Unit 3 Computers.阅读理解Today I want you to know Sadness can be a good friend.“All well and good，Master Yoda，” you say，“but how does that work？”First，Sadness is about losing something you care about，whether thats a loved one，a job，or a football game.So，Sadness shows you what you care about.Would you feel sad if your girlfriend / boyfriend left？The answer tells you how attached you are to this person.Along the same lines，experiencing the Sadness of loss helps us to appreciate what we still have.Funerals are painful occasions，and they are great for bringing people back together，burying old conflicts，healing wounds，but it only works if you show up and feel the Sadness and let it bring you together with the others there.One who cant bear Sadness will tend to shy away from love，commitment，and real passion，in order to avoid grief，and thats an empty life.Similarly，losing a job can help you appreciate that you still have your health.Losing your health can bring loved ones together.Losing money can help you to focus on what really matters to you，your values，your sense of mission，your spirituality.Lastly，Sadness has authenticity to it.Grieving has a way of slowing you down and bringing you back to the moment.It forces you to let go of your worries about your todo list and next quarters numbers and your fastpaced life and really be with yourself，your feelings and the people around you.This is important today because we can get so lost in our smart phones and emails and lose sight of people，relationships，and dreams.So，Sadness is the kind of friend who can help you to stay grounded and real，to honor whats important and let go of whats not，and we all need that kind of friend.1The best title for the text would be_.AWhy Sadness Is Your FriendBHow Sadness Works in Your LifeCWhat Do You Think of SadnessDWhy You Feel Sad2How many reasons why Sadness can be a friend are mentioned in the text?AOnly one.
