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．

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!

13．A．recently        B．affects        C．pattern        D．varies      E．movesF．warm          G．regularly       H．special       I．effect       J．evidence
Big climate changes in the last million years might have come from something very small：dust from outer space．Earth changes between ice ages and warm periods in a （n）（36）C that includes several cycles，including a（37）H one that lasts 100，000years．Scientists（38）A suggested this cycle might be due to changes in the inflow of cosmic dust．
The idea is that Earth（39）E above and below the imaginary orbit that runs through the sun and Jupiter，completing a cycle every 100，000years．So maybe it（40）G meets amounts of dust during each cycle that produce the climate trend．
Now there is some（41）J，from ancient cosmic dust near the Azores islands west of Portugal．The large quantity of the dust rises and falls with a wonderful 100，000year cycle during the period 253，000years to 458，000years ago．Periods of more dust are related to（42）F climates．
But that is a long way from showing that the dust（43）B climate．Some scientists argue that it is not clear how cosmic dust would make the climate warmer while dust from volcanoes is known to make it cooler．They say the cosmic dust is so thin that it is hard to see how it could have any climate（44）I．

17．Ever since I was a kid I had a 6second rule．That means that if I had something I needed to do but didn't want to，I'd count till 6 and do it anyway．My personal rule was to just never ever break that rule，that at 6，I HAD to get it going．Most of the time I'd use it to get out of bed or get out of the bath．Sometimes I'd also use it to restrict my time playing"ok in 6seconds I'll stop playing with my dolls．"
As I grew older，I'd use it as a motivation to get it going with my homework，get off messenger，etc．It really worked well，the same rule applied；whatever happens，don't cheat the"rule of 6．"Most of the time，I wouldn't even have to count till 6 because I knew it would just mean I d have to do it，so I'd just do it anyway．As an adult，I've pretty much conditioned myself to do things by the rule of 6．I've pretty much mastered most usual things in my life but the rule of 6never fails me when I start something new．Exercising，running，getting cooking，starting reading，it just works for me．
At the time，when I was 6，6 was my favorite number．So just go ahead and pick a number from 1-10 （although Id suggest 3-10）and try it．The important thing is not just to let yourself down．Like any other trick，it only works if you allow it to．

7．Why does most of the world travel on the right side today？Theories differ，but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence．The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century．Some say that before the French Revolution，noblemen drove their carriages on the left，forcing the peasants to the right．Regardless of the origin，Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered，including Russia，Switzerland and Germany．Hitler，in turn，ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s．Nations that escaped right-hand control，like Great Britain，followed their left-hand tradition．
The U．S．has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers； earlier in its history，carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left，as it did in England．But by the late 1700s，people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift （改变） to the right．A driver would sit on the rear （后面的） left horse in order to wave his whip （鞭子） with his right hand； to see opposite traffic clearly，they travelled on the right．
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U．S．occurred in the 20th century，when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left （ the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog：the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge，especially if there is a lady to be considered）．Once these rules were set，many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard，including Canada in the 1920s，Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970．The U．K．and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world's few remaining holdouts（坚持不变者）．Several Asian nations，including Japan，use the left as well-though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars．
9．Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right？C
A．They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century．
B．Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right．
C．Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country．
D．Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition．
10．Of all the countries below，the one that travels on the right isA．
A．Austria              
B．England             
C．Japan                
D．Australia
11．Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the leftB．
A．in order to change traffic directions in the U．S．
B．so that passengers could get off conveniently
C．because rules at that time weren't perfect
D．though many countries were strongly against that
12．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？C
A．Before the French Revolution，all the French people used the right．
B．People in Britain and the U．S．travel on the same side nowadays．
C．The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970．
D．All the Asian nations use the left at present．
