Unit 1 Laugh out Loud!
单元话题阅读理解练习
(23-24高二下·湖北·阶段练习)Today’s teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they’re also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges? While there’re no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self-compassion.
Self-compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you’re having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they’re a normal part of life. This may sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something’s happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self-critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault.
In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use.
In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self-compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full-blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self-compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious.
Although we can’t determine how self-compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you’re feeling, you’re not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you’re coming from.”
Self-compassion won’t solve all teens’ problems. But it’ll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self-compassion course, “You know, it’s changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference.

(23-24高二下·广东佛山·期中)Just a year ago, Sarah fulfilled the dream of owning her own bakery, which was very popular in the local and provided a well-off life for Sarah and her family. But last February, all fell apart, after a car accident left Sarah disabled. “I could barely talk or move,” she sobbed.
Darkness and depression drowned Sarah, help seemed out of reach; she couldn’t afford a psychologist. Even worse, she had no health insurance.
So her doctor suggested a mental-health app which offers free chatbot service. It is described as a “friendly” and “mental” tool, asking the patient some questions, like “How are you feeling?” or “What’s bothering you?”After the patient responds to the questions, the computer analyzes the words and phrases in the answers, and then delivers supportive messages which have been prewritten by trained human psychologists.
That is how Sarah found herself on a new frontier of technology and mental health. Advances in artificial intelligence are increasingly being looked to as a way to help people who suffer from mild depression or anxiety.
There are, of course, still plenty of doubts about whether machines can read or respond to the human emotions accurately. “Artificial intelligence is still not at a point where they can copy the complexities of human emotions, let alone imitate mental care,” a psychology professor in a mental health center said.
However, supporters of chatbot treatment say the approach may also be the only realistic and affordable way. It meets a huge worldwide need for more mental healthcare at a time when there are simply not enough professionals to help all the people who could benefit.
5.What can we know about Sarah from the first two paragraphs?
A.Her family fell apart in an accident. B.She was nearly drowned in an accident.
C.She suffered a series of misfortunes then. D.Her dream came true despite an accident.
6.Why do people doubt about the chatbot?
A.It is unable to respond to human emotions. B.It may not react to human emotions correctly.
C.It copies the complexities of human emotions. D.It imitates mental care from human psychologists.
7.Which of the following may be the purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce a free mental-care chatbot. B.To encourage readers to learn from Sarah.
C.To suggest a new way to do mental research. D.To call for more attention on mental healthcare.
(23-24高二下·广西·阶段练习)Have you ever felt numb, overwhelmed, or excessively anxious after seeing the flooding of suffering shown on the news, Internet, and social media? I know I have — and I recently learned that this feeling has a name: compassion fatigue (疲劳).
For decades, researchers have studied compassion fatigue among health care workers, therapists, social workers, vets, and other people who are frequently exposed to other people’s trauma at work. Over time, they can develop emotional exhaustion or even PTSD-like (类创伤后应激障碍) symptoms—including difficulty sleeping, anxiety, and feeling triggered by troubling stories or memories—as a result of immersing themselves in the problems of others, studies show.
While compassion fatigue hasn’t been widely studied among the general population, experts agreed that it can affect anyone, even those who are witnessing trauma from afar. That means almost everyone is at risk these days, because of ongoing conflicts even wars between countries, frequent gun violence, and other difficult world events that are all over the news and social media. Triggers (诱因) vary from person to person, experts say, so there’s no way to know for sure what will cause compassion fatigue. If you are reacting more strongly than usual to difficult situations—perhaps by yelling at others or growing angry when you’re usually level, you may be experiencing compassion fatigue.
To protect yourself from compassion fatigue, the experts recommended taking purposeful breaks from the news to focus on personal wellnes — such as by spending time outdoors and with loved ones — and finding ways to give back to your community and remember the good in humanity.
8.What does the underlined word "trauma" mean?
A.Dilemma. B.Fear. C.Embarrassment. D.Injury.
9.Which of the following is NOT a symptom of compassion fatigue?
A.Being lost in the possible failures.
B.Having difficulty in sleeping well.
C.Involving themselves in others’ pain.
D.Feeling much worried about something.
10.What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 3?
A.Everyone is possibly affected by compassion fatigue.
B.Compassion fatigue has been researched worldwide.
C.Social media is the main cause of compassion fatigue.
D.Bad-tempered people are easier to experience compassion fatigue.
11.What do the experts advise readers with compassion fatigue to do?
A.Pay more attention to good news.
B.Read plenty of books on humanity.
C.Stay with the ones like parents and friends.
D.Make every effort to build a better community.
(23-24高二下·江西赣州·阶段练习)“Anxiety.” The very word invites discomfort. Its effects — shortness of breath, pounding heart, muscle tension — are definitely upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion. In and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, nor is it a disease. Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us.
We all know working out at the gym is hard. By nature, a “good workout” is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do. The sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension. For example, one effective treatment for fear is exposure therapy (疗法), which involves gradually being exposed to things that make one anxious, reducing fear over time.
Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support”), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love.
From time to time, we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平) going out of balance. Focusing on work and pretending everything is OK only leads to disastrous results. Medical treatment for stress may function for a while, but it tends to make things worse in the long run. The only solution to dealing with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.
12.What does the author say about anxiety?
A.It is an invitation to diseases. B.It indicates stable mental health.
C.It is a natural emotional expression. D.It costs us many valuable chances.
13.Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2?
A.To prove how exercise influences emotions.
B.To suggest an effective way to challenge limits.
C.To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength.
D.To show a positive connection between mind and body.
14.What is Johnson’s attitude towards being straightforward about one’s anxiety?
A.Favorable. B.Dismissive. C.Suspicious. D.Critical.
15.According to the text, how can we deal with stress?
A.Devote more energy to our work.
B.Master advanced mathematical skills.
C.Seek professional medical treatment.
D.Balance the demands and available resources.
(23-24高二上·福建龙岩·期末)When Shakespeare called a good night’s rest the “cure of hurt minds,” he was really onto something. According to a recent survey, “Most days or every day” in 2020, nearly 15 percent of American adults had trouble falling asleep in the previous month. So you’re a little sleepy — no big deal, right? Wrong. A 1999 article in the medical journal The Lancet showed and decades of research suggest that “sleep debt” can have significant harmful effects on your health.
Happiness is the first to suffer. Everyone knows what it feels like to run on insufficient (不足的) sleep — you can be foggy, inattentive, and bad-tempered. A paper published in the journal Health Psychology in 2020 found that the participants without enough sleep experienced a less positive mood when they came across quite ordinary stress, and smaller increases in positive mood from pleasant events. When lacking sleep, people felt annoyed more and easier, and things feel less fun.
More seriously, sleep loss can cause clinical depression and anxiety. In 2014, Australian scholars studying young women found that a year of frequent sleep difficulties predicted the onset of depression and anxiety in later years.
Some researchers have identified long-time sleep debt as a disease — insufficient sleep syndrome (ISS). Given the reported evidence for how widespread the syndrome is, it might even be classed as an epidemic. Although no study has yet established a connection, it seems reasonable to think about whether the long-term declines in American happiness and increases in social conflicts may be connected to loss of sleep.
Whether you are a sleep-deprived student, or workaholic, or just an old-fashioned insomniac (失眠症患者), attending to sleep is a critical strategy for health and happiness. And adjusting this aspect of your life could be one of the best things you do all year.
16.Why does the author mention Shakespeare?
A.To show Shakespeare’s wisdom.
B.To introduce the topic of sleep loss.
C.To highlight a serious health problem.
D.To give reported evidence of sleep debt.
17.What does the paper in Health Psychology tell us about insufficient sleep?
A.It made people feel negative. B.It led to poor eyesight.
C.It caused depression and anxiety. D.It was not worth much concern.
18.What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.Reduction of happiness is linked to sleep loss.
B.Long-term lack of sleep is not a disease.
C.Sleep debt might affect both individuals and the society.
D.Insufficient sleep syndrome is a recognized epidemic.
19.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A.To confirm sleep loss is a disease.
B.To advocate getting sufficient sleep.
C.To tackle widespread sleep problem.
D.To prove happiness suffers from sleep debt.
(23-24高二上·内蒙古呼伦贝尔·期末)Staying in on a Friday might feel like a good idea—you could really use the “alone time” after a busy week—until you get on Instagram. You see your friends eating at that new restaurant you have been wanting to try, and then you start watching another friend’s story before they set out on an exciting road trip.
Suddenly, that alone time you chose doesn’t feel so good anymore. You feel like it’s boring to stay at home—you may even question the purpose of your very existence. Don’t worry, that anxiety is common—and not that new. You are experiencing FOMO, or the fear of missing out.
We are always comparing ourselves to people around us, but sometimes that self-comparison can lead to some pretty bad feelings. “FOMO” is about having thoughts on missing out on opportunities which might increase our happiness,” says Dr. Aarti Gupta. “Humans are social beings and depend on each other to survive, and being left out or not being in the know could have, once upon a time, been a matter of life or death.”
If you find yourself comparing yourself to others in a way that doesn’t feel productive, Gupta recommends practicing an abundance mindset: “This means remembering that there are plenty of opportunities to go around for everyone, and just because someone else found success doesn’t mean that you won’t.” So next time you see someone else win, try congratulating them instead of feeling unhappy.
So the next Friday night you decide to stay in, keep in mind that we are always missing out on something. Choosing one activity or path simply means you’ll miss out on others.
“I think the irony of all of it is that it’s called FOMO, the fear of missing out. But actually, what it is doing is that it’s making you miss out on today and that comfortable bed that you are in right now, or the job that you’re in right now or the relationship that you are in right now because you are so worried about what else is out there,” says Gupta. You can fight FOMO simply by being more fully present and invested in the life you have today.
20.What would make you experience FOMO when staying at home?
A.Having dinner alone. B.Having nothing to do.
C.Hearing friends’ bad news. D.Seeing friends’ colorful life.
21.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The effect of FOMO. B.How to avoid FOMO.
C.The reason for FOMO. D.How to deal with FOMO.
22.What does the underlined part “practicing an abundance mindset” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Being more creative. B.Being less competitive.
C.Being less self-doubting. D.Being more self-dependent.
23.What might be Gupta’s suggestion for those trying to fight FOMO?
A.Making more new friends. B.Living in the here and now.
C.Following your own feelings. D.Taking part in more activities.
(23-24高二上·宁夏银川·期末)The driver who cuts you off in traffic. The neighbors who don’t pick up after their dog. Situations such as these get our hearts racing and send our stress levels skyrocketing. Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the feeling, while others explode in a wild rage (狂怒). Both habits do considerable harm to our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.
“Anger may feel uncomfortable and a lot of people think they have to get rid of their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist in Calgary, Alberta. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be addressed. When we take notice of that signal and actually wrestle with the problem instead of turning a blind eye to it, we’re usually much better for it.”
Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have long-term effects on our health. Investigators at the University of Rochester noticed that people who contain their emotions tend to live shorter lives.
Is it better, then, to scream and howl whenever something makes you mad? That’s probably the reason why “rage rooms” have popped up in many American cities, where folks are invited to let steam off by violently smashing (打碎) stuff in a “safe” environment. However, the research indicates that when people display anger aggressively, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger — and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future. It doesn’t take much imagination to predict how such behavior can affect your relationship with your spouse, your kids, or your colleagues. It also hurts your health. A large 2016 study at McMaster University found that people are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack after an angry explosion.
If we shouldn’t bottle up our angry feelings but aggressive behavior isn’t healthy either, how should we handle things that tick us of? It’s the extreme highs and lows that cause the damage. If you’re able to apply techniques that smooth out some of those peaks and valleys, you can have a gentler ride.
24.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.All people lose their temper when offended.
B.When feeling angry, some people hold back the emotion.
C.Anger does harm because it causes heart problems and stress.
D.Only exploding in a wild rage is harmful.
25.What does Patrick Keelan think of anger?
A.Uncomfortable and avoidable. B.Terrible and threatening.
C.Confusing and complex. D.Normal and natural.
26.What is the consequence of letting out anger violently?
A.It leads to people’s shorter life. B.It warns people against violence.
C.It adds to people’s anger. D.It causes many "rage rooms" to be smashed.
27.What will be talked about if the passage is continued?
A.Possible causes of anger. B.Tips on handling anger.
C.Possible harm of anger. D.Tips on avoiding anger.
(23-24高二上·云南大理·期末)While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.”
The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍).
To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations.
“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.
28.What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions?
A.It is believed that a state of joy is great.
B.A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect.
C.Anger is actually a positive emotion.
D.Pride acts as an obstacle to success.
29.Why did researchers do a seres of experiments?
A.They hoped to overturn the previous findings.
B.They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal.
C.They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions.
D.They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals.
30.What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The problem of the research. B.The background of the research.
C.The process of the research. D.The significance of the research.
31.What’s Lench’s attitude to their research?
A.Skeptical. B.Favorable. C.Uncaring. D.Critical.

【导语】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了睡眠不足对人的健康产生重大的有害影响,并提倡充足的睡眠。
16.
推理判断题。根据第一段“When Shakespeare called a good night’s rest the ‘cure of hurt minds,’ he was really onto something. According to a recent survey, ‘Most days or every day’ in 2020, nearly 15 percent of American adults had trouble falling asleep in the previous month. So you’re a little sleepy—no big deal, right?

推理判断题。根据第四段“Some researchers have identified long-time sleep debt as a disease—insufficient sleep syndrome (ISS). Given the reported evidence for how widespread the syndrome is, it might even be classed as an epidemic. Although no study has yet established a connection, it seems reasonable to think about whether the long-term declines in American happiness and increases in social conflicts may be connected to loss of sleep. (一些研究人员认为,长期睡眠不足是一种疾病——睡眠不足综合症。考虑到报道的证据表明这种综合症是多么普遍,它甚至可能被归类为一种流行病。虽然还没有研究确定两者之间的联系,但我们有理由去思考,美国人幸福感的长期下降和社会冲突的增加是否与睡眠不足有关)”可推知,我们可以从第4段中了解到,睡眠不足可能影响个人和社会。故选C项。

And adjusting this aspect of your life could be one of the best things you do all year. (无论你是一个睡眠不足的学生,还是工作狂,或者只是一个老派的失眠症患者,注意睡眠都是健康和幸福的关键策略。调整你生活的这一方面可能是你一年中做的最好的事情之一)”可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是提倡充足的睡眠。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对FOMO这一词的解释和定义,以及对于FOMO,专家建议人们应该实践富足的心态,不要过多地和别人比较,活在当下。
20.细节理解题。根据第一段中“You see your friends eating at that new restaurant you have been wanting to try, and then you start watching another friend’s story before they set out on an exciting road trip.”(你看到你的朋友在你一直想去的那家新餐馆吃饭,然后你开始看另一个朋友的故事,然后他们开始了令人兴奋的公路旅行。)以及第二段“Suddenly, that alone time you chose doesn’t feel so good anymore. You feel like it’s boring to stay at home—you may even question the purpose of your very existence. Don’t worry, that anxiety is common—and not that new. You are experiencing FOMO, or the fear of missing out.”(突然间,你选择的独处时间感觉不再那么好了。你觉得呆在家里很无聊,你甚至会质疑自己存在的意义。别担心,这种焦虑很常见,也不是什么新鲜事。你正在经历FOMO,或者说是害怕错过。)可知,看到朋友丰富多彩的生活会让你体验到FOMO。故选D项。
21.主旨大意题。根据第三段“We are always comparing ourselves to people around us, but sometimes that self-comparison can lead to some pretty bad feelings. “FOMO” is about having thoughts on missing out on opportunities which might increase our happiness,” says Dr. Aarti Gupta. “Humans are social beings and depend on each other to survive, and being left out or not being in the know could have, once upon a time, been a matter of life or death.””(我们总是把自己和周围的人比较,但有时这种自我比较会导致一些非常糟糕的感觉。阿尔蒂·古普塔博士说:“‘FOMO’是关于失去可能增加我们幸福感的机会的想法。”“人类是社会动物,彼此依赖才能生存,被遗忘或不知道曾经是一个生死攸关的问题。”)可知,这段主要讲的是经历FOMO的原因。故选C项。
22.词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“If you find yourself comparing yourself to others in a way that doesn’t feel productive…”(如果你发现自己和别人比较的方式让你觉得自己没有成效……)以及后一句“This means remembering that there are plenty of opportunities to go around for everyone, and just because someone else found success doesn’t mean that you won’t.””(这意味着要记住,每个人都有很多机会,别人找到了成功并不意味着你不会。)由此可知,此处为划线短语“practicing an abundance mindset”(实践富足的心态)意思为“不要过多地和别人比较”。故选B项。
23.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“You can fight FOMO simply by being more fully present and invested in the life you have today.”(你可以通过更充分地活在当下并投入到你今天的生活中来对抗FOMO。)可推知,古普塔对那些试图对抗FOMO的人,建议他们活在当下。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章客观地分析了生气对人的健康造成的影响。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“Some of us bottle up the feeling, while others explode in a wild rage (狂怒).”(我们中的一些人压抑着这种感觉,而另一些人则会暴跳如雷。)可知,当感到愤怒时,有些人会抑制住这种情绪。故选B项。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段““Anger may feel uncomfortable and a lot of people think they have to get rid of their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist in Calgary, Alberta. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be addressed. When we take notice of that signal and actually wrestle with the problem instead of turning a blind eye to it, we’re usually much better for it.””(艾伯塔省卡尔加里的注册心理学家帕特里克·基兰说:“愤怒可能会让人感到不舒服,很多人认为他们必须摆脱愤怒。”“但愤怒是我们与生俱来的一种情绪,表明有些事情需要解决。当我们注意到这个信号,并真正解决问题,而不是视而不见时,我们通常会做得更好。”)可知,帕特里克·基兰认为愤怒是我们与生俱来的一种情绪,感到愤怒是正常的,我们应该正视愤怒,而不是回避它。故选D项。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“However, the research indicates that when people display anger aggressively, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger — and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future.”(然而,研究表明,当人们表现出攻击性的愤怒时,实际上会增加愤怒的强度,并增加未来采取攻击性行为的可能性。)可知,暴怒会增加一个人的愤怒。故选C项。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“If we shouldn’t bottle up our angry feelings but aggressive behavior isn’t healthy either, how should we handle things that tick us of? It’s the extreme highs and lows that cause the damage. If you’re able to apply techniques that smooth out some of those peaks and valleys, you can have a gentler ride.”(如果我们不应该压抑自己的愤怒情绪,但攻击性行为也不健康,那么我们应该如何处理那些让我们恼火的事情呢?是极端的高潮和低谷造成了伤害。如果你能运用一些技巧来消除这些高峰和低谷,你就能有一个更温和的旅程。)可推知,接下来的内容应该是关于如何处理愤怒的建议和技巧。故选B项。

30.主旨大意题。根据第四段“To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral(中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations. (为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用,研究人员进行了一系列实验,涉及1000多名参与者,并分析了1400多名受访者的调查数据。在每个实验中,参与者要么有情绪反应(如愤怒、娱乐、欲望或悲伤),要么有中性的情绪状态,然后提出一个具有挑战性的目标。在所有的实验中,在各种具有挑战性的情况下,与中性条件相比,愤怒提高了人们实现目标的能力)”可知,这一段主要介绍研究的过程。故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.
