    Short reader – submitted stories – for the woman you should think of today!

                                                       ——Compiled by Amy Zerello

    Great Minds Reminded of Mom

    After a long, exhausting day, a friend of mine, Allen, headed home. On the road, he passed an elderly woman who was standing by a car with a flat tire. If that were his mother, he thought, he would want someone to help her. With a tired sigh, he turned around and drove back.

    Just as he reached the stranded woman, a truck pulled up and a burly farmer got out. "Kindof reminds you of your mom, too?" the man asked as the two of them pitched in together to change the tire for the woman.

    Your Biggest Fan

    While waiting in a bookstore for a guest author to sign her latest book, I leafed through some of the Civil War novels she had written. The woman in line behind me commented, "Those are the best books I've ever read. I couldn't put them down." Before I could reply, the author frowning, looked over and said, "Oh, come on, Mom!"

    -- Contributed by Marilyn Kopp

    Head of the Household

    My husband, Jeff, and I came across several problems while assembling our new computer system, so we called the help desk. The man on the phone started to talk to Jeff in computer jargon(行业术语), which confused us even more.

    "Sir," my husband politely said, "please explain what I should do as if I were a four-year-old."

    "Okay," the computer technician replied. "Sweetie, could you please put your mommy on the phone?"

    PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION（30 points）
    Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．
    Next time you find yourself drenched (湿透) in an unexpected heavy rain, look on the bright side – it will be a memorable experience. While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall. But those who feel in a good mood because it’s a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers.
    Professor Joe Forgas, who led the research, said: “It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they wee in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy, the flunked it.”
    The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check – out counter. On rainy days, sad music was played in the store. When it was bright and sunny, customers heard cheery music. This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods. After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember. Their scores were three times higher when the weather was had and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days. The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology. A report on the findings said: “They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive and negative moods.”
    Professor Forgas said, “We found that weather – inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy. Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability.”
    A worse mood helped to focus people’s attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness.
    Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings. In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap (匆忙的) judgments about people we meet. Mild negative mood, in turn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style.
    Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be on importance in everyday life. Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real-life memories is still poorly understood.
    56．What’s the major function of Paragraph 1?
    A．To attract readers’ interest.     
    B．To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
    C．To generalize the whole passage.   
    D．To describe a memorable experience.
    57．The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph2 may mean “       ”.
    A．conducted B．failed       C．passed      D．understood
    58．In the research, researchers play different music to         .
    A．make customers become sadder or happier
    B．help customers choose what they want
    C．promote customers to buy more goods
    D．get customers to make a quick choice
    59．According to Joe Forgas, on sunny days, people         .
    A．will make careful judgments on others
    B．tend to pay more attention to their surroundings
    C．will have more confidence
    D．will have a better recall
    60．What can we know from the research?
    A．Forgetfulness is rather troublesome.
    B．It’s important to feel in a good mood.
    C．It’s memorable to experience a rainy day.
    D．Gloomy days are good for memorizing things.

    PART THREE  READING COMPREHENSION
    Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
    Jascha Richter once sang “don't need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.
    Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.
    It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.
    Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards—at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender（性别）.
    Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.
    All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.
    But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.
    “Standing on a mountain high
    Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
    I should go and see some friends
    But they don't really comprehend”
    Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.
    1. What do we know about the writer’s father according to this passage?
    A. He is really a good philosopher.                          
    B. He possibly gets on well with others.
    C. He told the writer to reveal her true opinions.       
    D. The passage doesn’t tell us at all.
    2. What does the writer mean by saying “All are friends around me” in Paragraph 7?
    A. People around her all like her.                B. She has a lot of friends.
    C. There are no real friends.               D. No one is friendly to her.
    3. What’s the most probable reason the writer mentions Jascha Richter’s song twice in the passage?
    A.She likes Jascha Richter’s song.
    B.Jascha Richter is one of her friends.
    C The song were expresses her feelings.
