You often plan for our holidays for a long time so that you can spend the period happily every year. As is often the case, your holiday plans came to nothing, or you don't want to see anyone, or you don't really know how to spend the holidays. _1.__

Give your time.

Volunteering is an activity that most of the experts suggested for people spending the holidays alone, offering your time at a nursing home or homeless shelter. __2.

Connect with strangers.

_3.__ A meaningful chat with a cashier, a good deed for another－these connections can lift your spirits, especially if you're apart from friends and family. You do yourself harm when you believe that love only unfolds between you and someone “special” to you.

_4.__

If you're feeling lonely and longing to see family and friends who are absent for the holidays this year, you can create special plans to meet them another time or during the next holiday season. Not only will this be something positive to look forward to, but it's an actionable plan that could relieve some loneliness down the road.

But don't be addicted to unhappy thoughts.

The key here is mindfulness. __5._ If you remain present and mindful and begin to listen to your thoughts about being lonely, you might discover that the thoughts are telling a one?sided story, and one that might not totally be true.

A. Plan for a future time to see family.

B. Acknowledge that you're unhappy.

C. Below are tips for enjoying the holidays on your own.

D. Try different ways to avoid those negative thought surrounding you all the time.

E. Even if you're not serving soup, there are other simpler connections to be made with strangers.

F. If you find yourself caught in that cycle of emotionally charged, negative thoughts about loneliness, stop and acknowledge these feelings.

G. It's not bad to think about yourself and your feelings, and helping others can give you a healthy and important break to consider the larger world around you.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆河南重點中學(xué)協(xié)作體高三第二次適應(yīng)性考試英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around，”Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃) son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child－talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (應(yīng)得到) to be an only child at least once in a while.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. The experience of the only child being with mother.

B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

C. The happy life of two families.

D. The basic needs of children.

2.Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______.

A. happy B. curious

C. regretful D. friendly

3.What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

A. The daughter acts like a leader.

B. Sam holds her hand more often.

C. The boys become better followers.

D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

4.The author seems to believe that ______.

A. having brothers and sisters is fun

B. it’s tiring to look after three children

C. every child needs parents’ full attention

D. parents should watch others’ children

Top chefs aren’t known for their friendly character. Assistants who overcook food by ten seconds usually struggle to get out of the kitchen alive. My father was a top chef. We’d had a stormy relationship for years, but I decided to follow in his footsteps anyway, and train as a chef. It was better than the dead-end I ‘d reach with the job I’d been doing.

After three years, I became head chef in a restaurant called The Tortoise. As the boss, I made important decision but if anything went wrong, I was the one who should take the responsibility. Experiencing the sweaty kitchens, I learned why my father was the way he was. When I began, I didn’t have my sights set on anything much---I just wanted a regular job—but soon I realized my career was taking off. The rich and famous started to visit the restaurant and eventually came the time when I had to decide about my future: I could either open my own restaurant or go and work for one of the big ones. Then life made the decision for me. My father tried and I got his job.

On my first day, I received an unfriendly welcome. No one would talk to me. What made it worse was that I was ill—I had a cold , and my hands were shaking as I went into the kitchen. I held my breath, stood up in front of everyone and said, My name is Leah Kleist. You all know my father. whether you loved him or hated him, I don’t care. He is the past. Now let’s get to work. And we did.

1.What will happen to assistants who overcook food?

A. They got punished B. They eat the food

C. They get some advice D. They get fired

2.Why did the author decide to work as a chef?

A. It was his favorite B. It was a better job.

C. He was forced to D. He lost his job.

3.What does the underline part tell us about the author?

A. He knew little about the job.

B. He misunderstood his father

C. He didn’t have a clear goal.

D. He had a very poor eyesight.

4.What caused the staff’s unfriendly attitude towards the author?

A. His lack of experience

B. His poor health condition

C. Their impression of is father

D. Their envy at his success
