26、Understanding Your Feelings Helps You Name And Tame (驯服) Them
We all experience various feelings all the time. Some of them feel great, some feel unpleasant, and it’s helpful to be able to recognize and understand how you’re feeling so you know how to deal with it.
【1】 They can include anger, sadness, worry, loneliness and shame, as well as surprise, happiness, courage and hope, among many others.【2】 All feelings are there to be felt and some can be more uncomfortable than others. It’s OK and natural to experience different emotions – and that includes emotions that might not feel nice.
To deal with your feelings you need to recognize what they are. 【3】 Are your fists clenched (攥紧)? Does it seem like there’s a knot in your stomach? Next, pay attention to what you’re thinking at this time. 【4】 Or are you thinking that you really don’t want to do something? Once you have identified how you’re feeling, you can label it by saying, for example, “I’m feeling angry” or “I’m feeling lonely” .
You can understand a difficult feeling and help yourselfto handle it. 【5】 If you’re upset about a difficult feeling, like “I’m feeling angry”, you might count to ten to calm down. Perhaps you notice “I’m feeling nervous”, and you might talk to someone about it. The person you talk to may be able to give you reassurance, more information, a different point of view, or even help you take action to deal with the cause of your difficult feeling.

28、It is important for you to be a good listener in class. Much of what you will have to learn will be presented verbally (口头上) by your teachers. Just hearing what your teachers say is not the same as listening to what they say. Listening is a cognitive (认知的) act that requires you to pay attention and think about and mentally process what you hear. Here are some things you should do to be a good listener in class.
*Be Cognitively Ready to Listen When You Come to Class. 【1】 Review your notes from previous class sessions. Think about what you know about the topic that will be covered in class that day.
*Be Emotionally Ready to Listen When You Come to Class. 【2】 Make a conscious choice to find the topic useful and interesting. Be committed to learning all that you can.
*Be an Active Listener. 【3】 Use this to your advantage by evaluating what is being said and trying to anticipate what will be said next. Take good written notes about what your teacher says. While you can think faster than your teacher can speak, you cannot write faster than your teacher can speak. 【4】
*Meet the Challenge. Don’t give up and stop listening when you find the information being presented difficult to understand. Listen even more carefully at these times and work hard to understand what is being said. 【5】
A.Listen with an open mind.
B.Your attitude is important.
C.Taking notes requires you to make decisions about what to write.
D.Don’t give in to these inconveniences.
E.Make sure you complete all assigned work.

29、If you're one of the millions of those who use escalators each year, you are probably deeply familiar with the vertical grooves(竖凹槽)that cover each stair. Few of us have stopped to consider why they exist, though. In fact, it's one of the everyday things we take for granted.
But it is a little complicating when you think about it. Sure, the deep, grey lines make an escalator's metal stairs more appealing to the eye. But regular stairs don't have grooves like these; why do escalators need them? Is it because of the movement?
It turns out those grooves serve a more functional purpose. And, yes, it does have to do with the movement, as well as with general cleanliness! Anyone who has ridden an escalator knows that the steps everlastingly circulate from the top to the bottom. You've surely noticed the ridged yellow lip at the top of the escalator. But here's what you may not have noticed: As an escalator's steps flatten, this ridge—also called the comb plate—sweeps away any trash or litter that might have fallen on the stairs. Those grooves lock the step and comb plate together, which makes it harder for any dangerous materials to slide underneath the lip. This prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in that gap, potentially causing the escalator to stop, or worse, break down completely.
That's not the only reason why the grooves were created, though. They are also a good place for water to pool together, protecting you from a bad fall on the slick surface.
So the next time you step on an escalator, take a moment to appreciate those metal grooves. They exist to make sure you get to your office meeting on time.
【1】What are the first two paragraphs trying to say?
A.Millions of people use escalators every year.
B.Few people think much about the grooves.
C.Escalators are complicated machines.
D.Grooves make the stairs look better.
【2】The ridge is mainly designed to____
A.clean off dangerous objects.
B. keep the stairs in movement.
C.flatten the steps.
D.lock the steps.
【3】What does the underlined word "slick” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Smooth.
B.Sticky.
C.Steep.
D.Slippery.
【4】What's the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of escalators.
B.The reasons for grooves on stairs.
C.The look of grooves in escalators.
D.The safe ways of riding escalators.
