If practicing an attitude of gratitude (感激) during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.

If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It may be only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:

You’re in debt ... but you’re not homeless.

You lost your job ... but you didn’t lose your health.

You broke your leg … but you didn’t break your neck.

Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease ... but your father doesn’t.

No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything — but you can always be thankful for something.

1.How many “terrible things that didn’t happen” are listed in this passage?

The World's Largest Insect

This giant insect can be used as a toy.

A child ties one end of a string to a stick and the other end around the "neck" of an insect. Holding the stick, the child lets the insect go. With a loud whirring sound, the insect takes off, pulling the string in a large curve over the child's head. The child laughs as the stick jumps around. The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world.

The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts. Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings. The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies. To steer, the beetle twists and turns its legs the same way you steer a bike by turning its front wheel.

African children often use the Goliath beetle as a toy. Although it is over 15 centimeters long, it is quite harmless.

1.The African Goliath beetle is _______.

A. the world's largest insect

B. a toy used in many parts of the world

C. the only insect found in Africa

D. the world's smallest insect

2.What made the whirring sound that the child heard?

A. The curved string.

B. The beetle's soft wings.

C. The beetle's six legs.

D. The beetle's body.

3.We know the Goliath beetle is a true insect because it _______.

A. makes a whirring sound when it flies

B. has both soft and hard wings

C. has six legs and a body with three parts

D. can fly

4.When flying, the Goliath steers by_______.

A. turning its soft back wings

B. twisting and turning its hard front wings

C. twisting and turning its legs

Planning your holiday? Whether you’re going to Yunnan or UK, it’s important to make sure you’re well-prepared. Here’s a handy checklist to help you.

Location

The first thing you have to decide is where you want to go. Of course a lot will depend on your time and budget. Do you want to relax on a beach, visit some famous landmarks, or hike through some beautiful scenery? All these things are available in China, but if your budget stretches, why not look at somewhere else in Asia, or even farther.

Packing

There can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling, but you don’t want to forget something important. It can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets. In certain countries local thieves will target unsuspecting tourists for their money. It can also be worth packing some basic medical supplies. If you are going to be moving around a lot, buy a good backpack. Finally, remember to pack clothes that are going to be suitable for the weather.

Accommodation

There are several things to consider when picking where you want to stay. Location is often the most important. When staying in hotels, it is often a good idea to book your first night in a new city. After all, you will not be familiar with the surroundings and will want somewhere to leave your luggage. However, don’t spend more than a couple of days at the same hotel. When you get to a new place, you might soon discover there’s somewhere better to stay.

Don’t forget

The key to a good holiday is detail. When you’re traveling, especially in a foreign country, don’t forget to change some money before you leave. If you’re traveling somewhere tropical, you might need some injections or pills to avoid disease. And it’s always worth taking out travel insurance, just in case you find yourself in a spot of bother during the trip. Don’t forget to check the exchange rates. The strong yuan has made traveling abroad cheaper recently. It can also be a good idea to write down the phone number of the closest Chinese embassy, in case you need help while abroad.

1.You have to take all the following into consideration EXCEPT _______ when deciding where to spend your holiday.

A. culture B. purpose C. money D. time

2.Pants with zipped pockets are recommended mainly because _______.

A. it’s a good measure in case of emergencies

B. you’ll be expected to buy a lot of souvenirs

C. you’ll carry many small things with you

D. it will help you guard against local theft

3.As for accommodation, the writer’s tip is _______.

A. to stay away from the downtown areas to get cheap places

B. to book one or two nights in the same hotel in case you don’t like it

C. to choose your location after you arrive at your destination

D. better not to leave your luggage in unfamiliar hotels

4.It can be inferred from the last part that we should _______.

A. choose the most suitable kind of travel insurance

B. use RMB in all foreign countries since the yuan is strong

C. check the exchange rates so as to decide what currency (货币) to buy

D. get in touch with Chinese embassy if we need help when abroad

5.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To attract the tourists to travel abroad.

B. To tell some travel information to tourists.

C. To help the tourists make good preparations for their holidays.

D. To remind tourists of the safety during their journey.
