That was Bradleys first time to be in a helicopter,
20、and he was too absorbed with the “stunning view of the coastline.“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer.

24、ult to produce moving TV series.CYour colleagues sharp comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your students are trapped in a “he said/she said” battle. When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse.
25、If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing”, the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to a research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffe
26、ring, and display fewer signs of stress.But what might self-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings. One is thinking, “I cant believe he did that to me.” And another insists, “She really hurt my feeling
27、s.” However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?”Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies indicate that a change in point of
28、 view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, feel, and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.First, consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation. Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he,
29、 she, they, and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening. Finally, ask yourself, “How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years from now?” This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate,

How did these two people get to this point?31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Application of Self-distancing.B. Breaking
32、the Cycle of Negative Reflection.C. Ways to Reflect on Emotional Reactions.D. Why Self-distancing Matters.DDo you love food? Whether youre a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much tochoose from. We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for som
33、e people having a food allergy means eating certain things can actually be harmful and now, it seems, this is affecting more and more of us.An allergy is caused by the immune system fighting substances in the environment, known as allergens (过敏原), which should be seen as harmless. Food allergies can
34、 cause life-threatening reactions, which means people have to spend their lives following strict dietary restrictions and worrying about the ingredients of everything they consume. Allergy specialist Dr Adam Fox says, “If you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years there are much more allergic problems
35、around now than there were.”We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products and to peanuts. Last year a young girl died after suffering a deadly allergic reaction from eating a baguette containing sesame seeds. This led to a call for better food-labelling laws.Research has found that t
36、his problem is particularly affecting children. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs. Dr Alexandra Santos from Kings College London says “food allergy now affects about 7 percent of children in the UK and 9 percent of those in Australia. Across Europe, 2 percent
37、of adults have food allergies”.So what might be the cause? Dr Santos says the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them; it seems to be more environmental. She says possible factors are “pollution, dietary changes and less exp
38、osure to microbes (微生物), which change how our immune systems respond”.A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but thats not easy. So for now allergy sufferersmust watch what they eat and they must rely on clear and accurate labelling.32. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph
