condition worsened. my fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.we couldnt afford all the necessary medical care for him, and because dad was unable to work. i would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teachers words muffled as i tried to figure out how i was going to manage.i did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. i had seen how people reacted to aids.

rose. in fact, the scores of our whole class rose. one day, he took our class to see the phantom of the opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of harlem. before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. we did not want to let him down. mr. clark was selected as disneys 2000 teacher of the year. he said he would draw

students dpeople who are positive are less likely to suffer from colds. its possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from carnegie mellon university. “we should remember that a positive emotion will cause less disease risk,” says psychologist sheldon cohen, the studys lead researcher. in a previous study, cohen and his colleagues found that people who were positive were least likely to develop cold symptoms(症状) such as headache or sneeze(打喷嚏). those findings were interesting, but they didnt prove that a persons emotion affects whether he or she gets sick. instead, a persons personality is what matters. evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic. this would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds. to figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions), the team interviewed 193 healthy adults. the researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. they told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings they had experienced that day. the results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to catch a cold. their symptoms(症状), however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had. among those who reported good moods and had caught a cold, for example, 28 percent developed headache or sneeze(打喷嚏). on the other hand, those who are less positive, 41 percent had the symptoms(症状). for now, it cant hurt to look on the bright side more often than not! 32. what is the text mainly about?a. how to get rid of colds b. attitude determines lifec. being positive is helpful for colds d. different opinions about colds33. the word “full of vim and vigor” underlined in paragraph 1 probably means_.a. stupid b. well-informed c. energetic d. in low spirits 34. according to the finding a leading factor of catching colds should be ones _.a. health. b. personality. c. quality d. mood35. by saying the last paragraph, the writer intends to suggest_.a. positive emotions are as good as negative emotionsb. it is not necessarily good for you if you always look at problems positively c. it will be good for your health to always keep up an optimistic state of mind d. the saying-every coin has two sides. 七选五：阅读短文，从以下七个选项中选择最适合文意的五个选项。for the
