With all of the wonderful things life brings us, it also brings us stress. It is for this reason that I am an active supporter of mental health days.

Although it’s never good to ignore(忽視) responsibilities, sometimes it is good to unplug(拔除) from the world for a day. We eat healthy and stay active to keep us from getting sick, but sometimes we forget to care for our minds. Our minds and bodies are connected, and when only one is being cared for, the other may be suffering. It is important to try to combine self care with our lives and spend time on activities we enjoy. This helps relieve stress on a daily day.

So, what do you do on a mental health day? The answer is anything you want. Growing up, my brother and I were allowed a few mental health days a year. We would stay home from school and relax. For him, it was playing games on the computer, while my days were spent reading or watching TV. My mental health days now include picking things up around my apartment, cooking a tasty meal, and then reading for a few hours. I completely shut myself off from work or school. To me, this is relaxing. Organize the clutter(凌亂的東西) that piles up during the week, cook the meals I don’t have time to cook, and read the books that I’ve bought but don’t have time to read.

A mental health day is great, but only if it’s supplemented(增補(bǔ)) with self care through the week. From my experience, if self care is not regularly provided in your week, taking a mental health day is just going to stress you out even more. But when it’s needed, try hard to recognize that and take care of yourself. It will help keep you happy and healthy. A mental health day is not a day to avoid life, it is a day to recoup(恢復(fù)).

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?

A. People tend to ignore their mental health.

B. People should care for each other.

C. One should have a strong sense of responsibility.

D. Mental health is less important than physical health.

2.According to the author, on a mental health day people should _______.

A. stay at home alone. B. enjoy outdoor activities

C. do something meaningful. D. do whatever they want.

3.What did the author’s brother do on mental health days as a kid?

A. He cooked for his family. B. He played computer games.

C. He watched TV programs D. He read the books he bought.

4.According to the last paragraph, to keep mentally healthy, _______.

A. one needs help and care from other.

B. leading a regular life is unnecessary.

C. mental health days are not enough.

D. one should try to be physically friendly.

My best friends gave me a present in a box on my birthday. It was a little heavy, which made me very curiously. So I intended to open it at once but she prevented me do so. She said I mustn’t open it until I went back home but gave me a naughty smile. Although there is a strong desire in my mind to know that was inside the box, I just did as she said. On the way to home, all I did was thinking about the puzzle. Finally I opened the box. It was a cup printing with a pink word — friendship. It was so lovely that I liked very much.

Now, every time I use a cup, I will think about her and the friendship between us.

Last summer, after 16 years in the United States, I traveled to the city in Russia where I grew up. I was the first in my family to return after all those years. My mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my grandfather’s tomb at the local cemetery(公墓), and she asked me to visit it.

It was really important to her that I go there. My grandfather died when I was little, and she wanted me to remember him. He was still very much alive in her mind, and she wanted him to continue to live in my mind as well.

So I promised that the first thing I’d do when I arrived would be to visit the cemetery. However, I got caught up in work, and I had a lot of catching up to do with my childhood friends. It wasn’t until a day before I was leaving that I found time to go to the cemetery.

It was late in the afternoon, and right by the entrance was a lady who was selling flowers. By then she had only seven carnations left in her bucket. I bought them all, but when I reached for my wallet, I realized I didn’t have the map with me. I had no idea what had happened to that map. And I had no idea where my grandfather’s tomb was located.

I could call my mom and ask her. But the problem was that I had already told her I’d gone to the cemetery. What was I going to say?

I found the main office. Fortunately it was open, and inside was a small office. Behind the counter was an old woman, and she said she’d help me locate my grandfather’s records.

A couple of minutes later, she came back with a printout. It turned out there were 17 Abraham Pikarskis on the list. I chose the two whose age I believed closely matched my grandfather’s.

I set off to look for them. I hoped that at least one would have a portrait（肖像） on the tombstone. This way I’d know which tomb was mine.

I found the first tomb and it said Abraham Pikarski on it, but there was no portrait. Only an inscription (碑銘) : From the Loving Wife and Children.

I had no idea whether this was the right one, so I went off to look for the other one. I found it, too, and it was virtually indistinguishable from the first one. It said Abraham Pikarski, no portrait. The inscription was slightly different. It said: From the Grieving（傷心的） Family.

I had no idea what to do. Was my family the loving one or the grieving one? I was standing there waiting, thinking maybe some sort of special feeling would come to me. Maybe I’d feel some sort of close relationship with the person who was lying there.

I put three carnations on that tomb, and I went back to the first one. I stood there, too, for a while, and again I was hoping that I’d feel something special. But it was getting late, and I had to pack for the trip back to New York, so I put three carnations on this tomb.

I stood there with the last flower in my hand. Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to? Should I just throw it away? I had to come up with some sort of a solution.

Then, suddenly, I knew what to do. I put that flower on that same tomb where I was standing. I thought if this is really my grandfather who is lying there, then all is good, and he got the most. But if not, then let this be kind of comfort to the stranger, because somebody else’s grandson came all the way from America to pay his respects.

I went back to the hotel and flew home to New York the next day. I never found that map again.

Mom and Dad picked me up at the airport. On the way home from the airport, my mom started crying, “I’m so happy that you took the time to visit your grandfather’s tomb. It really means so much to me. You know when you called and told me you went there, I thought you were just saying it to make me feel good.”

When I was still in the air this morning, her cousin who lives in Russia had called and told my mother that she had just come from the cemetery and had seen my flowers there. So my mom knew that I had really done this.

Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw? Three or four?

But then I decided that maybe I should not say anything at all.

1.Why did the author visited his grandfather’s tomb just before he returned to America?

A. Because he was occupied with many other things.

B. Because he lost the map his mother drew for him.

C. Because he wasn’t well familiar with the cemetery.

D. Because he didn’t have affection for his grandfather.

2.Why didn’t the author turn to his mother when he couldn’t find the map?

A. He was able to locate grandfather’s tomb.

B. He couldn’t make up a reasonable excuse.

C. He intended to recover the map by himself.

D. He was unwilling to be thought to lie.

3.The author chose the two tombs out of the 17 according to ________.

A. their portrait

B. their age

C. their inscription

D. their location

4.Why did the author’s mother cry on the way home?

A. She kept grandfather in mind.

B. The author showed respect to a stranger.

C. The author kept his promise.

D. Her cousin found the flowers.

5.We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.

A. he was ashamed of having telling a lie to his mother

B. he was content to have presented the followers to a stranger

C. he got to know which tomb was his grandfather’s in the end

D. he thought there was no need to figure out the location of the tomb
