Imagine you could only feel good emotions (情感) like happiness, excitement, and peace. That might sound perfect, but it’s not realistic (现实的). Life is full of the unexpected. Everyone experiences all kinds of feelings, even the ones that are uncomfortable, like anger, fear, and sadness. It’s important to accept these feelings because they can actually help you feel better in the long run.
Notice uncomfortable feelings
When you understand that negative emotions are normal and won’t last forever, it’s easier to deal with them. According to experts, people who let themselves feel all their emotions are often more at peace than those who try to avoid or ignore (忽视) them. By noticing these uncomfortable feelings and letting them be, you’re being kind to yourself.
Stay away from bad behavior
Allowing yourself to feel uncomfortable emotions doesn’t mean you can throw things around or behave unkindly. Anita Garai, the writer of Being With Our Feelings, says that when we allow ourselves to feel emotions like anger, we’re less likely to lose control and do something we regret. “Uncomfortable feelings actually help us keep healthy,” she explains. By listening to these feelings, you can learn more about what you need and find out the best way to deal with them.
Learn to accept bad feelings
Garai suggests starting by finding out where the bad feeling is from. Ask yourself, “When and where do I feel it?” By paying attention to the feeling this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it. Another helpful tip is to read stories about characters who face and overcome (克服) uncomfortable emotions.

Teenagers are going through some changes in their body and mind. They start to be independent and like to be different from others. 31 But don’t worry. Here are several skills to help you have a comfortable talk with teenagers.
Try small talk. The talk is about some common and unimportant things in life, such as the weather, food and daily life. 32 For example, you can compliment (称赞) teenagers on their clothes and shoes. Then they will be glad to continue the talk.
33 This can help you learn more about teenagers and their interests. More importantly, you can get chances (机会) to join in activities together with them. Then you can build a deeper relationship with them.
Teenagers often enjoy talking about their personal experiences. 34 They may tell you some interesting stories from their travels. Through the talk, you can build up trust.
It’s necessary to know that every teenager is unique (独一无二的). 35 However, as long as you really care about their feelings and listen to them carefully, they will be more likely to open up.
A.It’s really useful in breaking the ice.
B.Discuss hobbies and free time activities.

三、任务型阅读(10分)
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times
In traditional Chinese culture, there are many famous stories and ideas about how to raise and educate children. The story of “Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times” is one of them. It tells us how important the environment is for a person’s growth.
The story happened in ancient China. Mencius became a great thinker in Chinese history. When he was a child, his mother moved house three times to provide him with a good growing environment. First, they lived near a cemetery. Young Mencius started learning games about funerals from other children. His mother thought this was not good, so she decided to move. Next, they moved next to a marketplace. Mencius then began to learn how to buy, sell, and shout like merchants. His mother still thought this was not good for his growth. Finally, they moved near a school. Here, Mencius started to learn manners and knowledge. His mother was finally satisfied. She believed this was the right place for her child. Later, Mencius studied hard and became a great scholar.
This story shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character. Parents believe that choosing a place with a positive atmosphere for their children, such as being near places that encourage learning and good behavior, can help children develop good habits and noble morals. This is similar to modern ideas which also stress the role of social environment. Meanwhile, the story also shows the great effort and care parents put into their children’s growth. They don’t just tell children what to do; they take action—like moving their home—to create the best conditions.
Of course, modern education also emphasizes that besides the external environment, it is equally important to develop children’s inner abilities like self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills. Just as we learned in this unit, we need to learn to deal with our emotions, control our anger, and take responsibility for our actions.
36.Why did Mencius’s mother decide to move the first time?
37.Where did they finally move to?
38.According to the passage, what does the story show about traditional Chinese parenting values?
39.Besides a good environment, what inner abilities does modern education think are important to develop in children? (Name at least two)
40.Do you think parents today should try their best to create a perfect environment for their children? Why or why not?

Teenagers often enjoy talking about their personal experiences. 34 They may tell you some interesting stories from their travels. Through the talk, you can build up trust.

三、任务型阅读(10分)
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times
In traditional Chinese culture, there are many famous stories and ideas about how to raise and educate children. The story of “Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times” is one of them. It tells us how important the environment is for a person’s growth.
The story happened in ancient China. Mencius became a great thinker in Chinese history. When he was a child, his mother moved house three times to provide him with a good growing environment. First, they lived near a cemetery. Young Mencius started learning games about funerals from other children. His mother thought this was not good, so she decided to move. Next, they moved next to a marketplace. Mencius then began to learn how to buy, sell, and shout like merchants. His mother still thought this was not good for his growth. Finally, they moved near a school. Here, Mencius started to learn manners and knowledge. His mother was finally satisfied. She believed this was the right place for her child. Later, Mencius studied hard and became a great scholar.
This story shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character. Parents believe that choosing a place with a positive atmosphere for their children, such as being near places that encourage learning and good behavior, can help children develop good habits and noble morals. This is similar to modern ideas which also stress the role of social environment. Meanwhile, the story also shows the great effort and care parents put into their children’s growth. They don’t just tell children what to do; they take action—like moving their home—to create the best conditions.
Of course, modern education also emphasizes that besides the external environment, it is equally important to develop children’s inner abilities like self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills. Just as we learned in this unit, we need to learn to deal with our emotions, control our anger, and take responsibility for our actions.
36.Why did Mencius’s mother decide to move the first time?
37.Where did they finally move to?
38.According to the passage, what does the story show about traditional Chinese parenting values?
39.Besides a good environment, what inner abilities does modern education think are important to develop in children? (Name at least two)
40.Do you think parents today should try their best to create a perfect environment for their children? Why or why not?
【答案】36.Because Mencius started learning funeral games near the cemetery and his mother thought it was not good. 37.They finally moved near a school. 38.It shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character. 39.Self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills. 40.Yes, I think parents should try to provide a positive environment, but they also need to help children develop inner strength to face challenges.
【解析】本文通过“孟母三迁”的故事,阐述了环境对儿童成长的重要性,同时结合现代教育理念,指出除了外部环境,培养孩子的内在能力同样关键。
36.根据第二段“First, they lived near a cemetery. Young Mencius started learning games about funerals from other children. His mother thought this was not good, so she decided to move.”可知,孟母第一次搬家是因为孟子在墓地附近学葬礼游戏,她认为这样不好。故填Because Mencius started learning funeral games near the cemetery and his mother thought it was not good.
37.根据第二段“Finally, they moved near a school.”可知,他们最后搬到了学校附近。故填They finally moved near a school.
38.根据第三段“This story shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character.”可知,这个故事体现了中国传统教育重视外部环境对孩子行为和性格的影响。故填It shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character.
39.根据第四段“modern education also emphasizes that besides the external environment, it is equally important to develop children’s inner abilities like self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills.”可知,现代教育认为重要的内在能力包括自我控制、责任感和情绪管理能力。任选两个作答即可。故填Self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills.
40.开放性问题,言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I think parents should try to provide a positive environment, but they also need to help children develop inner strength to face challenges.
