This is because there is a close connection between your gut (消化道) and your brain. You have around 200 types of microbes (细菌) in your gut. Healthy microbes help your body fight illnesses and help your brain deal with stress. “So, take care of your gut.” a scientist says. 690 Stop anger with activities A new study aimed at 12,489 people has suggested that the key to reducing anger is not letting it out, but doing calming activities such as yoga. These activities could slow the heart rate (心率). However, scientists also find some ball games and team sports, which are fun or playful, could reduce anger. 569 Show compassion Showing compassion means you understand others’ feelings and treat them with kindness. Scientists have discovered when you show compassion, your brain lets out a feel-good chemical, which helps to reduce stress. It is reported that when other people see you showing compassion, they want to do it, too. 943 41．The best heading for the first piece of news would be ________. A．Focus on your brain B．Microbes in your body C．Look after your gut D．Problems with your stomach 42．It is believed that showing compassion can ________. A．spread to others B．slow your heart rate C．develop your brain D．make people confident 43．What do the three pieces of news have in common? A．They are liked by 690 people. B．They show some research results. C．They help us make more friends. D．They teach us how to face stress. 44．In which part of the website can we read the news? A．PEOPLE B．HEALTH C．FOOD D．SPORTS B A comfort zone is a place, situation or level where there is the least stress. However, stepping into the learning zone can help to bring out the best in us. Here are the reasons. •Challenging yourself can help you be at your best Stepping outside one’s comfort zone is important for personal development. How can we expect to make ourselves better is we only stick to the routine? We should try something we might not succeed in. •Taking risks is what helps us grow As children, we’re natural risk-taskers. But as we get older and learn to fear failure, we start trying fewer new things. We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. There is no learning without any difficulties. •Facing new challenges can help us grow better Our comfort zone seems to become smaller as we get older—but if we can keep expanding (扩大) it, we’ll open ourselves up to a greater world as we grow. As we step into the learning zone, we will get more comfortable with the skills gradually and we’ll start to move into the comfort zone. A study found that learning new life skills can help our brain stay sharp as we get older. However, don’t push yourself too far. Have you heard of “Yerkes-Dodson Law”? It means performance increases as stress grows, but only up to a point. If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with, we enter the danger zone. 45．What is a comfort zone? A．A place with high stress. B．A situation with the least stress. C．A learning environment. D．A dangerous area. 46．According to the text, what helps keep our brain sharp? A．Staying in the comfort zone. B．Avoiding challenges. C．Learning new life skills. D．Reducing stress. 47．What happens if stress becomes too high? A．Performance increases. B．Learning becomes easier. C．Performance goes down. D．Challenges become simpler. 48．Which of the following picture can describe “Yerkes-Dodson Law”? A． B． C． D． 49．What’s the best title for this passage? A．A comfort zone makes us safe B．What is a comfort zone? C．Step outside a comfort zone D．Never fear a comfort zone C Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion (情绪) in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat (威胁) and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion. A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not letting out but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation. The study was published by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like boxing sandbags, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10,189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response to a real or imagined threat”. They used a theory of emotion that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind. The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”. The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger. They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings. 50．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid? A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm. C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly. 51．What does the underlined word “venting” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Expressing. B．Hiding. C．Avoiding. D．Imagining. 52．What is the main finding of the new study? A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of increasing anger. C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger. 53．What can we learn about calming activities? A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate. C．They are good for venting anger. D．They are good for heart health. D The notebook stared back at me. Yellowing paper and black-and-white photos fell out from its pages. On the cover, someone had written “Family History” in Spanish by hand. I opened it to the first page and started reading. “I’m not sure what it is that I’m about to write, but I’ve had this idea for quite a few years…” I could tell this was Grandpa’s writing. Sitting quietly in his basement (地下室) near London, I continued reading. In just the first few pages, Grandpa had written down our family’s whole story. What I was holding wasn’t just a notebook—it was filled with old diaries, letters, and newspaper cuttings. It was like finding a hidden treasure. I didn’t tell Grandpa what I’d found in his basement until one day he happened to see me there, with his notebook open on the desk. My face turned red. “I’ve been looking at your writing. It’s very interesting. ” To my surprise, he broke into a wide smile and his eyes were filled with tears. Then he began to tell me the family story, explaining the parts I didn’t understand. I asked questions to make these old stories come to life. Why did my great-grandfather leave Iraq in such a hurry in the early 1900s? Why did he work as a traveling salesman in the faraway Andes Mountains? Answers to these questions brought me a sense of excitement, just like discovering a new world. Recently, I traveled around the country to discuss a book I wrote about my search across Argentina for traces (痕迹) of my great-grandfather. What I’ve realized by talking with others is that most people don’t have enough time or energy to uncover their family histories. These are valuable memories that could easily disappear. I feel lucky to have asked before it’s too late. 54．What did the author find in his grandpa’s basement? A．A long lost history book. B．Hidden family treasures. C．Stories created by Grandpa. D．Stories of family history. 55．How did Grandpa feel when he saw the author in the basement? A．Shy and uncomfortable. B．First sad, then happy. C．Moved and happy. D．Angry but later fine with it. 56．What may the finding have encouraged the author to do? A．Become a famous writer. B．Learn more about his family. C．Do more international travel. D．Save old stories from disappearing. 57．According to the author, what is the main challenge in protecting family stories? A．No interest from young people. B．The high cost of researching family history. C．Time and energy required to collect the stories. D．Difficulty in understanding old languages. 58．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Hidden Words, Valuable Menores B．The Search for Happiness C．A Wonderful Old Book D．My Grandpa’s Secret E 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 How to Manage the Post-Holiday Blues The holiday season can be a happy and relaxing time for many people, but once the celebrations end, sadness and loneliness may come. 59 If you are experiencing the post-holiday blues or want to stop them from happening in the future, some simple lifestyle changes can help.

This is because there is a close connection between your gut (消化道) and your brain. You have around 200 types of microbes (细菌) in your gut. Healthy microbes help your body fight illnesses and help your brain deal with stress. “So, take care of your gut.” a scientist says. 690 Stop anger with activities A new study aimed at 12,489 people has suggested that the key to reducing anger is not letting it out, but doing calming activities such as yoga. These activities could slow the heart rate (心率). However, scientists also find some ball games and team sports, which are fun or playful, could reduce anger. 569 Show compassion Showing compassion means you understand others’ feelings and treat them with kindness. Scientists have discovered when you show compassion, your brain lets out a feel-good chemical, which helps to reduce stress. It is reported that when other people see you showing compassion, they want to do it, too. 943 41．The best heading for the first piece of news would be ________.

A．PEOPLE B．HEALTH C．FOOD D．SPORTS B A comfort zone is a place, situation or level where there is the least stress. However, stepping into the learning zone can help to bring out the best in us. Here are the reasons. •Challenging yourself can help you be at your best Stepping outside one’s comfort zone is important for personal development. How can we expect to make ourselves better is we only stick to the routine? We should try something we might not succeed in. •Taking risks is what helps us grow As children, we’re natural risk-taskers. But as we get older and learn to fear failure, we start trying fewer new things. We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. There is no learning without any difficulties. •Facing new challenges can help us grow better Our comfort zone seems to become smaller as we get older—but if we can keep expanding (扩大) it, we’ll open ourselves up to a greater world as we grow. As we step into the learning zone, we will get more comfortable with the skills gradually and we’ll start to move into the comfort zone. A study found that learning new life skills can help our brain stay sharp as we get older. However, don’t push yourself too far. Have you heard of “Yerkes-Dodson Law”? It means performance increases as stress grows, but only up to a point. If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with, we enter the danger zone. 45．What is a comfort zone? A．A place with high stress. B．A situation with the least stress. C．A learning environment. D．A dangerous area. 46．According to the text, what helps keep our brain sharp? A．Staying in the comfort zone. B．Avoiding challenges. C．Learning new life skills. D．Reducing stress. 47．What happens if stress becomes too high? A．Performance increases. B．Learning becomes easier. C．Performance goes down. D．Challenges become simpler. 48．Which of the following picture can describe “Yerkes-Dodson Law”? A． B． C． D． 49．What’s the best title for this passage? A．A comfort zone makes us safe B．What is a comfort zone? C．Step outside a comfort zone D．Never fear a comfort zone C Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion (情绪) in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat (威胁) and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion. A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not letting out but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation. The study was published by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like boxing sandbags, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10,189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response to a real or imagined threat”. They used a theory of emotion that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind. The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”. The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger. They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings. 50．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid? A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm. C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly. 51．What does the underlined word “venting” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Expressing. B．Hiding. C．Avoiding. D．Imagining. 52．What is the main finding of the new study? A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of increasing anger. C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger. 53．What can we learn about calming activities? A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate. C．They are good for venting anger. D．They are good for heart health. D The notebook stared back at me. Yellowing paper and black-and-white photos fell out from its pages. On the cover, someone had written “Family History” in Spanish by hand. I opened it to the first page and started reading. “I’m not sure what it is that I’m about to write, but I’ve had this idea for quite a few years…” I could tell this was Grandpa’s writing. Sitting quietly in his basement (地下室) near London, I continued reading. In just the first few pages, Grandpa had written down our family’s whole story. What I was holding wasn’t just a notebook—it was filled with old diaries, letters, and newspaper cuttings. It was like finding a hidden treasure. I didn’t tell Grandpa what I’d found in his basement until one day he happened to see me there, with his notebook open on the desk. My face turned red. “I’ve been looking at your writing. It’s very interesting. ” To my surprise, he broke into a wide smile and his eyes were filled with tears. Then he began to tell me the family story, explaining the parts I didn’t understand. I asked questions to make these old stories come to life. Why did my great-grandfather leave Iraq in such a hurry in the early 1900s? Why did he work as a traveling salesman in the faraway Andes Mountains? Answers to these questions brought me a sense of excitement, just like discovering a new world. Recently, I traveled around the country to discuss a book I wrote about my search across Argentina for traces (痕迹) of my great-grandfather. What I’ve realized by talking with others is that most people don’t have enough time or energy to uncover their family histories. These are valuable memories that could easily disappear. I feel lucky to have asked before it’s too late. 54．What did the author find in his grandpa’s basement? A．A long lost history book. B．Hidden family treasures. C．Stories created by Grandpa. D．Stories of family history. 55．How did Grandpa feel when he saw the author in the basement? A．Shy and uncomfortable. B．First sad, then happy. C．Moved and happy. D．Angry but later fine with it. 56．What may the finding have encouraged the author to do? A．Become a famous writer. B．Learn more about his family. C．Do more international travel. D．Save old stories from disappearing. 57．According to the author, what is the main challenge in protecting family stories? A．No interest from young people. B．The high cost of researching family history. C．Time and energy required to collect the stories. D．Difficulty in understanding old languages. 58．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Hidden Words, Valuable Menores B．The Search for Happiness C．A Wonderful Old Book D．My Grandpa’s Secret E 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 How to Manage the Post-Holiday Blues The holiday season can be a happy and relaxing time for many people, but once the celebrations end, sadness and loneliness may come. 59 If you are experiencing the post-holiday blues or want to stop them from happening in the future, some simple lifestyle changes can help.
