When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane（飓风） named Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably teased（取笑） by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.”

Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.

In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of its own. Each follows its own path through the world, and people remember it long after it gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes’ names, and to talk about them almost if they were alive.

A.They suffer from hurricanes.

C.Others often make fun of them.

In my experience, one of the greatest reasons of unhappiness is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are．When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different–we cry out for something better．That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that has been grown in our culture．

The root of the unhappiness isn’t that we want things to be different, however, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, but it just is．”

Here is an example．I have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind．Quite a few people think it bad after reading it because I think people should expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should accept that, instead of encouraging people to change themselves or the environment as much as possible．You could accept it as the way the world works–as the way things actually are．And try to understand why that is, and follow it, as it is．

This can be useful to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they’re that way．

It’ll save you a lot of sadness because you’ll no longer say, “Oh, I wish things didn’t go bad!”

If you really understand what I mean, you can try a different way to live in this world:accept, and understand．It might lead to some interesting results．

1．What is the major reason why we feel unhappy in the writer’s opinion?

A．We are never satisfied with ourselves and the environment around us．

B．When we see something that makes us unhappy, we don’t know what to do．

C．We feel hard to accept the way things happen themselves．

D．No matter how happy we are, we never want to be happy．

2．What do you think the writer may say to himself when he meets something unhappy?

A．How could I have made such a stupid mistake?

B．I should have done better．It’s all my fault．

C．Why is it all against my plan? It can’t be so bad．

D．Well, I know all is what it is meant to be．Take it easy．

3．Why do some people think badly of the writer’s new paper after reading it?

A．The writer hasn’t shown an encouraging attitude in his paper．

B．The writer asks people to try to make things better．

C．The writer reminds the people that things will go exactly as you’ve planned．

D．The writer doesn’t think it a good idea to accept the things go naturally．

4．The statements below are based on the writer’s points of view, EXCEPT_______

A．Unhappiness may be caused by human nature that we always want things to be better．

B．Why we don’t like the thing is that we have regard it as bad in the beginning．

C．The news media shouldn’t be so depressing if the reporters worked harder．

D．The best way to avoid feeling unhappy is to accept the things as they are．

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means — practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.

So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.

A. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time

A. people who can’t read are cleverer than those who can

B. people who can’t write are cleverer than those who can
