1.The teenage years should be the best years of your life!Young people often hear adults say this, but many teenagers disagree. They simply don’t feel like they’re in the midst of their best years. The pressures of school exams and concerns about relationships with family and friends create a great deal of stress for the average teenager. Many find ways to cope with the stress. But for a large number of teens, their problems seem impossible to deal with. When this happens, the young person may fall into depression.In mainland China, a survey found that 16 percent of college students suffered from fear, anxiety, or depression. Increasing mental health problems have prompted the government to look for possible solutions.This growing trend extends beyond Asia, too. Studies in the U.S. and the UK show that teenage depression is on the rise. A 2004 report stated that emotional problems among Britain’s youth have increased by 70 percent over the past 25 years.Faced with these startling numbers, mental health professionals are hoping to raise awareness. Depression can range from mild unhappiness to thoughts of suicide. For this reason, adults should take the illness seriously. Parents can do this by learning about the causes and symptoms of teen depression.Some factors that may lead to teenage depression are:●Overwhelming expectations by parents and other adults●Parental separation or divorce●Death of a loved one●Moving to a new location●Physical illnessMost of the time when teens are depressed, there’something wrong in their lives, says UCLA psychology professor Constance Hammen. Kids often get depressed because bad things happen to them that they don’t have the coping skills to deal with.If you are experiencing any symptoms of depression, you need to talk with someone. There’s no shame in being depressed. Most people suffer from it at one time or another.Unfortunately , feelings of depression may cause you to feel hopeless about your life and your future. But another person can help you put things in perspective.(1)In paragraphs 3 and 4, a survey in mainland China and a 2004 report are mentioned to ______________.A、indicate the contrast between mainland China and UKB、show teenage depression is a serious problem in mainland ChinaC、show teenage depression is a growing problem in UKD、indicate teenage depression is a growing problem in many countries.(2)Why do kids often get depressed according to Constance Hammen?A、Because bad things often happen to them.B、Because there’s something wrong in their life.C、Because they can’t deal with the problems.D、Because they are weak.(3)All of the following can fall into the category of depression EXCEPT __________.A、stressB、mild unhappinessC、some mental or emotional problemsD、thoughts of suicide(4)If you feel depressed, you should __________.A、be ashamedB、feel hopelessC、talk to someoneD、enjoy your best years(5)The word it in the last paragraph refers to ______________.A、a problemB、depressionC、shameD、a disease

2.Text 3Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise” -- the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line.” And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better, “It’s your dream,” says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s Medical Center. “If you don’t like it, change it.”Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep -- when most vivid dreams occur -- as it is when fully awake, says Dr, Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved; the limbic system (the “emotional brain”) is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. “We wake up from dreams happy or depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day.” says Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William Dement.The link between dreams and emotions show up among the patients in Cartwright’s clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don’t always think about the emotional significance of the day’s events -- until, it appears, we begin to dream.And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead; the next time is occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.At the end of the day, there’s probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping or “we waken up in a panic,” Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people’s anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working through bad feelings. Sleep -- or rather dream -- on it and you’ll feel better in the morning.31. Researchers have come to believe that dreams ________.[A] can be modified in their courses[B] are susceptible to emotional changes[C] reflect our innermost desires and fears[D] are a random outcome of neural repairs

3.Passage TwoWhen we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else is not so clear. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near sighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant (远处的) things clearly'.People who are nearsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object outof the other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background (背景) and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.40. We should take good care of our eyes ______.A. only when we cannot see perfectlyB. only when we can see wellC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are

    Sleeplessness
    Insomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause .In-somnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you .For women who are having night sweats,their sleep is broken by frequent a-wakening and therefore not refreshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns .If it doesn't it may be,or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know?
    if you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic insomnia. If you're not having night sweats then it's time to look for other causes of sleep-lessness. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disor- ders such as restless leg syndrome are second on the list of insomnia for them,there are new med-icines that may help. Other common causes are shift working,and pain.
    In up to 30%of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified.Medical treatment of these people has generally been with sleeping pills.It is estimated that 25% of the adult popu- lation in America took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleep-ing pills should only be in the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time.
    Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits.The recommendations are:-Go to bed only when sleepy.-Do not wait up to a specified time.-Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening,etc.

    The expression"Second on the list"in the second paragraph means______.
    A: the second least important cause of sleeplessness
    B: the second most important cause of sleeplessness
    C: the second on the doctor's list about sleepless people
    D: the second on the writer's list recording sleeplessness

    答案:B
    解析:
    本文第二句给了“insomnia”的定义,"Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you.”这三种情况都可叫做失眠。


    共提到六种,即night sweats, depression, anxiety disorders, movement disorders, shift working,pain。


    因第二段是列举失眠原因,second on the list指从重要性方面来看位于第二。


    第三段末句提到了安眠药,谈到“...sleeping pills should only be in the lowest dose...”即应使用最小剂量。

    5 Ways to Focus Your Energy During a Work Crunch Work invariably ebbs and flows,cycling between steady states,where we feel more in control of the pace and workload,and peak periods,where the difficult work situation hits us hard.Unexpected setbacks or even vacations and holidays can create disorder and tension.Maintaining focus and managing energy levels become critical as tasks pile onto an already full load.When you're in your next work crunch,there are a few things you can do to focus and manage your energy more productively:41.When an acute period hits,it's easy to resist the fact that it's happening.We wish for things to be like they were last month,or we long for the pace we had during vacation.By not being present to the here and now,we drain our energy by pondering on the situation.In fact,physicists define resistance as"the degree to which a substance or device opposes the passage of an electrical current,causing energy loss."In the case of a diffcult work situation,the more you oppose what's happening,the more energy you lose.Acceptance does not mean giving in.On the contrary,it means acknowledging the reality of the situation with awareness so that you can take clear action.42.Acceptance is particularly difficult given the underlying emotions that an acute work crunch can bring.Negative thoughts often predominate.David Rock,director of the NeuroLeadership Institute,suggests that,rather than suppressing or denying an emotion,an effective cognitive technique is labeling,whereby you take a situation and put a label on your emotions.By assigning a word to what's happening,such as"pressure","guilt",or"worry",Rock's research shows.you can reduce the arousal of the limbic brain's fight-or-flight system and instead activate the prefrontal cortex,which is responsible for our executive funcLioning sk川s.43.A research out of the Universiry of Pittsburgh shows that anxiety directly impacts our cognitive functioning,especially those areas responsible for making souncl decisions.Don't fall into a victim mentality.believing there are no choices or that you don't have control.Instead,bring greater vigilance to assessing your priorities,making tough trade-offs,and incorporating self-care where you can.44.Other people can be a real energy drain-or gain-during work crunches and set-backs.Pause and consider how you can renegotiate deadlines,set tighter bounciaries,or ask for more support during this time.Many of us pride ourselves on not bothering others and being self-reliant.The.se are great qualities,but there are times when we need to ask for help.Ask your loved ones for more help on the home front.Share the weight of the accountability for projects with your colleagues by delegating or teaming up,versus doing it all on your own.45.Probably the toughest thing of all during a work crunch or setback is how easy it is to beat yourself up,especially when you aren't hitting your high standards for work,Annie McKee,author of the forthcoming book Howio Be Happy at,Work,says this:"If you really want to deal with stress,you've got to stop trying to be a hero and start caring for and about yourself."45选?

    A.Communicate with your colleagues and loved ones
    B.Stop thinking any unrealistic things
    C.Accept the situation
    D.Preserve your sense of choice
    E.Control your negative emotions
    F.Observe and label your underlying emotions
    G.Practice self-compassion

    答案:G
    解析:
    段落首先指出人们在工作困境中最容易自责,之后借某书籍作者之言给出建议“谁都不是英雄,不要太过苛求自己,在困境中更要好好照顾关心自己,这样才能更有效地应对压力”,即,作者建}义人们要适时关心自己,[G]“练习自我同情”与之相符。

    People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
    "People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."
    So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:
    Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.
    Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.
    Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.
    Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
    Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.
    Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."

    By saying that forgiveness"can help save on the wear and tear on our organs",Frederic,Ph.D. means that_________.
    A:people are likely worn out by crying when they get hurt
    B:we may get physically damaged if we stick to the hurt
    C:our physical conditions benefit most from forgiveness
    D:the immune system is closely related with our organs

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。第二段:"People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.,…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰,更为乐观一些。“因此,原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗,降低免疫系统的疲劳程度,让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况,还有后句中的immune system也是如此。
    推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique.让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气,试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力)的方法。
    推断题。第五段中提到:Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
    推断题。第六段提到:Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出:如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害,那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
    推断题。第七段提到:Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love.尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题,也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知,要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题,也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。

    推断题。第五段中提到:Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
    推断题。第六段提到:Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出:如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害,那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
    推断题。第七段提到:Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love.尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题,也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知,要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题,也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。

  • 第12题:

    问答题
    Practice 10  Like most creatures on earth, humans come equipped with a circadian clock, a roughly 24-hour internal timer that keeps our sleep patterns in sync with our planet. At least until genetics, age and our personal habits get in the way. Even though the average adult needs eight hours of sleep per night, there are “short-sleepers,” who need far less, and morning people, who, research shows, often come from families of other morning people. Then there’s the rest of us, who rely on alarm clocks.  For those who fantasize about greeting the dawn, there is hope. Sleep experts say that with a little discipline (well, actually, a lot of discipline), most people can reset their circadian clocks. But it’s not as simple as forcing yourself to go to bed earlier (you can’t make a wide-awake brain sleep). It requires inducing a sort of jet lag without leaving your time zone. And sticking it out until your body clock resets itself. And then not resetting it again.  To start, move up your wake-up time by 20 minutes a day. If you regularly rise at 8 a.m., but really want to get moving at 6 a.m., set the alarm for 7:40 on Monday. The next day, set it for 7:20 and so on. Then, after you wake up, don’t linger in bed. Hit yourself with light. In theory, you’ll gradually get sleepy about 20 minutes earlier each night, and you can facilitate the transition by avoiding extra light exposure from computers or televisions as you near bedtime.  But recalibrating your inner clock requires more commitment than many people care to give. For some, it’s almost impossible. Very early risers and longtime night owls have a hard time ever changing. Night-shift workers also struggle because they don’t get the environmental and social cues that help adjust the circadian clock.

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    和地球上大多数生物一样,人类也有生物钟。这个内置计时器大概以24小时为周期,负责调节我们的睡眠模式,使之与地球的节律同步。至少在不受遗传、年龄或个人生活习惯影响的情况下是这样的。普通成年人每晚需要8小时睡眠,但也有“短睡眠者”,他们只需要睡很短的时间。还有自然就会早起的人。研究显示,这样的人,其父母先人往往也能自然早起。除此之外,其他的人要早起就得靠闹钟了。
    想要早起迎接黎明,还是有希望的。睡眠专家指出,经过一点训练(嗯,实际上需要很多训练),大多数人能调整自己的生物钟。但这不止是强迫自己早点上床那么简单(大脑很兴奋的时候,也睡不着)。这种训练需要人为制造时差感,但不必为此穿越时区。坚持训练,直到体内的生物钟调整到位,然后保持新的节律。
    首先,每天把起床时间提前20分钟。如果一般在早上8点起床,而你希望提前到6点,星期一就把闹钟定在7点40,星期二定在7点20,依此类推。其次,每天醒来后,不赖床,要让自己暴露在光线下。从理论上讲,每天晚上你会比前一天提前20分钟感到睡意。为了增强效果,临睡前应该避免电脑、电视等发出的亮光。
    但调整生物钟要下定决心,很多人觉得困难,有些人则根本做不到。起得很早的人和长期熬夜的人都很难改变作息规律。夜班工人改变起来也很吃力,因为他们接收不到调整生物钟所需的环境信号和社会信号。

    Sleeplessness
    Insomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause .In-somnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you .For women who are having night sweats,their sleep is broken by frequent a-wakening and therefore not refreshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns .If it doesn't it may be,or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know?
    if you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic insomnia. If you're not having night sweats then it's time to look for other causes of sleep-lessness. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disor- ders such as restless leg syndrome are second on the list of insomnia for them,there are new med-icines that may help. Other common causes are shift working,and pain.
    In up to 30%of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified.Medical treatment of these people has generally been with sleeping pills.It is estimated that 25% of the adult popu- lation in America took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleep-ing pills should only be in the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time.
    Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits.The recommendations are:-Go to bed only when sleepy.-Do not wait up to a specified time.-Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening,etc.

    Which of the following does not fit with sleep hygiene?
    A: Changing bad sleep habits and following doctors' advice.
    B: Trying not to drink any caffeine and alcohol in the evening.
    C: Going to bed when sleepy,not always at the same time.
    D: Making a rule to go to bed at a specific time every day.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本文第二句给了“insomnia”的定义,"Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you.”这三种情况都可叫做失眠。


    共提到六种,即night sweats, depression, anxiety disorders, movement disorders, shift working,pain。

  • 第20题:

    One thing most people these days seem absolutely certain about-and yes,this is a bit ironic-is that absolutist thinking is bad.Making inflexible demands of the world,then losing temper when they're unmet,is no path to happiness.Nor is seeing every issue in black and white,or refusing to be friends with anyone who doesn't share every one of your views.Absolutism is no healthier when turned inwards,either,where it manifests as perfectionism.Yet we all engage in absolutist thinking anyway,because it's easier:we cling to simple rules depression.It's easy to see why absolutism might trigger distress:the more rigid your map of the world,the more opportunities you're creating for that map to collide with the messiness of reality.


    答案:
    解析:
    如今,大多数人似乎绝对肯定的一件事情是:绝对主义思维有害(是的,这有点讽刺)。对生活提出刻板要求,未能满足就大发脾气,这并非幸福之道。认为世间万物非黑即白、非观点毫无二致者不结交,这同样无法带来幸福。绝对主义内化时表现为完美主义,同样于健康不利。然而,我们还是都会陷于绝对主义思维,因为这更容易:我们执迷于简单的法则,以期在原本极其复杂的星球上生存下去。遗憾的是,这一人皆有之的习惯倘若做得过火,反而会阻碍我们身体运转:越来越多的证据表明,绝对主义思维可能引发抑郁症。不难明白绝对主义为何带来痛苦:你对生活的图谱越是死板,你所创造的令其与现实的混乱相冲突的机会也就越多。

  • 第21题:

    资料:When we see well,we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
    People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes,Everything else seems blurry(=unclear).Many people who do a lot of work,such as writing,reading and sewing become near-sighted.
    People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away,but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading,they must get glasses,too.
    Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This,too,can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now,however,it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
    Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself,look at an object out of one eye;Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.

    We should take good care of our eyes______.

    A.even if we can see well
    B.only when we cannot see perfectly
    C.only when we realize how important our eyes are
    D.only when we can see well

    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】take good care of;our eyes
    【主题句】第1自然段When we see well,we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. 当我们看东西很清楚的时候,我们不经常想到我们的眼睛。只有当我们无法完美地看到时,我们才意识到我们的眼睛多么重要。
    【解析】本题的问题是“我们应该好好保护我们的眼睛________”A选项“即使我们能看得很清楚”;B选项“当我们无法完美地看到时”;C选项“只有当我们意识到我们的眼睛有多重要时”;D选项“只有在我们能够看得出来的时候”。根据主题句分析可知,我们无论何时都要保护好眼睛,不要在看不清的时候才意识到严重性,故A选项符合题意。

    People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
    "People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."
    So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:
    Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.
    Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.
    Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.
    Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
    Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.
    Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."

    When you try to calm yourself,you are actually trying to_________.
    A:recall things you love
    B:show you are angry
    C:relieve your stress
    D:breathe normally

    答案:C
    解析:
    推断题。第二段:"People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.,…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰,更为乐观一些。“因此,原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗,降低免疫系统的疲劳程度,让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况,还有后句中的immune system也是如此。
    推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique.让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气,试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力)的方法。
    推断题。第五段中提到:Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
    推断题。第六段提到:Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出:如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害,那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
    推断题。第七段提到:Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love.尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题,也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知,要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题,也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。
