9．Every year，I tell my sons what I'd like for Mother's Day：a letter．Something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly．I don't always get my wish，nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother．
     This year，my boys will be in two different states on Mother's Day．My mom and dad will be away together，and l'11 be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts．Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children，I am deeply grateful that what separates us，for now at least，is merely distance．It won't always be so，and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is．My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail，and that is enough as I love their words．The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness，the very fact of their busy．full and well-lived lives．
     Still，knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over，I do Feel doleful．The truth is，I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys．And this holiday can be a bit painful．
     I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic （'VTIH WJ） for the passing of my childhood．I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been．I don't often pause to think about it．but of course she is the one who has been right there，at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath．How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am？How to describe even a small part of the sharing．sacrificing．and support she has given me over the years？

3．A study of more than five million books，both fiction and non-fiction，has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time．The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer，a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books，to search for more than 600particular words identified as representing anger，dislike，fear，joy，sadness and surprise．
They found that almost all of the categories （类别） showed a drop in these"mood words"over time．Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage．
"It is a steady and continuous decrease，"said Dr Alberto Acerbi．He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature，in a crowded media landscape．"One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media．Maybe these media-movies，radio，drama-had more emotional content than books．"
Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend，the research，published in the journal PLOS One，found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio （比率） between the two varied greatly，apparently mirroring historical events．
During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash．But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War．Nevertheless，the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends．In the paper，they even argue that the reverse could be true．
"It has been suggested，for example，that it was the suppression （压抑） of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance and sex'…perhaps，"they conclude，"songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body．"
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）
81．A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in"mood words"over time exceptin the category of fear．
82．According to Dr Alberto Acerbi，one reason for the drop of"mood words"in books may be thatthe literary position has changed in a crowded media landscape/other media-movies，radio，drama-
had more emotional content．
83．What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest？During the roaring Twenties and before the recent financial crash．
84．While the researchers found some changes in the use of"mood words"in books，they were
not sure thattheir research result reflected wider social trends/songs and books reflected the real population．

4．Before my first summer vacation at college，my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him on his father's farm in Argentina．The idea of spending two months in Argentine was exciting．Then I began having second thoughts．I had never been far from New England，and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college．What would it be like in a strange country？What about the language？The more I thought about it，the more the idea worried me．
In the end I turned down the invitation．As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go，I began kicking myself．I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared，and had ended up feeling depressed．That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself：do what makes you anxious； don't do what makes you depressed．
At the end of my senior year，I began to think about becoming a writer．But my professor was urging me to aim at teaching．I hesitated．The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina．Back and forth I went，making my decision，unmaking it．Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing，that downhearted feeling went through me．
Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me．Right then I learned another lesson．To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern．
When I first began writing articles，I was frequently required to interview big names．Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake．One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington．On the stage and on television，he seemed the very model of confidence．Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright．If the highly honored Ellington，who had appeared on the bandstand some 10，000times over 30years，had anxiety attacks，who was I to think I could avoid them？I went on doing those frightening interviews．Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews．What had happened to those butterflies？
Well，in truth，they were still there，but there were fewer of them．I had benefited，I discovered，from a process psychologists call"extinction"．If you put an individual in an anxious situation often enough，he will eventually learn that there isn't anything to be worried about，which brings me to a conclusion：you'll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it．
The point is that the new，the different，is definitely scary．But each time you try something，you learn，and as the learning piles up，the world opens to you．

A．finds it difficult to make decision
