Only if our parents can feel our love and believe we love them, that is enough. Try to think about this question in another way. Do you want to hear your parents say they love you? If they say so, what will you feel? Won’t you feel happy and very warm in heart? Sure you will. And your parents will feel the same if you tell them you love them.

When your teacher gives you too much homework, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, when your team loses an important game, you may get really angry. Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe (呼吸) faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something, but sometimes you hide your anger. For example, you are really angry, but you may keep it to yourself. The worst thing is to do nothing but keep quiet. The problem is that if you do this, you may be ill. In fact, it’s common for you to get angry sometimes. But you must let anger out in the right way. When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people and share your problems with them, such as your parents, a teacher and so on. If you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; think about good things and so on. Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. It is not a good way to run away from your anger.

It’s your birthday.” When the boy started making good on his word, the father said, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!” Hearing this, the youngster fell silent as tears came up in his big blue eyes. But the father said, “You can finish later.” The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But there was no answer.

His heartbroken father wrote, “If only I could tell him how much I regret (后悔) my thoughtless (欠考虑的) words, and could be sure that he knows how much my heart is aching.” Love is a gift from heart.

If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy, almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say “yes”. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers or sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families. You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy. For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don't forget if you are shy, you are not the only one. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．Happiness. B．Shyness. C．Kindness. D．Loneliness. 2．What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Passed down from parents. B．Learned from friends. C．Taught by teachers. D．Made up by brothers. 3．We can learn from the passage that _________ may cause shyness. A．genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B．family size, grown-ups and failure C．genetics, family size and freedom D．genetics, family size and birthplace 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． （23-24八年级上·安徽·期末）Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声) Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India in 1995. Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid (愚蠢). Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! 1．The first Laughter Club was started in ________. A．India B．America C．Britain D．China 2．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class? A．Surprised. B．Pleased. C．Nervous. D．Tired. 3．The article mainly tells us ________. A．young children laugh much more often than adults in a day B．laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy C．many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health D．real laughter and unreal laughter are both bad for health 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25八年级上·北京通州·期末）Your mind and body are connected (联系的). How you think can affect (影响) how you feel and how you feel can affect your thinking. An example of this mind-body connection is how your body responds (回应) to stress (压力). Long-term worry and stress over jobs or other problems can cause headaches, and stomach problems. It may also lead to high blood pressure or other serious problems. On the other hand, pain (疼痛) or a health problem can affect your emotions (情绪). You might become sad and stressed. And this could affect how you face your illness. But your mind can have a positive (积极的) effect on your health, too. Having a positive outlook on life might help you better handle pain or stress. And it can help you stay healthier than someone who is less hopeful. ________ Your brain produces things that can help with your health. These things include endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers. Research shows that what your brain produces depends in part on your thoughts, feelings, and expectations. If you’re sick but you have hope and a positive attitude and you believe that you’ll get better, your brain is likely to produce chemicals that will help your body heal (康复) quickly. Negative (负面的) thoughts and emotions can keep your brain from producing some of the chemicals that help your body heal. Although people can’t cure (治愈) all the illness, your thoughts and state of mind are the resources (资源) you can use to get better. How does stress affect you? When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger. It makes hormones (激素) that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. If the stress is over quickly, your body goes back to normal and no harm is done. But if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. Long-term stress can make you more likely to get sick, and it can make symptoms of some diseases worse. If you tense up (紧张) when you are stressed, you may have neck, shoulder, or low back pain. Stress can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. Stress also harms your emotional health. It can make you sad, angry or depressed and you may not do well at work or school. But when you are able to relax your mind and body, your body stops producing the hormones that create stress and you return to a state of calm again. 1．The writer uses the example to show ________. A．stress and worries are good for our health B．problems can be solved when people worry about them C．our mind and body have strong connections D．illness can affect our body but can’t affect our mind 2．Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraphs 5-7? A．How do your thoughts and feelings affect your health? B．What does your brain produce when you are worried? C．What chemicals can help your body heal? D．How do negative thoughts help people cure the illness? 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Positive ideas can help people cure all illness. B．A positive attitude will raise your body’s healing power. C．Short-term stress can harm your body badly. D．Long-term stress can help improve emotional health. 4．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To encourage people to have a positive outlook on life. B．To show stress has a positive effect on people’s life. C．To tell why stress affects people’s health. D．To explain how people feel when they are ill. （23-24八年级下·北京房山·期中）People use laughter to communicate with others. It’s how we tell friends that we find their jokes funny, or how kids in a park show that they are having fun. Humans laugh to express many kinds of feelings, from happy to sad, from like to hate and so on. But how about animals? Do they also laugh? If they do laugh, is there a connection between animals’ laughing and playing? A study shows that not only humans but also some animals enjoy good laughter. Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles UCLA, suggested that a number of animals can laugh. Through their research, they found that 65 kinds or groups of animals laugh while playing. The animals that laugh the most include monkeys, rats and dolphins. Animal sound sometimes is like a short laughter, but scientists said that not all of these are connected to playing. After all, animals sometimes make sound as if they are laughing but in fact, they are in danger, or perhaps they are using it to fight with animals that may eat them. Sasha Winkler, a scientist studying animal behavior, noticed that the small monkeys she worked with liked to play together by catching each other. While having fun together, they made panting sounds, almost like they were out of breath, which reminded Winkler of quiet laughter. In that sense, researchers pointed out very interesting ideas of laughter and panting. They believe that laughter comes from heavy breathing during play. Study suggests that many animals laugh so that their playing partner knows they are having fun. This is important because animal play can sometimes look like fighting. Laughter becomes a way for animals to stop harmful act when communicating with others. Some animals also make a “play face” like a smile to show that they are happy and not angry. One big difference between human laughter and animal laughter is that humans laugh much more loudly. Most sounds animals make during play are very quiet so they can only be heard by the animal they are playing with. But for humans, loud laughter is a sign that we’re part of a group. “It’s really amazing that so many animals have a similar function of sound during play,” said Winkler. “These special parts of animal laughter will also be an important area for future study.” 1．Animals sometimes make sound as if they are laughing when they want to _______. A．hide their true feelings B．play tricks on their partners C．interest more partners to join in D．warn animals that may eat them 2．The word “panting” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______. A．loud B．quiet C．breathless 3．What do you know about animal laughter from the passage? _______ A．All kinds of animals laugh when they are playing. B．It can be a way for animals to stop harmful act. C．Animals make sound of laugh louder than humans. D．It usually shows they are happy and not angry. 4．Why does the writer mention the difference in the last paragraph? _______ A．To lead to the topic of future research on laughter. B．To show the function of animal laugh during play. C．To explain that loud laughter is a sign for people to be in a group. D．To suggest that human should train animals to laugh while playing. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Module 1 Feelings and impressions 模块话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25八年级上·内蒙古赤峰·期末）Hi, Mom! is a touching film written and directed (指导) by Jia Ling.

In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy, almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say “yes”. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers or sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families. You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy. For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don't forget if you are shy, you are not the only one. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．Happiness. B．Shyness. C．Kindness. D．Loneliness. 2．What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Passed down from parents. B．Learned from friends. C．Taught by teachers. D．Made up by brothers. 3．We can learn from the passage that _________ may cause shyness. A．genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B．family size, grown-ups and failure C．genetics, family size and freedom D．genetics, family size and birthplace 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了科学家对害羞这一性格的研究成果。 1．细节理解题。根据“Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone.”及下文介绍了可能导致害羞的三个原因，最后说害羞虽然有很多害处，但是可以改变的，可知本文讲的主要是害羞。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents.”可知有趣的是，这些害羞的婴儿通常有害羞的父母，由此判断“genetic”意为从父母传下来的基因。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.”可知科学家认为有些害羞是遗传的；第三段“Family size might cause people to be shy as well”可知家庭规模也会使人害羞；第四段“You may also be shy because of where you were born”可知你也可能害羞，因为你出生在哪里。分别介绍了可能导致害羞的三个原因。分别是：基因、家庭人数和出生地，故选D。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是总起介绍害羞变得越来越普遍；第二至第四段分别介绍了可能导致害羞的三个原因；最后一段是总结。所以文章结构是总分总。故选A。 （23-24八年级上·安徽·期末）Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life?

So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid (愚蠢). Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt.

How you think can affect (影响) how you feel and how you feel can affect your thinking. An example of this mind-body connection is how your body responds (回应) to stress (压力). Long-term worry and stress over jobs or other problems can cause headaches, and stomach problems. It may also lead to high blood pressure or other serious problems. On the other hand, pain (疼痛) or a health problem can affect your emotions (情绪). You might become sad and stressed. And this could affect how you face your illness. But your mind can have a positive (积极的) effect on your health, too. Having a positive outlook on life might help you better handle pain or stress. And it can help you stay healthier than someone who is less hopeful. ________ Your brain produces things that can help with your health. These things include endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers. Research shows that what your brain produces depends in part on your thoughts, feelings, and expectations. If you’re sick but you have hope and a positive attitude and you believe that you’ll get better, your brain is likely to produce chemicals that will help your body heal (康复) quickly. Negative (负面的) thoughts and emotions can keep your brain from producing some of the chemicals that help your body heal. Although people can’t cure (治愈) all the illness, your thoughts and state of mind are the resources (资源) you can use to get better. How does stress affect you? When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger. It makes hormones (激素) that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. If the stress is over quickly, your body goes back to normal and no harm is done. But if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. Long-term stress can make you more likely to get sick, and it can make symptoms of some diseases worse. If you tense up (紧张) when you are stressed, you may have neck, shoulder, or low back pain. Stress can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. Stress also harms your emotional health. It can make you sad, angry or depressed and you may not do well at work or school. But when you are able to relax your mind and body, your body stops producing the hormones that create stress and you return to a state of calm again. 1．The writer uses the example to show ________. A．stress and worries are good for our health B．problems can be solved when people worry about them C．our mind and body have strong connections D．illness can affect our body but can’t affect our mind 2．Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraphs 5-7?

It’s how we tell friends that we find their jokes funny, or how kids in a park show that they are having fun. Humans laugh to express many kinds of feelings, from happy to sad, from like to hate and so on. But how about animals? Do they also laugh? If they do laugh, is there a connection between animals’ laughing and playing? A study shows that not only humans but also some animals enjoy good laughter. Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles UCLA, suggested that a number of animals can laugh. Through their research, they found that 65 kinds or groups of animals laugh while playing. The animals that laugh the most include monkeys, rats and dolphins. Animal sound sometimes is like a short laughter, but scientists said that not all of these are connected to playing. After all, animals sometimes make sound as if they are laughing but in fact, they are in danger, or perhaps they are using it to fight with animals that may eat them. Sasha Winkler, a scientist studying animal behavior, noticed that the small monkeys she worked with liked to play together by catching each other. While having fun together, they made panting sounds, almost like they were out of breath, which reminded Winkler of quiet laughter. In that sense, researchers pointed out very interesting ideas of laughter and panting. They believe that laughter comes from heavy breathing during play. Study suggests that many animals laugh so that their playing partner knows they are having fun. This is important because animal play can sometimes look like fighting. Laughter becomes a way for animals to stop harmful act when communicating with others. Some animals also make a “play face” like a smile to show that they are happy and not angry. One big difference between human laughter and animal laughter is that humans laugh much more loudly. Most sounds animals make during play are very quiet so they can only be heard by the animal they are playing with. But for humans, loud laughter is a sign that we’re part of a group. “It’s really amazing that so many animals have a similar function of sound during play,” said Winkler. “These special parts of animal laughter will also be an important area for future study.” 1．Animals sometimes make sound as if they are laughing when they want to _______. A．hide their true feelings B．play tricks on their partners C．interest more partners to join in D．warn animals that may eat them 2．The word “panting” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______. A．loud B．quiet C．breathless 3．What do you know about animal laughter from the passage? _______ A．All kinds of animals laugh when they are playing. B．It can be a way for animals to stop harmful act. C．Animals make sound of laugh louder than humans. D．It usually shows they are happy and not angry. 4．Why does the writer mention the difference in the last paragraph? _______ A．To lead to the topic of future research on laughter. B．To show the function of animal laugh during play. C．To explain that loud laughter is a sign for people to be in a group. D．To suggest that human should train animals to laugh while playing. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家经过研究发现动物也有笑的能力，尤其是在和同伴的玩耍的过程中，通过笑表达自己的情绪，文章还进一步分析了动物的笑和人类的笑的异同。 1．细节理解题。根据“After all, animals sometimes make sound as if they are laughing but in fact, they are in danger, or perhaps they are using it to fight with animals that may eat them.”可知，动物有时发出的声音好像是在笑，但实际上，它们处于危险之中，或者它们可能用它来与可能吃掉它们的动物搏斗，也就是说动物发出这种像是在笑的声音是想要警告可能吃它们的动物。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据“they made panting sounds, almost like they were out of breath”可知，它们发出喘息的声音，几乎像是上气不接下气，由此可知“panting”和breathless“喘不过气来的”意思相近。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Laughter becomes a way for animals to stop harmful act when communicating with others.”可知，在与其他动物交流时，笑声成为动物停止有害行为的一种方式。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“These special parts of animal laughter will also be an important area for future study.”可知，动物笑声的这些特殊部分也将成为未来研究的重要领域，可推断出作者在最后一段提到了不同之处，来引出关于笑的未来研究的话题。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
