The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking almost broke the mother's heart, "I'm sorry, Honey, but we have no money to buy it." My son was watching that dialogue. By the way, he had been raking leaves our garden to raise himself some money to buy a bike. As he watched the mother and daughter leave the store, he ran to the candy counter and bought a box of Smarties with the money . He turned to look at me and I just nodded. He ran out after the little girl and her mother and he gave them the box. He came back and told me what he told them. "Every kid should have a pack of Smarties because they can make you smart." I was so excited that I bought a pack of Smarties for my son. I told him that I was proud of him, and that was for his act of generosity because he gave his own Smarties to others. Quickly, he replied, "But you do nice things for people and you never get anything for it."I explained, "When you do something nice for someone, you shouldn't expect to get anything. When you get something you should be very thankful." Question: The writer was _ to see her son buy a pack of Smarties for the little girl. Options: A: sad B: excited C: angry D: proud

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. ,. Question: Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? Options: 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
