Is there a wonderful moment when parents can bee spectators in the lives of their children and shrug, “Its their life,” and feel nothing? When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital passage waiting for doctors to put a few stitches(缝线) in my sons head. I asked, “When do you stop worry?” The nurse said, “When they get out of the accident stage.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked continually and disrupted the class. As if to read my mind, a teacher said. “Dont worry, they all go through this stage and then you can sit back, relax and enjoy them” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing. When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to e home, the front door to open. A friend said, “ Theyre trying to find themselves, Dont worry, in a few years, you can stop worrying. Theyll be adults.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing. By the time I was 50, I was sick and tired of being weak. I was still worrying over my children, but there was a new wrinkle, there was nothing I could do about it. My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing. I continued to suffer from their failures, and be absorbed in their disappointments. My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted(萦绕心头) by my mothers warm smile and her occasional “You look pale. Are you all right?” Call me minute you get home. Are you depressed about something ?” Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? One of my children became quite anxious about me recently, saying, “ Where were you ? Ive been calling for three days, and no one answered . I was worried.” I smiled a warm smile58. We can infer from the underlined sentence “My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing” that _.A. her mother shared the same idea as the nurse B. her mother didnt agree with the nurseC. her mother thought the nurse was lying D. her mother wouldnt express her opinion upon the matter59. What can we infer from the last sentence? A. The mother was happy that her child began to worry about her, too B. Finally the mother didnt have to worry about her children. C. At last the mother could live her own life without worry. D. The mother succeeded in turning her children into adults.60. Which of the following should be the best title?A. Life B. Parents C. Worry D. ChildrenCResearchers found that walking around with a forced smile and fake happiness simply leads to people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy.Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outes. He said. “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional tiredness, and thats bad for the organization.” He also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didnt want to work, so their productivity dropped.The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and pare the different effects on men and women. Dr. Scotts team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, pared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of pleasant memories.Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than mens. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved more by thinking of pleasant memories.”According to Dr. Scott women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings.Although deep acting can improve moods a little in the short term, Dr. Scott says, its not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. “There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you start to feel unreal. Youre trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.”61. Dr. Scotts findings may be important to some employers because _. A. their workers dont want to work all the time B. they want more female workers than male workers C. their workers worsen their moods at the end of the day D. they tend to force their workers to smile in public62. According to the passage, Dr. Scotts study _. A. is meaningful as there havent been many similar ones B. aimed to make people more productive C. examined more women than men D. is supported by some big employers 63. It is implied in the passage that deep acting _. A. cannot improve our moods at all B. does harm to our feelings in the long run C. makes people happy by feeling like another person D. has no effect on men 64. What is the best title for the passage? A. An important suggestion for workers.B. Women shouldnt be forced to smile. C. Fake smiling makes people unhappy.D. Why people dont want to work.DMy parents lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s and I heard stories from both of them about how their lives changed because of it. The same was true of my in-laws whose lives were also affected negatively. For example, my husbands grandfather owned a factory. Owing to the stock（证券）market crash, he lost the factory and went back to work in the very factory hed once owned. He could no longer afford to send my father-in-law to college. My father-in-law worked full time as a pipe fitter and went to school part-time to earn his degree, which took seven years.Somehow, my husband and I never dreamed that we would live through anything similar. However, as they say, history often repeats itself. In 1929, the stock market crashed in the month of October. The same thing happened in xx. My husband, who had invested（投资）all our money in the market, was in a state of shock. Each day the news was more terrible.“Weve lost more than half of our wealth, he told me.I just stared at him. “How can that be?”“I thought we had good, solid investments, but it seems I was wrong.”“Well, we do have pensions （抚恤金）,” I said. “Hopefully, they wont be affected. Since we have never lived a high lifestyle to begin with, I dont think we have to worry.”“I did hope to leave our children and grandchildren a generous inheritance（遗产）,” my husband said. He shook his head in disbelief.“Well still be able to give gifts. Love is the most important gift anyway.” Our children are grown and we always try to be generous to them and our grandchildren.“It just wont be the same.”“The world is always changing,” I said. “You never know what will happen. The main thing is not to get discouraged. As long as we have our health and can afford the necessities of life, theres no reason to be upset. When you have your health, you can always earn more money.”I hugged my husband and he kissed me in return.“I guess youre right,” he agreed. “We love each other. We have our health and enough money to live on fortably. Thats all that matters.”We had to move out of our house into an apartment. Since few people could afford a house in those hard days, we decided to offer it for considerably less than it would normally be worth. Even so, several buyers changed their mind days before closing. But finally, our home was sold.As we shook hands with the new owners, I told them how fo
