This man is difficult to ______.

   A deal with    B do with           C be deal with    D be done with

    “Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.”

    Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every

Man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers．Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them， others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them．Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time．For other couples， pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.

Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child， it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task．Yet， unfortunately， few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this remobilization process．Although numerous books have been written about American mothers， only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.

It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father‘s role， although difficult， is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother‘s role．The mother‘s role seems to require complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation; on the other hand， the fathers role is less demanding and immediate．However， even though we mentioned the fact that growing number of women are working outside the home， the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.

　　　 One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 　36　

　　　 Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 　37　 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 　38

what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 　40 , or forget about it and 　41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.

　　　 We all know people who have a relatively 　42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 　43 remain happy.

　　　 The first 　44 is gratitude. All happy people are 　45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 　46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

　　　 The second secret is 　47 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 　48 are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything 　49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 　50 to experience.

　　　 Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 　51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 　54 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 55 your decision to make.

　　　 These dogs can deal with a lot of things and problems in a blind person's life and they are perfect mediators(调解人) between healthy people and sightless ones. They ensure that disabled people can live normal lives and this is the best thing that they can do. Their training for this role, however, is not easy. First they are sent to a normal family and then the dogs are specially trained. They have to learn perhaps 50 different tasks or disciplines. And then, when they are fully trained, they are sent to a new family where they try to make life as normal as possible for their owners.

　　　 When it comes to training guide-dogs there are some more questions you have to think about. For example, how to choose the best dog for this? The best dog breeds (品种) are German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers because they have very good characters, for example they are well-balanced, easy to teach and smarter than other breeds.

　　　 Another thing to think about is how much it costs to train every dog. We have to think of the price too, because it's a very high sum. But I think everybody should try to help blind people because they need it and we can make them happy. And maybe, in the future, I'll become a guide-dog trainer some day because it's a very helpful job.

I really hadn’t meant to yell at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“Ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.
All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers and crawled towards them, “Crabby Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility…) by blaming others. It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book…” Then, in our lifetime, couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
【小题1】The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because________.
