustrating was I that I began to play computer games after school, when I should have paid more attention to catching up with others. Beside, I was even caught cheating in the exam, it worried my parents a lot. When asking about the reason why I fell far behind, I was too guilty to say a word. It was then Lucy came to my help, telling me not to give up. To my amazement, I made a great progress. Finally, I even became one of the top student in my class. I must say thanks to Lucy, without whose help I could never have had so good grades.

Dear Jorge,

Are you enjoying your break from school? My family are now in Sacramento, California. We are here paying a visit to visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to the California State Capital Building, the nature center, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunt’s home to Calistoga to see California’s Old Faithful Geyser(老忠实泉). I had read about it in my book, Sightseeing in California; Where You Should Go.You have probably heard of Old Faithful, the geyser father north in Yellowstone National Park. This California geyser is sometimes called“ Little Old Faithful.”

When we arrived California’s Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water. The geyser didn’t look very deep. “ What’s the big deal?” I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.

Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about 95℃. This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.

My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher than California’s Old Faithful Geyser. I’d love to learn more about this geyser and other geysers in different countries when I get home. I’ll see you soon!

Your friend,

Bennetto
