“which do you want?” “the reddest and biggest one,” my little brother said. my mother stared at him and said to him angrily: “you should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldnt always think of yourself.” seeing this, i suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother: “mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” hearing my words, my mother was very happy. she kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize. from then on, i learned to tell lies, fight, steal and rob. in order to get what i wanted, i played hard. as a result, i was sent into prison.the famous man from the white house said: one day, my mother brought some apples. she said to my brother and me: “you all want the reddest and biggest one, right? well, lets have a competition. now i divide the grassland in front of the gate into two and i will give one to each of you and you must shear(修剪) it well. and i will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.”after the competition, i won and i got the biggest apple. in our family, as long as you want to get the best things, you must take part in

bjust be happy. sounds too simplistic, doesnt it ? but, in reality, we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things from a positive point of view. everyone experiences the ups and downs of life, however, we can make a decision to take advantage of the negative or practice what the old saying says to do :“ when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”it really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to work your attitude into any shape you like. here are some tips:ignore those who tell you life is too difficult to be happy. what do they know?when you awaken each morning, be thankful for another day, even if its raining.smile at those you meet, even if they dont return the favor.dont borrow trouble. each day has enough of its own.dont allow trouble to bury you in its gray depth of sorrow.dont give in to negative thinking.be positive even when others are not.refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing.do something you enjoy each day, even if its just a walk in your neighborhood.whistle(吹口哨) as you go through the day.work at being happy because its worth it.youre human, like everyone else, and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to be happy. when you reach that stage, find someone else who has decided to be happy. join forces with him and march forward in your decision to be a happy person. simply speaking, a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.choose today to just be happyas much as it depends on you!the amount of happiness depends

office, i had to work. the only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow i was dating a dozen long-stemmed red roses. as i was cleaning my office, i was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. as i stepped out, i noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. nervously, she explained that her husbanda prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient. she told me she wasnt allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. her request was for me to let the boys father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before i called him for his appointment. since my schedule wasnt full, i agreed. after all, it was christmas eve. a short time later, her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. the womans tired face lit up like our little christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. i kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. after almost an hour, i called the prisoner back to my office. the patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. i wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. i tried to make him as comfortable as possible.at the end of the appointment, i wished him a merry christmasa difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. he smiled and thanked me. he also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadnt been able to get his wife anything for christmas. on hearing this, i was inspired with a wonderful idea.ill

for many reasons. however, inflation (通货膨胀) has not badly affected peoples lives because living standards have improved. inflation is not an unbeatable beast. in fact, economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it. there are now several methods of controlling inflation. reduce the amount of money being issued many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed. the more money the central bank issues, the more inflation there is. therefore, the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued. cut down on government spending and increase government income overspending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse. therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies, cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies (津贴) to prevent inflation from accelerating. slow down the increase of salaries it seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up. in fact, as salaries increase, the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase. thus, increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds. its like cheating. salaries should only be increased if workers produce more. increase bank interests interest increases can make more people put more money into banks. at the same time, enterprises take out fewer loans. demand for money on the whole is lower. keep prices under strict control prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling-the highest prices-for most goods and freezing prices on most goods.63. the word issue in paragraph 3 means _. a. use b. print c. quarrel d. invent64. the writer uses medicine to stand for _. a. ways to reduce inflation b. reasons for inflation c. something to treat patients d. prices without control65. what is probably the best way to reduce inflation? a. no money will be issued. b. salaries will be reduced. c. more products will be produced. d. prices will be controlled.66. the article does not mention _ as a way of reducing inflation. a. controlling prices b. adjusting bank interests c. controlling the amount o
