During the summer vacation this year, I thought I should do anything meaningful instead of stay at home, so I got a job at a KFC fast-food restaurant, working there as a cleaner. I worked seven hours a day for three week. The job was hard and boring, which made me very tired that I nearly gave it up halfway. And I went on with determination. Every day I started off for work early in the morning and reached to home late in the evening. Final I finished the job before the new term begins. Now, I understand that work means. I think it is really successful experience.

   Next week, strangers with a truck will take away everything we own, except the clothes on our backs, the car we will drive, and as much stuff as we can pack into it. It's called moving. Some people do it often. For others, like me, it's a rare experience. In all my adult years, I've moved only three times.

My first husband and I moved into our first house with a bed, our clothes and a few gifts. That was a lifetime ago. Over the years, I filled that house with three children, a few dogs and enough stuff to reach the ceiling.

When the kids grew up, I lost my husband to cancer, and I began to learn about letting go. First, I let go of the idea of being in control. Life isn’t about being in charge of what happens; it's about being in charge of what we do with it. Next, I let go of putting off the things I care most about, like keeping in touch with the people that mean the most to me. I let go of the people whose lives are about anger or hatred, and tried instead to surround myself with those who shine with kindness. Finally, I let go of being alone---I remarried. I eventually moved to a new city with my new husband, and after that move, I promised I'd stop collecting meaningless things. But 12 years later, here I am, still learning about letting go.

Yesterday, while cleaning out a dresser, I found a box filled with old keepsakes. Nothing in that box may mean much to anyone, except me. They are treasures for me because of the memories they preserve. We finally decided to keep them, hold them close and never let them go. We’ll all move someday from this world to the next, but we won't need a truck to do it. We'll take nothing with us and leave behind a memory of the life we lived, the mistakes we made, and all the love and kindness we tried to show. That memory might not be a treasure, but if we're lucky, someone will keep it and hold it close and never let it go.

【小题1】According to paragraph 3, which of the following might the author advise?
A.Never let all the memories go as they are.
B.Put off the things that mean the most to you.
C.Wherever you go, you should be kind to others.
D.Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you deal with it.
【小题2】The underlined word ''keepsakes'' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_________.
A.something memorableB.something expensive
C.something unpleasantD.something beautiful
【小题3】What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?
A.To stress the importance of letting the past go.
B.To give advice on how to make choices before moving.
C.To share how she learned to make important choices in life.
D.To explain how our memories can pass on to later generations.

While residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.
These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to people’s lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.
“Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” explains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of the University of Virginia. “Given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for meaning in life.”
Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: “Do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?” and “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”
The data revealed some unexpected trends:
“Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,” says Oishi. “But when we looked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”
When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries – all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”
The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.
According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive in poor economic conditions:
“Religion gives a system that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (连贯的整体) and a general structure to one’s life … and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,” the researchers write.
Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and religiosity, and are interested in following countries over time to track whether economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.
【小题1】Which of the following questions couldn’t the participants have answered?
A.Does your life have a purpose or meaning?
B.Do you have relatives living abroad?
C.Are you satisfied with your everyday life?
D.Is religion involved in your daily life?
【小题2】Which of the following statements is true?
A.Those who have higher life satisfaction usually have lower sense of meaning in life.
B.People in wealthier nations were more educated, have fewer children and express less individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries.
C.Religion may provide meaning to life in that people can get strong support from it in face of hardship.
D.Wealthy people are more likely to commit suicide than poor people.
【小题3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.The poorer a country is, the more religious its people are.
B.Economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.
C.If you want to find meaning in life, you must practice a religion.
D.Meaning in life doesn’t have much to do with the amount of wealth one possesses.
【小题4】The main purpose of the passage is to explain the possible reason why __________.
A.greater life satisfaction leads to lower sense of meaning
B.residents of poorer nations enjoy greater meaning in life
C.residents of poorer nations are so religious
D.residents of wealthy nations have greater life satisfaction

   I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
