It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery：Giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-awayIf an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in all unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home，though it was addressed to me at my OfficeI wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a postoffice box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left，and that my name would have to go on a long waiting listAs I was about to leave，the postmaster appeared in the doorwayHe had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation“Wasnt it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes“Well，you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for youYou dont know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints21.

According to the author _ A. giving means you will lack money B. the excitement of giving can bring you money C. you dont have to be rich in order to give D.when you give away money，you will be rich23. The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper _Ain writing Bin person C in the window display Dabout the neighborhood24. When the author needed a post-office box，_A. he had to put his name on a waiting list B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him25. In reply to the postmasters question, the author said _Ait was the special delivery Bit was the post-office boxCit was the note of appreciation he wrote Dit was he who wrote him a letter a year agoBEvery day, all across the nation, as many as one in four children refuse to go to school. The reasons are various. School refusal formerly known as school phobia, is an actual anxiety-based disorder. Because many children are unclear about their complaints and unable to be sure what is making them anxious, it is sometimes regarded as typical childhood willfulness. However, the effects of constant school refusal can be far-reaching for your childs education. So, where is the line between whats normal and whats not? You need to look at whether it is affecting the child or the familys daily functioning, explains Christopher Kearney, Ph.D. In other words, if a childs grades are suffering from frequent absences or a parents job is disturbed, it is time to look closely at the issue. Parents should listen carefully to children who say they cant go to school because of untestable things, such as stomachaches or headaches. While these complaints alone dont necessarily indicate school refusal, there may be deeper problems if combined with general complaints about school, talks of threats at school and so on. There are different kinds of behavior in school refusal. Some children that are influenced by their friends skip school to hang out with their friends, showing a sense of rebellion (叛逆). Some children cling to their mothers leg, screaming at the thought of having to enter the school building. However, that doesnt mean that getting a child back into the classroom is impossible. According to Maryann Roth, a school psychologist and guidance counselor, parents should attempt to make sure the child gets to school, no matter how hard it is. Working closely with school officials and possibly a therapist to create a plan is a necessary step.26. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Childrens education problem is mainly caused by school refusal.B. Childrens such complaints as untestable things can totally be ignored.C. Friends skip can have an effect on childrens school refusal.D. School refusal has close relation to childrens mood.27. According to the second paragraph, children probably refuse to go to school because _.A. they are suffering from illnessB. they are afraid of endless tests C. they want to stay with their parentsD. they feel bored and unsafe at school28. When facing school refusal by their children, parents should _.A. take the problem seriously if their daily life is disturbedB. discuss the seriousness of school refusal with their childrenC. take their children to see the doctor immediately D. keep their children away from their rebellious friends29. We can learn from the text that _. A. it is mainly the teachers responsibility to keep the children at school B. children wont tell their parents about their deeper reasons for school refusalC. it is impossible to get children who often skip school to go back D. parents should try to work out what causes their childrens school refusal 30. The text intends to _. A. explain that school refusal is a symptom of an illnessB. explain the phenomenon of school refusalC. remind parents to take good care of their children D. explain that school refusal is normal and not seriousCWith all the responsibilities we face in our daily lives, its often hard to get a good nights rest. The problem really lies in the stress that many of us experience. Stress robs you of the rest that you need by putting you in a constant state of pressure and worry. There are, of course, numerous methods that can help you relax, but only a few of them give you a good nights sleep. One of them is soothing (舒缓的)music for sleep. Sleep music is not just for promoting relaxation, it also can be used for various situations. Want to have a relaxing evening by yourself? Practice yoga in a comfortable environment? Think over something important? Then put on your favorite sleep music. Sleep music is not only suited for adults, but has also been known to be beneficial for children. Soothing music helps your children go to sleep more easily. Massage therapists (按摩治疗师)can also benefit from using soothing music for sleep in their clinics. This allows clients to benefit more from the session. For example, massage therapists can provide the relaxation of the body through their techniques, and the music helps clients ease their minds, helping them to relax deeper and feel more refreshed after the session. Youll never run out as there are numerous artists and companies that make sleep music. Choosing the right music is important as well. Like most music that you can find and buy in stores, sleep music has different styles, sounds, and themes. There are those that are specifically targeted for relaxation, while some are intended to help you go to sleep. The great thing about sleep music is that it will be something youll be using for months, even years to come. If you want a deeper relaxation and better sleep, give some soothing music for sleep a try.31.
