During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be him. I hated the place. I had never been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was -almost 125 degrees even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed,were with sand, sand, sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I be in prison! My father answered my with just two lines-two lines that will always sing in my - two lines that completely changed my life:
Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.
I read those two lines . I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present ; I would look for the stars.
I made friends with the natives, and their amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus . I watched for the desert sunsets, and for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean .
What brought about this change in me? The desert hadn’t changed, I had . I had changed my . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and the stars.

Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.
A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.
Many people say “yes” to those kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.
Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.
“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriel Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risk losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”
The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.
In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.
But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.
Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”
Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual(相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”
When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.
1. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ____________.
A. they don’t care about their own interests and feelings
B. they don’t know they will regret afterwards
C. they have already been used to saying “yes”
D. they care more about others’ affection
2. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?
A. Just say you can’t help him.
B. Say sorry to him.
C. Refuse him clearly.
D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.
3. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?
A. Say yes to him.
B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance.
C. Just go away.
D. Say no to him.
4. What is the best title of the passage?
A. You Need Courage to Say “No”
B. “Yes” More than “No”
C. Nobody Has the Right to Say “No”
D. It’s Easy to Say “Yes”

More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme(主题) of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady s“Let' s Move!”program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal(目标) to get children to eat right and keep moving.
“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.
Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it' s play. If you're running around with your dog, you're getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that's exercise. But if you're sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you're not exercising.”
The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. "And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more," she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite "splurge food" is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.
“A lot of kids look up to(敬仰) athletes, and I think it's important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. "Kids aren' t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He's practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them — they can say to kids, ‘If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”
1.The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to ________.
A. help kids keep healthy
B. train more young reporters
C. encourage kids to eat more eggs
D. invite kids to visit the White House
2.In Mrs. Obama’s opinion, exercise ________.
A. can be fun to do
B. means hard work
C. should be done outdoors
D. requires special equipment
3.“Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when ________.
A. you don' t hurt yourself
B. you have a special snack
C. you never eat French fries
D. you eat right and stay active
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. All kids want to be LeBron James.
B. It is very easy to form good habits.
C. Athletes can set a good example for kids.
D. Kids like the messages the athletes give them.
