      Then Mrs.Smith told them why she asked them to play the game.She said， "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred（仇恨）for somebody inside your heart.The terrible smell of the hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry something unnecessary with you all the time.If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten potatoes for just two weeks，can you imagine how heavy it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your life time？So throw away any hatred from your heart，and you'll be really happy."

• 9．"Life is speeding up.Everyone is getting unwell." This may sound like something someone would say today.But in fact，an unknown person who lived in Rome in A.D.53 wrote it.We all love new inventions.They are exciting，amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives？
     Imagine this.You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer.Your mobile phone rings，a WeChat message from your friend appears on the screen，the noise from the television is getting louder and louder.Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.How happy do you feel？
     Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed （緊張的） and tired.Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities，who have no telephones，no car，not even any electricity often seem to be happier？Perhaps because they live simpler lives.
     One family in the UK went "back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today.The grandparents，with their daughter，and grandsons Benjamin，10 and Thomans，7，spent nine weeks in a 1940s house.They had no washing machine，microwave，computer or mobile phones.
     The grandmother，Lyn，said， "The more things you have，the more difficult life becomes." The boys said they fought less.Probably，they said，because there was less to fight over，such as their computer.Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy （趕潮流），beer drinking granny，to one who cooked things".
  
  （1）Why does the writer uses the quote（格言）at the beginning of the story？

  
  A．To tell us a truth about our lives.
  B．To tell us what life was like long time ago.

  D．To point out that life is getting better and better.
  （2）What can we learn from paragraph two？

  
  A．New inventions have speeded up our lives.
  B．New inventions have improved the quality of our lives.
  C．New inventions may make people feel very happy.
  D．New inventions may bring people some trouble.
  （3）Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house ？

  
  A．Because they loved to live simple lives.
  B．Because they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions.
  C．Because they were troubled by modern inventions.
  D．Because living in a different house would be a lot of fun for them.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．Problems with technology.
  B．Improvements of our lives with technology.
  C．Changes happening to technology.
  D．The importance of technology.

• 10．Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings？The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
     I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things，and it worked.Because of our efforts，our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness.She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund（基金） （our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor）.
     For weeks，I've been thinking of bigger，deeper questions：How do we make it a habit for them？And how do we train ourselves to help them live with，need，and use less？Yesterday，I sat with my son，Shepherd，determined to test my own theory on this.I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest.I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes，ten minutes，max.I chose a red rubber ball-simple，universally available.We passed it，he tried to put it in his mouth，he tried bouncing it，rolling it，sitting on it，throwing it.It was totally，completely enough for him.Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
     We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together.He had my full attention and I had his.My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

• 11．A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it…to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. （1）

  Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
     ● （2）

  Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.Why do you follow them？Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs？Know that your life is your own；you are the only you in this world.
     ●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings，our mistakes and our failures.Remember，you are only human. （3）

  Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better，why not offer yourself a compassionate （有同情心） response？ "That didn't go as planned.But，I tried my best."
     ●Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job，earned your degree，and you got out of bed today. （4）

  
     ●Now that you've listed your strengths，list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy，why you don't feel good enough. （5）

  Feeling upset again？Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are？
