26、 A friend of mine was in low spirits one day. He usually dealt with this state of mind by avoiding people until the mood passed. But on that day Fred had an important meeting with his boss, so he decided to put on a false front. During the meeting Fred smiled, joked and played the part of a happy, good﹣natured person. To his surprise, he soon discovered he was no longer depressed.
Without realizing it, Fred chanced to find an important new principle of psychological research: acting a part can help us feel the way we want to feel﹣more self﹣assured in a trying situation, more cheerful when things go wrong.
How can you put this principle to work in your own life?There's more involved than simply mimicking a few expressions. You have to be systematic about it. Here's how:
Smile to cheer yourself up.
Relax to reduce anxiety or fear.
Look your best to increase your self﹣confidence.
Keep cool in a crisis.
Using our bodies and actions to change the way we feel can be a useful tool in helping us through life's difficult times. As novelist George Eliot wrote more than a century ago, "Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. "People who remember that﹣and act upon it﹣can only be richer and happier for the experience.
【1】In Paragraph 1the underlined phrase "to put on a false front" means .
A.to wear a wrong coat B.to show a pretended happy appearance
C.to act a part unsuccessfully D.to put on airs
【2】According to Paragraph 1, Fred before the meeting.
A.had very few spirits B.was in a bad mood
C.had many spirits D.was in a good mood
【3】In the last paragraph, the quotation" Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. "may show that .
A.actions speak louder than words
B.the more we do, the happier we are
C.our feeling cannot change our behavior
D.actions are very important for us to beat bad moods for good.
27、Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad took out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

29、How to say hello in Japanese depends on(取决于) when you say it. This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting. We don’t get formal with our close friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning “ or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.
Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. It is not the most suitable word for it. Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon,” and I am sure you wouldn’t like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.
So what to do? Let’s do it the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gozaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konnichiwa” when it’s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things differ when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. Next time, I’ll tell something about my life in Japan.
【1】What is the best title for this passage?
A.How to greet close friends in Japanese.
B.How to greet people in Japanese.
C.Some difference between English and Japanese.
D.How to say hello in Japanese.
【2】Japanese people greet each other by saying “______” in the afternoon.
A.Konnichiwa
B.Ohaiyo Gozaimasu
C.Konbanwa
D.A.Moshi, Moshi
【3】In the writer’s opinion,______.
A.Japanese people don’t like using “Konnichiwa” as a greeting for the whole day.
B.people don’t need to be polite to their close friends
C.Japanese people are very friendly to each other
D.Japanese culture is similar to American culture
【4】We can learn from the passage that the writer_______.
A.lived in Japan for some time
B.is working in a radio station now
C.knows both Japanese and Chinese
D.is from Britain
