5．Around twenty years ago I was going through hard times．I could not find a satisfying job．To my shame，I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet and lived in a friend's house．
One afternoon，while driving through a quiet suburban （郊外的） neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself"Why has my life become so hard？""What's wrong with the world？"Then I pulled over the bus to drop off （让…下车） a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring，saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case（以防）the owner came to look for it．
In the evening，the owner did come to look for her earring．When I handed it to her，she got very excited and continued saying"Thanks，you're a real gentleman．"I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it．She said，"Yes，and you are a good driver，too．What a lovely world it is!"Then she left with satisfaction．I was touched by her last words．I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condition．In fact，nothing was wrong with the world．I should change my attitude towards life．I should be positive about life．
At first it was hard，and then it got easier．Every day I could find things to make me happy．Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friend's house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital．She said she had read my application form and asked me if I would like to work in the hospital．I said yes and got the job．Looking back at the experience I know the most important is to have a positive attitude towards life．

2．There are stories about two U．S．presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don't know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper，he would write"all correct"on it．The problem was that he didn't know how to spell．So what he really wrote was"ol korekt"．After a while，he shortened that term to"OK"．

9．You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy（嫉妒）？For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship．When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is．Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships．Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think．
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that．Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited （逞能），just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you．If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling．Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well．
When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what （s）he thinks would make the situation better．If，for example，（s）he says that （s）he feels like （s）he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of[．Com]you．Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise（妥协）．Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy．Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out．
Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy．This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies．Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise．If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't．

7．An African-born British scientist received an environment research prize for show-ing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants．Lucy King's work proved that beehive（峰房）"fences"can keep elephants out of African farmers'fields．The animals are scared of bees，which can bite them inside their long noses，and flee when they hear buzzing（蜂鸣声）．
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge，while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations．Working in Kenya，Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees．Afterwards，they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger．They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence，keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food．
A two-year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them，disturbing the bees．Later，the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts--who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey．
As Africa's population grows，competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious，and there are fatalities on both sides．The same is true in parts of Asia．Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict．
Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa--and perhaps，eventually，in Asia．

A．intelligent solution to an age-old challenge．
B．confirmation of the importance of bees to people

①Beehive fences are built around a Farm．
②Elephants hear the buzzing and run away．
③Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives．
④Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences．
A．①→②→③→④B．①→④→③→②
C．④→③→②→①D．①→②→④→③
63．Dr King's solution is described as"intelligent"becauseD．
A．it successfully keeps elephants out of African farmers'fields
B．the fences Were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts
C．more than 90% of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees
D．it protects crops．produces honey and preserves the dephant at the same time
