In my late 20s, my world turned upside down in just 72 hours. My husband Doug worked at local construction

company, while I was a quality-control inspector for JanSport, a backpack manufacturer located in Wenatchee,

Washington. We were both extremely hard workers, but we could not work our way out of a declining economy.

Doug was laid off on Wednesday and, two short days later, I learned that my entire plant had decided to relocate to

Mexico to save money.

I didn’t react well to the news. I wanted to find a place to hide, but that wasn’t an option. I was scared when

my husband got his lay-off notice on Wednesday. I was still suffering from the uncertainty of how we would make

ends meet when I walked into work that fateful Friday and was told our plant was closing. At that point, I was

absolutely shocked, angry, scared beyond description, and at a loss as to what we were going to do.

Although money had been tight in our home for some time, our family had made a smart decision a few years

earlier that saved us from disaster. It had taken us two years, but we managed to save an emergency fund. In the

end, losing all of our family’s income sources in the space of three days didn’t break us. It made us stronger.

Instead of hiding from my problem, I picked myself up and decided to help improve my family’s

circumstances. There was actually a hidden blessing in the whole storm for me. Because my plant had closed

down, I was eligible to go to school under Job Training Partnership Act. Was it embarrassing to ask for help from

the state to improve myself? Sure. But in studying to be an accountant I was making a better future for my family

for years to come. I have also paid that help forward countless times, contributing time and money to the

community and sharing my story to help others help themselves.

6. What was the key to the author’s survival?

A. Family support. B. Her family’s deposit in the bank.

C. The money she spent earlier. D. The financial products she bought.

What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. The author got financial help from the state.

B. The author was lucky enough to be given a better job.

C. The author became famous for sharing her story.

D. The author managed to benefit from misfortune

During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to

keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and

cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes

on others, among whom I soon found myself.

Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology

sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others

qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed

ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and

even dishonorable behavior.

Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who

were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to

engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.”
