One day，a man telephoned Norman Vincent Peale．He was in great depression （沮喪，意氣消沉）and told Morman that he had nothing left to live for．Peale invited the man to his office．“Everything is gone，and I'm hopeless，”the mall told him．”I'm living in the deepest darkness．In fact，I've lost heart for living altogether．’’

    Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically（同情地）．”Let’s take a look at your situation，”he said calmly．On a piece of paper he drew a straight line down the middle．He suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost，and on the right, the things that had been left．”You won't need that column（欄；列）on the right side，”said the man sadly．”I have nothing left．”

Peale asked，”When did your wife leave you?”

 ”What do you mean? She hasn't left me．My wire loves me!”

    ”That's great said Peale enthusiastically（熱情地）．”Then that will be number one in the right-hand column：Wife hasn't left．Now, when were your children put into prison?”

    ”That's a silly question．My children aren't in prison!”

    ”Good! That's number two in the right-hand column：Children not in prison．”said Peale，writing it down．

After a few more questions in the same column，the man finally got the point and smiled in spite of himself（不由自主地）．”Funny，how things change when you think of them that way．”he said．

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案，并將其標(biāo)號(hào)填入題前括號(hào)內(nèi)。
These days, when the world seems to be hard to control, walking can make you feel peaceful. It gives you a chance to slow down, to relax and to appreciate yourself and your life in general. It helps you slow down enough to breathe deeply, to calm your thoughts, and to research the natural world filled with wonders. And yes, to love yourself more.
Try to spend one day for a long travel on foot—far from the requirements of work and family. First, choose a date and mark it as your “relaxing day”. Next, choose a place that you want to visit on foot. If you enjoy being out in nature, head to a wide and open place. Try to choose a place that’s no more than 15 minutes from your home. You want to spend your time walking, not driving.
Walk at an easy speed so you can walk longer and farther. If you normally walk two miles a day, go for four to six miles. Wear comfortable clothes. If it’s warm, wear a hat to protect your face. And don’t forget your sunglasses— not only to protect your eyes but also to give you a sense of privacy while you walk.
Before you go out, get up early so you can spend a few minutes relaxing. Relaxing is something few people spend in their spare time, but it leaves you feeling much lighter and less annoyed. Read something relaxing before you leave home, and it’ll put you in a different condition of mind. And, of course, eat a healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water. Then pick up your backpack and head out. And enjoy yourself.
【小題1】From the passage, we can control our feeling by______.
A．running a long wayB．having a long walk
C．talking with best friendsD．communicating with parents
【小題2】Walking can help you EXCEPT _______.
A．making you calmB．feeling more excited
C．thinking things calmlyD．breathing deeply
【小題3】What can you do to prepare if you plan to hike according to the passage?
A．Check the car carefullyB．Run for a long time
C．Wear comfortable clothesD．Take enough food and water
【小題4】Before you go out for a walk, you should _______.
A．eat a healthy breakfast.B．drink plenty of water.
C．get up early and relax yourself.D．a(chǎn)ll above.
【小題5】From the passage, we can know________.
A．the world is very peaceful now
B．we can have a walk to relax ourselves during busy days
C．when we want to have a long walk, we should let others drive a car
