    In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget．But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant．The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.

    First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength．For then hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck．Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice．I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.

    I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor．I was paid the lowest wage of that time―two dollars an hour．Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible．I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.

    But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions．During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch．Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures．The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone．And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.

    I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked．By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.

49．Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?

       A．To pay for his schooling.                     B．To save for his future.

       C．To support his family                           D．To gain some experience

 

50．The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT ______.

       A．loading boxes in the freezing cold          B．having limited time for breaks

       C．working and studying at the same time   D．getting no pay for lunch time

51．What is the subject discussed in the text?

       A．The writer’s unhappy school life.          B．The writer’s eagerness to earn money.

       C．The writer’s experience to earn money.  D．The writer’s hard work in an apple plant.

52．How is the text organized?

       A．Topic―Argument―Explanation           

       B．Opinion―Discussion―Description

       C．Main idea―Comparison―Supporting examples                     

       D．Introduction―Supporting examples―Conclusion

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood （心情）will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, including the pessimistic（悲觀的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers.（“I still don’t have a job.” Vs” I have two interviews next week.”）
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. There include de3ep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(復雜的)but aren’t. One easy way to visualize, close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to unhappiness is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won’t improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate（刺激）your mind-something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.
【小題1】Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?

A．Draw a picture of something complicated．B．Put more sugar into your coffee．
C．Writing down negative thoughts．D．look ahead and write something positive．
【小題2】Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A．It helps raise your spirits．B．It brings us a new technique．
C．It is not complicated to do so．D．It is an area to be easily controlled．
【小題3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．You don’t have to be nice to your neighborsB．you often feel powerful when in bad mood
C．Some TV shows won’t energize youD．Slow exercise can gets you out of bad mood
【小題4】Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．How to Beat a Bad MoodB．Energy Level and Stress
C．Bad Mood and Our LifeD．How to Control Your Feeling

“Are you all right?” he asked.

I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Even in pain, I   46  took a quick moment to sniff for the smell of alcohol on his breath. There was none. He wasn’t   47 . I saw the   48  in his eyes.

I   49  to get to my feet. He held my arm as I walked difficultly to the nearby bus stop.

“My name is Mike,” he said. “That’s quite a fall you took, and you really need to get it checked by a doctor,” he said with deep   50 .

“This bus goes past the hospital,” I said.

Mike paused, and a look of sudden   51  crossed his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small cup. He took out all the change and held it out toward me.

“I think there’s just enough here for you to take the bus,” he said,

I was highly embarrassed as I remember my   52 . I reached for my purse and took out my change. At least ten dollars. I offered Mike all my change.

“Thank you and take care of yourself,” I said. Both of us knew that few minutes earlier I couldn’t have   53  what happened to him.

Mike held his cup tightly,   54  it as if it were the first gift he had ever received.

A half cup of change seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a   55  to every nameless face I’ve ever seen.
