题目内容

        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 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 no, 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 Alzheimers 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?

A. Two       B. Three           C. Four            D. Five

2.The writer thinks it ____ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.

A. necessary   B. normal          C. great            D. helpful

B. To explain what is gratitude towards the storms of life.

D. To show people different ways to consider their tough situations.

Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

Make money during special events

Won’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around£14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (打口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.

Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun shots (枪声). When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house—cover up the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.

What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.

1.If you get lost in the forest, you should__________.

   A. stay where you are and give a signal 

   B. walk around the forest and shout so that your friends might hear you

   C. try to find your friends as soon as possible

   D. try to get out of the forest and shout for help

2. Which signal is a call for help?

   A. Shouting here and there.

   B. Crying twice.

   C. Shouting or whistling three times together. 

   D. Whistling everywhere in the forest.

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

   A. When you hear two shouts or whistles, you know that people will soon come to help you.

   B. When you can’t get help before night comes, put up a tent in the open air.

   C. If you need drinking water you can just walk away to look for a river.

   D. Picking off flowers as you walk can help your find your way back.
