26、Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with Stress
If you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. 【1】 The following stress management tips can help you do that.
Get moving
When you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. 【2】 You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.
Connect to others
There is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress. 【3】. And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.
【4】
When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.
Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. 【5】
A.Take control of your own life.
B.Learn to relieve stress in the moment.
C.They simply need to be good listeners.
D.But physical activity is a huge stress reliever.
E.But you have a lot more control than you might think.
F.That’s why it’s important to experiment and find out what works best for you.
G.While it’s not easy to avoid all stress, Learning about it can help you avoid unnecessary stress.
27、 Children who suffer trauma (创伤) from abuse or violence early in life show biological signs of aging faster than children who have never experienced adversity(逆境), according to the research published by the American Psychological Association. The study examined three different signs of biological aging-early adolescence, cellular aging and changes in brain structure-and found that trauma exposure was associated with all the three.
Exposure to adversity in childhood is a powerful predictor of health outcomes later in life—not only mental health outcomes like depression and anxiety, but also physical health like cardiovascular disease(心血管病), diabetes and cancer," said Katie Mclaugllin, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Harvard University and senior author of the study published in the journal Psychological Bulletin."Our study suggests that experiencing violence can make the body age more quickly at a biological level, which may help to explain that connection.”
Previous research found mixed evidence on whether childhood adversity is always linked to accelerated aging. However, those studies looked at many different types of adversity abuse, neglect, poverty and more and at several different measures of biological aging. To distinguish the results, McLaughlin and her colleagues decided to look separately at two categories of adversity: threat-related adversity, such as abuse and violence, and deprivation- related(与缺乏有关的) adversity, such as physical or emotional neglect or poverty.
The researchers performed an analysis(分析) of almost 80 studies, with more than 116,000 total participants. They found that children who suffered threat-related trauma such as violence or abuse were more likely to enter adolescence early and also showed signs of accelerated aging on a cellular level—including shortened telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of our strands of DNA that wear down as we age. However, children who experienced poverty or neglect did not show either of those signs of early aging.
In a second analysis, Mclaughlin and her colleagues systematically reviewed 25 studies with more than 3, 253 participants that examined how early-life adversity affects brain development. They found that adversity was associated with reduced cortical (表层) thickness-- a sign of aging because the cortex thins as people age.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To bring in a finding.
B.To present an argument.
C.To give a definition
D.To make a comparison.
【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A.Katie McLaughlin is a specialist in childhood diseases.
B.Childhood threat-related adversity has a huge influence on children's later life.
C.Adversity helps children overcome mental and physical problems.
D.Exposure to violence makes children mentally age most.
【3】How did Mclaughlin and her colleagues conduct the research?
A.By interviewing participants.
B.By listing mixed evidence.
C.By making an analysis.
D.By collecting examples.
【4】What is this text mainly about?
A.The signs of accelerated aging.
B.The ways to classify information.
C.The benefits of exposure to adversity.
D.The connection between childhood trauma and aging.
28、Although onions taste delicious, watering eyes come with the process when you cut them up. Thankfully, Good Housekeeping has suggested some tips for preventing yourself from crying while trying to cut up an onion.
According to the findings from an institute, putting onions in a fridge for 30 minutes before cutting it can prevent the annoying hurt, as the cold stops the tear-jerking (催泪的) gas from being produced.
Another way to reduce the gas released by the onion is to put it in water for a while. Good Housekeeping recommends:“Cut the end off the onion and then put it straight into a bowl of water. The water will draw the acid, making you shed less tears when you cut it.”
When an onion grows, it mixes with sulfur (硫) in the soil to create a special mineral acid. When the onion is cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas. As it reaches your face, this annoying gas causes the eyes to produce tears.
The root is where the gases are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the onion be left on as you cut it to avoid uncomfortable eyes. Do this by cutting the vegetable in half down the middle to create a flat surface. Then, place the onion with its flat surface down and cut it towards the root.
Also, to reduce the gas’s effect on your eyes, cut it next to a window or near a fan so the gas is blown away from your face. And take care to use a sharp knife; this will make it easier to move through the vegetable, causing fewer cells to be broken and fewer gases to be released as a result.
【1】Refrigerating the onion before cutting it can .
A.change its taste
B.make it easier to cut up
C.avoid the appearing of the gas
D.help the gases mix more quickly
【2】From the fourth paragraph, what happens when the onion is cut up?
A.Some mineral acid is lost.
B.The tear mixture is created.
C.The sulfur inside it pours out.
D.A chemical reaction produces a gas.
【3】Where is this passage most probably taken from?
A.A health column.
B.A science journal.
C.A fashion magazine.
D.A food guidebook.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A.To offer an explanation and advice.
B.To conduct an investigation and analysis(分析).
C.To have a discussion and draw a conclusion.
D.To give a presentation and make a comparison.
29、
Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(男子气概),the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(传统观念),a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions,rather than feeling they had to obey the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little,headmaster of Eton,warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style,letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom,wrote the study’s author, Abigail James of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them.Because boys generally have sharper vision,learn best through touch, and are physically more active,they need to be given “hands-on”lessons where they are allowed to walk around.“Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modem type in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships.“In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported.
【1】The author believes that a single-sex school would .
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”
B.help to form masculine aggressiveness in boys
C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D.naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys
【2】It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys .
A.perform ly better B.grow up more healthily
C.behave more responsibly D.receive a better education
【3】What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
A.It fails more boys than girls academically.
B.It focuses more on mixed school education.
C.It fails to give boys the attention they need.
D.It places more pressure on boys than on girls.
【4】According to Abigail James,one of the advantages of single-sex schools is .
A. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-minded
C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事
In the farmers' market, there were many other stalls (摊位) with all kinds of food for sale as well as colourful rows of fruit and vegetables set out on tables. Cooked food stalls filled the air with the wonderful smells of hot tasty snacks, and the smell of fresh coffee was everywhere.
"Wow," Gus cried out, "Jam (果酱)!"
Just in front of him, there was a jam stall that sold all kinds of home-made jam. But the only kind Gus wanted was strawberry, so he bought a jar. He couldn't help but taste the jam immediately. It was OK, he frowned (皱眉) and shook his head, but never as good as Rose's, whose jam was just magic.
Rose was his neighbour, an elderly lady who lived alone but liked company now and again. Her doorbell was usually too quiet before Gus and his mom moved to the village after his father's death. Gus often rang her doorbell and asked whether she needed anything from the supermarket as he and his mother were going to town. In return, Rose would often give Gus a jar of jam. Gus was amazed how jam could be so delicious, so whenever free he would be at Rose's home watching her make the super jam.
Suddenly, an idea struck Gus. Probably he could try that to make some money and help his mum. He then bought a bag of potatoes for Rose for her kind offer of wonderful jam.
