Americans love dogs and usually stop __4__ to anyone with a dog __5__,try to eat in a cafeteria (食堂). People generally share the same tables and will sometimes talk to you __6__ they see that you are a __7__. Next,take your dirty __8__ to a laundry (洗衣)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry,and many people __9__ there,They often pass the __10__ talking to the other customers (顾客). __11__ ask for information from a woman,if you are a __12__,and from a man,if yon are a woman! It seems to get __13__ results for a reason I can't understand．Learn the __14__,“Please”,“Thank yon” and “You're welcome” before yon come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术).
There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't tell the truth when people __15__“How are you?” They only __16__ the answer to be “Fine”. Never ask people their __17__--especially woman! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they are losing __18__ Everyone here wants to be __19__. Don't be late for appointment (约会)!

We want our kids to use the Internet, and yet we worry. But we can find ways to direct our children away from what’s wrong, towards what’s best.
The most effective way to monitor a kid’s online activity is to monitor it. That is, to stand beside the computer from time to time when your child is at it.
Carleton Kendrick suggests that accompanying your child to a website he often visits is no different from "checking out a playground where your kids go, to see that it’s safe."
In any e-mail program, a look at the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of your kids’ communicators .
America Online allows parents to limit incoming e-mails to a finite list of communicators. Some parents also type their kids’ names into a search engine to discover what they’re saying on websites or message boards.
Understand that as kids get older and demand more privacy, some basic know-how comes into play. America Online has been particularly effective in helping parents give their children an online experience: a "kids-only" AOL account prevents young users from all but full time-monitored chat rooms. Katherine Borsecnik , president at AOL, notes, however, that "if I have a child who’s doing a report on breast cancer, I might want to turn off the filters (过滤器）" since kids-only access would block websites with even straight medical information about breast.
Many parents don’t know that a simple click on the "history" tab will produce a list of links to every website the computer . Bonnie Fell opens all the files that have been downloaded by her two sons at least once a month―"whether the boys are there or not. Although they know it." As Jim Lynch, who manages message boards for the Boston-based Family Education. com, says, "Parents are the basic filter."
76．What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
.
77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following sentence?
However, it’s possible for us to help children head for the best not the wrong on the Internet.
78．Fill in the blank with proper words or phrases. (Please answer within 10 words.)
79．According to the passage, What do you think the parents can do to direct children on the Internet? (Please list at least 2 ways and answer within 30 words.)
80．Put the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese.

根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
| A．Focus on your relationships． B．Think about what to do next step． C．Take good care of your body． D．Try to avoid over thinking． E．Set up a proper goal for yourself． F．Practice acts of kindness． |
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years．
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day．
【小题1】________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky．“But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem．Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer．”
Get rid of pessimism．One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy．“What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills．”
【小题2】________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive．Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier．Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier．For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride．”
【小题3】________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness．
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life．But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones．
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky．“But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them．”
【小题4】________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky．“Happy people all have goals they care about．”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn．But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times．
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals．Adopt and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky．“Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job．”
【小题5】________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips．Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good．”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC．It will go a long way in boosting your happiness．“Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home．” 查看习题详情和答案>>
