“Worrying is like a rocking chair.It gives you something to do,but doesn’t get you anywhere.”This saying has been flowing through my mind these past few weeks.I recently had shoulder surgery,and I am being challenged by new situations in my job.Even though I know challenge is good,I have been worrying here and there.

Will the surgery go well?Will I feel relief from the discomfort I have been experiencing in that shoulder?How will I fit physical therapy into my weekly schedule?Have I prepared my students well for their fall term exams?How will I get all the fall term grades and comments completed by the deadline with other work responsibilities and my son’s birthday party and our eldest daughter coming home from school for Thanksgiving break?The fact is,everything will get done.There are ways to squeeze in work and appointments.What is important is the attitude you have throughout.

Worry and anxiety can feel uncomfortable.Such emotions can trouble us,and as the above saying implies,will keep us stuck in place.If we recognize that these emotions are factoring into a current situation,there is always the opportunity to redirect the energy that goes into worry and anxiety towards faith and action.Faith that you can handle the issue or task at hand and taking action with that faith supporting you as you face challenges.Fleeing away from worry and anxiety is not easy,nor is it without its own strains,but it is possible.How satisfying it feels to complete something you were worried and anxious about.

I will get through this task and healing with faith and action,and with the support and understanding of my family.But,perhaps I should do what a dear friend just told me she did,which was to find a copy of my grandfather Norman Vincent Peale’s landmark book,The Power of Positive Thinking,and reread it.This will be part of my action plan,an action plan that will support my faith and attitude,thus reducing my worry and anxiety.

A.Teachers are easily fed up with their job.

27.What does the author intend us to do in Paragraph 3?

C.Think twice before taking action. 

D.Ignore the troubles in life.

28.What will be the author’s unique way to improve her mood?

BEIJING—Family planning officers will handle the illegal birth case of film director Zhang Yimou by following legal procedures,a government spokesman said on Tuesday,December 10,2013.

When asked to comment on Zhang’s case at a press conference,Yao Hongwen,spokesman for the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC),said “Every citizen is equal before the law and nobody is allowed to have privileges(特权) to give birth to more children than allowed.”

Yao’s comment came after media stories claimed that Zhang had remarried and fathered a total of seven children:one with his former wife,three with his present wife,Chen Ting,and another three from two lovers.

“The NHFPC’s attitude towards citizens’ birth violations(违法) is consistent and clear.Every Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard the seriousness of laws and regulations.”NHFPC spokesman Yao Hongwen said.

China’s family planning policy,introduced in the late 1970s to slow down the country’s growing population,limits most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two.The policy was recently relaxed,allowing couples to have two children if one of them is an only child.

Those who break the policy face severe fines.The amount of the fine is generally several times the yearly annual income of the two spouses(配偶).Some media calculations put the fine that Zhang may face at as much as 160 million yuan (over $26 million).

Zhang’s birth case has caused criticism online about famous people who have more children than the policy allows.

In an open letter on December 1,Zhang admitted that the couple has two sons and daughter and they are willing to accept investigation and punishment according to China’s laws and regulations.He apologized to the public.

However,the letter denied that Zhang had lovers and was father to as many as seven children from various mothers.

Zhang,one of the “fifth generation” of Chinese filmmakers,made his first directorial work in 1987 with “Red Sorghum” and has won a number of award worldwide.He was chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games.

29.The purpose of the news report is to 　　　. 

A.claim that Zhang Yimou remarried and fathered a total of seven children

B.inform us that Zhang’s illegal birth case will be dealt with by the government

C.convince us that Zhang is a famous director and his case will be pardoned

D.confirm that Zhang’s illegal birth case has resulted in lots of criticism online

30.According to Yao Hongwen,which of the following statements is true?

A.Every Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard laws and regulations.

B.Few people have the privileges to give birth to more children than allowed.

C.China’s family planning policy has never been relaxed since introduced.

D.Zhang will be fined as much as 160 million yuan for his violations.

31.Judging from the recent relaxed policy,a couple 　　　. 

A.can have as many as three children if they live in a rural area

B.will definitely be fined if they have two children nowadays

C.can give birth to two children if one of them is an only child

D.can only give birth to two children if they live in an urban area

D

Children grow quickly,especially their feet,but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them.As a result,about 300 million children around the world go barefoot.Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.

An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids—a shoe that grows with the child.Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows.He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.

“It grows in three places:the front;it can also grow on the side with Velcro;and on the back with our buckle.It can last up to five years.The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber.The top is just high-quality leather.”The shoe comes in two sizes:small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.

Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya.“...and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me.And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were.They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out.And I just remember thinking,wouldn’t it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”

However,Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality.“I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that.”Finally,in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International.In the office of Because International,Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise.“I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done.So,those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”

32.Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?

A.They are more expensive. 

B.They are not so comfortable.

C.They can grow with a child. 

D.They come in different sizes.

33.Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?

A.All the teenagers. 

B.Children aged 4 to 14.

C.Middle-aged women in Africa. 

D.Senior citizens with low income.

34.What does Para.4 mainly talk about?

A.How the shoes work. 

B.How Lee got his inspiration.

C.How to make the new shoes. 

D.Where to order this kind of shoes.

35.Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?

A.To remind him of his promise. 

B.To copy the design of them.

C.To get a change conveniently. 

D.To use them as an example.

You’re growing up.That means you’re probably experiencing lots of changes,all at once.Your body is changing.It might even seem as if your entire self is changing.It can be confusing and even scary.　36　 And it’s good! 

Growing up means that you can do more,learn more,and start to make your mark on the world.In order for that to happen,your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow.Hormone levels change constantly,rising and falling.　37　 But it’s partly to blame for intense emotions,surprising reactions,and mood swings. 

Because of the way your brain develops,it is somewhat ruled by emotion now and through your teen years.As a result,growing up can seem like an emotional roller coaster!　38　 

·Take care of yourself.If you eat right,sleep enough,and get good exercise,your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.

·　39　 When you feel your moods swinging or you’re upset,or confused,some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer. 

·Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when you go to bed.　40　 Plus,when stuff happens during the day,you’ll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react.Your body is changing. 

A.Take a time out.

B.But the truth is,it happens to every teen.

C.Work out regularly to keep physically fit.

D.This changing is needed for your body’s development.

E.It will help you fall asleep and start the morning right.

Weeks later I received her reply.She was 　57　 a tough time and my letter meant the 　58　 to her.She didn’t know she had such a(n) 　59　 on others.Not only did this letter make her happy,but her response to it increased my 　60　 of happiness.I decided to write a gratitude letter to someone each month.Cultivating gratitude is a great skill to practice.Life is too short not to do it.
