When I was superintendent of schools in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board of trustees(董事会), wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly's son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.
Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, "Jim, I love you and I'm so very proud of you."
I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.
When you put all the good attributes on the scale(天平) and you try to balance all the irritating traits such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn't to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., the irritations don't amount to much.
I won't get another chance to tell my son all I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, "Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye." He gave me something to treasure forever.
If there is any purpose at all to Jim's death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially families, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.
You may never have another chance. Do it today!
1.Which of the following is NOT true about Jim?
A. He was a boy handicapped and needed lots of patience.
B. He was an optimistic child and was sincere and kind to others.
C. He found a job after his graduation from high school.
D. He held a positive attitude to life despite his great difficulty in learning.
2.The letter submitted by Jim’s mother is intended to____________.
A. be in memory of her son who died at an early age
B. appeal to people to pay attention to road safety
C. remind people to cherish their friends and families
D. show the great sorrow when parents lost their child
3.The underlined word “traits” in the fourth paragraph probably means___________.
A. portraits B. Qualities C. arguments D. habits
4.The passage is most probably entitled__________.
A. A Heart-broken Story B. Memories About Jim
C. Great Parental Love D. Do It Today

When people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange,but most of the time they break down in tears.
Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.
Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things —— to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.
There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon.
1.What have professors from Yale University found in their research?
A. The reason why people cry with tears.
B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.
C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.
D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.
2.Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?
A. Crying at good news.
B. Crying at a failure.
C. Kissing a cute baby.
D. Laughing at happy reunions.
3.Where does the passage most likely come from?
A. A science fiction novel.
B. A psychological science journal.
C. A popular biology book.
D. An adolescent literature book.
