"Start out at that end，"she said，"Just go along the line and choose what you want．At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to  pay"
"I soon learned that's how everything works in America，"the grandfather told my friend later，"Life's a cafeteria here．You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price．You can even get success，but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to brin it to you．You have to get up and get it yourself．"

16．Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that in order to achieve contentment，one should"cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you，and to give thanks continuously．"It turns out Emerson-who explored the meaning of a good life in much of his work-wasn't far off when it comes to What we now know about counting one's blessings．Research is continually finding that expressing thanks can lead to a healthier，happier and less-stressed lifestyle．
How can we，as Emerson advised，be thankful for each thing that contributes to our lives？Below are four habits that could help you cultivate gratitude on a daily basis．
Keep a journal．-Research has shown that writing down what you're thankful for can lead to a range of wellness benefits．Keeping a gratitude journal can reinforce positive thoughts-something particularly helpful as the brain tends to naturally focus on what goes wrong．Putting pen to paper can also help you make more progress as you work toward personal goals．In order to reap the full benefits of keeping a journal，Dr Robert Emmons，gratitude researcher and psychology professor at the University of California，Davis，recommends writing for five to 10 minutes every other day．"You really need to commit to doing it，and if you write it down eventually it will become more automatic，"Emmons says．"It's like exercise-you're not just going to get up one morning and go running，you need to have a plan．
Don't avoid the negative．-Expressing gratitude has been proven to generate more optimism，but thankful people also don't shy away from the negative．Emmons says that while we often associate gratitude with focusing on the good and avoiding the bad，the key to leading a thankful life is embracing setbacks as part of your overall journey．Emmons suggests recalling a hard time you once experienced-chances are，you'll start to feel grateful for your current state and for overcoming former challenges．
Spend time with loved ones．-Thankful people know they didn't get to where they are by themselves-and they make it a habit to spend time with those people who matter most．"Gratitude really helps us connect to other people，"Emmons says．"It actually strengthens relationships and relationships are the strongest predictors of happiness and coping with stress．"Expressing appreciation for loved ones can also help create closeness by allowing others to see how you look at them．According to Dr．Michael E．McCullough，a University of Miami researcher，your feelings of gratitude benefit more than just yourself．"More than other emotion，gratitude is the emotion of friendship，"McCullough told the New York Times in 2011．"It is part of a psychological system that causes people to raise their estimates of how much value they hold in the eyes of another person．"
Volunteer．-Everyone needs a little help sometimes-and grateful people know there's no other way to acknowledge this than by paying it forward．In his book"Thanks!，"Emmons notes that those who volunteer often feel grateful for the experience to give back．"Since service to others helped them to find their own inner spirituality，they were grateful for the opportunity to serve，"he wrote．As recent research published in BMC Public Health points out，volunteering can result in fewer feelings of depression and increased overall well-being．Emmons suggests examining your own talents and use them to help others，noting that people become more grateful as givers rather than receivers．

65．According to the research，is an important factor in having a healthy lifestyle．A
A．expressing gratitude
B．cultivating good living habits
C．a(chǎn)chieving contentment
D．exploring the meaning of life
66．According to Dr．Robert Emmons and Davis，what's important in keeping a gratitude journal？D
A．reinforcing positive thoughts．
B．reaping full benefits．
C．doing exercises regularly．
D．committing to writing．
67．What can we learn form paragraph 4？B
A．We should learn to hide from negative things．
B．The hard times we have experienced may be valuable to us．
C．It is easy to have a thankful life as long as have confidence．
D．Sometimes thankful people are negative when facing hardships．
68．Emmon's words on paragraph 5 suggest that．A
A．gratitude enhances relationships between people
B．a(chǎn) feeling of gratitude generates appreciation for loved ones
C．thankful people like to spend time with others
D．people should make a habit of being with others
69．What does the last paragraph implyB？
A．Those who receive help will feel a bit depressed．
B．Those who volunteer to help others will show more gratitude．
C．When offered help，you'll feel grateful to the service．
D．When offering help，you will feel grateful for your inner spirituality．
70．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．Gratitude for achieving contentment
B．Ways of Having a Healthier Lifestyle
C．Four Habits to Make You a Grateful person
D．Gratitude Contributing to Success．

3．Nearly every driver has experienced that feeling of great tiredness，where it becomes almost impossible to stay awake at the wheel.14-year-old Katherine Wu is too young to have experienced this situation firsthand．However，she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back from their family vacations in Florida to their home in Maryland．Her mom had to talk to her dad all the way．
"So I created a tool that can be used instead of my mum talking to my dad to make sure he stays awake and is safe，"she says．
Her invention，"Drivers'Companion"，can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road．
The user wears a headset，which sends information about the driver's brain waves to a tiny computer．The computer can be placed in front of the driver．The system then gives warnings，if needed．As the driver becomes sleepier，red color will be shown to warn him or her．The driver will also hear messages warning him to get off the road．The machine can say，"You're tired．Please take a break．"
After sending her invention to the 2016Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge，Wu was chosen as a finalist and was able to work with Dr．Jess Miller，who is a product development specialist．
"He helped me understand how important it is to make sure that my invention worked for the people who were using it and that it was user-friendly，"Wu says．
As a young scientist，Wu has some advice for other students of her age：I would like to tell them that they should choose something they're interested in．So they will be willing to spend more time on it and enjoy working on it more．Also，when there's difficulty，they should just continue working hard because they'll get over it"

25．What is the purpose of"Driver's Companion"？．C
A．To show drivers the way
B．To prevent drunk driving

13．Papa's Straw HatPapa was a ranger．He worked with horses．He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked．His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat-large black hat of heavy wool．He wore his hat full and high．I think he wanted to look taller than he really was．
Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes．But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather．She began to talk about his hats．
"Papa，"she said one day，"why don't you get a nice cool straw hat？That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!"Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn't recognize him if he changed the hat．But she didn't believe him．
Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long．At last papa answered，a little angry，"It would not the cowboy hat but a wife's talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair．"
Mama had a very serious look on her face．She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat．It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money．She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat，papa would wear it．When papa saw the hat，his face got red．Without a word，he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses．
He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses．But as papa got close to the horses this time，they jumped high into the air，raising their front feet．All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn．Papa began to shout"Woo boys．Steady boys，steady．"But there was nothing equal to．
Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen，pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama，in a way that even frightened me．"Now listen to me，mama．Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like．"Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house．
I never heard mama talk any more about hats．Perhaps，that is why when papa died many years later，there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair．

24．According to the passage，a ranger isD．
A．a(chǎn) person wearing a woolen hat
B．a(chǎn) position requiring clean clothes
C．a(chǎn) person riding a carriage with horses

A．she was worried about his health
B．most cowboys preferred to wear it
C．a(chǎn) woolen one didn't suit papa
D．it was cheap and she could save money
26．What quality can we learn from papa？D
A．Gentle．B．Patient．C．Modest．D．Committed．
27．It can be learned from the story thatC．
A．papa didn't love the straw hat and mama
B．protecting hair was very important
C．this family were not rich but diligent
D．a(chǎn) cowboy hat was useful on farming．
