12.Have you played it?It's a game for a person or for a carload.
Someone begins,"I'm grateful to God for…"And he or she shares something.Then the next person gives gratitude for something.This goes on for 5 minutes or more until you reach your destination.There's no loser.Everyone feels happy after expressing gratitude.And sometimes you discover amazing things.
My 5yearold granddaughter and I played the gratitude game when she visited us.I found out she was grateful to her friend Josh…and"the other Josh".She was grateful to go swimming at the pool.She was grateful to have a daddy who played with her and to a nice mommy.
She would begin the gratitude games as soon as we settled into the car to drive somewhere.Playing it with her,I tried to be honest and not just say something fast.I really stopped to think.What was I grateful for at the moment?That our country was not at war.That we had plenty to eat.Playing the game made me more aware of the good things in my life.
A friend of mine was having a tough time seeing that there wasn't any good in his life.I[来源:学科网]suggested to my friend that he take a few minutes before going to bed and write down all the good things he could think of that happened during the day.
Later he told me what happened.He couldn't think of anything good.But he persisted until he was able to write a few things down.The next morning he decided to look for signs of good during the day.He sat down on his front steps.A robin(知更鸟) landed on the grass.In his words,it began"doing a little dance",preening(整理羽毛) and cleaning itself.He watched the entire show.It was delightful.He realized that if he hadn't been really looking for good,he would never have noticed the robin and would have missed what to him was a remarkable display.
That evening he filled several pages with recordings of good that had happened during the day and things he was grateful for.Gratitude had made a huge difference!

3.Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family.When she was young,she took lessons in music and drawing,and read great books.She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child,she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure.She enjoyed helping them.
At last,her mind was made up."I'm going to be a nurse,"she decided.
"Nursing isn't the right work for a lady,"her father told her.
"Then I will make it so,"she smiled.And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France.When she returned to England,Florence started a nursing home for women.
During the Crimean War in 1854,she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospital.What they saw there was terrible.Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled.The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital,either.But the brave nurses went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes,beds,medicines and food for the men.Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers.But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After war,she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria.But Florence said that her work had just begun.She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.She also wrote a book on public health,which was printed in several countries.
Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety,still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse.Indeed,it is because of her that we honour nurses today.

7.Taking photographs at a birthday or a wedding has become as natural as blowing out candles or cutting the cake.But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them,according to new research.A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.
Dr.Linda Henkel,from Fairfield University,Connecticut,described it as the"photo-taking impairment effect".She said,"People often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them.When people rely on technology to remember them-counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves-it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their exp eriences."
Dr.Henkel a nd her team carried out an experiment in a museum,to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.
A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try an d remember objects on display.The next day their memory was tested.The results showed that people were less accurate in recognising the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at.It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.
Henkel's lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo,such as whether you are in it,affects memory.She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.
Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember objects,but only if we take the time.
"Research has suggested that the great volume and lack of organisation of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them.In order to remember,we have to access and interact with the photos,rather than just collect them,"said Dr.Henkel.
32.What does the word,"them",in the first paragraph,refer to?C
A.Gifts at a birthday.
B.People who go to parties.
C.Details of the happiest moments.
D.Photos taken at a wedding.
33.What is the"photo-taking impairment effect"?B
A.Some unhappy events may impair the effects of photos.
B.Taking photographs of objects ruins one's memory of them.
C.The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.
D.Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.
34.What can we learn about Dr.Linda Henkel's study?D
A.A group of high school students were involved.
B.The memory of participants was tested the following week.
C.People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.
D.People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.
35.With which of the following may Dr.Linda Henkel agree?B
A.Reviewing photos improves memories of objects.
B.Relying on technology to remember affects the memory.
C.Counting on cameras to record events is always reliable.
D.Focusing on people at events is the best way to remember.
4.Parents and kids today dress alike,listen to the same music,and are friends.Is this a good thing?Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
"I would never have said to my mom,‘Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?'"says Ballmer."There was just a complete gap in taste."
Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道).
Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.And parent-child activities,from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents."There's still a lot of strictness and authority(权威) on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happening,"says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College."In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents."
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.
"My parents were on the‘before'side of that change,but today's parents,the=40-year-olds,were on the‘after'side,"explains Mr.Ballmer."It's not something easily achieved by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now."
52.The underlined word"gulf"in Para.3most probably meansA.
A.distance
B.interest  
C.similarity
D.cooperation
53.The change in today's parent-child relationship isC.
A.more confusion among children.
B.less respect for parents from children.
C.new equality between parents and children.
D.more strictness and authority on the part of parents.
54.By saying"today's parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the‘after'side."the author means that today's parentsB.
A.can set a limit to the change.
B.follow the trend of the change.
C.fail to take the change seriously.
D.have little difficulty adjusting(适应)to the change.
55.The purpose of the passage is toB.
A.describe the difficulties today's parents have met with.
B.discuss the development of the parent-child relationship.
C.suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship.
D.compare today's parent-child relationship with that in the past.
