Reading

I haven’t been watching the news too much lately. The daily reports of death, disease, and war have been starting to wear me down. Every time I turn on the television, it seems like the whole world is ready to end. But today, I got a reminder that the world is still okay. I was taking my son to a second-hand store so he could see if he could find some used CDs to add to his music collection. I parked the car and we both put on our masks. I’ve gotten so used to this that it feels like second nature now.After we went inside, I walked over to the book section to see if I could find something for myself. I looked around and was both surprised and delighted to see a very elderly lady pushing a baby stroller (婴儿手推车). She told me that the baby was her great-granddaughter. I looked down at the little girl in her tiny pink dress. She was sleeping peacefully. I looked down at her innocent (天真的) face.Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked up at me. For a second I thought she was going to cry, but then she seemed to see me smiling behind my mask and smiled back at me. It was a warm and innocent smile that could light up the whole world.Things like this remind me that the world is full of love and beauty. Even when things seem difficult, painful, or scary, there is always love to guide us through. Keep this in mind the next time you feel like the world is crashing down around you.

Difficult sentences:

I’ve gotten so used to this that it feels like second nature now.

释义:对此我已经渐渐习惯,现在感觉这就是我的第二天性了。点拨:get used to sth/doing sth 意为“(变得)习惯于做某事”。 例句: He got used to living in a big city after he moved into his son’s house.

Keep this in mind the next time you feel like the world is crashing down around you.

释义:下次当你觉得周围整个世界都要崩溃的时候,请记住这一点。点拨:keep sth in mind 意为“记住某事”。the next time 指“下一次”,可以引导时间状语从句。例句: Of course, smile is good. You have to keep that in mind.

Choose the best words to fill in the blanks:

I recently got back in touch with a friend who I hadn’t seen in many years.

It was nice of him to reach out and send them to me, as I hadn’t heard them in years.As we chatted and caught up with each other, I came to find out that he and his wife had split up (分手). I’d known her as a friend as well, and they had a baby together.When I first heard the news, I was a bit 6.__________ (scared, shocked, delighted). What do you say to someone when they bring up something bad that has happened to them? It can be hard to know how to react.In my case, I simply said, “I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things are getting better now.” And really, that’s all that needs to be said in these 7.__________ (peaceful, painful, innocent) situations. If someone wants to talk about what’s troubling them, you don’t need to say much – you just need to 8.__________ (push, park, lend) an ear and let them talk. That’s the best way to help when someone is going through a difficult time.
