A

Many years ago, Dr Cronin occasionally wrote an unusual treatment for some of his patients who were feeling down. He would insist that for six weeks the pa?tients say "Thank you" for every kindness and he had a great cure rate.

Everyone gets down at times, and sharpening your sense of gratitude(感激)can make a difference. I have observed again and again that people's hap?piness is not usually found in getting what they want; it comes from apprecia?ting what they have.

Writer Arthur Gordon used to tell about asking a doctor friend for the name of the most effective treatment he knew. "Well, I'll tell you," his friend said. "A colleague of mine once had a woman patient who suffered from de?pression. The usual prescription didn't seem to help."

One day this doctor sent a small package to the woman's home. "I want you to take what's in this package," he said, "and spend ten minutes every?day looking through it at some objects in this room.,,

In the package there was a magnifying glass(放大鏡).She began looking at her sofa. She was amazed at what she saw. Then she examined a flower picked from her garden and even her own skin. She was amazed at the brand new world opening up before her eyes.

As this woman gazed at her world through a magnifying glass, she saw, in a completely different way, what had been around her all along. Her sense of wonder gave way to another more powerful emotion―gratitude. The doctor said that her experience with the glass was the turning point of her illness. She began to appreciate what she had and get well.

Do you practise gratitude? 1 think you'll discover that it is a great way to keep happy.

3.What did the doctor probably want the woman to understand?

We all know the importance of curiosity, and here are some tips on how to develop it.

Keep an open mind. This is essential if you are to have a curious mind. Be open to learning, unlearning, and relearning things. 9 Therefore, you should be prepared to accept this possibility and change your mind.

10 Most people just accept the world as it is. This way, they will certainly lose the "holy curiosity". Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions. What, why, when, who, where, and how are the questions curious people always ask.

Don't label anything as boring. Whenever you label something as boring, you close one more door of possi?bilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring. 11 Even if they don't yet have time to ex?plore them, they will leave the door open to be visited another time.

Take learning as something fun. If you see learning as a burden, there's no way you will want to dig deeper into anything. That will just make the burden heavier. However, if you think of learning as something fun, you will naturally want to dig deeper. 12

Read diverse materials. It will introduce you to the possibilities and excitement of other worlds which may attract your interest in exploring further. One easy way to do this is through reading diverse materials. 13 It'll feed your mind with the excitement of a new world.

A.    Never take things as granted.

B.    Don't spend too much time on just one world.

C.    Try to pick a book or a magazine on a new subject.

D.    Some things you know and believe might be wrong.

E.    It doesn't matter that you don't agree to others' opinions.

F.    Instead t they always see these things as a door to a new exciting world.

G.    So look at life through the glasses of fun and enjoy the learning process.

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One re?sult is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic,

and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

However , today , more and more consumers are choosing " green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the envi?ronmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are "green", that is* friendly to the environment.

Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in super?markets ,but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufactur-ing(生產(chǎn))of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it". The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1.     It is clear from the passage that the driving force (動力)behind green prod?ucts is .

 

A.     public caring for the environment

B.     rapid development of companies

C.     new ways of doing business

D.     rapid growth of supermarkets

2.     The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to " ".

 

A.     the selling point

B.     the company's products

C.     a great demand for healthful goods

D.     the manufacturing of green products

3.     What would be the best title of the passage?

 

A.     Business and people

B.     Shopping habits are changing

C.     Business goes green

D.     Supermarkets and green products

Tyler Perry was born on September 13, 1969, in New Orleans. He had a difficult childhood, suffering years of abuse(虐待)at the hands of his father.

One day, watching Oprah Winfrey's talk show, Perry was inspired by a comment about how writing about difficult experiences could lead to personal breakthroughs. He started a series of letters to himself, which became the ba?sis for the musical I Knoxv I've Been Changed, While the show was about child abuse, it also touched on forgiveness―a main theme in many of his works. Perry put on the show at an Atlanta theater in 1992. The musical's run lasted only one weekend and drew only 30 people to see the show.
