      It may be the season to be joyful at the time of Christmas, but a psychologist in Columbus, Ohio says as many as one person in four has a chance of holiday depression this time of year.

      Dr. David Lowenstein says a lot of people “buy into the idea that the holidays should be a picture perfect, Norman Rockwell affair”, but he says that’s “unrealistic for most people”. Dr. Lowenstein says the potential is very high this time of year for psychological, physical and financial stress, so he recommends applying what he calls the “three R’s” to keep the holiday blues on the run.

      First, says the doctor, be Realistic. Don’t set overly high expectations, acknowledge feelings of sadness and don’t’ repress them. Rather, seek out social support and companionship, such as through a community group or church.

      Second, be Reasonable. Dr. Lowenstein says it’s best to eat and drink in moderation, rather than do more than usual just because it’s the holidays. By the way, moderation applies to money too. The doctor says a lot of people can’t spend what they’d like on gifts, or they spend more than they can afford. Either way, he says it’s depressing.

      Third, get some Rest. Don’t try to do more than you can comfortably do. Watch your time, and schedule some breaks for peace and quiet. Also, share your load with someone else. Dr. Lowenstein says if you’re feeling stressed and/or overburdened, try to get relatives or friends to help take up some of your burdens.

 

64. The phrase “buy into” in the 2nd paragraph probably means______.

      A. purchase                   B. spend money on         C. believe                   D. come into

65. The author is trying to _____.

      A. express his joy for the holiday                        

      B. introduce psychology

      C. warn readers of a possible danger around Christmas time

      D. break the notion that holidays should be perfect

66. The phrase” holiday blues” in the last line of the 2nd paragraph means______.

      A. the depression that happened in holidays

      B. the blue color used in holidays

      C. the blue sky of holidays

      D. the time of happiness

67. If you feel burdened, one of the ways to solve it is to _______.

      A. share the burden with someone                        B. go to the psychologist

      C. accept the fact as they are                               D. go to somewhere else

It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five - year - old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well - being.

But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he’d come to get his clothes and wouldn't be back. We’d been having trouble, but the finality of that note still came as a shock. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs in expectation of interviewing for a teaching position. I was embarrassed, scared, and angry and felt I had failed.

But I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. I used my routine to keep me moving. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back.

And in the seven years since, I've continued moving forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master' s degree in education. I certainly would never have chosen to put them through this, but I'm glad it happened to me when looking back. It helped me find my voice and myself a lot sooner. It helped me grow independent, confident, and strong―things I' m hopefully developing gradually now in my child.

A.she became a good wife and got two jobs

B.she had just received her bachelor's degree

C.she had been a teacher at Ashland University

D.she was proud to be loved by her family

57.From the second paragraph we can learn the author ____.

A.had run out of her money and was in debt

B.had interviewed for a teaching position

C.had a bad relationship with her husband

D.had got a paper of ending her marriage

58.The author did everything as usual because ____.

A.she wanted to use her routine to move forward

B.she wanted to get a good job as a teacher

C.she felt she had failed and was very sad

D.she had to support her mother and child

The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard.

      There are many good things about       in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between       and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.    , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbors working      and often shares in that work..

     A child       in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's       :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than       playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets      playing with dolls.

     These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the      children.
