17．I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming（责备） themselves．One January，I officiated（主持）at two funerals for two elderly women．Both died a natural death．At the first home，the son of the deceased（已故）woman said，"If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow，she would be alive today．It's my fault that she died．"At the second home，the son said，"If only I hadn't insisted on her going to Florida，she would be alive today．That long airplane ride was more than she could take．It's my fault．"
When things don't turn out as we would like them to，we tend to assume（假设）that had we done things differently，the story would have had a happier ending．Any time there is a death，the survivors will feel guilty（内疚）．Because the course of action they took turned out bad，they believe that the opposite course，for example，keeping Mother at home，would have turned out better．After all，how could it have turned out any worse？
There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty．The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense-there is a reason for everything that happens．
The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens，especially the bad things that happen．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood．A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs，and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks．He cries，and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry，people feed him，and when he is wet，people change him．Very often，we do not completely give up that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen．

16．When talking about colds，maybe some people say it is very common．During the cold winter days，many people will complain the cold winter makes them catch a cold，and what they feel upset are not only the headache，cough but also the runny nose．It is so embarrassing when they forget to take a handkerchief along with them．
Want to stay away from colds？Put on a happy face．
Compared（与…比较） to unhappy people，those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds，according to a new study．It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses，say the researchers from New York University．
"It seems that positive（积极的） feelings may reduce （减少）the danger of illness，"said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen．
In an earlier study，Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often．People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill．
In this study，Cohen has interviewed 193adults every day for two weeks．During the interviews，the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days．
The results showed that everyone in the study was equally（相等地） likely to get ill．But for people who said they felt happy during the research period，their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time．
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings，their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness．So if you are worried about your health，look on the brighter side more often．

One afternoon，I was wandering on the street when I saw my brother by the chance．He was behaving very strange．He looked around before going quickly into a shop．When he came down，he had a box in his hand．I knew some villagers turned to steal because they were poor．The thought whether my brother could be one of them drove me crazily．I was determined to find out the truth．When he questioned，tears filled his eyes．He said he was collecting beer bottle from kind shopkeepers，but would feel embarrassing if he was seen by others．I was very sorry that I have misunderstood my brother．

13．My mother is a diligent and kind woman．She is very busy from morning till night．As a teacher，she works hard．（36）GBoth my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us．
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown．She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon．（37）BShe treats them with patience and teaches them well．For her excellent quality and very good teaching results，she has been elected as a model teacher several times．（38）E
Every day，when she comes back home from work，she sets about doing housework，sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture，and putting everything in good order．She seems to be busy all the time．As she has been very busy working every day，she looks older than her age．But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever．Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself，but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us．（39）FShe just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself．She lives a busy yet simple life，without any complaints．
Often she says to us，"work while you work，and play while you play．That is the way to be happy．If you do not work，you will become lazy and be of no use to society"．What a piece of good advice this is!（40）DThis advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior．My mother is great indeed，and I always feel proud of her．

12．Most people around the world are right-handed．This also seems to be true in history．In 1799，scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1，500B．C．to the 1950s．Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed，so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history．Today，only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed．
Why are there more right-handed pople than left-handed ones？Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs．For most people，the hand is used to find things or hold things．The right hand is used to work with things．This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain．The right side of the brain，which makes a person's hands and eyes work together，controls the left hand．The left-side of the brain，which controls the right hand，is the centre for thinking and doing problems．These finding show that more artists should be left-handed，and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs．
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed．Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born．However，this doesn't happen to everyone，so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed．One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents．If a person does not receive the gene（基因） for right-handedness，he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with．
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness，people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual．A long time ago，left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children，but today they don't have to．
32．After studying works of art made at different times in history，the scientists foundD．
A．the art began from 1，500B．C．

B．Today children are not made to use their right hands only．
C．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness．

11．Several years ago I was at a train station waiting in line to buy a ticket．As I stood there I saw a young man asking people for money so that he could buy his breakfast．Most of the travelers simply （56）ignored （ignore） the young man or gave （57）him （he） a dirty look，yet a well-dressed middle-age man reacted differently．When （58）drawn （draw） near by the young man，the gentleman looked （59）at him and quietly asked，"How much will you need？"I couldn't hear（ 60）what the young man said but watched as the gentleman pulled several（ 61）notes （note） from his wallet and （62）calmly （calm） placed them in the young man's hands．
I don't know whether the young man actually used the money for his breakfast or for（ 63）other purpose．What I do know is that I saw two different reactions to the same situation．I saw people who （64）were （be） either afraid or annoyed．And then I saw the gentleman who was not afraid and treated the homeless young man as though he were a brother．I decided then and there that，even though we have to be （65）careful （care） in this world，I would rather be like the gentleman．
