One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 1. .
When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 2. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
3.Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision.
4. How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 5. If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
A. Analyze the facts.
B. Accept what can’t be avoided.
C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.
F. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.
G. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

"Why do we have to learn all this dumb stuff?"
Of all the complaints and questions I have heard from my students during my years in the classroom, this was the one most frequently asked. I would answer it by telling the following legend.
One night a group of nomads(游牧民) were preparing to retire for the evening when suddenly they were surrounded by a great light. They knew they were in the presence of a godly being. With great expectation, they awaited a heavenly message of great importance that they knew must be especially for them.
Finally, the voice spoke, "Gather as many pebbles (鹅卵石) as you can. Put them in your bags. Travel a day's journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will find you sad."
The nomads shared their disappointment and anger with each other. They had expected the
inspiration of a great universal truth that would enable them to create wealth, health and purpose for the world. But instead they were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all. However, the memory of the brilliance of their visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles and store them in their bags while voicing their displeasure.
They traveled a day's journey and that night while making camp, they reached into their bags and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond. They were glad they had diamonds. They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles.
It was an experience I had with a student, whom I shall call Alan, early in my teaching career that illustrated the truth of that legend to me.
When Alan was in the eighth grade, he majored in "trouble" with a minor in "suspensions (停学)". He had studied how to be a bully and was getting his master's degree in "thievery".
Every day I had my students memorize a quotation from a great thinker. As I called roll, I would begin a quotation. To be counted present, the student would be expected to finish the thought.
"Alice Adams--- 'There is no failure except..."'
"'In no longer trying.' I'm present, Mr. Schlatter."
So, by the end of the year, my young pupils would have memorized 150 great thoughts.
"People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing."
"No pains, no gains."
"If you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it."
No one complained about this daily routine other than Alan - right up to the day he was expelled(开除) and I lost touch with him for five years. Then one day, he called. He was in a special program at one of the neighboring colleges and had just finished parole(假释).
He told me that after being sent to juvenile hall (少管所) and finally being shipped off to the
California Youth Authority for his wrong doings, he had become so disgusted with himself that he had taken a razor blade and cut his wrists.
He said, "You know what, Mr. Schlatter, as I lay there with my life running out of my body, I
suddenly remembered that quote you made me write 20 times one day." There is no failure except in no longer trying." Then it suddenly made sense to me. As long as I was alive, I wasn't a failure, but if I allowed myself to die, I would most certainly die a failure. So with my remaining strength, I called for help and started a new life."
At the time he had heard the quotation, it was a pebble. When he needed guidance in a moment of crisis, it had become a diamond. And so it is to you I say, gather all the pebbles you can, and you can count on a future filled with diamonds.
1.What does the underlined sentence "it will find you sad" mean?
A.The God told the nomads to gather pebbles that made no sense to them.
B.The pebbles won't enable the nomads to create fortune.
C.The God didn't give the nomads the message they expected.
D.The nomads regretted not having gathered as many pebbles as possible.
2.Which of following sentences from the passage brings out the author's sense of humor?
A.They were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all. (Para. 5)
B.He majored in "trouble" with a minor in "suspensions. (Para. 8)
C.People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing. (Para. 13)
D.You can count on a future filled with diamonds. (Para. 19)
3.Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A.Not all the nomads gathered and stored some pebbles in their bags.
B.Students who finished the half-sentence quotation were counted present.
C.All students don't like the daily routine of finishing the half-sentence quotation.
D.It was the strong faith of never dying a failure that saved Alan's life.
4.Why did Alan commit suicide after being shipped off to the California Youth Authority?
A.He hated the hard life in the juvenile hall.
B.He was expelled by the school in the end.
C.He was badly treated at the California Youth Authority.
D.He felt so disappointed and hopeless about himself and his future.
5.According to the passage, we can conclude that Mr. Schlatter is an educator of _____.
A.sympathy and kindness B.wisdom and patience
C.generosity and creativity D.faith and devotion
6.Which of the following may probably be the best title?
A.A naughty trouble-marker. B.Pebbles and nomads.
C.The magic pebble. D.A quotation that saved life.

Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within.The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum,let it slide. I’ll just drift along.” Here’s one problem with drifting:you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain.
The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise.It will steal your chances for a better future.Take a sword to this enemy.
The third enemy inside is doubt.Sure,there’s room for healthy skepticism.You can’t believe everything.But you also can’t let doubt take over.Many people doubt the past, doubt the future,doubt each other,doubt the government,doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.________, they doubt themselves.I’m telling you,doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.It will empty both your bank account and your heart.Doubt is all enemy.Get rid of it.
The fourth enemy within is worry.We’ve all got to worry some.Just don’t let it conquer you.Instead, let it alarm you.Worry can be useful.If you step off the curb (路边) in New York City and a taxi is coming,you’ve got to worry.But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner.Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries:drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you,you’ve got to get it.Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back.
The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (胆小的) approach to life.Timidity is not a virtue;it’s an illness.If you let it go,it’ll conquer you.Timid people don’t get promoted.They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace.You’ve got to avoid overcaution.

The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphone’s interruption of our thoughts.
We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is in generally a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.
The concept of being unreachable is not new – we have “Do Not Disturb” signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?
The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass use of cellphones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We came to take it for granted.
But cellphones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cellphone devotees, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse this invention.
But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. That we have the right to take back our private time is a general social recognition.
In other words, we don’t have to pay too much attention to the rings of our own phones. Given the ease of making and receiving cellphone calls, if we don’t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.
A cellphone call deserves no more importance than a word from the person next to us. Though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg–who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off, thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.
1..
What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cellphones?
A. It is a way to show that you don’t like the caller.
B. It is natural to tell lies about small things.
C. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.
D. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.
2..
What is the meaning of the underlined word “devotees” in Paragraph 5?
A. people who enjoy something. B. people who are bothered.
C. people who hate something. D. people who are interrupted.
3..
. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cellphones?
A. People are always thinking of the cellphone rings so that they fail to notice anything else.
B. Cellphones interrupt people’s private time.
C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cellphones.
D. With cellphones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.
4..
. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.
B. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.
C. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cellphone.
D. Never let cellphones disturb your life too much.

One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird, 1a sparrow.

Our sense of hearing is one of the most important means of knowing what is going on around us. We are warned of danger by sounds. The sounds of music please us. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.
Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals and are alarmed by what they have learned.
Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is no joke. It is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
Sound is measured in units called decibels (分贝). At a level of 140 decibels people feel pain in their ears.
Trucks, buses, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, and factories all make noise. This noise bothers not only our ears, but our minds and bodies as well.
There is a saying about "it is so noisy that you can't hear yourself think". Doctors who study noise believe that we must be able to hear ourselves think most of the time. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even mental problems. Noise adds even more tension to a society which already faces too much stress.
1.The sense of hearing _______.
A.makes people feel angry
B.makes people want to dance
C.helps people to know what is happening around them
D.is something harmful to people
2.When sound is turned into noise, _______.
A.people become ill B.it makes people forget the past
C.people don't know how to deal with it D.it becomes a kind of pollution
3.Why does the passage say " Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find " ?
A.Sounds of over 140 decibels are common these days.
B.There are always wars going on in the world.
C.The world is making more and more noise.
D.All kinds of machines make noises.
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Scientists are warning people noise can be harmful.
