Some Ways to Deal With Hardship and Pain in Life
Regardless of the difficulties you way face, it’s getting back up and moving forward that counts the most when you need to deal with hardship. 1.
Write or talk about how you feel
Keeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations.2. Although talking to strangers about your issues may seem crazy, it actually isn’t.
3.
It is said that running away from your problems will never help，and though that’s partially true，it doesn’t mean that you need to make yourself go so deeply into a situation that you run out of air to breathe and lose the ability to weigh the pros and cons of your choices．That happens more than we like to admit，which is why it’s important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders．
Remind yourself that you’re not alone
Regardless of who or what you depend on，you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care．4. Sometimes it’s strangers who may share the same feelings as you do．Think about it—you may not know any of these readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you，so in fact，no one is truly alone．
Accept the results and get back up again
5. Whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, it’s time for you to accept them and get back up．This time you have a new experience to add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down，it won’t be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward．Life will go on，time will never stand still，and it rests upon you to make the right decision of moving forward．
A．Separate yourself from the situation．
B．Tell yourself to accept the hardship.
C．Finally，it’s time to accept what has happened．
D．All in all，remember that life is short．
E．Not only did I speak to him about how I felt，but I decided to blog about it．
F．Here are some things I've tried just to help me believe in a brighter future and get over a tough situation．
G．Even if it’s just one person，that’s enough to give you reason to remind yourself that you will never truly be alone．
Shenzhen’s transport police recently declared a policeman a “star” member of staff, after he continued to serve in his post even after losing his newborn son. After a netizen made that known, internet users were merciless in their criticism, claiming Sun had sacrificed his son for his career and was unqualified to be a father or even a human being. Though Sun’s wife said via her micro blog he was the best husband and father in the world, it didn’t stop the tide of condemnation.
I feel deeply sorry for this man. It’s not that he should have received the award. It’s traditional in China for individuals to make sacrifices for a group or the country, which remains to be questioned. What annoys me is the netizens pouring anger on the father instead of showing sympathy. Why are they so quick to claim the moral high ground and set themselves up as judges? Whether the father accompanied his son until the last moment or not is a personal affair. The treatment of Sun is a case in point—of the “tyranny(专制)of the majority”. And the majority is not always correct or fair.
Micro blogs have been a growing trend in China in the last few years, becoming a channel for ordinary people to express their opinions, which was previously the preserve of elites(精英) and the media. The positive side of this has been praised enough. But we also need to examine the downside: Self-proclaimed（自诩的）online arbiters of what is right and wrong form another type of unfair rule running cruelly over opinions that don’t match their own. Without knowing enough details and without any serious thought, they pronounce their judgment as opinion of the “majority”.
We should question this expression of personal opinion and the commonness of group attacks. What we need is real, independent critical thinking instead of an Internet mob（暴徒）.
I have no idea how to change the situation but I do hope it happens.

We have an amazing 99 friends at the age of 21--more than at any other time in our life, according to a new study. The typical 21-year-old’s social circle nearly hits 100, with 13 “best” friends, 17 “close” friends and 70 acquaintances.
The research undertaken by skin care brand Nivea found our social circle peaks at 21 as we meet people at work while keeping in touch with friends from school and university. But as our working lives take over，we lose contact with some old friends causing the number to drop to around 68 by the time we are 29 years old. Although this decline continues into old age，it slows down slightly for people in their 30s when many of them become first-time parents. It is believed that this is because people form new friendships while on the maternity ward(产科病房)，at post-natal(产后) groups and when taking their toddlers(学步时期的小孩) to nursery.
The Nivea Closeness Report found the balance between our numbers of “best friends”，“close friends” and “acquaintances”，remains fairly constant throughout our lifetime. The average Briton has 18 close friends and a friendship circle，when all Facebook and other social networking “friends” are included，of 208 people. The report found that men have more than twice the number of close friends，with around 27 compared to women who have just 12. Londoners are also the most sociable，with 39 “close friends”，while the Welsh have just 11.
The age of 21 is such a critical junction in life and that’s why we have so many friends then. As we get older we become more selective and have fewer close friends with whom we talk about the things that are really important to us. Perhaps when we are younger，instead of having one trusted confidante(知己) we share different things with a variety of different people.
1.According to the Nivea Closeness Report，who have the largest number of close friends?
A．Canadians. B．The Welsh.
C． Londoners. D．Americans.
2.Older people have fewer friends than the 21-year-olds because .
A．they think friends are no longer important
B．they are more selective and cautious
C．they are less interested in making friends
D．they have little time to make friends
3.The research suggests that the number of friends in one’s late twenties reduces by or so, compared to that in one’s early twenties.
A．70 B．20 C．30 D．200
4.Why does the number of one’s friends decrease slowly when he is about 30 years old?
A．Because they achieve success in business and get acquainted with more colleagues.
B．Because many parents make friends with people who have similar experiences in bringing up children .
C．Because they make more friends through Facebook or the Internet.
D．Because as they grow older, they have more confidantes instead of acquaintances.

A group of 1309 passengers boarded the MS Balmoral on Sunday, in Southampton, England, on a voyage to retrace(重走) the path of the Titanic. The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world when it sailed on its ill-fated first voyage on April 10, 1912. Of the 2227 passengers and crew aboard, more than1500 died. The ship, which was headed for New York City, carried the rich and famous on its first voyage. It also carried immigrants who were seeking a better life in America.
Relatives of people who sailed on the Titanic, historians, authors and people fascinated by the story of the unsinkable ship were on the Balmoral. They wanted to remember the Titanic and those who died on her first and last voyage.
The Balmoral is following Titanic's original route from Southampton. First, the modern-day cruise liner docked（进港） in the port of Cherbourg, France, where the Titanic had picked up more passengers. On Monday afternoon, the Balmoral stops in Cobh, Ireland, the Titanic's last port of call before sailing to New York.
The Balmoral then sailed the North Atlantic Ocean to the location where Titanic hit an iceberg . On Sunday, April 15, at 2：20 a. m. --- the time the Titanic went down---passengers and crew held a memorial service. The next two days were spent in Halifax, Canada, where many victims of the sinking are buried. Then, the Balmoral will reach its final destination in New York City, where Titanic was supposed to dock—but never did.
So far, several teams of divers have explored the site. They have recovered some items such as dishes and silverware and put them on public display. And more trips are planned to the wreckage in the future. The Titanic and its passengers and crew have been remembered in books, movies and TV programs. But there's a much more important contribution that Titanic gave us. After she sank, lawmakers and shipbuilders made ships safer. It took a terrible tragedy to make ship travel safer for all.
1.We learn from the first paragraph that .
A．about 700 passengers of the Titanic survived.
B．the Titanic sank on its second voyage.
C．less than 2000 passengers boarded the Titanic.
D．all the passengers’ hopes of the Titanic lay in America.
