*Question*
Bad days happen to us all. Often a day that starts out bad just continues to get worse. Sometimes there's a "domino effect " with bad events. For example, you sleep through the alarm, so you're stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic, which will also make you late for work, etc. How can we turn a bad day to a good day? Here are some ideas that have worked for me: Smile a lot Smiling a lot will help you feel relaxed. Research has shown that smiling produces three useful chemicals which make us feel good. Talk to a good friend Keeping bad or unhappy things in your mind is not a good idea. Talking to someone who cares and listen really does help us feel better, too. Concentrate on your good things It's hard to concentrate on how bad things are when you're concentrating on how good things are! Think of 10 or more things you're thankful for, and you'll achieve a whole new outlook on your day. Get some exercise If you can, go for a walk. Exercising will help you feel better. Excising can get your day back to be normal again. Make the day a challenge If you make yourself think of the day as a challenge, you'll start to do all the things you can to make your day better. ,. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A) When we should smile a lot B) How to deal with problems C) How to turn a bad day around D) What we should concentrate on

It can be dangerous to travel by sea. Ships sometimes sink far away from land. When this happens, the sailors have to get into small boats. If another ship does not come and help them and they do not have enough food or water, they will die. Most people believe we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do, we shall be very ill because of all the salt in the water. A doctor called Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that people could stay alive by drinking sea water and eating small fish, animals and plants from the sea. On 19 October 1953, he set out in a small boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean . He did not take any food or water with him. Every day Dr. Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish and they had water in them. He drank this water. He could not cook the fish, so he ate them as they were. He took small plants from the sea, which gave him more food. Dr. Bombard became hot, tired and quite ill, but after 65days at sea he was still alive. He traveled 2,750 miles from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and on 24th,December 1953, he reached Barbados.
