“Hey, do you know what? Today is May Day！” my sister announced. “Do you remember the May Day baskets we used to make with colored paper and paste？”
I recalled that my sisters and I would run around our neighborhood delivering the baskets brimming with spring flowers. We would place them on a doorstep, knock on the door, then run away. It was delightful to look around a bush and watch our friends open their doors and pick up the colorful gift，wondering who had left it out for them.
I clearly remember the May Day of the year that I was in fifth grade. That year I was faced with a challenge involving one of my dearest friends. She lived right across the road from our family, and we had walked together to school nearly every day since first grade.
Her interests were starting to change from the interests that we had shared together. A new family had recently moved into our small town，and Pam was spending more and more time at their house.
When my mother asked me if I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam's house, I responded angrily, “Absolutely not！” My mom told me that I would have many other friends throughout my lifetime. “But Pam was my very best friend ever，” I cried. Mom wiped away my tears and told me that circumstances change and people change. She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what we want to be. And sometimes that would mean that friends would choose to spend time with other people. I could express my forgiveness by giving her a May Day basket.
It was a hard decision, but I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam's favorite color. I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As we watched from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn't forget me！”。

“Is it possible for Brownie not to be glad to be back after a happy stay at my uncle's？”Miss Gauss asked Dad.“It'll be all right. Give her a bit more to eat，” he said in a low voice, without tearing his eyes from Brownie while his wife was busy packing Brownie's belongings, saying，“Brownie is not so cute as her younger brother, Spotty. Take care of the little thing when walking him.”
It happened on the night of July 10th, 2013 before the Gausses took a trip to Hawaii. They entrusted their pet to me because they thought I was the first person they'd confide in. And another intention of theirs was that I had already trained Spotty into a wellknown pet in my community, which can act many tricks, such as “Sit down！” “Stand up！” “Give me your right hand！” “Turn around！” She can even sing, and, of course, that's just a strange sharp noise. Having seen them off, I took beautiful Brownie home in my arms, for fear that he would slip away.
Brownie_was_the_kind_of_gogo_but_unsocial_baby,_so I tried many ways to be his friend, which made Spotty rather unhappy. They often fought a battle, seemingly to break my roof loose. Soon, Brownie turned out to be an agreeable family member. He was an endearing pet, often begging for comforts in my arms. I seized the chance to train him and he achieved a lot, which I texted Mr.Gauss. They were so overjoyed and decided to fly home ahead of time to see Brownie's qualitative change.
But，all this was thoroughly destroyed because of Brownie's death in a traffic accident. What a poor little creature！He was really dogged(紧随) by bad luck, and he was saved from death shortly after his birth. For whatever reason，therefore, I was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, which seemed to run most deeply in me.
The best way to cheer ourselves up is to try first to cheer somebody else up. That will be an everlasting pain in my heart, a wound that does not heal.
1. What is suggested in the first paragraph?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. A sign of tragedy.
D. Background of the accident.

A. his owners would go on a trip
B. he was just saved from death

Comparative thinking and behavior is quite typical among teenagers, but it is the responsibility of the parent to set limits and hold firmly to them. Frequently, a parent will tell me in frustration about how their child has complained about not having the very best in fashion design like their friends, or the latest electronic gadgetry that all the other kids own.
Parents need to teach their children selfconfidence. Those who are selfconfident resist the urge to compare themselves to other people, and do not overestimate others' experience while diminishing their own. But some people may have a mantra signified by the slogan, if only. “If only I had the money of my brother; if only I was smart like my classmates; if only I was as goodlooking as my friends.”
Comparing oneself with others is a trap. People who compare themselves with other individuals tend to feel that they are not good enough. They tend to perseverate(表现执拗)about their shortcomings. Even if they try their best，it is not good enough because they can always find someone who performs at a higher level. When people compare, they generally focus on their negative traits. They ignore all that is going right in their life. They also tend to minimize their success and dismiss positive gestures and compliments.
Those who are confident listen to their own inner voice. They are not influenced by other people's view of events. They are not overly impressed by others' success, money, health，and material possessions. They do not believe that others have a greater sense of emotional wellbeing than they do.
Recently, The Harvard Mental Health Letter published an article which indicated that people with chronic(慢性的)pain had as significant a sense of wellbeing as those without chronic pain. However, those with chronic pain tended to overestimate the emotional wellbeing of physically healthy people. The study confirmed that it is how we view events that is important, not the nature of our circumstances which may include making comparisons.

A. care about their success

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us________.
A. people tend to compare themselves to other individuals
B. those who make comparisons focus on their strengths
C. those who make comparisons don't deserve compliments
D. making comparisons can cause many negative effects
3.The article published in The Harvard Mental Health Letter indicates________.
A. chronic pain actually doesn't affect people's sense of happiness
B. physically healthy people have a higher sense of happiness
C. emotional health has nothing to do with physical health
D. what is important is the nature of events rather than our viewpoints
4. What is the author's attitude towards “making comparisons”？
A. Favorable. B. Unconcerned.
C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
