Most people hate change, which is sad since We often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.
But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don't merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know—your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!
8. Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy
A．Because they didn't like the design of the Eiffel Tower.
B．Because they couldn't avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.
C．Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.
D．Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.
9. How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring
A．We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.
B．We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.
C．We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.
D．We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.
10. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A．The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.
B．The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.
C．Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.
D．Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A．The Psychology of Change
B．The ways to Overcome the Fear
C．Changes That Disturb Us
D．The Bad Effect of Changes

Living in harmony, people can share various kinds of interests and accept different opinions without showing disagreements.
During the Warring States period, Lin Xiangru was granted the title of Shangqing. Lian Po, an old general, thought he was just a weak scholar, so he wanted to do something to make him feel ashamed. When Lin Xiangru knew this, he focused on national affairs. Later, Lian Po learned that Lin Xiangru’s action was based on state affairs, so he made an apology. They became friends and worked together to serve the country.
