This story is about Mrs. Jones, an 82-year-old lady. Although her life was hard, she was always nicely dressed every day. This morning Mrs Jones was moving to the nursing home. The nursing home was very busy. After hours of waiting, Mrs Jones still smiled sweetly when she was told that her room was ready.（1）在去她房间的路上，我告诉她房间是什么样子的。
Suddenly she said, “I love it!”
“But Mrs Jones, you haven’t seen the room yet!” I was surprised at her reply. She stopped and said, “Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is placed. (2) It depends on how I decide to think about the room. I have already decided to love the room before I actually see it.”
Then she continued, “I have a choice. I can spend the day in bed and consider how tiny my room is. Or I can just get out of bed and be thankful that I can still enjoy a new day. Each day is a gift. (3) I’ll enjoy my life and all the happy memories. I have stored them in my bank account (账户) before.”
Life is like a bank account. You can take out what you’ve put in. (4) If you have put a lot of happiness in your bank account, you can take out some of it when you feel sad.
Attitude (态度) is everything.

【解析】
本文讲述的是一位八十二岁的老妇人琼斯夫人的故事。她的生活很艰难，但是她每天总是穿得漂漂亮亮的。还未见到养老院的房间时，她就说自己喜欢自己的房间。她说一个人可以躺在床上抱怨自己房间的狭小，也可以起床感激自己可以享受新的一天。态度决定一切。
41．在去……的路上on the way to，她房间her room；我I；告诉tell；房间the room，上文已经出现过的名词，再次出现前面要用定冠词the；是什么样子的what…be like；整理之后可以看出，这里是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句，而前句用的是过去时，所以这里也用过去时，动词应该是told和was，故答案为On the way to her room. I told her what the room was like.
42．根据文中“Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is placed. (2) It depends on how I decide to think about the room. “我是否喜欢我的房间并不取决于家具的摆放方式。这取决于我对房间的看法。”可知，所以这里的it应该指的是“是否喜欢我的房间”这件事情，故答案为Whether I like my room or not.
43．根据文中I’ll enjoy my life and all the happy memories. I have stored them in my bank account (账户) before.句子结构分析可知，第二句中的them指代的是前句中的the happy memories，所以这里可以转换成一个定语从句，先行词就是the happy memories，且在从句中作宾语，所以关系词应该用which/ that，故答案为I’ll enjoy my life and all the happy memories which/ that I have stored in my bank account (账户) before.
44．If如果，条件状语从句的连词；you你，人称代词主格，在句中做主语；have put放，现在完成时；a lot of happiness很多幸福；in your bank account在你的银行账户；you你；can能够；take out取出；some of it它的一些；when当……时，时间状语从句的连词；you你；feel sad感到伤心；整理之后可以看出，这里是一个含有条件状语从句的复合句，且主句中又含有一个时间状语从句，故答案为：如果你把很多快乐放在你的银行账户里，当你感到悲伤的时候，你可以取出一些。
45．根据整个文章的理解可知，主要是通过一位82岁的老太太对疗养院房间的很好的态度告诉我们生活中态度决定一切，所以文章的主题应该是态度决定一切，故答案为Attitude is everything.

It’s always challenging to face fear. Here are some ways to help you overcome（克服）it.
Breathing
As we know, breathing can help us relax. If you purposely breathe out longer than you breathe in, your body will calm down. If you start to feel fearful, try this. Take a breath in (to a count of 7 in your mind), and then slowly breathe out (to a count of 11 in your mind). To your surprise, if you do this for a minute or so, you’ll calm down quickly. We call this "7/11 breathing".
Using a different part of your brain
When we feel fearful, it’s harder to think clearly. But if we force ourselves to use the part of thinking brain, this will help to calm us down. The easiest way to do this is with numbers. You can set your own fear from l to 10, 10 being the worst state and 1 being the most relaxed state. When you’re feeling fearful, ask yourself; “Okay, what grade do I get right now? 7 or 5?” Just doing this will reduce fear because it starts the thinking brain. Once I gave a speech to three hundred people and I felt fearful. So I graded myself at 6, and waited for myself to go down to 3 before starting. I took control.
Getting control of your imagination
Imagine seeing yourself in the situation you were scared, but see yourself being calm and things going well. Doing this starts to recondition your mind to more calmly face the coming events which were causing fear.
It seems that overcoming fear is always the first step to finish all you need to do and it will help you devote yourself to what you really want to be and to do. It takes efforts, but it’s worth your try.
