6 . Have you ever had such an experience that a day starting out bad just continues to get worse. But why?

Sometimes there’s a “domino effect” with bad events. For example, you sleep through the alarm, so you’re stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic, which will also make you late to work, etc.

How can we turn a bad day to a good day? Here are some ideas that have worked for me:

Smile a lot

Smiling a lot will help you feel relaxed. Research has shown that smiling produces three useful chemicals which make us feel good.

Talk to a good friend

Talk to someone who cares and listens really does help us feel better, too.

Focus on your good things

It’s hard to focus on how bad things are when you’re focusing on how good things are!

Think of 10 or more things you’re thankful for, and you’ll achieve a whole new outlook (人生观) on your day.

Get some exercise

If you can, exercise. Exercising will help you feel better and it can get your day back to be normal again.

Make the day a challenge

If you make yourself think of the day as a challenge, you’ll start to do all the things you can to make your day better.

1. What does the underlined phrase the “domino effect” mean according to the passage?

A．It’s an effect that gets one event to cause (引起) other similar events to happen.

B．It’s an effect that turns a good day to a bad day.

C．It’s an effect that makes one person affect (影响) another.

D．It’s an effect that turns bad things into good things.

2. How can the three useful chemicals that smiling produces make us feel?

A．Angry.

B．Relaxed.

C．Stressed.

D．Worried.

3. What will we do if we consider a bad day as a challenge?

A．We will try our best to do things.	B．We will give up doing things.
C．We will lose all our confidence.	D．We will go to exercise at once.

7 . Every Christmas, we get “The Box” from my uncle, who owns a local sporting goods store. He _______ uniforms to the sports teams and does T-shirt printing for parties. Every Christmas, instead of _______, he sends us the rejects(废品)from his shop.

One year, we got caps that sported a company’s misspelled _______. It was “Lovie’s Mower Service” _______ “Louie’s Mower Service”

Another year, we got a birthday party T shirt for a woman’s ninety sixth birthday when _______ to be her ninety seventh birthday. And another time we all got green football socks that weren’t exactly the _______ color for the football team that had _______ them.

You never know what you’re going to get out of “The Box”, so we play a _______ with it on Christmas Eve. My father _______ one item at a time, and each of us has the ________ to keep it or not. It goes around the whole ________, and if someone wants it, he ________ it, if no one wants it, it goes in the pile to charity.

We have had a million ________ over the years, with family reunion shirts, baseball pants, and different minor league baseball teams’ clothes with colorful names. “The Box” never ________ us.
