Unit 3 Travel journal一、阅读理解。As a child，I was generally happy，singing and dancing to my favorite songs，smiling and laughing with my friends and family.But as far back as second grade，I noticed a“darkness”about me.I didnt enjoy participating in many things.In middle school，things in my life began to get even worse.I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible.Finally，midway through eighth grade，I was told I had a chemical imbalance，diagnosed(诊断)with clinical depression，and had to take medicine.It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself, rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said，“To live happily is an inward power of the soul，”and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness.Happiness is a journey.Everyone seems to need different things to be happy.“The essentials(要素)to happiness are something to love，something to do，and something to hope for，”a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life.People need love.I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything else in the world.People need work to do，something to make them feel they are making a difference in the world.People need to know that more good is to e in the future，so they continue to live for“now” instead of constantly worrying about the bad that could e.Love and hope are happiness.1What do we know about the author in Paragraph 2?AHe hated going to sleep because he couldnt sleep well.BHe spent months recovering from the clinical depression.CHe was diagnosed with clinical depression in Grade Seven.DHe suffered a great deal from clinical depression.2Who helped the author to be happy again?AThe authors friends.BAristotle.CThe author himself.

Arguing with your parents isnt the best solution at all， but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. 1._Understand that its not your parents who do not want you to have independence. They want the best for you and think youre not ready or youll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. 2._ If you cant get home by 9：30， theyll never let you out after 10：00.Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you wont be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. 3._ They wont imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.4._ They wont feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what youre up to.
