My mom is really a good cook （I bet all of us have this same claims） and she never really taught me how to cook.She enjoys experimenting various dishes and occasionally she will ask for my help to grind chili，onions or garlic.Basically all simple chores.I sometimes look at how she prepares the dishes and became more observant over the years.Every day she will buy meat or vegetables from a local market near us and just store it in the fridge to be cook later for dinner.She works for the government and she is not available to cook lunch.Every day after coming back from school I would always open the refrigerator and see what she bought and I can always tell what will be for dinner that night.If I see chicken，potatoes and shredded coconut，I would be very excited because I know she will make my favorite dish – Chicken Curry.

My parents do okay but we are by no means wealthy.I think we are comfortable in our daily basic needs but we definitely have no room for luxuries.But when it comes to our dinner，my mom will always make 3 dishes for dinner without failure.It’s almost like eating in a restaurant.I have to admit I was spoiled by my mom when it comes to my eating habits and have high expectations when eating somewhere else.      

One day my mom came back from work in the office and she was really in bad mood.She was complaining about how untidy we are and we （my siblings） never contributed in the household chores.To me that is not a fair statement as my elder brother and I took turns to wash the dishes.I was also given the privileged of ironing my mom and dad’s office attire each week.I was 14 at that time and being a boy，I have no intention of letting my friends know.Most of my friends have a maid to do all this but my parents simply couldn’t afford one.

6 . Job interviews, exams, medical tests—we’ve all waited and worried over the results. Some lucky people can wait without much worrying. Many of us, however, get anxious awaiting the outcome.

Kate Sweeny, a professor of psychology at University of California Riverside, studies these differences in waiting behavior. In her latest study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, she and a colleague studied 50 law school graduates waiting for the results of the California Bar Exam (律师资格考试). They took detailed surveys about the participants' self-esteem, how well they managed uncertainty, and whether they were more optimistic or pessimistic (悲观的). They also looked at how participants managed expectations and handled stress.

Not surprisingly, they found that an optimistic outlook and being more comfortable with   uncertainty made waiting less stressful. It didn't matter whether the participants reported high self-esteem or not. What mattered most was whether they expected the best.

“I was surprised,” says Sweeny.

Also interesting was that people changed as they got closer to learning the results. At first,it was harder for all of the participants to distract themselves, and all of them—even optimists—became more pessimistic as time went on.

Expecting bad news and preparing for failure may not relieve anxiety while waiting, but later on, it gives people a sense of control over their futures.

Similarly, it’s important that people don’t attach to much of themselves to the result. “If you convince yourself the bar exam is... just a silly exam you have to take and doesn’t reflect on your or your abilities, that... might help you .. if the news is bad,” she says.

Worriers can take comfort, however. Sweeny found that participants who suffered more stress were better at receiving even bad news. Indeed, those who had more anxiety while waiting for their bar exam results were more likely to turn around and start studying again if they failed.

Sweeny is recently studying the effects of mindfulness meditation (正念冥想) for those who are absorbed in results, as it helps people control their thoughts and emotions. The technique is perfect for this situation, she says. Waiting will never be easy, but having something under your control could make it more acceptable.

1. What did Sweeny find about her participants?

A．Law school students found it more difficult to accept failure.

B．The longer they waited, the less worried they seemed to be.

C．Positive people felt less stressed while waiting for their results.

D．Those with high expectations before the tests were more likely to fail.

2. What would Sweeney probably suggest to those who are waiting nervously?

A．Keep hoping for the best.

B．Always prepare for the worst.

C．Do not focus on the results.

D．Take the results as judgments on your abilities

3. Which participants were more likely to try again after failure?

A．Those who felt more anxious while waiting.

B．Those who were comfortable with uncertainty.

C．Those who had a sense of control over their failure.

D．Those who often practiced mindfulness meditation.
