All you have is what you bring with you

I’ve always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I’ve found myself in.

My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.

“I’ll be right back.” she said.

She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “I’ll need to be paid.”

I didn’t realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.

By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her!”

Now that I’m an adult, you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it.

I’ve always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb (灯泡) on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.

“It’s Okay.” he announced. “There’s nothing to worry, about.”

We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector. Who could even think of that?

I often told my students, “When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you.” And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared.

1.Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases?

A. The boy was shopping by himself.

B. The cashier was playing a joke on him.

C. The boy’s mother asked her to do so.

D. The boy’s mother was away for something else.

2.Why was the boy angry with his mother?

A. His mother left him alone.

B. His mother forgot to buy something.

C. He lost face in front of the cashier.

D. He had just quarreled with the cashier.

3.Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?

A. He was always well-prepared.

B. His presentation was about bulbs.

C. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.

D. He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.

4.What do the two stories tell us?

A. Accidents happen almost every day.

B. Money is the key that opens all doors.

C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.

D. Chances favor those who are well-prepared.

With all of the wonderful things life brings us, it also brings us stress. It is for this reason that I am an active supporter of mental health days.

Although it’s never good to ignore(忽视) responsibilities, sometimes it is good to unplug(拔除) from the world for a day. We eat healthy and stay active to keep us from getting sick, but sometimes we forget to care for our minds. Our minds and bodies are connected, and when only one is being cared for, the other may be suffering. It is important to try to combine self care with our lives and spend time on activities we enjoy. This helps relieve stress on a daily day.

So, what do you do on a mental health day? The answer is anything you want. Growing up, my brother and I were allowed a few mental health days a year. We would stay home from school and relax. For him, it was playing games on the computer, while my days were spent reading or watching TV. My mental health days now include picking things up around my apartment, cooking a tasty meal, and then reading for a few hours. I completely shut myself off from work or school. To me, this is relaxing. Organize the clutter(凌乱的东西) that piles up during the week, cook the meals I don’t have time to cook, and read the books that I’ve bought but don’t have time to read.

A mental health day is great, but only if it’s supplemented(增补) with self care through the week. From my experience, if self care is not regularly provided in your week, taking a mental health day is just going to stress you out even more. But when it’s needed, try hard to recognize that and take care of yourself. It will help keep you happy and healthy. A mental health day is not a day to avoid life, it is a day to recoup(恢复).

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?

A. People tend to ignore their mental health.

B. People should care for each other.

C. One should have a strong sense of responsibility.

D. Mental health is less important than physical health.

2.According to the author, on a mental health day people should _______.

A. stay at home alone.　　 B. enjoy outdoor activities

C. do something meaningful.　　 D. do whatever they want.

3.What did the author’s brother do on mental health days as a kid?

A. He cooked for his family.　　 B. He played computer games.

C. He watched TV programs　　 D. He read the books he bought.

4.According to the last paragraph, to keep mentally healthy, _______.

A. one needs help and care from other.

B. leading a regular life is unnecessary.

C. mental health days are not enough.

D. one should try to be physically friendly.

When I first began to work with international students, I asked someone at a lunch, “What brings you here today?” Looking at me like I was a bit crazy, he answered, “ The bus.” That was my first realization that no matter how good a speaker is, there are phrases that will always tend to cause confusion to non-native speakers. These idiomatic phrases(惯用语) add color and interest to any language and are worth learning if you want to talk fluently with native speakers.

“By no stretch”----The speaker is referring to something that’s very hard to achieve or realize, even with great effort, as in “It was not a good meal, by any stretch of the imagination.” Which means that ______________.

“Half dead”----An expression of extreme tiredness, having nothing to do with actual health. Commonly used at the end of a long and tiring day.

“By the book”----This means that an action should follow the rules exactly. It also describes the nature of someone who won’t deviate(背离) from a set of rules no matter what the situation is.

“More power to you”----This isn’t a wish for you to have better electricity from the power company----it’s a statement, usually slightly ironic(讽刺的), that the speaker thinks that you are unlikely to do a task, but you should try if you think you can complete it. It generally means the speaker has no intention of helping you achieve your goal neither will they discourage you from attempting to reach it. For example, “I don’t think you can meet that deadline, but more power to you.”

“As easy as pie”----A reference that something is as simple or easy as eating a delicious dessert, or that it requires little effort to successfully achieve. In chatting, this phrase does not refer to the process of cooking or eating.

1.The example given by the author in the first paragraph is used to show__________.

2.According to the passage, which of the following would be proper to fill in the blank in Paragraph 2?

3.If someone says he is half dead, he means____________.

4.If a person daren’t do things in a creative way, you may describe him by using “__________”.
