are we going to be killed?” asks the son of abu sinar, an iraqi engineer. abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.he tries to comfort(安慰) him by saying, “the bombs are far away from us. the americans are fighting the soldiers. we are going to be all right.” even though abu knows this isnt always the truth, but what else can he do ? in baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills(药丸) to make them sleep so that they wont hear the sound of bombing. and all the schools are closed.“all we can do is to listen to and hear the war,” said abu. “ people in baghdad, men and women, young and old, have to live in fear. we feel hopeless and helpless. we dont know where the next bombs are going. we can do nothing but wait to be killed.”choose the right answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用a、b、c或d表示，填入空格内）：（共5分）( )1. the children have to run away from their homes because .a) it is dangerous to stay at home b) their parents are not at homec) they want to hear the ward) they want to welcome the foreign soldiers( )2. killed the girls mother.a) a doctor b) a bombc) a childd) a sleeping pill( )3. what do we know about children in baghdad during the war?

here are ten fast and easy ways to smile. 1. play outside leave your house and go outside, because sun and fresh air are good for you. 2. exercise when you exercise, your brain let out a chemical. this chemical makes you feel happier. that is just another reason why exercise is good for you. 3. have a heart-to-heart if something makes you feel upset, it is a good idea to talk about it. call a friend or relative. a good talk is a great way to make you feel better fast. 4. play pop music westlife, backstreet boys, s.h.ewho doesnt like pop songs?
