When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, there are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.
Look in the mirror and say to yourself, “ I am a special person and there’s no one in the world like me. I can do anything!” It may not sound so good, but it really works.

A four-year-old girl is lying in the arm of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A few minutes ago a big bombing happened near her home in the south of Iraq.
Every day we see pictures like this on our television. We see young Iraqi children, asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they went through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.
All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down by the war. And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.
But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try to let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.
Nearly 50% of Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old. And 30% of them are suffering from malmutrition.
34. From the first paragragh, we know that ______.
A. the girl in the doctor’s arm is dead B. the girl’s mother is looking for her
