8．The Doll and the White Rose
I was walking around in a mall，when I saw a cashier（收银员） hand this little boy some money back．The cashier said，"I'm sorry，but you don't have enough money to buy this doll"．The little boy seemed very disappointed．
I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to．"It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her：But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there．"His eyes were so sad．"My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too，so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister．"
My heart nearly stopped．The little boy looked up at me and continued，"I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet．I need her to wait until I come back from the mall．"
I quickly reached for my wallet and said，"Suppose we check again，just in case you do have enough money for the doll．"
"OK，I hope I do have enough，"he said．I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it．There was enough for the doll and even some spare money．
Surprisingly，the little boy cried，"Thank you God for giving me enough money!"Then he looked at me and added，"I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll，so that Mommy could give it to my sister．He heard me!I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy，but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose!"
Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away，and the mother was left in a critical（严重的） state．Was this the family of the little boy？
Two days after I met the little boy，I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away．I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral（葬礼）．Teary-eyed，I felt that my life had been changed forever．

21．The boy wanted to buy the doll becauseD．
A．he had always been eager for such a doll
B．Santa Claus didn't give him any Christmas gift
C．he would give it to his mother as a birthday surprise
D．he wanted to turn his sister's Christmas wish into reality
22．We can learn from the story thatC．
A．the boy's sister died after staying in hospital for two weeks
B．the boy's family were all seriously injured in a car accident
C．the author gave the boy some extra money without his notice
D．the boy's mother always wished to receive a white rose on Christmas
23．The story most probably conveys（传递） the message thatA．
A．a kind act can bring joy and hope to others
B．a gift is a perfect way to express love for others
C．losing a family member is a heavy blow to children
D．a religious（宗教） belief can help one solve problems in his life．

11．You want to be happy，who doesn't？However，whether you procrastinate（拖延），feed negative self-talk，or don't rest your mind，you lower your potential to create happiness．
Procrastination
You aren't in deadly danger if you procrastinate，but your system doesn't always take this information on board．You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals．
（36）FYour ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate．Therefore，you don't see as much joy．
Negative self-talk
（37）ETaking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful．Nevertheless，most people don't recognize negative self-talk as a pointer； they feed it until it grows out of control．
（38）A
Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over．However，if you give it too many tasks，you shut out peace of mind．
（39）GThought-overload results in physical symptoms，like a racing heart and shortness of breath．Additionally，you might have sleeplessness，digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness．
If you want to increase the odds of being happy，don't procrastinate．（40）D Similarly，don't overload your mind，give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier．

A．Not resting your mind．
B．Using your brain regularly．
C．It is a human weakness to put things off．
D．At the same time，don't feed negative self-talk．
E．Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally．
F．Additionally，as your system is nervous physically，your mind also closes off a little．
G．Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety．
