第三部分 任务型阅读（满分15分）阅读下列短文，完成后面表格填空．注意：每个空格只填一个单词．

• 7．Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard，when there's nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse．But why sit and think how pathetic （可怜的） you are？There are some things that may help you lift up your mood．If it fails you，at least while doing these things you won't have time to think of your problems．You win anyway!
  The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively．It's very hard，because usually when we feel depressed we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad character issues we have．But if you try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee，the chances for changing your mood into better are very good．Just try to avoid bad thoughts．Instead，try to think only about the bright side of your life．Don't forget：We are what we think we are．
  You should also try doing something only for yourself，something totally selfish．This could be something you wanted for a long time：maybe a short trip，a coat，a ring or anything that could lift up your mood．This doesn't have to be costly．The point of all this is being good to yourself．Besides giving presents to yourself，buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy．Think of your friends，family，relatives or even local charities，choose one person and give him a gift．Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind．
  Try to concentrate on the present and future to make your life better in every possible way．Most bad moods and mental attitudes are the result of something that happened to us in the past．It is vital to your mind，soul，body and your life on the whole that you stay in the present with all your thoughts and feelings．
  If you have too much time，volunteer it．We usually think that the problems we have are huge，although if you try to go to hospital，you'll see that there are a lot of people who have more severe problems．Moreover，you'll see that people are still working，smiling and laughing．This kind of work will definitely help you understand that your problems are very small and maybe even funny．
  Don't forget to be creative!Creating doesn't include only painting or playing an instrument，it also includes cooking，sewing，writing，photographing and many other activities．While concentrating on creating，you will forget how you have been feeling．
  All you have to do is to take control of your emotions and make them positive instead of letting them control you．Making yourself feel better isn't that hard．It's hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood．
  

  Title：Lift up Your Mood
  （56） that everyone can meet with in their lives	Everything seems very hard and there is nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse．
  （57） to lifting up your mood	Socialize and think in a （58） way．	•（59） bad thoughts will probably give you a good chance to change your mood．
  	Give presents to others （60） from yourself．	•The roses in her hand；the （61） in mine．
  	Concentrate on the present and future．	•By acting like this，something bad in the past （62） in bad moods may be driven out of your mind．
  	Spend your spare time doing （63） work．	•By seeing and helping people in （64） ，we can understand our problems better．
  	Don't forget to be creative．	•Focusing on creating will make you forget how you feels．
  Conclusion	You have to control your emotions and make them positive instead of being （65） by them．

     A warm-hearted gentleman generously offered his seat to the old lady．Instead of sitting down herself，however，the old lady called her grandson over and told him to sit．
     Sooner or later，children mature and step into the complicated world．Love is necessary in the early development of children，yet，to the disappointment of many，too much love definitely prevents children from learning the rules of the real world．Teaching the child about the rules of society within the family helps the child to achieve success later．By giving up seats to their children，grandparents may destroy kids' best chance for character development．
