The line behind us was growing long,but the young man didn't show an ounce of impatience or irritation.He confirmed that the man was,indeed,over his limit for the month.

Bushman demonstrated in his study that when people expressed anger,such as by hitting a punching bag ()they only got more annoyed and aggressive.That's not good,because research suggests anger is linked toa variety of mental and maybe even physical health problems.Discussing a frustrating conversation or social slight in details can cause rumination-the psychological term for focusing on negative thoughts and feelings-and blow out of proportion relatively minor annoyances.Neither is healthy.Indeed,venting was linked to poorer mental health,while methods like accepting.joking about,and positively analyzing the situation seemed to boost well-being."You should generally act how you hope to feel,"Bushman says.For most people.that means trying to move past anger rather than getting stuck in it. When you feel yourself getting stuck in the situation of venting.look for healthier strategies.If yoga and meditation aren't your thing.try a quick shift in perspective.Bushman recommends the "fly-on-the-wall"technique,which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them anger.It's healthier to look for broader meaning in an annoying situation(Think:"you can't always get what you want") than to focus on every last annoying detail. "And finally,don't underestimate the impact of hanger-that is.getting angry when you're hungry.It's a real phenomenon.So next time you feel yourself gearing up for a venting session,think of grabbing a snack and taking a few deep breaths instead,"says Bushman. 32.Which of the following belongs to catharsis theory? A.Having a good sleep when feeling upset. B.Talking angrily about annoying situations. C.Forgetting about the anger and staying positive. ib aoy 3otA D.Breathing deeply when facing rude behaviours. de山国 33.What can we learn from paragraph 2? A.Releasing anger is harmful to our health. B.Hitting a punching bag can lessen anger. C.Accepting isn't a good way to avoid anger. D.Complaining can remove minor annoyances. 高三英语试题卷第7页（共12页） 34.What is Bushman's suggestion? A.See things differently. B.Be forgiving and tolerant. C.Keep in the state of hunger. D.Seek for professional advice. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.How Can We Deal with Life's Annoyances? B.Why Not Run When Facing Annoying Situations? C.Is Venting Healthy,or Does It Make Things Worse? D.Which One Is Better,Being Active or Being Peaceful? 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Eating while doing something else can lead to unhealthy habits.You might consume more unhealthy food than you realize,or get into the habit of eating when you aren't even hungry.36 Mindful eating focuses on the why and the how of eating.There are some steps you can take to begin mindful eating. 37 In other words.food is neither good nor bad.You should pay attention to how that food may help you feel in the short term.Does that food provide you with energy?

Seek out people for support.In-person and virtual support groups are an invaluable way to help keep you accountable.They have experienced and practical strategies and they may pass the knowledge on to you.Peer (support in these groups is also beneficial. 40After all,there are always others who have been in your shoes before.
