different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building
blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life
builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be
troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different
look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just
cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as
well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens,
they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that
you are loved wherever you are.

know how things will shake out until everyone is under one roof, trying on new roles with name that start
with "step". This is what happened to Sheila and Will, and Sheila"s 8-year-old daughter Ashley. After the
couple got married, and Will became the member of the new family, things got worse than expected. How did they make it work? Read the full version of the story here.
Shelia"s Turn: When Shelia and Will were dating, he seemed like kids, especially Ashley. He"d bring
her presents, play games with her. But after the wedding, things took a turn. Will suddenly became a
super strict stepfather, scolding Ashley for watching too much cartoons, constantly picking fights and
punishing her for offenses as small as spilling milk. Shelia"s thought about leaving Will, but soon after they
married, they had a son, Billy. Will adores his well-behaved boy, but Ashley hates him. Shelia doesn"t
know what to do--- her daughter is miserable, but leaving her husband might mean losing her son.
Will"s turn: Will was so excited to be a male role model in Ashley"s life. He didn"t just want to be a
guy living in her house; he wanted to treat her like his own daughter, which, to Will, meant giving Ashley
more rules and help her learn responsibility. He"d always felt that Shelia let Ashley loose on everything.
But after the wedding, Will was surprised that Shelia didn"t want him to do that. If Will takes away Ashley"s TV privileges or tells her to clean up her room, Shelia just lets Ashley do what she likes and does it
herself. Will was tired of this and he"d rather take his son and go.
The advisor"s turn: The counselor(顾问) quickly recognized their conflict as a classic case of
unspoken, hidden expectations. Before the wedding, when it was just Shelia and Will, everything was
easy. But now, everyone in their big family is competing for attention, and the couple never sat down and
discussed the biggest issue-their child-upbringing philosophies(育儿经). The counselor suggested Shelia
allow Will to give some rules on Ashley but Will"s punishments couldn"t be extreme. Once Ashley saw
that her mom and stepdad had become a united front, she cooperated more.
B. historical events
C. social problems
D. political systems
A. Ashley often spilled milk on the floor.
B. Will always punished her for bad behaviors.
C. Ashley was stopped watching too many cartoons.

C. Will does not love Shelia any more

B. Objective
C. Critical
D. Subjective

| Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been h anded to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you." but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy -the ability to put yourself into someone else"s head and heart. We"re all able to do this; in fact, we"re born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn"t, we"re not able to understand other people"s feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities. Think back to the presents you"ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know. We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won"t make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. |

| A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift |
