Research conducted by psychologists suggests that the simple act of smiling can actively influence our emotions and physiology. This phenomenon is linked to the "facial feedback hypothesis."What this theory proposes is that our facial expressions can send feedback to our brain,affecting our emotional state.Forcing a smile during a stressful situation,even if you don't feel like it,can lead to a lower heart rate and reduce the intensity of stress.It is as though the brain interprets the muscle movements of a smile as happiness,leading to a genuine improvement in mood. The benefits extend beyond stress reduction.Smiling is seen as a friendly and approachable signal in social interactions.It can break down barriers,apologise without words,and make difficult conversations easier.Experts, who have studied this for years,recommend smiling at yourself in the mirror to start the day on a positive note. Understanding the science behind a smile provides us with a powerful,readily available tool.It's not about deny ing negative emotions but about using our body's own mechanisms to cultivate resilience.Whether it's a slight curve of the lips or a broad grin,the message is clear:the simple act of smiling holds the potential to change not only how others perceive us but also how we experience the world ourselves.It is indeed a small gesture with a significant impact. 24.What can be inferred if someone forces a smile during a brief stressful task? A.Their heart rate will likely rise significantly. B.Their muscle fatigue will immediately disappear C.Their emotional state will remain completely unchanged. D.Their perceived stress intensity may decrease 25.Which social function of smiling is mentioned in the passage? A.Replacing spoken apologies. B.Increasing personal attractiveness instantly. C.Resolving all interpersonal conflicts. D.Guaranteeing successful negotiations 26.What specific recommendation do experts give to start the day positively? A.Avoid looking in the mirror. B.Smile at oneself in the mirror. C.Perform 30 minutes of cardio exercise D.Write down three negative thoughts. 27.How does the author view the act of smiling? A.As a meaningless social habit. B.As only effective when it is genuine. C.As a readily available self-help mechanism. D.As a replacement for medical treatment. C How's this for a coincidence()?Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year,on the same day:Feb.12,1809.Although people hardly think of them together,yet we want to say that they belong together. It's not just because they were both great men,and not because they happen to live at the same time.Rather,it's because the scientist and the politician each started a revolution that changed the world. They were both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the realities when they were born.They seem and sound modern to us,because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in.So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions and the coincidence of their birthdays----it is hard to wonder: who was the greatest man?It's an apples and oranges---or Superman vs.Santa---comparison.But if you limit the question to influence,very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln's favor. As great as his book on evolution is,it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped (by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincoln,however,is unique.True,his election as the president did cause the recession (and the war,but that war seems certain to happen---not a question of if but when.Certainly we know what happened after he was murdered:Reconstruction was organized and then abandoned,leaving the issue of racial (equality unsolved for another century Surely we should not deny Darwin's accomplishment.But their same birthdays gave us a great opportunity to observe these men of their time. 28.Why does the author say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together? A.They were born on the same day. B.They lived in the same period of time. C.They started revolutions changing the world. D.They were both great men in the history. 29.What does the author mean by "an apples and oranges---or Superman vs.Santa---comparison"? A.It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding. B.The comparison between Darwin and Lincoln is easy and obvious. C.It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman and Santa. D.There is no point comparing them because they were born on the same day. 30.Lincoln's contribution to the world can be best described as A.narrow. B.aggressive. C.independent. D.ground-breaking. 31.What can we learn from the passage? A.Lincoln's success in election caused reconstruction. B.Lincoln had tried to solve the racial problem. C.Darwin was unique compared with Lincoln. D.Darwin's theory is similar to Lincoln's belief. D Media literacy (is finally getting some late-arriving attention.Whether it's the increasing awareness of political disinformation or the threat of al,discussions about media literacy are on the rise.The adoption of media literacy in the classroom,however,stagnates. The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic over technology and kids.Fear has overrun reason,and people can't decide whether to blame social media,mobile devices,tech companies,or the Internet.They are concerned with claims that technology and social media are the causes of teenage mental health issues despite the weak associations.In response,too many solutions are"ostrich policies )"that want to ban devices and shut down social media but don't address more fundamental issues. Policies that set age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions.Social media didn't invent bullies (or the enormous effect of peer pressure.Social media platforms may be a new battleground,but they are not the source.Unfortunately,many current policies ignore the need to teach kids how to manage these challenges.There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make good decisions when they will,unavoidably,get online. On the bright side,the rapid development of aI and increasing attention to the amount of misinformation online have helped normalize the acceptance of media literacy as a core skill.While suggestions to limit inappropriate device use,increase face-to-face socialization,and engage in outdoor play arc beneficial,they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offline and are fundamental to well-being and life success:good citizenship, self-awareness and self-control.Those things take teaching,whether you are online or outside. Media literacy is an essential life skill that,once learned,can be applied to any content.While waiting for public education to catch up,parents and educators can build media literacy skills at home with numerous resources,ranging from family technology contracts and discussion guides to easy activities that can be done at home with kids. 32.What does the underlined wordstagnates"in the first paragraph probably mean? A.Gets far ahead. B.Falls apart suddenly. C.Falls well short. D.Gets started officially 33.What causes people's moral panic over technology and kids? A.Belief in the rapid growth of new technologies B.Concern over cutting kids off from the Internet C.Inability to balance the use of social media and health. D.Fear of technology causing mental health issues in teenagers 34.What does paragraph 3 of the text focus on? A.The sources of peer pressure. B.The benefits of minimizing disturbance C.The problems of current policies.D.The disadvantages of social media platforms 35.Which of the following belongs to media literacy? A.Reducing social media exposure.B.Applying critical thinking to media. C.Increasing face-to-face interactions.D.Recognizing the dangers of social media 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中 有两项为多余选项。 How to Stop Being a People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser,I spent much of my life keeping others happy.Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes.However,I've become a happier person as a result.Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
