Unit 2 Strong mind （话题阅读精练） 时文阅读 Simple things Sometimes life gets hectic and I end up feeling stressed; And sometimes I forget to do the things I know are best. The little things I have to do to take care of myself, To take care of my happiness, and take care of my health. Whenever I feel stressed about the challenges life brings, I stop and I remind myself about these simple things: The first is eating healthy food to keep my body strong; Vegetables and fruit are best. — with them I can’t go wrong. A good night’s sleep is one sure way to make me feel all right; So I do not stay up too late — I have an early night. Exercise is vital, so I walk or swim or run; I feel fantastic when I’m doing something that is fun. Friends are so important, both in good times and in bad; They share in my successes and support me when I’m sad. Friends and family know me well, and they’ll always understand; And if I am in trouble, they can lend a helping hand. In schoolwork and exams, if I don’t get a perfect score, I tell myself: ‘Just do your best. You can’t do any more! Nobody is perfect, and we can all make a mistake; So don’t be too hard on yourself, and give yourself a break!’ I also make some time each day to sit still and be quiet; I close my eyes and simply breathe, and it’s easy when you try it! I think you will agree that these are simple things to do; And if you try them sometime — well, they might be good for you! 【全文翻译】 简单的事 有时生活变得忙碌，我最终会感到压力重重； 而且有时我会忘记去做那些我知道最该做的事。 那些我必须做的小事，关乎照顾自己， 关乎守护快乐，关乎呵护健康。 每当因生活挑战而倍感压力时， 我会停下，提醒自己这些简单的事： 第一是吃健康食物，让身体强壮； 蔬菜和水果最佳 —— 选它们准没错。 睡个好觉无疑能让我感觉良好； 所以我不会熬夜太晚 —— 我早睡。 锻炼至关重要，所以我散步、游泳或跑步； 做有趣的事时，我感觉棒极了。 朋友在顺境和逆境中都至关重要； 他们分享我的成功，在我悲伤时给予支持。 朋友和家人很了解我，他们总会理解我； 若我陷入困境，他们会伸出援手。 在学业和考试中，若没拿到满分， 我告诉自己：“尽力就好。你已无法做得更好！” 没人是完美的，我们都会犯错； 所以别对自己太苛刻，给自己放个假！ 我每天也会抽出时间，静坐冥想； 闭上眼睛，简单呼吸，尝试就会发现很容易！ 我想你会认同这些都是简单的事； 若你尝试，它们或许对你有益！ 【长难句分析】 句子 1：Whenever I feel stressed about the challenges life brings, I stop and I remind myself about these simple things. 翻译：每当因生活带来的挑战而倍感压力时，我会停下，提醒自己这些简单的事。 分析：“Whenever I feel stressed about the challenges life brings” 是时间状语从句，其中 “life brings” 为省略关系代词的定语从句，修饰 “challenges” ；主句是 “I stop and I remind myself about these simple things” ，描述应对压力的行为。 句子 2：Friends and family know me well, and they’ll always understand; And if I am in trouble, they can lend a helping hand. 翻译：朋友和家人很了解我，他们总会理解我；而且若我陷入困境，他们会伸出援手。 分析：前半句是并列句，“Friends and family know me well” 与 “they’ll always understand” 并列 ；后半句中 “if I am in trouble” 是条件状语从句，“they can lend a helping hand” 是主句，说明困境下家人朋友的行为。 句子 3：I also make some time each day to sit still and be quiet; I close my eyes and simply breathe, and it’s easy when you try it! 翻译：我每天也会抽出时间，静坐冥想；闭上眼睛，简单呼吸，尝试就会发现很容易！ 分析：前半句 “make some time... to sit still and be quiet” ，“to sit still and be quiet” 是目的状语 ；后半句 “it’s easy when you try it” 中，“when you try it” 是时间状语从句，整体说明静坐呼吸这件事尝试后就会觉得简单。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 汉语翻译 词性 发音 hectic 忙碌的；紧张混乱的 adj. /ˈhektɪk/ stressed 焦虑不安的；有压力的 adj. /strest/ vital 极其重要的；必不可少的 adj. /ˈvaɪtl/ fantastic 极好的；了不起的 adj. /fænˈtæstɪk/ perfect 完美的；最佳的 adj. /ˈpɜːfɪkt/ mistake 错误；失误 n. /mɪˈsteɪk/ score 分数；成绩 n. /skɔː(r)/ simply 仅仅；简单地 adv. /ˈsɪmpli/ breathe 呼吸 v. /briːð/ understand 理解；明白 v. /ˌʌndəˈstænd/ support 支持；帮助 v. /səˈpɔːt/ remind 提醒；使想起 v. /rɪˈmaɪnd/ trouble 困难；问题 n. /ˈtrʌbl/ quiet 安静的；宁静的 adj. /ˈkwaɪət/ 实战演练 一、语法选择 请通读下面短文，掌握其大意，根据语法和上下文连贯的要求，从每小题所给的三个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 Lily is a 12-year-old girl.
