the kids have gone to bed；its the only time i can be alone.i always did my best to protect my two children from my tears.if i needed to cry，i cried by myself.yet，i encourage my two boys to cry.my 7yearold prides himself on never crying at school.“oh，but you must cry，”i insist.“crying is good.it gets the sadness out.never hold back your tears.”but then i did just that.what might it do to them to see their mother upset? then my father died，and there was no way i could schedule my grief and keep my feelings inside.i tried to get on with things，but the sadness still came.the realization that my dad was actually gone hit me with an intensity(紧张) that was impossible to cover up.to my surprise，my boys didnt seem too alarmed.later，they found me hiding in the bedroom one afternoon，weeping.“its ok，mommies get sad too，”i told them，smiling through my tears.“dont be sad，mommy.granddad is coming back as a baby，” my 7yearold said，his tiny arm stretched across my shoulders.“think about love，”he went on.“think about all the people who love you.”i realized that in hiding my pain，i was only denying what it means to be human.i felt as if i had led my sons to believe that “negative” emotions are only a concept，and not something they should possess.its one thing to tell my children its ok to cry.its another to show them how its done.we owe that to our children，according to social researcher and author brene brown.during her ted talk，brown said，“its necessary we let ourselves be seendeeply seen”“our job is not to protect our children，to keep them perfect，”said brown.“our job is to look and say，youre imperfect，and youre made for struggles，but you are worthy of love and belonging”4according to the passage，the author .aseldom schedules her griefbbelieves boys should be toughcfinds

in the world.vehicles cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.more than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.the bridge was painted “international orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings.the color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area.but the golden gate bridge was not named for its orange color.it was named for the body of water that it crosses，the golden gate strait.the golden gate strait is the entrance to the san francisco bay from the pacific ocean.the golden gate bridge links the city of san francisco with marin county，california.planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around san francisco was growing.people living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船)joseph strauss was the chief engineer for the project.work began in 1934.mr strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building.these included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.a special safety net was suspended(挂) under the bridge.this net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.however,11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net.still，this was a new safety record for the time.the golden gate bridge opened in 1937.it extends 1,280 meters across the water.the total length is 2,737 meters.it was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥) in the world until 1964.that is when the verrazano narrows bridge opened in new york city.today，the golden gate bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.8the golden gate bridge was named after .athe local climate bthe color of a paintcthe strait it

pillows.they fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bowl”these students are in a forcredit，yearlong mindfulness class，which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence.for 90 minutes，three days a week，they practice a mix of yoga，sitting，and walking meditation，deep breathing，journaling，and nonjudgmental listening.yoga and meditation have gained popularity among americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefits to emotional，mental，and physical health.the centuriesold practices have roots in eastern religions，but western culture has long focused on physical postures(姿势)，breathing，and relaxation techniques.some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm.last year，an elementary school in ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion.but many school districts are reporting success.in richmond，california，schools have reported drops in school problems among lowincome，atrisk youths.the school district in south burlington，vermont，introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program，and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into k12 curriculums.two years ago，caverly morgan developed the afterschool mindfulness program teamed up with allyson copacino，who teaches yoga.after hundreds of students signed up，principal brian chatard took note.the school was dealing with a students suicide(自杀)，and few resources were available to address students emotional and mental health.“high school is the hardest period of time for kids，”mr chatard said.“youve got emotional changes，physical changes，and all the social pressures.its also the onset of mental illness for some kids，depression hits，and theres the pressure of college and sports.all these things kids do are overwhelming without having a strategy(策略) to deal with them.”and now schools all over the country are introducing the practices.12what do western people value more about yoga and meditation?anonjudgmental listening.breligious meaning.cphysical benefits.djournaling.13what can we infer about the mindfulness class?ait is supported by parents.bit relieves pressure of students.cit mainly builds students up physically.dit improves students academic performance.14who started the mindfulness class?aadministrators. bbrian
