My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea.As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 31 those we had grown to love.We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again  32  at the pier (码头) waving good-bye to my father as his  33  pulled him away from us.My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of  34 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of  35  in the new environment again
Throughout the years of changing  36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother.For both my  37  and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher.She played these roles while  38  some type of part-time job.Leaving a promising career is just one of the  39  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 40  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother,  41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and  42
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,  43  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (无能) to  44  a career or establish a home.But it was not for my mother.She turned this  45  into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to  46  another part of the world.My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood.Each new house was a  47  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and  48  pictures.Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a  49  attitude.She always had strength in the face of struggle and change.My mother was so  50  all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change.She is my hero.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books.

That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my   39  , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer.

That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿)  42   my published works. I never   43   my writing to my teachers, friends or my family   44   because they were dream killers.

What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, and these may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
   Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
   Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school records, for instance, may not be very good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part-time job is probably ________.
A.a good way to find out his weak points
B.one of the best ways of earning extra money
C.of great use for his work in the future
D.a waste of time he could have spent on study
小题2:If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he ________.
A.may do well in his future work
B.won’t be able to find a suitable job
C.may be a complete failure in the future
D.will regret not having worked harder at school
小题3: The whole passage centers around ________.
A.looking for a part-time job
B.developing one’s abilities at school
C.gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D.knowing yourself before trying to choose a career

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-­based Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence (发生) of crime, drug­taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不稳定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-­child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨询) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
小题1: What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To urge awareness on mental health of the young.
B.To give details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.
C.To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help students.
D.To show us causes of the mental problems among students.
小题2: The underlined word “addressed” in the fourth paragraph most probably means ________.
A.talked aboutB.dealt withC.decidedD.introduced
小题3:From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following EXCEPT ________.
A.one­-child policy
B.lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations well
C.lack of special training in mental health
D.heavy burden from study
小题4: We can learn that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, ________.
A.special attention should be paid to the mental health of the young
B.psychologists must be a necessary part of schools
C.the government should cancel tests to ease the pressure on the students
D.parents must try their best to meet all the needs of their children
