If there's one thing I' ve learned from my years of being a kid, it' s that you have ZERO control over your own life.

Ever since school ended, I haven' t had anything I' ve needed to do or anywhere I' ve needed to be. As long as the air-conditioning(¿Õµ÷) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.

But then, out of the blue, this happened - " Pack your bags. We' re going on a road trip ! " Mom said excitedly.

This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warming. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going .to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.

It wasn't exactly my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie !

Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going - Disney World.

I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad.

But when my little brother, Danny, heard about the change he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.

We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.

I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a " bonding" experience for the whole family.

By May£¬after three months, I had lost 22 pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say ¡°Alice you look great !¡± or ¡° How did you lose so much weight? ¡±. Those compliments made me feel good and confident.

Soon I dropped to 110 ponds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present¡ª¡ªa bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.

By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what?

To make those who love me worried? Is it worthwhile to be thin?

Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the ¡°perfect body¡± is living with the dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.

D. Being thin is not the most important thing in our life.

Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (ÏíÀֵģ©gains than material purchases.

The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant (ÉúÆø²ª²ª), but you're less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.

Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It¡¯s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.

Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy ¡°joyless¡± material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.

Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It¡¯s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.

It¡¯s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.

A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it's easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.

Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco­friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.

A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco­friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(½þÈë)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.

Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco­friendly ¡°green¡± way to treat storm water.

What¡¯s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.

Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.

Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don¡¯t need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you¡¯re eco­conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.

A. They are good for living conditions.

B. They increase pollution.

C. They can beautify the community.

D. They improve the environment.

2.Which of the following is the eco­friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?

A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.

B. They can keep the rain and storm water.

C. They can be healthy for the people around.

D. They can make the environment more beautiful.

3.One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that .

A. they cost less and are much easier to get

B. they may attract local wildlife to come

C. they require little care from the local gardener

D. they are more used to the local growing conditions

4.What do we know about rain gardens?

A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.

B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.

C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.

D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep well. All the other frogs the well. When they saw how the well was, they told the two frogs that they might as well be .

The two frogs ignored what were saying and to jump up out of the well with all of their physical strength. The other frogs telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs the comments, seriously considered them, and gave up. He down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the and just die. He jumped even harder and finally it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, ¡°Did you not us?¡± The frog explained to them that he was . He thought they were him the whole time.
