You have often looked into a mirror, of course. But you haven't seen the real picture of your face yet.
And why couldn't you see it? When you look into a mirror, you don't see your face as other people see it.
You see a reversed picture. If you close your left eye, your picture closes its right eye. If you touch your
right ear with your right hand, your picture touches its left ear with its left hand.
     If you have two small mirrors, you can see your faces as your friends see it. You hold the two mirrors
at right angles (角度) to each other and look into them. After some practice you will be able to see the real
picture of your face.
    Now close your left eye and your picture closes its left eye too. Touch your right ear with your right
hand and your picture touches its right ear with its right hand! This happens because each mirror reflected
(反射) the picture in the other mirror. So you see a reversed picture of a reversed picture, which, of course,
is the same as the real picture.

      People all have problems. If we don't deal with these problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying
about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways and here is one of them.

                                   HOW AMERICANS LIVE

     New York is America's largest city, however, it may also be the country's loneliest city. People living
alone make up forty-eight percent of all households (家庭) on the island of Manhattan.
     "I think it's the best way to live," James Combo, a 35-year-old New York musician said,"If you want to
make a mess, you can make a mess. If you want to paint the walls a certain color, you can do it."
     In the USA, there are more single-person households than classic nuclear families----a married couple and
their natural children----according to a latest report. Other cities with high percentages (百分比) of single
households are Washington DC, St. Louis, Denver and San Francisco.
     The high number of single households shows today's values. People living alone, especially unmarried
women used to have something to do with sadness. That feeling is no longer true. Self-esteem (自尊) isn't
based on having children and being married any more.

1. New York may be the loneliest city of the USA because _______.

A. many people often feel lonely.
B. most of the people there often live alone.

     One of the strangest jobs at the Oscars is that of a seat-filler. When one of the stars needs to go to the
bathroom, a seat-filler sits in the star's seat. That way, the TV cameras won't show any empty seats. Kathy
Muller talks about her night as a seat-filler.
     (A) I was told to reach the theater in the middle of the day, wearing my dress for the evening. There were
about 200 of us seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told what we should and shouldn't do (for example,
"Don't talk to the stars"), and then (B) 我们一直等到五点钟. That's when the stars started coming.
     The show started at six o'clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came put to go
to the bathroom or have a cigarette (香烟), we were told to go and sit in their seat. (C) The show was three
hours long, and I only sat down five times. By the end, I was really tired, but I was happy because, during
the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (he's very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and
Julia Roberts. It was an exciting night, but I think (D)_______ year I'll watch the Oscars on TV at home like
everyone else!
