Ques: After the killer earthquake hit Sichuan Province on May 12, 2008, love and charity began spreading through China from all over the world. Rebuilding after the quake begins now, and it will last long into the future. First of all, the most important thing is to help the people in the disaster area take care of their mental health. Here are Professor Le's suggestions: Dos: Do have enough sleep every day. Do stay with your family and friends. Do treat yourself to healthy food. Don'ts: Don't hide your feelings. Don't feel shy to talk to others how you feel. Try to get them to understand you and they can help you. Don't run away when your relatives talk about their experience during the earthquake. Don't force yourself and your family to forget the disaster. But how long will it take to recover psychologically from the earthquake? "It depends on the person's character. They have to help themselves, which is more efficient than passively receiving comfort and sympathy from others," said Professor Le, a member of the Chinese Psychological Society. When did the terrible earthquake hit Sichuan Province? A) On May 12th B) In May 12th C) On May 13th D) In May 13th

Ques: It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home with tears in his eyes. "What's the matter, Tom? How's your trip?" his mother asked with a big smile. "I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back." Tom cried. "It doesn't matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance ." his mother said. "But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!" Tom said. His father came over and asked, "Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?" "Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road." Tom replied. "Did you hear the birds singing?" his father asked. "There are many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet." Tom said. "Did you feel the beauty of nature?" his father asked. "Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture." Tom answered. "That's enough!" his father smiled and said, "Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way." It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery is on the way. Tom's parents wanted Tom _ . A) to be friendly B) to be clever C) to be happy D) to be healthy
