The Queenstown Travel
Located next to Lake Wakatipu and around the Southern Alps, Queenstown, New Zealand, is a top choice for travelers looking for excitement and natural beauty. Whether you love adventure or want peace, this town has something for everyone.
Main Experiences
·Adventure Activities: Try bungee jumping, skydiving, or jet (喷气式) boating — all started here! If you want something less adventurous, hike the Routeburn Track to enjoy green forests and mountain views.
·Views: Take a trip on the TSS Earnslaw, an old steamship, to see glaciers and snow-covered mountains. Don’t miss the sunset over the lake; it’s really amazing.
·Wine Tasting: Visit nearby Central Otago, one of the world’s southernmost wine areas. Try award-winning Pinot Noir at vineyards (葡萄园) like Gibbston Valley, where you can see mountains from the vineyards.
·Cultural Experiences: Join a Maori cultural tour to learn about New Zealand’s native culture. Watch traditional haka shows and try hangi (food cooked in an earth oven).
·Family Fun: Go to Queenstown Gardens for boating on the lake or a picnic with views of the alps — great for a relaxed day with kids.
Practical Information
·Best Time to Visit: December to February (summer) for outdoor activities; June to August (winter) for skiing.
·Accommodation: Choose from nice hotels like The Rees Hotel or cheap hostels such as YHA Queenstown.

B
There I was, after 12 hours of travel, standing on Lexington Avenue and hoping for a New York miracle. I’d only been in Manhattan for an hour, and already was flagging down a taxi late at night and shouting, “Follow that cab(出租车)!”
Well, more clearly: “Follow that little dot (点) on this tiny map.” Meaning the GPS-enabled dot moving around a screen as part of the Find My iPhone function. The dot showed that somewhere out there, in one of New York City’s other 13,000 taxi cabs, sat my daughter’s blue bag that she’d left behind, with her diary, school laptop, notebooks, iPhone and AirPods she’d bought with her saved-up money.
The daughter, who at that very moment was on the hotel bed regretting her thoughtlessness, was in tears. I was a small-town dad in a huge, unfamiliar metropolis (大都市), with maybe half an idea of what I was doing, at best. But I couldn’t stand to see her crying. I had to get that bag back.
Let me explain what happened: at the airport, we’d had to take another taxi cab to get a ride into Manhattan. Our first taxi driver asked for a fare (车费) higher than it should have cost, and when I asked why, he immediately threw us out of his cab. Upon our arrival at our hotel, an hour later, we realized the first taxi driver had sped away with the bag inside.
While I called 311 (非紧急市政热线), my wife remembered she’d set up tracking on our daughter’s phone just in case. She pulled up its map, excited to discover a little dot that updated every 15 seconds or so, traveling around the streets of midtown. Talking to the woman working at 311, I remarked, “I even planned to get another cab and go after this dot on the map!”
“Well,” she said, “that’s probably what a New Yorker would do.” Challenge accepted. I rushed to the hotel gate, the first taxi driver then pulled over and laughed at my wild goose chase, but the second said, “Yeah. Get in.” His name was Gani. And so began our three-hour hunt for the missing bag.
4. How did the daughter feel when she found her bag was lost?
A. Indifferent. B. Upset. C. Angry. D. Relaxed.
5. When did they realize the loss of the bag?
A. After reaching the hotel. B. Upon changing taxis.
C. On the way to Manhattan. D. After calling the hotline.
6. What did the author consider doing after discovering the dot on the map?
A. Continuing to call 311. B. Waiting for the dot to come to him.
C. Finding another cab to pursue the dot. D. Giving up on looking for the lost item.
7. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. People in big cities were more helpful. B. Technology could make a difference.
C. New York was an unfriendly city. D. The hotline service offers limited support.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】作者一家人在纽约换乘出租车时不慎遗失女儿的包,依靠手机定位功能,作者搭乘出租车开启三小时搜寻,尽力找回失物。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The daughter, who at that very moment was on the hotel bed regretting her thoughtlessness, was in tears.(女儿当时正躺在酒店的床上,为自己的粗心懊悔不已,泪流满面。)”可知,女儿丢包后很难过。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Upon our arrival at our hotel, an hour later, we realized the first taxi driver had sped away with the bag inside.(一小时后,我们抵达酒店时,才发现第一位出租车司机已经带着装有包的车疾驰离开了。)”可知,他们到达酒店之后才发现包丢了。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Talking to the woman working at 311, I remarked, “I even planned to get another cab and go after this dot on the map!”(我在和非紧急市政热线工作人员交谈时说道:“我甚至打算另打一辆出租车,去追踪地图上的这个光点!”)”可知,作者打算另找一辆出租车去追踪这个光点。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“While I called 311 (非紧急市政热线), my wife remembered she’d set up tracking on our daughter’s phone just in case. She pulled up its map, excited to discover a little dot that updated every 15 seconds or so, traveling around the streets of midtown.(我拨打311的时候,妻子想起她已经提前给女儿的手机开启了定位功能以防万一。她打开地图,欣喜地发现一个大约每15秒更新一次的小点,正在市中心的街道移动。)”可知,手机定位这项技术帮助追踪丢失的包,由此推断作者认同科技能起到重要作用。
C
The Face-down Generation
If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (发短信和自拍) to become successful in real life?
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extracurricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents like this, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s adults are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do great and laugh out loud.
8. Why are the oh-ohs regarded as the “face-down generation”?
A. They focus heavily on their screens. B. They show little interest in global events.
C. They prefer taking selfies to real communication. D. They have trouble balancing study and friendship.
9. What would a “helicopter parent” do?
A. They do everything for their kids.
B. They give a lot of homework to their kids.
C. They take part in many extracurricular activities.
D. They would live like teenagers even if they are adults.
10. What’s the author’s opinion about the oh-ohs?
A. They are spoilt. B. They need to change.
C. They are full of hope. D. They are independent.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The lifestyle of the “face-down generation”.
B. The advantages of the “face-down generation”.
C. Opinions and facts about the “face-down generation”.
D. The challenges faced by the “face-down generation”.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍世人对00后“低头一代”的负面看法,包括沉迷手机、被溺爱等,同时列举他们的诸多优点,表达对这代年轻人未来的看好。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.(他们把你们看作“低头一代”,因为你们频繁使用手机,他们想知道你们将如何应对学业、朋友和家庭。)”可知,这一代人被称为低头一代是因为他们大量盯着手机屏幕。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extracurricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports.(他们总是陪伴在孩子身边进行指导和帮助,孩子的日程排得满满当当,布满作业以及舞蹈、绘画、运动等课外活动。)”可知,直升机父母会全方位管控、包办孩子的各类事情。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future.(所以如果你是00后中的一员,你完全有理由对未来满怀希望。)”可知,作者认为00后充满希望。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第二段“Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you.(一些成年人担心,你们对面前的屏幕比对周围的世界更感兴趣。)”以及第四段“Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s adults are better educated and more creative than past generations.(“低头一代”需要警示吗?好吧,或许不需要。事实是,如今很多年轻人比上几代人受教育程度更高、更有创造力。)”可知,文章介绍了人们对“低头一代”的不同看法以及相关事实。
D
The group member misses the deadline. The classmate talks loudly during your exam study. The parent focuses only on the one low grade. Situations such as these often get our hearts racing and make us angry. Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others shout out in anger. Both habits influence our bodies, our minds, and our relationships negatively.
Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to free themselves of their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a mental health expert. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal (发信号) that something needs to be dealt with.” When we take notice of that signal and actually deal with the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better.
One method of dealing with anger is to talk about it. Brain imaging at the University of Califomia Los Angeles has shown that if you name your feelings, you can actually calm the activity in the amygdala (杏仁核), the part of the brain that causes the let-out of hormones (激素) that lead to anger.
It helps to have a cool-down period before trying to explain to someone you’re angry with how he or she rocked your boat. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities to reduce the anger. That will allow for the effects of the hormones to disappear, which in turn allows you to think about what’s troubling you.
When you’re ready to talk to the other person, focus on the behavior and why it concerns you, not the person’s character. Don’t make general complaints, such as “You always do this”. Bring up your reasonable points to the other person in a way that is most likely to get a constructive (有助益的) response.
If you’re on the receiving end, remember that it’s good to admit and try to understand the other person’s anger. Try offering to make a change if you are really wrong. If you’re willing to work through heated situations, the other person will be much more likely to mention this matter peacefully in the future. In the end, you’ll both be healthier.
12. What does the underlined word “bottle up” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hide. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Recognize.
13. Which of the following statements might Patrick Keelan agree with?
A. Anger is a negative but common feeling.
B. Anger is a natural feeling but should be avoided.
C. Anger is an inner emotion that we seldom notice.
D. Anger is a signal that things go wrong with your mood.
14. What is the author’s advice for dealing with anger?
A. Focusing on changing the other person’s character.
B. Expressing your anger immediately to prevent buildup.
C. Naming your feelings to calm down before discussing.
D. Using sentences like “you always...” to stress your point.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why is anger a healthy feeling?
B. Why do people often get angry?
C. How can you stop an angry person?
D. How can we deal with anger the right way?
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出愤怒是一种正常健康的情绪信号,并阐述了正确处理愤怒的具体方法,包括先冷静、针对性沟通以及换位思考等。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others shout out in anger.(我们有些人会bottle up这种情绪,而有些人则会怒气冲冲地大喊出来。)”可知,此处提到两种不同的处理愤怒的方式,bottle up the emotion与shout out in anger“愤怒地大喊出来”形成对比,后者是外露情绪,前者应为“隐藏、压抑情绪”,bottle up与hide意思相近。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““A lot of people think they have to free themselves of their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a mental health expert. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal (发信号) that something needs to be dealt with.”(心理健康专家帕特里克·基兰(Patrick Keelan)说:“很多人认为他们必须摆脱愤怒。但愤怒是我们与生俱来的一种情绪,它是在向我们发出信号,表明有些事情需要处理。”)”可知,Patrick Keelan他认为愤怒并非需要摆脱的负面情绪,而是一种具有提示作用的正常情绪信号,表明有事情出现问题、需要处理;由此推知,Patrick Keelan可能会赞成D选项的观点。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Brain imaging at the University of Califomia Los Angeles has shown that if you name your feelings, you can actually calm the activity in the amygdala (杏仁核), the part of the brain that causes the let-out of hormones (激素) that lead to anger.(加州大学洛杉矶分校的脑部成像研究表明,如果你能说出自己的感受,实际上可以抑制杏仁核的活动,而杏仁核正是大脑中导致愤怒情绪激素释放的部分。)”以及第四段“It helps to have a cool-down period before trying to explain to someone you’re angry with how he or she rocked your boat.(在试图向令你生气的人解释他/她为何会触怒你之前,给自己留一个冷静的时段是很有必要的。)”可知,作者建议的处理方式是:先说出自己的感受来平复情绪,再进行沟通。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段列举引发愤怒的场景以及处理愤怒情绪的不同方式,第二段说明愤怒是正常健康的情绪,第三段至第六段重点介绍了处理愤怒的方法:说出感受平复情绪、先冷静再沟通、沟通时关注行为而非人格以及换位思考、承认并尝试理解对方的愤怒;由此可知,全文核心是阐述了如何正确处理愤怒,D选项“How can we deal with anger the right way?(我们如何以正确的方式处理愤怒呢?)”能够概括本文主旨,为最佳标题。故选D。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Guiding Children in Choosing After-school Activities
Many children today face stress from school, friends, or competition. Nina Kaiser, a licensed psychologist based in San Francisco, reminds parents that after-school activities should not add more pressure. ____16____. Kaiser points out, “Younger kids often try many activities because they are still finding out what they like — and that is normal.” So how can parents help their children choose the right activities?
To begin with, parents should allow children to join in the decision-making. ____17____. When they feel that their voices are heard, they often show more energy and excitement toward the activity.
Next, it is necessary to value each child’s personal interests. Every child has different hobbies and talents (天资). If parents force them to do something they dislike, children may feel stressed or upset. ____18____. This will make learning easier and more enjoyable.
____19____. Sometimes children may want to give up on an activity. Parents do not need to decide right away. Instead, they should talk with the child, wait patiently, and think of possible changes. Through discussion, both sides can find a solution together.
Lastly, parents should avoid putting too much pressure. Not every child will find his or her passion (爱好) right away. It is normal for children to face difficulties at the beginning, especially when they are still learning. ____20____.
A. What matters is to study something useful
B. Parents shouldn’t allow them to drop the activity
C. Another key point is to keep open communication
D. Instead, they should give children the chance to learn and grow
E. With patience and support, they will finally find what they love
F. Even younger kids can share their thoughts about what they enjoy
G. A better way is to choose an activity that fits their ability and interest
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要给父母如何帮助孩子选择合适的课外活动提供了一些实用建议。
【16题详解】
由上文“Nina Kaiser, a licensed psychologist based in San Francisco, reminds parents that after-school activities should not add more pressure. (旧金山的执业心理学家尼娜・凯泽提醒家长,课外活动不应该增加更多压力)”及下文“Kaiser points out, “Younger kids often try many activities because they are still finding out what they like—and that is normal.” (凯泽指出:“小孩子经常尝试很多活动,因为他们还在发现自己喜欢什么 —— 这很正常。”)”可知,上文强调课外活动不应增加压力,下文说明孩子尝试多种活动很正常,空处应承接上文,给出家长对应的正确做法。D选项“相反,他们应该给孩子学习和成长的机会”符合语境,衔接上下文。故选D。
【17题详解】
由上文“To begin with, parents should allow children to join in the decision-making. (首先,父母应该允许孩子参与决策)”及下文“When they feel that their voices are heard, they often show more energy and excitement toward the activity. (当他们感觉自己的声音被倾听时,他们通常会对这项活动表现出更多的精力和热情)”可知,上文提及让孩子参与决策,下文说明孩子声音被倾听的好处,空处应具体说明孩子参与决策的表现。F选项“即使是小孩子也能分享他们对自己喜欢的东西的想法”符合语境,呼应“参与决策”这一话题。故选F。
【18题详解】
由上文“If parents force them to do something they dislike, children may feel stressed or upset. (如果父母强迫他们做自己不喜欢的事情,孩子可能会感到压力或沮丧)”及下文“This will make learning easier and more enjoyable. (这将使学习更容易,也更有趣)”可知,上文指出强迫孩子做不喜欢的事的弊端,下文说明某种做法的好处,空处应给出正确的选择活动的方式。G选项“更好的方法是选择一项适合他们能力和兴趣的活动”符合语境,“适合能力和兴趣”既对应上文“不强迫做不喜欢的事”,也能带来下文的积极效果。故选G。
【19题详解】
由下文“Sometimes children may want to give up on an activity. Parents do not need to decide right away. Instead, they should talk with the child, wait patiently, and think of possible changes. (有时孩子可能想放弃一项活动。父母不需要马上做决定。相反,他们应该和孩子谈谈,耐心等待,并考虑可能的改变)”可知,下文重点讲述孩子想放弃活动时,父母应通过沟通解决问题,空处应概括这一核心内容。C选项“另一个关键点是保持开放的沟通”符合语境,总领该段内容。故选C。
【20题详解】
由上文“Not every child will find his or her passion right away. It is normal for children to face difficulties at the beginning, especially when they are still learning. (并不是每个孩子都能马上找到自己的爱好。孩子在一开始遇到困难是很正常的,尤其是在他们还在学习的时候)”可知,上文说明孩子找到爱好需要时间且过程中可能遇困难,空处应给出家长对应的态度和结果。E选项“有了耐心和支持,他们最终会找到自己喜欢的东西”符合语境,承接上文的情况,给出积极的预期。故选E。

【21题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:两种病都在侵蚀我的身体,但我决心保持身心活跃。A. healthy健康的;B. active活跃的;C. calm平静的;D. safe安全的。根据上文“I was diagnosed with two serious illnesses. Both were weakening”可知,上文提到两种重病让人虚弱,转折词“but”体现“虽身体虚弱,但决心保持身心状态”,结合下文提到后“扔球、打棒球”等行为都是活跃的表现。由此可知,作者决心保持身心活跃。故选B。
【22题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我知道,如果只是无所事事地坐着,身体会变得更虚弱。A. stronger更强壮的;B. busier更忙碌的;C. weaker更虚弱的;D. happier更快乐的。根据上文“Both were weakening”可知,两种疾病都在削弱作者的身体,所以坐着不动会让作者变得更虚弱。故选C。

【27题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我从慢速投球开始练起,渐渐尝试更快的投球。A. slower更慢的;B. faster更快的;C. easier更容易的;D. softer更软的。根据上文“started with slow pitches”和“gradually”可知,难度是递进的,因此后续尝试更快的球。故选B。
【28题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:虽然积极的心态没有治愈我的病,但它确实让我能够完成这些体能活动。A. probably可能;B. rarely很少;C. hardly几乎不;D. certainly确实。根据上文“positive thinking has not cured my illnesses”和转折词“but”可知,其确实带来了积极效果,“certainly(无疑地)”强调肯定性,体现积极心态确实让作者能完成这些身体动作。故选D。
【29题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:我知道最终总有一方会获胜,但我从未放弃。A. eventually最终;B. suddenly突然;C. recently最近;D. immediately立即。根据上文“a race against illness”可知,与疾病赛跑最终会有胜负,“eventually(最终)”体现时间上的必然结果。故选A。

考查动词词义辨析。句意:我的儿子是一名医生,他曾经说过,积极的心态会极大地影响我们的身体和免疫系统,尽管我们无法完全解释其中的原理。A. accept接受;B. explain解释;C. ignore忽视;D. doubt怀疑。根据上文提到积极态度有影响和“though(尽管)”体现转折可知,我们无法完全解释其中的原理。故选B。

B
There I was, after 12 hours of travel, standing on Lexington Avenue and hoping for a New York miracle. I’d only been in Manhattan for an hour, and already was flagging down a taxi late at night and shouting, “Follow that cab(出租车)!”
Well, more clearly: “Follow that little dot (点) on this tiny map.” Meaning the GPS-enabled dot moving around a screen as part of the Find My iPhone function. The dot showed that somewhere out there, in one of New York City’s other 13,000 taxi cabs, sat my daughter’s blue bag that she’d left behind, with her diary, school laptop, notebooks, iPhone and AirPods she’d bought with her saved-up money.
The daughter, who at that very moment was on the hotel bed regretting her thoughtlessness, was in tears. I was a small-town dad in a huge, unfamiliar metropolis (大都市), with maybe half an idea of what I was doing, at best. But I couldn’t stand to see her crying. I had to get that bag back.
Let me explain what happened: at the airport, we’d had to take another taxi cab to get a ride into Manhattan. Our first taxi driver asked for a fare (车费) higher than it should have cost, and when I asked why, he immediately threw us out of his cab. Upon our arrival at our hotel, an hour later, we realized the first taxi driver had sped away with the bag inside.
While I called 311 (非紧急市政热线), my wife remembered she’d set up tracking on our daughter’s phone just in case. She pulled up its map, excited to discover a little dot that updated every 15 seconds or so, traveling around the streets of midtown. Talking to the woman working at 311, I remarked, “I even planned to get another cab and go after this dot on the map!”
“Well,” she said, “that’s probably what a New Yorker would do.” Challenge accepted. I rushed to the hotel gate, the first taxi driver then pulled over and laughed at my wild goose chase, but the second said, “Yeah. Get in.” His name was Gani. And so began our three-hour hunt for the missing bag.
4. How did the daughter feel when she found her bag was lost?
A. Indifferent. B. Upset. C. Angry. D. Relaxed.
5. When did they realize the loss of the bag?
A. After reaching the hotel. B. Upon changing taxis.
C. On the way to Manhattan. D. After calling the hotline.
6. What did the author consider doing after discovering the dot on the map?
A. Continuing to call 311. B. Waiting for the dot to come to him.
C. Finding another cab to pursue the dot. D. Giving up on looking for the lost item.
7. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. People in big cities were more helpful. B. Technology could make a difference.
C. New York was an unfriendly city. D. The hotline service offers limited support.
C
The Face-down Generation
If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (发短信和自拍) to become successful in real life?
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extracurricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents like this, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s adults are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do great and laugh out loud.
8. Why are the oh-ohs regarded as the “face-down generation”?
A. They focus heavily on their screens. B. They show little interest in global events.

9. What would a “helicopter parent” do?
A. They do everything for their kids.
B. They give a lot of homework to their kids.
C. They take part in many extracurricular activities.
D. They would live like teenagers even if they are adults.
10. What’s the author’s opinion about the oh-ohs?

D
The group member misses the deadline. The classmate talks loudly during your exam study. The parent focuses only on the one low grade. Situations such as these often get our hearts racing and make us angry. Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others shout out in anger. Both habits influence our bodies, our minds, and our relationships negatively.
Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to free themselves of their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a mental health expert. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal (发信号) that something needs to be dealt with.” When we take notice of that signal and actually deal with the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better.
One method of dealing with anger is to talk about it. Brain imaging at the University of Califomia Los Angeles has shown that if you name your feelings, you can actually calm the activity in the amygdala (杏仁核), the part of the brain that causes the let-out of hormones (激素) that lead to anger.
It helps to have a cool-down period before trying to explain to someone you’re angry with how he or she rocked your boat. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities to reduce the anger. That will allow for the effects of the hormones to disappear, which in turn allows you to think about what’s troubling you.
When you’re ready to talk to the other person, focus on the behavior and why it concerns you, not the person’s character. Don’t make general complaints, such as “You always do this”. Bring up your reasonable points to the other person in a way that is most likely to get a constructive (有助益的) response.
If you’re on the receiving end, remember that it’s good to admit and try to understand the other person’s anger. Try offering to make a change if you are really wrong. If you’re willing to work through heated situations, the other person will be much more likely to mention this matter peacefully in the future. In the end, you’ll both be healthier.
12. What does the underlined word “bottle up” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hide. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Recognize.
13. Which of the following statements might Patrick Keelan agree with?
A. Anger is a negative but common feeling.
B. Anger is a natural feeling but should be avoided.
C. Anger is an inner emotion that we seldom notice.
D. Anger is a signal that things go wrong with your mood.
14. What is the author’s advice for dealing with anger?
A. Focusing on changing the other person’s character.
B. Expressing your anger immediately to prevent buildup.
C. Naming your feelings to calm down before discussing.
D. Using sentences like “you always...” to stress your point.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why is anger a healthy feeling?
B. Why do people often get angry?
C. How can you stop an angry person?
D. How can we deal with anger the right way?
