26、 If practicing an attitude of gratitude during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.
If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It maybe only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:
●You’re in debt...but you’re not homeless.
●You lost your job...but you didn’t lose your health.
●You broke your leg...but you didn’t break your neck.
●Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease...but your father doesn’t.
No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything — but you can always be thankful for something.
【1】The passage is intended for those who ________.
A.have done a lot for others B.don’t know how to be thankful
C.have something to do in return D.have met with difficulties in life
【2】The writer thinks it ________ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.
A.impossible B.necessary
C.understandable D.helpful
【3】How many “terrible things that didn’t happen” are listed in this passage?
A.Two. B.Four.
C.Three. D.Five.
【4】How is the passage organized?
A.Explanation—Comparison—Topic B.Introduction—Discussion—Conclusion
C.Comparison—Argument—Explanation D.Argument—Opinion—Discussion
27、Marian Wright Edelman, an American lawyer, educator and children’s rights activist, was born on June 6, 1939 in South Carolina, one of five children. Her father Arthur Wright was a preacher (牧师) who died when she was only 14 years old. In his last words to her, he advised her not to “let anything get in the way of your education.”
After high school, Edelman went on to study at Spelman College and later traveled to the Soviet Union. When she returned to Spelman in 1959, Edelman became involved in the civil rights movement.

She served as a public speaker on behalf of these children.
During a tour, Marian met Peter Edelman, an assistant to Kennedy, and the next year she moved to Washington, D.

Edelman is the author of many books for children and adults.

Choose from any of the off-the-shelf themes---“holiday”, “travel”, “friendship” and “party” for example—each matched with its own theme music and slide background. But if you’re not satisfied with the combinations, feel free to do a little change by adding text to the pictures or replacing the music with something in your own playlist.

30、 By the end of the 20th century, TV show producers had begun to turn to the cheapest performers available — their audience. It seemed that anyone who wanted fame could _______ it. And some people wanted it far too much.
Richard and Mayumi Heene, _______ , launched a large balloon 2,000 meters into the air and then called a TV network to say that their six-year-old son, Falcon, was inside it. Planes were re-routed and Denver International Airport was briefly _______ . However, Falcon was later found to have been hiding in the family’s garage the whole time. The “balloon boy” incident turned out to be a hoax (骗局) and the Heenes were _______ of doing it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows. Instead, they got a fine and a short sentence each — but they were certainly _______ for a while.
So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. According to one recent survey, 30 percent of adults regularly daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us expect to _______ some kind of fame in our lifetimes. Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be famous? Do we really want every _______ of our private lives exposed in newspapers and discussed on television? Some people, such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem ill-euipped to deal with this kind of _______, despite their talent. Boyle gained international fame for her extraordinary singing voice after appearing on TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent and her first album became the fastest-selling of all time in the U.K. But the sudden fame didn’t seem easy for her at first, and after the final of the show, Boyle was _______ to a private psychiatric clinic.
Furthermore, people who achieve fame often don’t seem to like it once they have it. A survey of celebrities found that they worry about the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy, and the __________ on their children. These are hardly worries that __________ people have to deal with. They also, __________, worry about what would happen if they were no longer famous. And there are plenty of people to ask about that. Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlight for several months afterwards. When it ended, however, he __________ his job as a toilet cleaner. “I know I’m a nobody,” he said when the attention had __________.
