【題目】To be more grateful in life means that you are also allowing yourself to be happier, more contented and more satisfied with everything that has been going on around you. But with all the stress, all the disappointments and all the anxiety around you, I bet you ask yourself this question all the time: “How exactly can I be more grateful with my life?" 【1】.

1. Learn to live in the moment.

Life is a wonderful adventure full of enriching experiences and endless possibilities. Don't just go through the motions of repetitive (重復(fù)的) activities and boring tasks. No! Being a mindless zombie can make you more likely to take things for granted. 【2】, make an effort to enjoy the experience. You're supposed to attend a conference? Accept it. Babysit your niece? Enjoy the moment. Eat a 15-minute lunch? Taste each bite.

2. 【3】

Being aware of your goal to be more grateful can help you look for things to be really more grateful for. Gratitude is a conscious decision. You have to practice it all the time.

3. Control your thoughts.

Of course you have the power to control what you're thinking of ! Consider this exercise, for example if you find yourself thinking more and more self-entitled, stop. 【4】. You are given consciousness. Make use of it wisely.

4. Always resist the temptation of comparing yourself with other people.

As humans, we have the natural tendency to compare ourselves with others with the hope of getting satisfaction. Actually, this kind of activity does not help you feel more grateful in life.【5】！You will always be meeting someone richer, which makes you feel lower than others!

Don't do it, please.

Every little think counts. You have the ability to make yourself feel more grateful in your life.

A. It does the opposite

B. Express gratitude all the time

C. Appreciate what you have right now

D. And if you find yourself repeating negative junk, stop

E. Instead of doing something just for the sake of doing it

F. Well, the following are some tips to help you with this particular concern

G. Words that stress you and make you feel worthless should definitely be removed

【答案】

【1】F

【2】E

【3】B

【4】D

【5】A

【題目】閱讀理解。

I sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right？” Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother — like all mothers would — still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.

For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.

Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.

However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.

The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents.

【1】That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.

A．was bored and wanted to kill the time

B．wanted to make sure her daughter was alright

C．wanted to help her daughter through the difficulty

D．was sure something was wrong with her daughter

【2】What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?

A．They were often worried about their children.

B．They usually let their children do whatever they liked.

C．They were usually too busy to care about their children.

D．They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.

【3】What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?

A．It is helpless.B．It is necessary.

C．It is nonsense.D．It should be prevented.

【4】The passage is written to show that ________.

A．children don't really have freedom at college

B．social media make our life much easier than before

C．today's parents contact their children more frequently

D．parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social media

【題目】閱讀理解。

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (長(zhǎng)曲棍球) team.He was a Nikeendorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

【1】Bob’s glory days were those ________.

A．when he was doing well in math

B．when he was in second grade

C．when he was made mayor of his building

D．when he showed his talents in sports

【2】From the passage we can tell that Bob is________.

A．a(chǎn)ctive and optimistic

B．clever and determined

C．brave and helpful

D．considerate and independent

【3】Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?

A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.

B．Bob could also have been a sport star.

C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.

D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.

【4】From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________.

A．parents should always study together with their children

B．parents should know how to educate their children properly

C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong

D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents

During her sixty-year career performing, Lena Horne entertained people with her beauty and rich, emotional voice. She used her fame to fight social injustices toward African-Americans.

Lena Horne was born in New York in 1917. At sixteen, Lena became a dancer at the famous Club in New York City. After taking voice lessons, she soon became a singer.

Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant. She refused to play roles that represented African-Americans disrespectfully(無禮的). But this refusal also limited her movie career.
