27、   Life can sometimes go_haywire rather like the feeling you get when you've lost control of your moving car. It's a feeling of complete helplessness and panic that makes us feel overwhelmed (被压垮的).

In most cases, there is a difference between our expectations and reality. The greater the difference, the greater the feeling is of being overwhelmed. This difference is often created when our expectations are too demanding or when reality changes in a way we did not expect. Think of the weather ruining your carefully made travel plans to get across the state. Think of that illness that made you stay in bed. While we may be feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in our lives right now, there are some steps we can take to regain a sense of control of our lives.

We all know we should control our emotion properly and we can be affected greatly when we are overwhelmed, but feeling overwhelmed is part of life. When we're feeling overwhelmed, it only means we are living, breathing human beings. For life is like a roller coaster ride with its ups, downs and turns. It's also like the season with its alternating periods of relative calm and periods of varying degrees of stress and anxiety. Sometimes we forget this.

No matter how much we try, we may not be able to control reality. But we can adjust our expectations to match reality. This may mean revising our goals and tasks or quitting projects. It may feel like failure in the moment, like giving up, but this ability is an opportunity to create success in the long term. Working with reality rather than against it can give us hope.

When we're feeling overwhelmed, we can easily fall into an all­or­nothing (孤注一掷). We may overlook the things we manage to accomplish when we feel overwhelmed. But celebrating our small wins creates space for gratitude to take hold in our hearts. Trade our expectations for appreciation and our whole world changes in an instant. Celebrating wins (whatever size！) allows us to clearly see the progress we are making. Acknowledging our small bites and celebrating our wins however small makes us have a more accepting attitude toward the opportunities, the gifts and the joys in our lives.

【1】The underlined phrase “go haywire” can be replaced by ________.

A.be in a mess B.become dull C.bring surprises D.change quickly

【2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.We fail to control our emotion sometimes.

B.We must learn to control our emotion well.

C.It is natural for everyone to feel overwhelmed.

D.Feeling overwhelmed is a big barrier to our life.

【3】What should we do when we can't control reality?

A.Accept our failure and quit. B.Change our goal based on reality.

C.Try our best to change reality. D.Find a better way to realize our goal.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Small bites are better than big wins.

B.We should show gratitude to others.

C.Celebrating small wins helps us make progress.

D.We should appreciate even small achievements of ours.

28、How do kids behave when there are no adults around？Donette Mabes from New Jersey says，"You never really know because you're not watching them all the time. "

Donette had always just thought her son was a troublemaker-until recently，when 13-year-old Gavin Mabes and some middle school friends arrived at a skate park. The park was empty except for little Carter Brunell，who was there with his mother celebrating his fifth birthday.

Carter is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）. Big groups of older kids can make him nervous，so his mom，Kristen，was fully prepared to get him out of there. But she wasn't prepared for what happened next.

Gavin led the way and the others followed. The only surprise was that Gavin didn't start trouble. He started a friendship. "Gavin is just going around with Carter and making him feel special. And the rest of his friends then started singing Happy Birthday to him，"Kristen said，“That really blew me away，because I just saw the kindness in the world. And I wanted Carter to have a good birthday. ”

It was such a great birthday, and such a kind deed, even the local police department responded. They decided to hold a pizza party for them. But here's the best part: Since their first meeting, Gavin and his friends have continued to play with Carter.

As for the moms, this was the sweetest moment. Knowing your kid treats others kindly is better than seeing your kid treated kindly by others, even when you're not watching. "I was just so proud of him. He's good," Donette said.

29、   One of the most basic core values is honesty. It impacts our entire life: our jobs, our relationships, our own feelings about ourselves and the actions we take. It sets an example for our children and it influences the people around us. 【1】. “Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right.”

“Have the Courage to Say No”

【2】.When a good friend or a family member forces us to do something that we know is dishonest, it takes courage to say no.

“Have the Courage to Face the Truth”

Sometimes the truth hurts and we want to deny it or not believe it, 【3】. There are those who would prefer to take the easy way out and just ignore it. And sometimes by accepting the truth we are showing courage.

“Do the Right Thing Because It Is Right”

We all know in our hearts what the right thing to do is, 【4】. Stick to what you think is right.

【5】
