Jim Zetz,62，was diagnsed with stage 4 cancer and knew that he wuldn’t be arund fr all the big mments in his daughter Jsie’s life.S when Villatr heard abut the family’s heartbreaking stry，she decided t d smething special fr them.
“One day yu’ll wake up and realize yu’re given the pprtunity t change smene’s life fr the better，” Villatr wrte in the descriptin f the wedding vide.“Yu get an idea，dn’t think twice and run with it.It was an hnr ding this fr them.”
Villatr first met Zetz and his family when she was invited t take ne f their final family phts tgether.When Zetz’s wife mentined that Jsie was upset that her father wuldn’t be arund fr “memries dwn the line”，Villatr decided t help ut.
Amazingly，the phtgrapher managed t rganize a mini-wedding in the family’s backyard within 72 hurs! With the help f financial cntributins frm the lcal cmmunity，she gathered a wedding cake，dress，flwers，and make-up fr the little girl.Friends，family，and even strangers attended the event t shw their supprt.
“Yur dad may nt live t see yu get married，but he is here t walk yu dwn the aisle tday，” Gary Galbraith，the pastr(牧师)，said in the ceremny.“The daddy and daughter relatinship is ne f the mst special relatinships in life.”
At the ceremny，Zetz placed a ring n Jsie’s finger as the pastr called them “daddy and daughter”．Jsie’s mini-wedding cincided(同时发生) with her 11th birthday.Her mther said，“I knew it wuld be her last birthday with her dad.If I were Jsie，this wuld be the best gift anyne culd give.”
“It was a beautiful ceremny，” the neighbr Jennifer Stut said，“It’s sad t think f smene s yung lsing her dad but at least she will have a memry f this event.”
Why did Villatr help t rganize the wedding ceremny?
A. T celebrate Jsie’s birthday.
B. T meet Zetz’s demand.
C. T grant Jsie’s wish.
D. T cmfrt the dying father.

A. Jsie didn’t knw abut her father’s illness
B. the wedding ceremny gained much supprt
C. Jsie was nt satisfied with the wedding ceremny
D. Zetz was fighting his illness bravely

One f the greatest surces f unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see smething we dn’t like，we wish it culd be different.We cry ut fr smething better.That may be human nature，r perhaps it’s smething ingrained(根深蒂固的) in ur culture.The rt f the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things t be different.Hwever，it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad，rather than saying，“It’s nt bad r gd，and it just is it.”
In ne f my bks，I said，“Yu shuld expect peple t mess up and expect things t g differently than yu planned.” Sme readers said it’s t srrwful t expect things t g wrng.Hwever，it’s nly negative if yu see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead，yu culd accept it as the way the wrld wrks and try t understand why that is.
This can be applied t whatever yu d：hw ther peple act at wrk，hw plitics wrks and hw depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are，and try t understand why they’re that way.It will save yu a lt f sadness，because yu’ll n lnger say，“Oh，I wish bad things didn’t happen！”
Des it mean yu can never change things？Nt at all.But change things nt because yu can’t accept things as they are，but because yu enjy the prcess f changing，learning and grwing.
Can we make this wrld a better place？Yu can say that yu’ll cntinue t try t d things t help thers，t grw as a persn，t make a difference in this wrld.That’s the crrect path yu chse t take，because yu enjy that path.Therefre，when yu find yurself judging and wishing fr difference，try a different apprach：accept，and understand.It might lead t sme interesting results.
The authr believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .
we dislike smething in the beginning
it is ur natural emtin in the life
culture asks us t be different frm thers
everyne has their wn pinins n things
25. In Paragraph 4，the underlined wrd “It” refers t “ ”．
A. acting well at wrk and in plitics
B. feeling depressed fr the news media
C. accepting and understanding what has happened
D. saying smething negative when bad things cme
26. What is the main theme f the passage?
A. Judging gd r bad is imprtant fr ur wrld.
B. Expecting things t be different gives us hpe.
C. Traditinal culture becmes the rt f unhappiness.
D. Accepting can make ur life happier and better.

The researchers say the main prblem is creating actual cling systems using the high­tech panels.They say it may be pssible t develp a cling spray(喷涂)that culd be used n present slid structures.They believe the cling spray technlgy culd be develped in the next three t five years.They say as much as 15 percent f the energy used in the United States is spent prviding pwer t air cnditining systems.
