If you're in a bad mood, you may feel as if you'll never get out of it. Fortunately, your thoughts have a lot of control over your mood. In fact, they have so much power over your mood that they can even affect the way you physically feel.【1】

Change what you're doing. If you're unhappy because you feel bored, try doing something different. 【2】For instance, if you've been in back-to-back meetings throughout your day with no free time, treat yourself to a funny movie at the end of your day. Changing what you’re doing can work wonders on your mood.

【3】If you think your unhappy mood is stress related, get outside to reduce stress and lift your mood. Try going for a walk in the park or visit a garden. Being outside can greatly improve your mood.

Exercise. Go for a workout, play one of your favorite sports or activities, or just be more active in your daily routine. Studies have shown that exercising improves mood by signaling your body to release “feel-good” chemicals into your brain.【4】

Do something that makes you smile. Studies have shown that smiling can improve your mood even if you're in a bad mood to begin with. Even if you don't feel like smiling, just reminding yourself of the act of smiling can cheer you up.

【5】Or you can talk with a friend who you know always makes you laugh or smile.

27、If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It’s nothing personal．Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．

But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．

In the past two decades，the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the old Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．

So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well．

Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．

As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

【1】The first paragraph is mainly intended to_________．

A. provide some key facts about Confucius

【3】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students________．

C. have a great interest in studying Chinese

D. hope to make money in China

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

28、Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries?Whether your worries are big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.

【1】

The first step is to find out what you’re worried about. Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even if it might not be so easy.

Think of the ways to make it better.

【2】 Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem. Grades at school are often a top worry for students. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:

★How do I get ready for class?Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?

★Do I have a good place to do my homework?【3】

★Have I tried different ways of studying?

If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do-write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, apologize to him or her etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.【4】

Ask for help.

When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with. 【5】 They will help you analyze(分析)your problems carefully and solve them easily.

A．Try to find out the causes.

B．Seek ways to make you feel happy.

C．Consult your teacher when in trouble.

E．There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried.

F．Actually the grades will improve when you deal with the homework seriously.

G．Things will become better if you are willing to think of various ways to deal with them.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music

  It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”

  But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?

  A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.

  We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.

  But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.

  They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.

  Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.

  【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.

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。

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the top, ate the apples, sleep under the tree...He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by...The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree, looking quite sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid. I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after that. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy   returned   and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches (树枝) to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was lonely and sad again.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting tired. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk (树干) to make a boat.
