How to Shift'Big Feelings Emotions are an essential part of what makes us human.The current wisdom in therapy (心理治疗)and on social media is that we should face negative emotious head on一and that if we don't,they will go bad inside of us.There's no doubt that 1(cope)with stressful situations through long-term avoidance is harmful and can lead to more psychological distress, but not all avoidance is bad.Since the 1980s,avoidance 2 (see)as a sign of weakness, yet the evidence tells a more complex story. Sometimes,it's best not to choose between approaching or avoiding,but to shift betweeu the two intentionally.Avoidance can allow the intensity ot a negative experience3 (decrease).It can also provide distance4 nelps us see the experience from a broader perspective How can you figure out whether to avoid or to face up to your feelings?Dr.Kross,an emotion researcher,suggested asking yourself,"Is5 I'm doing making me feel better about the problem in front of me?Is this issue still a concern6I take some time away from it?” If you find that shifting your focus brings you relief and your concerns don't resurface down the road,that counts as working.You might say something regrettable at a party,for instance,but instead of worrying about it,you distract yourself by watching funny videos that night,(eave)the awkward moment to fade on its own. When we use the word "you,"it is almost only to refer to other people,Dr.Kross said.Bu when you use it on yourself,it's a strategy (know)as distanced self-talk,which ca be a powerful way to regulate negative emotions.So instead of saying "I am stressed out, which may cause your heart to race,tell yourself"9 are stressed out."This can ca you into the role of "someone else,"and 10 help you feel more sympathy ar understand others'feelings. 而 Section B(1'X10=10>) Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. 人.abandoned B.committed C.matter D.crucial E.mutually F.release G.sheltering H.cooperate I.victim J.visually K.overflowing On Saturday mornings,while his classmates are still asleep,seventeen-year-old Li Wei rides across town to a small animal centre behind a row of old flats.Most of the animals here, __11by owners who simply moved away,arrive thin and frightened.The centre,run entirely by teenagers,has been12.them since 2009-cats,dogs,rabbits and once even a parrot. Volunteers spend hours cleaning cages and washing blankets,and they will not13 an animal back onto the street until it can look after itself.For months,though,the teenagers found it hard to14 with two local veterinary clinics whose doctors were always in a hurry.What brings Li Wei back week after week is not the routine but the fact that an animal and the person who feeds it 15trust. The volunteers,convinced that such small changes16,keep coming back in the coldest weeks of winter.Aten-year study tound that volunteers fully to a cause report far higher levels of happiness than those who help only once,and the reason may be physical: steady contact with another living creature can be18to a teenager's well-being. Each animal here was once the19 of a cruelty that nobody in the neighborhood ever reported.The building itself is old,badly lit and hardly20 appealing,yet looking after even one of them teaches the teenagers something no classroom can."The animals give me more than I give them,"Li Wei says."They make me feel that I can make a difference." II.Reading Comprehension Section A(1'X15=15) Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Fear is a natural and valuable emotion.It has great survival value for human beings, 21 us to fight for survival or run away quickly from a threat.But too much fear in the form of chronic((慢性的)anxiety is incredibly__22 and weakening. Anxiety is prolonged fear that persists in the23ofa real threat:after a threat is over, during situations that aren't actually very dangerous,or before a/an24threat in the 第2页共8页 future.When anxiety becomes chronic and25your life,it transforms into an anxiety disorder.Research consistently shows that cognitive (bebavioral therapy(CBT)is the most26anxiety treatment.It works better than drugs,psychoanalysis,and all the other ways we have tried to treat 27over the years. Broadly speaking,two CBT approaches for treating anxiety have 28:coping and exposure.Coping is changing how you think,evaluating threats more accurately,and building confidence in your ability to 29a threat so that you are gradually less afraid.Exposure is 30 experiencing what you are afraid of.In other words,you intentionally put yourself in the feared situation,proving your terrible predictions of disaster to be false,until your fear naturally dies down.The most recent data show that both approaches help,but exposure can work faster and 31 larger,longer-lasting reductions in anxiety. If you suffer from anxiety,you can apply the latest and most effective procedure for exposure,called restrictive learning.It was3.by a team of therapists and researchers who published their results in 2014.This special exposure 33 will help you overcome anxiety as rapidly and completely as possible. The most effectiye coping 34 used in CBT and related therapies include coping planning,cognitive flexibility,and distress tolerance.They are research-tested, 35 effective techniques that will improve and strengthen your anxiety recovery program. 21.A.persuading B.remembering C.expecting D.preparing 22.A.jealous B.painfuil C.innocent D.conscious 23.A.abstract B.existence C.absence D.situation 24:A.potential B.essential C.available D.sustainable 25.A.instructs B.enhances C.stimulates D.dominates 26.A.effective B.objective C.invisible D.significant 27.A.pressure B.ignorance C.anxiety D.depression 28.A.described B.emerged C.protected D.prioritized 29.A.overlook B.simplify ·C.remark D.handle 30.A.purposefully B.dramatically C.miserably D.passionately 31.A.breaks through B.turns down C.results in D.works out 32.A.composed B.developed C.predicted D.symbolized 33.A.commitment B.evidence C.consumption D.process 第3页共8页 34.A.strategies B.behaviors C.responses D.examples 35.A.naturally B.probably C.highly D.initially Section B(2'X7=14') Directions:Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) We often picture today's teens as social-media addicts.They stare at their phones 24/7 and lash out when they can't have their WeChat fix.But the truth is more complicated:While they depend on social media to keep up with friends,it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure,and they know it. When I spoke to four students at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks,Calif.,as part of my nation-wide teen listening tour,they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media,how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout. While teens generally acknowledge that social media helps them keep up with their friends, around 45%of them say they feel troubled by the drama they often encounter.according to Pew Research Center.Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes. Many teens even take voluntary breaks from social media,according to a study conducted by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago.It found that 60%who have taken breaks have taken three or more,and 23%of teens who haven't taken a break from social media have wanted to take one.About half of teens say their social-media breaks are typically a week or longer. The Sherman Oaks teens I spoke with say they too have taken breaks to avoid burnout. They all have friends who don't even bother with social media,and they say they admire it.Still, the fear of missing out usually draws them back.Or,as one of the four students told me,"It kind of gets a little lonely after a while." 36.The expression"lash out"(paragraph 1)can be best replaced by_ A.take on B.break away C.pass off D.get angry 37.It is indicated in the passage that is what some teens do on purpose on social media. A.selecting whom to share their posts with B.letting others handle their posts C.showing their displeasure D quitting to keep from feeling hurt 38.According to the passage,some teens take breaks from social media to A.gather more materials for online drama B.escape the pressure of making comments C.avoid feeling left out by their peers D.relieve exhaustion from being disturbed 39.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A.The downside of social media:Why teens get addicted B.The social media:More connectivity than isolation among teens C.The unseen consequences of social media:A teenage perspective D.The influence of social media:A comprehensive teenage analysis (B) Stepping Stones is a nonprofit offering a variety of ways to support life-changing services for children,teenagers and adults with disabilities.

E.Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial. They're more likely to distract you. The Benefits of Talking to Your Dog It's common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day-about what each other is doing or how cute or playful the pup is.It's a gentle reminder of what's meaningful. "When you talk to your dog,you get a sense that this is why you're here-no matter what happens at work or with your finances,your dog still loves you and needs you,and that gives you a sense of purpose,"says Lany Young,an expert on social bonding at Emory University. 43 In a 2018 study,researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions,such as depression,jealousy,anxiety,and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends. The precise reasons for this aren't known but one possibility is that "pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don't interrupt or reply,"says study coauthor Daniel Mills,a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln. 44 Even so,there's value in simply expressing emotions,especially troublesome ones.Research has found that when people put their emotions into words,their negative feelings become less intense. Another hidden advantage:Your dog isn't going to engage in a conversation about what's bothering you,which could keep you thinking about it. 45 "Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,"Mills says."Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.” Further support for this phenomenon comes from a 2022 study.It was found that by engaging in micro-breaks to pet their pup,the people are able to relax and recover-in ways that interacting with unfurry family members doesn't. 46 "They can sense when we're upset-and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,"says Kogan.And"because we know that our dogs read us so well,we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs,which is helpful for us as well."It's positive feedback loop(反馈回路)， 第7页共8页 III.Summary Writing (3') 47.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)ofthe passage in no more than 25 words.Use your own words as far as possible. Our long-held belief that recycling is the best way to deal with waste turns out to be misleading.New research reveals that recycling education has misled the public.For example, nearly half of those surveyed could not rank"reduce,reuse,recycle"correctly,so many still think recycling comes first.Rules don't work well,either.Confusing rules like "chasing arrows" often strengthen public misunderstanding,because the symbol makes consumers believe all plastic can be recycled.
