Are you so worried about something that you can’t sleep well at night? If so, then you will know what pressure (压力) is. You will feel it when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad or afraid—all of them can make your life bad. There are different kinds of pressure. Some kinds of pressure are good and others are bad. Good pressure might come to you when your teacher asks you to answer questions in class or when you try to get a good grade at school. This kind of pressure can help you to do things better. On the other hand, bad pressure will come if the pressure lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are getting on badly with each other, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else often makes you unhappy. That kind of pressure isn’t going to help you. And it can really make you feel sick. The best way to face pressure is to make sure you keep these in mind: sleep, exercise and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably have an easier life. 1．The underlined word “it” refers to (指的是) ________.

How you answer this question may show your outlook on life, your attitude towards yourself, and whether you’re optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health. Some studies show that personality can affect many areas of your health. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is connected with many health benefits. If you tend to (倾向于) be pessimistic, don’t despair — you can learn positive thinking skills. Positive thinking doesn’t mean that you disregard less pleasant situations in your life. Positive thinking just means that you deal with unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic (无意识的) thoughts can be positive or negative. If the thoughts are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you’re likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking. Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. They found that people who had a more positive outlook were more likely to get regular physical exercise, eat a healthier diet, and get more quality sleep. Clearly, there are many benefits of positive thinking. But why does positive thinking have such a strong effect on physical and mental health? One reason is that having a positive outlook enables you to deal better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It’s also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activities and follow a healthier diet. Even if you are not a natural-born optimist, there are things you can do to learn how to think more positively and become a positive thinker. Here are some examples of negative self-talk and ways to turn them into positive thinking. Negative self-talk I’ve never done it before. There’s no way it will work. No one communicates with me. I’m not going to get any better at this. Positive thinking It’s an opportunity to learn something new. I can try to make it work. I’ll see if I can start the conversation. I’ll give it another try. If you tend to have a negative outlook, don’t expect to become an optimist overnight. But with practice, gradually your self-talk will have less self-criticism (自我批判) and more self-acceptance. You may also become less critical of the world around you. 1．The word “disregard” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．lose interest in B．set a limit on C．look forward to D．pay no attention to 2．Which of the following examples shows positive thinking? A．I can work this out with time. B．This problem is beyond me. C．I don’t have the resources. D．I don’t think I can do it. 3．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．pessimistic thinkers are born with it B．pessimists always have bad sleep quality C．positive thinkers manage stressful situations well D．having a positive outlook helps you avoid unpleasantness 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To introduce optimism and pessimism. B．To show how self-talk affects the thoughts. C．To highlight the benefits of positive thinking. D．To encourage people to be positive by practicing. （23-24八年级下·湖北武汉·阶段练习）I’ve never been the kind of person to say “It’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away. For years now, I’ve been really wanting to sell our home. the place where my husband and I raised our kids.

Are you so worried about something that you can’t sleep well at night? If so, then you will know what pressure (压力) is. You will feel it when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad or afraid—all of them can make your life bad. There are different kinds of pressure. Some kinds of pressure are good and others are bad. Good pressure might come to you when your teacher asks you to answer questions in class or when you try to get a good grade at school. This kind of pressure can help you to do things better. On the other hand, bad pressure will come if the pressure lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are getting on badly with each other, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else often makes you unhappy. That kind of pressure isn’t going to help you. And it can really make you feel sick. The best way to face pressure is to make sure you keep these in mind: sleep, exercise and food.

How you answer this question may show your outlook on life, your attitude towards yourself, and whether you’re optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health. Some studies show that personality can affect many areas of your health. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is connected with many health benefits. If you tend to (倾向于) be pessimistic, don’t despair — you can learn positive thinking skills. Positive thinking doesn’t mean that you disregard less pleasant situations in your life. Positive thinking just means that you deal with unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic (无意识的) thoughts can be positive or negative. If the thoughts are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you’re likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking. Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. They found that people who had a more positive outlook were more likely to get regular physical exercise, eat a healthier diet, and get more quality sleep. Clearly, there are many benefits of positive thinking. But why does positive thinking have such a strong effect on physical and mental health? One reason is that having a positive outlook enables you to deal better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It’s also thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activities and follow a healthier diet. Even if you are not a natural-born optimist, there are things you can do to learn how to think more positively and become a positive thinker. Here are some examples of negative self-talk and ways to turn them into positive thinking. Negative self-talk I’ve never done it before. There’s no way it will work. No one communicates with me. I’m not going to get any better at this. Positive thinking It’s an opportunity to learn something new. I can try to make it work. I’ll see if I can start the conversation. I’ll give it another try. If you tend to have a negative outlook, don’t expect to become an optimist overnight. But with practice, gradually your self-talk will have less self-criticism (自我批判) and more self-acceptance. You may also become less critical of the world around you. 1．The word “disregard” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．lose interest in B．set a limit on C．look forward to D．pay no attention to 2．Which of the following examples shows positive thinking? A．I can work this out with time. B．This problem is beyond me. C．I don’t have the resources. D．I don’t think I can do it. 3．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．pessimistic thinkers are born with it B．pessimists always have bad sleep quality C．positive thinkers manage stressful situations well D．having a positive outlook helps you avoid unpleasantness 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To introduce optimism and pessimism. B．To show how self-talk affects the thoughts. C．To highlight the benefits of positive thinking. D．To encourage people to be positive by practicing. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了积极思考的好处及原因。 1．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Positive thinking doesn’t mean that you disregard less pleasant situations in your life. Positive thinking just means that you deal with unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way.”可知，积极思考并不意味着你无视生活中不那么愉快的事情而是你更积极、更有成效的方式处理不愉快的事，所以划线词在此处指“忽视、不理会”。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据表格“positive thinking”和“I can try to make it work”可知，A选项“I can work this out with time”我可以慢慢解决这个问题符合题意。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“One reason is that having a positive outlook enables you to deal better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.”可知，积极的人生态度能让你更好的应对压力，从而减少对身体造成的有害影响，所以作者认为积极思考者能更好的应对有压力的情况。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“Clearly, there are many benefits of positive thinking.”可知，积极思考有很多的好处。并且通读全文可知本文介绍了积极思考的好处，目的是为了鼓励人们通过练习变得积极。故选D。 （23-24八年级下·湖北武汉·阶段练习）I’ve never been the kind of person to say “It’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away. For years now, I’ve been really wanting to sell our home. the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building. In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date when they were measured. Of all the objects and memories, it’s the one thing in a home that’s time hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work, only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears. But erasing the evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should! Our kids grow in so many ways but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. I always repeated “How much I hate leaving that all behind when I move, even though the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing.” So one day, my children decided to do something about it. They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer. Over several hours, she took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to capture all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
