　　D

　　Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it--- using her key.

　　Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.

　　When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report.

The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.

　　When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom(赎金),” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged.

　　Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition(点火装置)as well - so high-five for Toyota. I guess." he said.

　　33. What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?

　　A. damaged. B. removed. C. stolen. D. sold.

　　34. What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?

　　A. He should thank Toyota for returning his car.

　　B. He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.

　　C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.

　　D. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.

　　35. What is likely to happen next according to the passage?

　　A. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.

　　B. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.

　　C. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.

　　D. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.

　　At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 36 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.

　　37 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

　　Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 38 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

　　Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 39

　　Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 40 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.

　　It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.

　　A. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.

　　B. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.

　　C. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.

　　D. The next time you fell depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.

　　E. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.

　　F. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not.

　　G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.
