【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement? ”
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered. ”
Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”
No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.

【題目】It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(領(lǐng)悟).

So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (認(rèn)知的)performance or is it just a feeling?

Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn though to have close attention to detail.

What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test( one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,” suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.

This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?

From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown.(學(xué)位服).

1What is the main idea of the text?

A. Body movements change the way people think

B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings

C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance

D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes

2Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers’___________.

A. insights B. movements

C. attention D. appearance

3How does the author sound in the last paragraph?

A. Academic B. Humorous

C. Formal D. Hopeful

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低頭族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
(1)For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?
A.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B.To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
(2)Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A.His social skills could be affected.
B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C.He will cause the destruction of the world.
D.He might get separated from his friends and family.
(3)Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing?
A.Supportive.
B.Opposed
C.Optimistic.
D.Objective.
(4)What may the passage talk about next?
A.Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B.People addicted to phubbing.
C.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D.Consequences of phubbing.

【題目】How to keep a journal

Keeping a journal can be a way of giving your feelings an outlet like no other.1But it can be helpful to read suggestions for making the most of your journal,as well as some ideas about getting one started.

Find a journal medium that's perfect for you.2Both methods have advantages and drawbacks,so you'll need to weigh up what works best for you.For example,a paper based journal can be taken anywhere,never needs electricity.However,typing can be faster and easier in the electronic format.

Decide what kind of journal you'd like to keep.You could simply use your journal to write down all the thoughts that come to you at any particular time,randomly,or you could make your journal more focused on a specific theme to draw out something that you're trying to develop more of in your life.3

Find sources of inspiration.It's often easiest to start with your current feelings.4There are no rules at all about journal writing and you may find that your starting points vary every time you begin a new entry.Sometimes it is easier to begin with a narrative about something that happened to you during the day.Writing down the facts and events can open up a whole stream of consciousness as you're writing.

5Think about what things have become clearer to you from one journal entry to the next,and think about what hopes and dreams once written in your journal have now turned into reality.Use your journal to assess your life's journey.

A.Write down your feelings on paper and see where this takes you next.

B.Reflect over what you've written now and then.

C.Keep in mind that a journal is not about using a fancy book.

D.Decide how you want to keep your journal,either on paper or in electronic form.

E.Journal writing is a personal journey,determined wholly by your own thoughts.

F.It's fun to glue in little things of your life,like pictures you took of a breathtaking sunset.

G.And there is nothing saying that you can't keep both a random and a specific journal at the same time!
