       Whether rich or poor, we all have problems: that unfaithful mate, that annoying colleague, that persistent(持久的) disease, and the investment that is turning into a huge loss.

       How can we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of

 life?

      The following suggestions may help.

      It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and

 unreasonable boss. Sounds familiar? One day I told her, "Look at it this way. You are getting

 paid for the annoyance as well as the work. It comes with the pay. "

      This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. "Take every day as a bo-

nus. " When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole

new attitude.

      It's all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important that we work at resol-

ving problems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would

only compound(使更復(fù)雜) the frustration.

      If you tell yourself there isn' t a problem, there won' t be one. It is all in the mind.

      Stop thinking about your own problem-help others instead. A lady who is struggling a

life-threatening disease showed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering

help to others in a similar situation.

      She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer. She says that the sharing

has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.

      Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in or give up when we meet difficulities?

ls it because we have no confidenee in our cause and no commitment (承擔(dān)義務(wù))for what we

pursue?

      One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy.

She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to assassin's( 暗殺者) bullet--Boddy Kennedy:"And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to

the past, but we shall carry on with courage. "

      Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? I' ve learned that care as you

might, love as,you might, some people don't care back.

      And it is not the end of the world. After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it?

It's what we do about what happens to us.

     It was said that Albert Einstein' s last request on his death bed was to be given his equa-

tions(方程式) and his unfinished statement. Einstein first picked up his equations and lament-

ed(悲嘆) to his son, "if only I had more mathematics!" What a great persistent spirit!

45. All of the followings are wrong EXCEPT_____.

     A. some people have many problems while some have none

     B. Albert Einstein pursued his dream till the last minute of his life

     C. Rose Kennedy must be a timid (缺乏自信的) woman

46. The passage is intended to inform the readers_____ .

     A. how to face problems                       B. how to resolve problems

     C. how to hold on to your dreams               D. how to help others

47. By saying "Take every day as a bonus", the author is trying to tell us __.

     A. we should get a bonus every day     B. we should treasure every day in our life

     C. we should make advances every day  D. we should enjoy ourselves every day

48. The last paragraph of the passage is out of place; it should be put under the subtitle of_____.

     A. It comes with the pay                      B. It' s all in the mind

     C. Never give up on your dream               D. Not the end of the world

Dear Michelle,

       My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses(罵人).I love her but I am ashamed of her.I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal,but it will be 5 years before I am 18 and legal. What am I supposed to do until then?

                                                                                                         Prisoner of a Crazy House

Dear 7th Grader,

       I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feeings about her may change as you get older and mature(成熟).

       While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner,not a loser.

       I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing, So,keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.

       At the same time,try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.

       Unfortunately, you are not alone.Many teens live in homes with immature,misguided, selfish parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.

       But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school,and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!

       Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own fine future.Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.

       Best luck!

                                                                                                                              Michelle

    Will you get a good job？ What will you do？ Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. They’ve invested a lot of money for their diploma（文憑）and now an important question stares them in the fact.

    I’ve seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave，who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike，so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison，who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner，but unfortunately，no one hired her. Why？ No experience.

    Failing to do some solid career exploration first，to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do，is a big error that many college students make. After our suggestion，Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future，follow these effective strategies：

    —Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your natural talents are，and look for positions where you can use them.

    —Don’t rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective tool—be sure it’s a job—hunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4％ of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63％ of all jobs are filled by contacts.

    Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. It’s deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job.

    —Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.

60．What does the author seem to be most probable？
