How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio programs for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come
back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”．
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

“We leave at dawn and head out overland by jeep towards Base One. We will get as far as we can before proceeding on foot,” Mark explained. The others sat and listened. Sarah, particularly, as a “casualty of events”, wouldn't have known what to say or suggest even if she’d been asked. But Harry had a lot to say.
“We'll never make it,” he protested(抗议). “We'll still be crossing the desert when they catch up with us. They’ll know where we’re heading for and they seem to know every move we make or are going to make.”
Mark said nothing, but spread his hands out as if to say “Well, what do we do then?” “We wouldn’t be in this mess now,” Harry went on, almost ignoring Mark’s gesture, “if we hadn't stopped to rescue Sarah.”( He glanced at her briefly.) “But since we did, we must get on—but not across the desert. There is the sand, and deep ravines (沟壑) which are almost invisible until you’re right on them and then the heat. You have to be used to going out there, and none of us is. This is no ‘morning at leisure’ on some pleasant holiday, you know! If we went north instead and made for the river,…"
He broke off and looked around at the others, feeling somehow that his argument was pointless. No one said anything.
“Good,” said Mark, look around with authority, and returned to checking their stores.
A beautiful sunrise was about to burst over the horizon as the jeep headed out towards Base One.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 1.
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. 2. Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. 3.For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
4. Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is the key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (横木). 5.
A. Change goals every so often.
B. Make a visual goal reminder.
C. Don’t always tell him what you think.
D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
E. You can take sports as example to help explain it to him.
F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
