4．Not long ago，few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astronauts．For years in the United States，only men had that opportunity．In 1983，that changed．Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space．
On Monday，Ride died at the age of 61，"Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model，"President Barack Obama said in a statement．"She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars．"
Ride became interested in space when she was a kid．"If you asked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut，I'm sure I would have said yes，"she said in a 2010 interview．"But I didn't even think about that as a possible career．"
After studying physics in college，Ride got her chance．She was accepted into NASA's astronaut training program in 1978，and then chosen to be the first American female in space．In 1983，she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shuttle．
Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984．Between the two missions，she spent a total of 343hours in orbit．After that，she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids．She co-authored six science books for children，and started her own science and education company．
Ride knew that she held a unique place in history．"I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing，"she said．
Since Ride's historic trip，more than 40other American women have traveled to space．They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier．

16．Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that in order to achieve contentment，one should"cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you，and to give thanks continuously．"It turns out Emerson-who explored the meaning of a good life in much of his work-wasn't far off when it comes to What we now know about counting one's blessings．Research is continually finding that expressing thanks can lead to a healthier，happier and less-stressed lifestyle．
How can we，as Emerson advised，be thankful for each thing that contributes to our lives？Below are four habits that could help you cultivate gratitude on a daily basis．
Keep a journal．-Research has shown that writing down what you're thankful for can lead to a range of wellness benefits．Keeping a gratitude journal can reinforce positive thoughts-something particularly helpful as the brain tends to naturally focus on what goes wrong．Putting pen to paper can also help you make more progress as you work toward personal goals．In order to reap the full benefits of keeping a journal，Dr Robert Emmons，gratitude researcher and psychology professor at the University of California，Davis，recommends writing for five to 10 minutes every other day．"You really need to commit to doing it，and if you write it down eventually it will become more automatic，"Emmons says．"It's like exercise-you're not just going to get up one morning and go running，you need to have a plan．
Don't avoid the negative．-Expressing gratitude has been proven to generate more optimism，but thankful people also don't shy away from the negative．Emmons says that while we often associate gratitude with focusing on the good and avoiding the bad，the key to leading a thankful life is embracing setbacks as part of your overall journey．Emmons suggests recalling a hard time you once experienced-chances are，you'll start to feel grateful for your current state and for overcoming former challenges．
Spend time with loved ones．-Thankful people know they didn't get to where they are by themselves-and they make it a habit to spend time with those people who matter most．"Gratitude really helps us connect to other people，"Emmons says．"It actually strengthens relationships and relationships are the strongest predictors of happiness and coping with stress．"Expressing appreciation for loved ones can also help create closeness by allowing others to see how you look at them．According to Dr．Michael E．McCullough，a University of Miami researcher，your feelings of gratitude benefit more than just yourself．"More than other emotion，gratitude is the emotion of friendship，"McCullough told the New York Times in 2011．"It is part of a psychological system that causes people to raise their estimates of how much value they hold in the eyes of another person．"
Volunteer．-Everyone needs a little help sometimes-and grateful people know there's no other way to acknowledge this than by paying it forward．In his book"Thanks!，"Emmons notes that those who volunteer often feel grateful for the experience to give back．"Since service to others helped them to find their own inner spirituality，they were grateful for the opportunity to serve，"he wrote．As recent research published in BMC Public Health points out，volunteering can result in fewer feelings of depression and increased overall well-being．Emmons suggests examining your own talents and use them to help others，noting that people become more grateful as givers rather than receivers．

13．Papa's Straw HatPapa was a ranger．He worked with horses．He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked．His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat-large black hat of heavy wool．He wore his hat full and high．I think he wanted to look taller than he really was．
Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes．But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather．She began to talk about his hats．
"Papa，"she said one day，"why don't you get a nice cool straw hat？That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!"Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn't recognize him if he changed the hat．But she didn't believe him．
Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long．At last papa answered，a little angry，"It would not the cowboy hat but a wife's talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair．"
Mama had a very serious look on her face．She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat．It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money．She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat，papa would wear it．When papa saw the hat，his face got red．Without a word，he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses．
He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses．But as papa got close to the horses this time，they jumped high into the air，raising their front feet．All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn．Papa began to shout"Woo boys．Steady boys，steady．"But there was nothing equal to．
Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen，pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama，in a way that even frightened me．"Now listen to me，mama．Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like．"Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house．
I never heard mama talk any more about hats．Perhaps，that is why when papa died many years later，there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair．

24．According to the passage，a ranger isD．
A．a person wearing a woolen hat
B．a position requiring clean clothes
C．a person riding a carriage with horses

B．most cowboys preferred to wear it
C．a woolen one didn't suit papa
D．it was cheap and she could save money
26．What quality can we learn from papa？D
A．Gentle．B．Patient．C．Modest．D．Committed．
27．It can be learned from the story thatC．
A．papa didn't love the straw hat and mama
