27、Simple Things You Can Do To Get Through Hard Times

Life is a series of peaks and valleys. Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. 【1】. Here’s how to make getting through hard times less difficult:

● Stay positive

This may sound cliche (陈词滥调), but the thing about cliches is that they’re typically true. 【2】. But I am saying you have to eventually adjust your mood and start moving forward. Staying positive is the key to getting through hard times.

● 【3】

When I find myself in the middle of an ugly situation, I like to pick everything apart and see what went wrong and what I could have done differently. I always end up learning something that helps me and I eventually get a really clear picture of what I need to do to make sure I’m not in the same situation again. Or if I do find myself in a similar situation, I know what to do to minimize the difficulty of the situation.

● Focus on what you can control, not what you can’t

Some situations are beyond your control and no matter what you do, you can’t change a thing. You’re making yourself upset when you focus your time and energy on things you can’t control. You should focus on the things that are within your control. 【4】.

● Realize you’ve come a long way

Sometimes we get so focused on the road ahead that we never look back to see what we’ve already traveled. 【5】. This will give yourself much confidence when you realize that you’ve already made so much progress and the light at the end of the tunnel will get brighter.

● Be kind to yourself

You need to care for yourself to survive tough times. Take a walk through the park, enjoy a cup of coffee, read an amazing book, etc.

It doesn’t matter what you do, just do something that gets your mind and body engaged at a higher level than wallowing in self-pity.

A．Avoid the hard times

B．Learn from the hard times

C．Write down everything you’ve already done

D．What you should do next is to go on travelling without thinking too much

E．I’m not saying that you can never have a bad day, or get a little discouraged

F．It’s during the difficult times that we need a little more support and guidance

G．Because that’s the only way you can make a change that’s actually going to help you

28、Prices for collectible baseball cards seem to be rocketing. A Mike Trout card was sold for $3. 9 million in 2016. A 1952 Mickey Mantle card jumped to $5.2 million on January 15. 2021. Even a Spencer Torkelson card is worth thousands right now. Spencer Torkelson may become an All-Star one day. But he is just a 21-year-old who has just joined the Detroit Tigers recently.

A baseball card is a mass-produced picture of a professional(职业的) baseball player, not an original work of art. Spencer Torkelson is not Oscar-Claude Monet, although we don’t know yet what a guy with a bat in his hands could do in the future.

Then, what makes a baseball card worth thousands, sometimes millions of dollars? John List, the University of Chicago economist, told me. “The sports card market is doing well because it’s part nostalgic(怀旧), part art and part potential profit(利润). That combination is what’s magical.”

I am a sports fan, and certainly had baseball cards as a kid. Friends still send me an occasional card, as a gift, which I treasure. But I think the true charm of baseball cards is when they are cheap. Children should be able to trade them, put them in their pockets or under their pillows with you worrying they’re damaging some future windfall.

But professional baseball card traders typically don’t even open the packs to see what players are in them and keep them stored for future sale. Eventually, they put the cards almost out of reach for children, who used to be the market for baseball cards.

Can the multi-million-dollar cards stand for what we value? I don’t think so. We have learned again and again that the most truly valuable players among us are those who treat the sick, keep communities safe, teach children. I’d like to see prices paid to those kinds of all-stars go up, too.

【1】What is Oscar-Claude Monet?

A．An artist.

B．A doctor.

C．A teacher

D．A baseball player.

【2】Why are children attracted to the baseball cards?

A．They love the classical paintings.

B．They can trade them for big money

C．They are good childhood memories.

D．They can get fun from the collection.

【3】What does the underlined word “windfall” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Pocket money.

B．An expensive gift.

C．Unexpected profit.

D．An occasional present.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The other important professionals aren’t well-paid.

B．The other sportsmen should get higher salaries as well.

C．It is fair for the baseball stars to get such high payments.

D．Children might be able to learn the right values from those cards.

29、Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do．When this happens，a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing．When this does not work，the parent usually punishes the child．

There are many things that a parent can do．One thing that people have done is to spank(打屁股)the child．When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on the bottom．This means showing the child that they have done something wrong．

One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child．His parents used a wooden spoon．When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg．He never did that again．

One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing．Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard．Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing．

Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking．Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay．Some think that the law lets them do it．The courts(法院)say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave．

Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child．Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing．Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried．Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach can help as well．

【1】According to the passage，when children do something wrong，one thing that parents usually do   to punish them is to

A．strike them on the bottom

B．try to help them do the right thing

C．teach them what to do

D．take them to court

【2】Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?

A．It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her．

B．The parents may get angry and hit the child too hard．

C．Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything．

D．It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right．

【3】From this passage，we can conclude that

A．good children always do the right thing

B．parents should try their best to avoid spanking their children

C．parents have no choice but to spank their children

D．children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked

30、Faye and Matthew Gooding and their five young sons appear to have perfect lives. Mrs. Gooding _________ beautiful photos of life in their four-bedroom house on the Internet, and more than 32,000 people _________ them.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “This is a crow.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.”

After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for third time, “What is this?” This time, the son was irritated (生气) and said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.”

After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted in his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘It’s a crow’. Are you not able to understand this?”

A minute later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(破旧的) diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel annoyed, but instead felt a deep affection for my innocent son.”
