Passage 1 （2024届陕西省商洛市高三下学期三模英语试题）High-hope people are optimistic about their future and they believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles (障碍). Here’s a tip sheet to get you into the habit of hope. Goal-setting is as important as the action you take toward achieving your goals. 1 They know that without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Meanwhile, they don’t let life happen to them. Instead, they actively make decisions and take action to move forward in their lives. They usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. Being around positive people is one way to keep an optimistic mind. Hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright attitude. 2 People high in hope don’t block themselves from folks who have a more pessimistic viewpoint. They know that seeing different perspectives allows them to be realistic. Hopeful people are always grateful for what they have. 3 They recognize that even though they may not have everything they want, they’re still lucky to have so much good in life, thus making them focus more on what’s in front of them. 4 When it comes to high-hope people, no matter what life throws at them, they try to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition to having a positive outlook, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. 5 A．People high in hope do both. B．Keeping a positive outlook is also important. C．Another trick is sticking with positive people. D．This allows them to stay positive and take urgent action. E．That keeps them appreciative and grounded in the moment. F．Instead, they find solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way. G．However, this doesn’t mean they are intolerant of another person’s negativity or struggles. Passage 2 （2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Providing feedback is an essential part of personal and career development. 1 One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich. If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. 2 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 3 The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 4 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note.   5 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance. A．It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though. B．Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback. C．The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback. D．The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication. E．Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly. F．It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible. G．This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback. Passage 3 （2024届陕西省宝鸡市高三下学期三模考试英语试题） How to prevent stress from turning into depression A few years ago, I had a bad day at work. My boss and I disagreed on a major financial investment and the conversation escalated. 1 And I took those comments personally. The good news is that there are ways to prevent feelings of discomfort from turning into depression. Change the scene Go outside, go to the bathroom, call a friend, take a few deep breaths. I didn’t realize I had done this after my fight with my boss. 2 Just noticing the trees and the birds around me got me out of my head. Recount what happened 3 This can help discover what is exactly giving you depression and remember the details you may have overlooked that can add to the situation. Do this with a friend, a family member, a therapist, or even yourself. You can also talk out loud as you walk your dog. Name your emotions As you describe what happened, name your emotions. For example, instead of saying you simply feel “bad,” maybe you actually feel “indifferent.” I turned to a therapist to help me unpack my fight with my boss. She helped me realize that it wasn’t my boss or the argument that was making me upset, but the feeling of being dismissed and made to feel small. 4 Identify your causes Examine what gives you discomfort. For example, if you have terrible road rage, you may have a conversation with yourself about it. You might ask yourself. Why am I prone to being so angry on the road? Is it because I am in a rush? Or is it because I hate sitting in traffic? 5 To avoid being rushed, maybe leave the house a half hour early. To avoid traffic, ask your boss if you can work from home a couple times a week. So now, when I find myself in this circumstance, I tell the other person that I need time and space to consider their feedback. And that I’ll come back to them when I’m ready. This helps me feel more in control of my feelings. A．Then, find ways to improve the situation. B．Go over your situation again and create a narrative. C．That allowed me to see a different perspective on the issue. D．I had trouble sleeping and focusing, and I felt like I was on high alert. E．They criticized me and said that I just didn’t have enough experience. F．When you are not feeling good, your body is trying to tell you something. G．After our argument, I left the office immediately and went for a long walk. Passage 4 （2024届陕西省铜川市高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试题）Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough, even though you’ve done some cool stuff? This feeling can contribute to increased anxiety, depression and a cycle of overworking to prove yourself. But you are not alone. Actually, lots of people, up to 82%, have these kinds of discouraging feelings. 1 ●Collect proof of your accomplishment. 2 . Start a journal where you write down projects you’ve finished, goals you’re reached, and nice things people have said about you. Work out a practical schedule to look back at this list. ●Figure out what’s good enough. Success can mean different things in different situations for different persons, so it’s okay not to be the best at everything all the time. 3 .

Hobbies lead to better physical health, more sleep, lower stress, greater life satisfaction, a larger social network and improved work performance. 1 We asked experts how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love. Be open. “Keeping an open mind and not dismissing potential hobbies even if they seem out of your wheel-house is key,” says Katina, a clinical psychology researcher. “We’re wired as humans to be curious and open, but in a very burned-out world, we forget that,” she says. “It’s the first thing to go.” So next time someone hands you a flier or invites you to an event, seize the opportunity. 2 3 When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The answer could point you towards an appealing hobby. If you wanted to be a major league player, what can you do now that fulfills that urge for you? Joining a softball team or coaching some neighborhood kids could inspire a long-dormant passion. Go back to school. Consider auditing (旁听) a class at a university or signing up for a lesson to learn more about a potential hobby. 4 Join a fiction writers group. Fascinated by family history? Take a genealogy class. Plenty of e-courses are available free. Take an assessment. Lots of colleges offer career assessments to help students determine what to major in and how to guide their professional lives. 5 If you’re a college graduate, connect with your university’s alumni center; sometimes they make these assessments available for free. Or you can pay a career consultant for access. A．Take a trip back in time. B．But where do you start? C．Turn your dream into a hobby. D．Always dreamed of writing a novel?

G．If a hobby makes you healthier and happier, every Passage 6 (2024·辽宁沈阳模拟)Do you want to live a healthy lifestyle? Practising yoga is one of the best choices. Yoga has a well­deserved fame for helping to improve balance and flexibility and to gain calm and relaxation. 1 ．Here's more about how doing yoga is a complete body and mind workout. Reducing Stress, Reducing Pounds Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does reduce cortisol(皮质醇) levels. 2 . It can also increase your desire for high­fat and high­sugar foods and drinks while reducing your muscle mass. 3 In a 2016 study, participants involved in practising yoga realised that they tended to notice the amount of food they ate, what type of foods they ate and the impact of eating those foods as well. “Subjects are reported becoming aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice, including sugar, dairy, meat and alcohol，” wrote the authors of the study. Making Weight Loss Last 4 ．This can be attained through improvements in sadness tolerance, mindfulness and self­sympathy. For example, if someone experiences improvements in mindfulness, they may be less likely to “mindlessly” eat in response to emotions such as boredom, stress, anger and other external stimulation like the presence of tasty foods. Choosing the Right Type Ultimately, the best yoga is the practice that fits you—the one you'll commit to.

Here I am sharing some lessons.   2 Thinking how I would manage my entire day among strangers on campus, I pretended to be sick. Then I had the same feeling when I was planning to travel alone. Exploring a city on my own was a big fear for me but I successfully managed it all and now, I seek out new opportunities and experiences. I love to push myself. 3 Having grown up and lived all my life in a single place, I had a small set of friends since my school days which continued till my college days. 4 I met a few very interesting people with whom I could feel an instant connect and got some new friends for life. I totally agree that travelling with family and friends is fun and enjoying. But travelling alone is satisfying too. It's among those few things that you do for yourself and nobody else. 5 During my solo travels I have explored my inner self and have expanded my boundaries which people around me have acknowledged at times.

Passage 8 (2024·安徽合肥模拟)The road to learning how to take personal responsibility can be a difficult one, but starting simple really works. 1 Here is some advice you need to follow. •Focus on the basics of your journey. Just like the ocean, our life has many ups and downs. If you start building a solid sailboat, you can withstand(经受住) the weather. The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety, selfesteem(自尊) and connections with others. 2 •Open your sails and be willing to fail. Do not lay too much stress on the destination. Just head in the right direction. 3 You're supposed to take the courage to really open your sails. When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries. • 4 As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass? Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven't done to achieve goals. •Live in the moment. As you're moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future? Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position? 5 Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you. A．Reach your goals. B．Move forward with intention. C．So make sure that they are being met. D．Then begin to tackle the more difficult aspects. E．Stop blaming others or situations if you really want to enjoy each moment. F．Everyone can edge closer to that stage through taking personal responsibility. G．You must enjoy the sail by finding purpose and following that desire to explore. Passage 9 (2024·河北石家庄质检)Just breathe. Sound familiar？Whether trying to decrease stress, anxiety, and muscle tension or increase our focus, we are frequently encouraged to breathe. There is a good reason for this, particularly when it comes to muscle tension and pain. 1 When we are stressed, our muscles tense, and this tension can increase pain. Pain can also cause stress, increasing muscle tension and creating more pain. Also, it is common to hold our breath when we are stressed or in pain. 2 So, one helpful way to manage stress and pain is to practise relaxing our muscles and nervous system via breathing exercises. While engaging in longer relaxation exercises is beneficial, practising brief exercises is practical. •Breathe Slowly and Rhythmically   3 Imagine your breath is a wave in the ocean that is slowly coming into shore and then slowly going back into the ocean. See if you can practise breathing slowly and steadily for about two to five minutes. •Lengthen the Exhalation(呼气) Portion of Your Breath The exhalation is like a brake for our nervous system, helping it slow down. Practise making the exhalation portion of the breath longer than the inhalation. For example, if you naturally inhale for a count of three, practise slowly exhaling for a count of five. •Breathe from Your Belly(腹部) Belly breathing tends to be the most relaxing type of breath. When you breathe using your belly, you stimulate the vagus nerve which activates the relaxation response. 4 Therefore, you feel at ease and comfortable. It is important not to wait until tension and pain increase to practise these exercises. 5 So just slow down and breathe. A．Practise breathing in and out at slow speed. B．Breathing from your nose only helps you calm down. C．Unfortunately, doing so increases pain and stress. D．Physical pain and emotional stress often go hand in hand. E．The exhalation part of the breath is the most relaxing. F．They will be most effective when you are not in much pain. G．This will reduce your heart rate and blood pressure and lower stress. Passage 10 （ 2024届·北京市朝阳期中）Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. __1__ Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person. If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercising may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. __2__ Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen(氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one. Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. __3__ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose(葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat. __4__ Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some before hand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack. Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. __5__ A. However, a fasted workout might not work for you. B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity. C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body. D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds. E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice. F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat. Passage 11 (2024·浙江1月卷)In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 1 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 2 We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 3 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule，” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you're a self­motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in­person courses. 4 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. 5 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in­person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts. A．But that doesn't mean there aren't deadlines. B．Your motivation should be your main concern. C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E．The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. Passage 12 (2024·辽宁沈阳模拟)Do you want to live a healthy lifestyle? Practising yoga is one of the best choices.

Once students acknowledge that they’re struggling, they may feel shame or embarrassment. Many students have told me, “____. I don’t need help.” They fear that asking for help signals weakness or failure in their character, though adults could tell them that asking for help is instead a sign of maturity and strength. Teachers can help students understand how they learn best and empower them to be advocates for their own learning by teaching them how to ask for help. Here are two strategies for improving students’ self-advocacy skills. Strengthen students’ metacognition(元认知). ____ After a test, for example, have students answer questions about how they studied, how much time they spent studying, their test grade, and what they’ll do differently for the next test. Help students understand that teachers want to help. Asking students why an adult would choose teaching as a career can be an eye-opening activity. Have students pause and reflect in small groups about why they think Teacher X became a teacher. This is extra fun if Teacher X can visit your classroom to hear the brainstormed ideas. Guide students to the final answer: “________.” A. I want to try it on my own. B. Teachers become teachers because they like to help. C. Students must first recognize that they’re struggling. D. I’ve used this exercise to show that I care about them. E. There are several reasons why students struggle to ask for help. F. Teachers and parents often act as external monitors of student progress. G. Teachers can encourage students with metacognitive teaching to think about their learning.

Passage 16 （2024届浙江省9 1联盟高三下学期3月模拟预测） One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important or promoted people say. 16 So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time? In 2016, researchers conducted a study to figure it out. 17 And interestingly, these status attributions (归属) are heavily influenced by our own beliefs. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who always skip leisure and work are of higher standing. That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. 18 According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.   19 It sounds self-righteous (自以为是) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off. That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. 20 Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking about how busy they are, and so do leaders. A．Actually, leading a busy life can be avoidable. B．But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. C．A person of high status feels tired when promoted. D．Busy people are found to be those with high social rank. E．You can share you won’t be checking the mailbox till you return. F．This culture of busyness is making it hard to find work-life balance. G．Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. Passage 17 （2024届浙江省湖州市、丽水市、衢州市三地市高三下学期二模） Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. 1 We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures. Know your angles. Knowing your angles is the first step to taking a great picture. Maybe you like one side of your face better than the other. Maybe you’re completely symmetrical and can take a photo from the front. 2 So snap some selfies and start to get acquainted with your best angle. Doing so will have you feeling confident and looking your best in your next shot. Make sure the light is behind the camera. Great lighting makes a great photo. The key is to make sure you’re in front of the light, and that the light is behind the camera. So, if you’re outside, make sure the sun is behind the camera.   3 Take multiples.   4 Take different photos of the same shot, so you have options when choosing which photo to keep. You’ll be surprised how often your facial expression changes in the same shot. Invest in a good quality camera. While smartphone cameras keep getting better and better, nothing beats the clear and crisp image quality of a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. The bad news? A good DSLR can cost anywhere from $400 on up. 5 With these photo tips in mind, next time you snap a photo, you’ll look at it with a smile. A．You can never take too many photos, right? B．Whatever the case is, you have to take the time to study your face. C．You’ll also show more of your eyelashes and brows from this angle. D．And if you’re indoors, make sure windows and lighting fixtures are behind the camera. E．Most of the photos you see from celebrities and online influencers come from a DSLR. F．But it might be worth the investment if you really want to achieve that professional look. G．But if you tend to find yourself deleting every picture you take, it’s time to up your photo game. Passage 18 （2024届湖南省郴州市高三下学期三模） Find the learning style that suits you best To succeed academically, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to find a suitable learning style. Whether it’s for everyday learning or revising for exams, the learning style that helps you achieve maximum productivity will be crucial. 1 Note-taking Note-taking can include copying out passages of books or summarizing concepts on notecards. 2 The problem with note-taking is that it’s all too easy simply to copy out what someone else says without really taking it in. 3 Sometimes you might find that you learn things more easily if you have to explain a concept to someone else. This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you have to have a thorough grasp of it yourself. For example, giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn. Learning by doing This method means that rather than reading things in books, try to experience things in real life. 4 Experiencing things practically gives your brain something concrete to remember, so you will absorb the information more easily. Tests and mock exams (模拟考试) 5 If you’re the sort of person who benefits from these sorts of challenges, you could try asking your teacher, parents or study buddies to set a mock exam to test what you’ve learned on a particular topic.

They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles (障碍). Here’s a tip sheet to get you into the habit of hope. Goal-setting is as important as the action you take toward achieving your goals. 1 They know that without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Meanwhile, they don’t let life happen to them. Instead, they actively make decisions and take action to move forward in their lives. They usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. Being around positive people is one way to keep an optimistic mind. Hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright attitude. 2 People high in hope don’t block themselves from folks who have a more pessimistic viewpoint. They know that seeing different perspectives allows them to be realistic. Hopeful people are always grateful for what they have. 3 They recognize that even though they may not have everything they want, they’re still lucky to have so much good in life, thus making them focus more on what’s in front of them. 4 When it comes to high-hope people, no matter what life throws at them, they try to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition to having a positive outlook, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. 5 A．People high in hope do both. B．Keeping a positive outlook is also important. C．Another trick is sticking with positive people. D．This allows them to stay positive and take urgent action. E．That keeps them appreciative and grounded in the moment. F．Instead, they find solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way.

If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. 2 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 3 The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 4 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end on a positive note.   5 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance. A．It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though. B．Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback. C．The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback. D．The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication. E．Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly. F．It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible. G．This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback. Passage 2答案及解析 1. G。解析：前文提到提供反馈是个人和职业发展的重要部分，后文提到反馈三明治技术，G选项“这种技术包括在两层积极反馈之间使用建设性反馈”解释了反馈三明治技术的内容，起到承上启下的作用。 2. E。解析：后文提到反馈三明治技术的过程分为三部分，E选项“然而，如果不正确地提供建设性批评可能具有挑战性”引出了对反馈三明治技术的具体介绍。 3.

A。解析：后文提到该技术的局限性，A选项“不过，意识到它的局限性很重要”起到引出下文的作用。 Passage 3 （2024届陕西省宝鸡市高三下学期三模考试英语试题） How to prevent stress from turning into depression A few years ago, I had a bad day at work. My boss and I disagreed on a major financial investment and the conversation escalated. 1 And I took those comments personally. The good news is that there are ways to prevent feelings of discomfort from turning into depression. Change the scene Go outside, go to the bathroom, call a friend, take a few deep breaths. I didn’t realize I had done this after my fight with my boss. 2 Just noticing the trees and the birds around me got me out of my head. Recount what happened 3 This can help discover what is exactly giving you depression and remember the details you may have overlooked that can add to the situation. Do this with a friend, a family member, a therapist, or even yourself. You can also talk out loud as you walk your dog. Name your emotions As you describe what happened, name your emotions. For example, instead of saying you simply feel “bad,” maybe you actually feel “indifferent.” I turned to a therapist to help me unpack my fight with my boss. She helped me realize that it wasn’t my boss or the argument that was making me upset, but the feeling of being dismissed and made to feel small. 4 Identify your causes Examine what gives you discomfort. For example, if you have terrible road rage, you may have a conversation with yourself about it. You might ask yourself. Why am I prone to being so angry on the road? Is it because I am in a rush? Or is it because I hate sitting in traffic? 5 To avoid being rushed, maybe leave the house a half hour early. To avoid traffic, ask your boss if you can work from home a couple times a week. So now, when I find myself in this circumstance, I tell the other person that I need time and space to consider their feedback. And that I’ll come back to them when I’m ready. This helps me feel more in control of my feelings. A．Then, find ways to improve the situation. B．Go over your situation again and create a narrative. C．That allowed me to see a different perspective on the issue. D．I had trouble sleeping and focusing, and I felt like I was on high alert. E．They criticized me and said that I just didn’t have enough experience. F．When you are not feeling good, your body is trying to tell you something. G．After our argument, I left the office immediately and went for a long walk. Passage 3答案及解析 1. E。解析：前文提到“我”和老板在一次重大的金融投资上意见不合，后面说“我”把老板的话当真了，E选项“他们批评了我，说我只是没有足够的经验”承接上文，说明了老板的话让“我”感到沮丧的原因。 2.

Hobbies lead to better physical health, more sleep, lower stress, greater life satisfaction, a larger social network and improved work performance. 1 We asked experts how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love. Be open. “Keeping an open mind and not dismissing potential hobbies even if they seem out of your wheel-house is key,” says Katina, a clinical psychology researcher. “We’re wired as humans to be curious and open, but in a very burned-out world, we forget that,” she says. “It’s the first thing to go.” So next time someone hands you a flier or invites you to an event, seize the opportunity. 2 3 When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The answer could point you towards an appealing hobby. If you wanted to be a major league player, what can you do now that fulfills that urge for you?

Exploring a city on my own was a big fear for me but I successfully managed it all and now, I seek out new opportunities and experiences. I love to push myself. 3 Having grown up and lived all my life in a single place, I had a small set of friends since my school days which continued till my college days. 4 I met a few very interesting people with whom I could feel an instant connect and got some new friends for life.

The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety, selfesteem(自尊) and connections with others. 2 •Open your sails and be willing to fail. Do not lay too much stress on the destination. Just head in the right direction. 3 You're supposed to take the courage to really open your sails. When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries. • 4 As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass? Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven't done to achieve goals. •Live in the moment. As you're moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future? Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position? 5 Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you. A．Reach your goals.

Sound familiar？Whether trying to decrease stress, anxiety, and muscle tension or increase our focus, we are frequently encouraged to breathe. There is a good reason for this, particularly when it comes to muscle tension and pain. 1 When we are stressed, our muscles tense, and this tension can increase pain. Pain can also cause stress, increasing muscle tension and creating more pain. Also, it is common to hold our breath when we are stressed or in pain. 2 So, one helpful way to manage stress and pain is to practise relaxing our muscles and nervous system via breathing exercises. While engaging in longer relaxation exercises is beneficial, practising brief exercises is practical. •Breathe Slowly and Rhythmically   3 Imagine your breath is a wave in the ocean that is slowly coming into shore and then slowly going back into the ocean. See if you can practise breathing slowly and steadily for about two to five minutes. •Lengthen the Exhalation(呼气) Portion of Your Breath The exhalation is like a brake for our nervous system, helping it slow down. Practise making the exhalation portion of the breath longer than the inhalation. For example, if you naturally inhale for a count of three, practise slowly exhaling for a count of five. •Breathe from Your Belly(腹部) Belly breathing tends to be the most relaxing type of breath. When you breathe using your belly, you stimulate the vagus nerve which activates the relaxation response. 4 Therefore, you feel at ease and comfortable. It is important not to wait until tension and pain increase to practise these exercises. 5 So just slow down and breathe. A．Practise breathing in and out at slow speed. B．Breathing from your nose only helps you calm down. C．Unfortunately, doing so increases pain and stress. D．Physical pain and emotional stress often go hand in hand. E．The exhalation part of the breath is the most relaxing. F．They will be most effective when you are not in much pain. G．This will reduce your heart rate and blood pressure and lower stress.

Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. __1__ Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person. If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercising may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. __2__ Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen(氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one. Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. __3__ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose(葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat. __4__ Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some before hand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack. Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. __5__ A. However, a fasted workout might not work for you. B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity. C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body. D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds. E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice. F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat. Passage 10 1. D。解析：前文提到有人喜欢在锻炼前吃东西，有人喜欢在锻炼后吃东西，D选项“吃还是不吃，这是许多健身爱好者心中的问题”承接上文，引出下文对两种方式的讨论。 2.

How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 2 We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 3 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule，” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you're a self­motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in­person courses. 4 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. 5 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in­person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts. A．But that doesn't mean there aren't deadlines. B．Your motivation should be your main concern. C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E．The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction.

Once students acknowledge that they’re struggling, they may feel shame or embarrassment. Many students have told me, “____. I don’t need help.” They fear that asking for help signals weakness or failure in their character, though adults could tell them that asking for help is instead a sign of maturity and strength. Teachers can help students understand how they learn best and empower them to be advocates for their own learning by teaching them how to ask for help. Here are two strategies for improving students’ self-advocacy skills. Strengthen students’ metacognition(元认知). ____ After a test, for example, have students answer questions about how they studied, how much time they spent studying, their test grade, and what they’ll do differently for the next test. Help students understand that teachers want to help. Asking students why an adult would choose teaching as a career can be an eye-opening activity. Have students pause and reflect in small groups about why they think Teacher X became a teacher. This is extra fun if Teacher X can visit your classroom to hear the brainstormed ideas. Guide students to the final answer: “________.” A. I want to try it on my own. B. Teachers become teachers because they like to help. C. Students must first recognize that they’re struggling. D.

Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important or promoted people say. 16 So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time? In 2016, researchers conducted a study to figure it out. 17 And interestingly, these status attributions (归属) are heavily influenced by our own beliefs. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who always skip leisure and work are of higher standing. That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. 18 According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.   19 It sounds self-righteous (自以为是) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off. That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. 20 Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking about how busy they are, and so do leaders. A．Actually, leading a busy life can be avoidable. B．But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. C．A person of high status feels tired when promoted. D．Busy people are found to be those with high social rank. E．You can share you won’t be checking the mailbox till you return. F．This culture of busyness is making it hard to find work-life balance.

To be productive, you need to find a suitable learning style. Whether it’s for everyday learning or revising for exams, the learning style that helps you achieve maximum productivity will be crucial. 1 Note-taking Note-taking can include copying out passages of books or summarizing concepts on notecards. 2 The problem with note-taking is that it’s all too easy simply to copy out what someone else says without really taking it in. 3 Sometimes you might find that you learn things more easily if you have to explain a concept to someone else. This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you have to have a thorough grasp of it yourself. For example, giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn. Learning by doing This method means that rather than reading things in books, try to experience things in real life. 4 Experiencing things practically gives your brain something concrete to remember, so you will absorb the information more easily.
