4.We had it all
We thought we had it all-a beautiful house,three healthy children and one more on the way,two cars----and we loved it.We spent money like it was going out of style.Then,the market turned and my husband's job as a bigwig(大人物) at a construction company was gone.The company was closing down for ever.
We both started looking for jobs right away,but there weren't any to be found.With each passing day our panic increased and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through.The more we pulled together,the closer we got.I felt feelings of great love for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.①
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.I knew that he had no control over the economy,however,he constantly degraded (降低…身份)himself and his spirit sunk lower with each unkind comment.I continually asked him to stop,but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.②
Finally one afternoon I pulled him aside and said,"We have four healthy children.That's what's important.That makes you a rich man."
"But what if we lose the house?They'll hate me-you'll hate me."he replied.
I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye.③
"If we live in a cardboard box on the empty place across the street I will be happy-as long as I have you."I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't saying it.Somehow,in all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said"I do."
I could see relief wash through him as his shoulders and neck relaxed and the tension left his body.He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't in quite some time.④
We are still struggling financially,but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.

12.In the wife's opinion,what is important in her family?B.
A.A beautiful house
B.Healthy children
C.Expensive cars
D.Desirable jobs

C.The family has four children.
D.They live in a cardboard box.
14.Which is NOT the effect of the financial crisis towards the family?A

B.the husband wasn't a bigwig in the company any more.
C.The wife felt feelings of love for my husband.

14.Anger often makes us uncomfortable.When you find your anger uncomfortable to process,please let it go.But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself.Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way,you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.
Some kids deal with anger by creating a"false self':a child who is perfect for their parents.People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character.
  Ho w do we keep kids from creating false selves We need to raise them in an
e nvironment where it's safe to express feelings.Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger,you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion.When your kid expresses anger,help them examine what it is that has made them angry.Why did it make them angry How did it do that Then,you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid,our expressions of our emotions are within our control.

13.Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.(36)E.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.People are often less self-conscious when they're in poorly lit places---and so more likely to eat lots of food.(37)G.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.(38)C.
(39)B.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30minutes,And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.(40)D.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake jumps by 14percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.

A.Try not to chat over a meal.
B.Don't forget the clock or the radio.
C.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
D.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.
E.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.
F.Soft lighting is sure to add a touch of romance to your dinning room.
G.In contrast,dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating.
