I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in.
“Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”
“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning. My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it.
“Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.
When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung...”
My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.
“Daddy… I am so sorry…”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”
“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before. ”He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.
Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact，they said，by the age of 85，people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the US.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time，the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness，sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.
The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However，women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men.
The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers said they didn’t know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that，as people grow older，they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone said the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
32．How many people were involved in this survey?
A．More than 340 adults. B．Less than 314,000 adults.
C．More than 340,000 adults. D．More than 3,000,000 adults.
33．What kind of people has the highest stress levels?
A．People who were between the ages of 18 and 85.
B．Those in their seventies and eighties.
C．People who reached their fifties.
D．Adults between the ages of 22 and 25.
34．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.
B．Researchers know exactly why happiness increases as people get older.
C．Women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men.
D．Levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.
35．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．The Older，the Happier

D．What Makes the Elder Happy？

Do you know how to pick a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.
36 . Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school. You can pick something that you love to read, not for school. They can be ancient martial (武术) arts, computers, or fashion design. You name it, there are books about it.
What’s Your Type? 37 . Fiction books, like novels, can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring. Many of them read like novels from start to finish.
Read the description. The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you pick future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praised the book. 38 .
Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 39 . Find out and give them a read — then you can share your thoughts about the book.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book. 40 . You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!
A. How about your brothers and sisters?
B. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors, too.
C. Read for School.
D. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate (全神贯注) on it.
E. Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)?
F. Nonfiction books are always more popular.
G. Start with Your Interest.
