科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲觀的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(復(fù)雜的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
小題1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A.Doing nothing about it.
B.Exercising and enjoying music.
C.Writing down negative thoughts.
D.Talking about it with neighbors.
小題2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A.It helps remove bad mood.
B.It brings us a new technique.
C.It is not complicated to do so.
D.It is an area to be easily controlled.
小題3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A.shows what happens around you
B.does not energize you
C.reminds you of eating and drinking
D.produces a calming effect
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Energy Level and Stress
B.How to Beat a Bad Mood
C.Bad Mood and Our Life
D.How to Control Your Feeling

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn))in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -----“That’s not a problem here,”-----Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity(關(guān)注), leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
小題1:It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____.
A.receive too many visitorsB.mirror the rest of the nation
C.hide the truth of campus crimeD.have too many watchdog groups
小題2:The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _____.
A.mindB.a(chǎn)dmitC.believeD.expect
小題3: We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges _____.
A.that are protected by campus securityB.that report campus crimes by law
C.that are free from campus crimeD.that enjoy very good publicity
小題4:What is the text mainly about?
A.Exact campus crime statistics.B.Crimes on or around campuses.
C.Effective solutions to campus crime.D.Concerns about kids’ campus safety.

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (細(xì)菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.
After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
小題1:When you cough or sneeze, you should ________.
A.touch everythingB.cover your mouth
C.point out to the kidsD.pass the germs to others
小題2:If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better _______.
A.hold the doorB.pass throughC.close the doorD.stand to the side
小題3:From the passage we ca know the writer is a ________.
A. doctorB.travelerC.parentD.teacher
小題4:A. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the rules of behavior in public         B. the easy of communication
C. the acts of kindness among people      D. the knowledge of social life
