     Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents'
home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,
where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款臺(tái)),
I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
     I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped
and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas
station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way to the city, and when I got
out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
     I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present
from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
     Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my
car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery (電池) was dead. Then I noticed that the
Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in
the showroom.
     "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck
to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say
thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and
say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
     "Thank you"-two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

    help her too.Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out.Want to try?"
         "But it won't be the same without Grandma, "  I tell him.
         "That's true, "  he says, "but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still, I don't think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say?" I nod yes, and we walk towards home...

    閱讀理解
         I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or
    unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these
    statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by
    a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the
    1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety
    today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
         Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
    isolation(隔離) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other
    things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
          Considering that we_can't_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next
    generation.
         At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No
    child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against
    stress.
          To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.
    Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will
    get more sleep.
         Limit the amount of virtual(虛擬的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video
    games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
         Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended
    Harvard or Yale.
         Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide
    a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.
     
    1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50
        years ago ________.
    A. probably suffered less from anxiety
    B. were considered less individualistic
    C. were less isolated physically
    D. were probably less selfcentered

    2. What does the author mean by saying "we can't turn the clock back" in the third paragraph?
    A. It's impossible to forget the past.
    B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.
    C. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
    D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

    3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________.
    A. illogical  
    B. confusing
    C. surprising  
    D. questionable

    4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.
    B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.
    C. Exercise does not help to lessen children's anxiety.
    D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.

    5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________.
    A. to lower their expectations for them
    B. to set a good model for them to follow
    C. to get them more involved socially
    D. to improve them with a safer environment
