45、trated, stop. Yes, thats right, stop. Whatever youre doing, stop and sit for one minute. While youre sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.

When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”Once youve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be s

When you feel youve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if youre willing to carry that negativity with you f
48、or the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simplealmost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing
49、 it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.62. Which o

53、haved as they used to be. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she recounts in detail how she used to be told to respect the elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say please and thank you. Children in her day, she
54、 continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their ps and qs.If you give her the chance, she then takes out of her drawer the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displayin
55、g. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents, you feel sure that, with a father as stern-looking as that, you too would have been seen and not heard. He had a lot of neatly cut hair, long side-whiskers and a big moustache. In the photographs, he is always clutching (抓住) his coat with one ha
56、nd, while in the other he holds a thin walking stick. Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were so clumsy to a little girl, that she hadnt enough breath left to be talkative, let
57、alone mischievous (淘气的). It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age. Despite their long black shorts and their serious expressions in the photographs, I always suspect that their live
58、s were considerably more enjoyable than hers. One can imagine them telling each other to shut up or mind their own business, as soon as their parents were out of sight.Going to see Granny on Sundays used to be a terrible experience. We would always be warned in advance to be on our best behavior, si
59、nce my mother made a great effort to show how well brought up we were, in spite of our old, comfortable clothes, our incomprehensible (to Granny) slang, and our noisy games in the garden. We had to change into what Granny described as our Sundays best for lunch, when we would sit uncomfortably, kick
60、ing each other under the table. We were continually being ordered to sit up straight, to take our elbows off the table, to wait till everybody had been served, not to wolf down our food, nor to talk with our mouths full. At length we would be told to ask to be excused from the table and ordered to f
61、ind quiet occupations for the rest of the day. We were always very bad-tempered by the evening, and would complain angrily all the way home.Yet though we hated the Sunday visit, we never questioned the rules of good manners themselves. I remember being greatly shocked as a child to hear one of my fr
62、iends telling her father to shut up. I knew I could never have spoken like that to my father and it would never have occurred to me to do so.However, my childhood was much freer than Grannys. I went to school with my brother and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common langu
63、age, and we got up to the same mischief. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight dress, and sew.But I do sometimes look wistfully (惆怅地) at an old sampler which hangs in the hall, which was embroidered (刺绣) by an even more distant relativemy great-great-aunt, of whom, regrettably
64、, no photograph remains. It was done as an example of her progress in learning. The alphabet is carefully sewn in large colored childish letters from A to Z, and below it a small verse reads:Mary Saunders is my name,And with my needle I worked the same,That by it you may plainly seeWhat care my pare
65、nts have for me.It must have taken that little five-year-old months and months of laborious sewing, but, in a circle in a bottom corner of the sampler, there is a line: Be Ever Happy. 67.Visiting Granny on Sundays was a terrible experience because _. A. the writer was not so well raised as she was r
66、equired to pretend B. Granny continually warned the writer to be on her best behavior C. Granny was always describing the writers Sunday best D. the writer was always blamed for not behaving well68. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that the writer _. A. seldom spoke to her father in the way her friend
67、 did B. was never questioned about the rules of good manners C. never doubted the value of the strict rules at that time D. was worried that her friends father would be shocked69. The writer looked wistfully at the sampler, because_. A. it was embroidered by a relative. B. she wished she could sew h

70、f worldly temptations and material sources of modern-day enjoyment, people from all walks of life are still searching for the key to happiness. The question “How can we be happy?” seems to worry everyone. Indeed, in this day and age of scientific advancement and heavenly comforts, people still do no
71、t seem able to find a definite answer to the age-old problem of finding happiness. Happiness seems to be a very difficult thing. In Oxford, England, a noted psychology professor, Dr Michael Argyle, has succeeded in his quest for happiness. Over the past eight years, he has been researching the myste
72、rious antithesis（对立面）of depression, and has found convincing clues which he has embodied in his books. “The Psychology of Happiness”, and “The Social Psychology of Everyday Life”.Dr Argyle explains that happiness comprises three essential elements first, positive emotions 1ike joy; second, the absen
73、ce of negative emotions like anxiety; and lastly, the non-emotional element which means a general, more profound satisfaction with life.“The bigger source of happiness is a happy marriage,” Dr Argyle explains. “Job satisfaction,” he continues, “is another essential ingredient of happiness.” Do you f
74、eel you are doing a useful job? Do you feel you are achieving, or stand a chance of achieving your ambitions? If you honestly have positive answers to these questions, then eventually, you will be happy; if not, then you can still be happy by reducing your ambitions and lowering your expectations in
75、 order to achieve happiness. The fact is, the higher your ambitions and dreams are, the more difficult it will be for you to achieve your goals and therefore it will be harder to achieve satisfaction and happiness.Dr Argyle offers other ways people can find real happiness. Music, games or sports, a
76、drink with a friend, a simple gathering at tea, lunch or dinner with loved ones, or simply thinking of nice things, can give a person happiness, if only for a few hours. Surprisingly, television programmes, especially soap operas offer nothing but a bit of pleasurable moments. Often, television view
77、ers are so carried away emotionally that they feel depressed or emotionally tired. Non-soap prograrmmes, on the other hand, bore many viewers or sometimes deepen their misery. Dr Argyle further explains that wealth and worldly success do contribute to happiness. But in the ultimate analysis, Dr Argy
78、le says, it is the persons temperament（性情）that makes him happy or unhappy. “There are in our midst people who are naturally happy, and there are the sad ones.”Happiness is indeed mysterious.

If you want to let out your anger or pressure by breaking things, you just do. Now a school in Nanjing has built a “stress wall” to help
82、 students who feel unhappy due to heavy schoolwork or for other reasons. The leader of the school said the idea of a stress wall started when footprints were found on some newly painted walls and some school windows were broken. “These things happen because some students feel lots of pressure from t
83、heir studies or because they dont get along well with other students. When under stress, the body gets ready to either run or fight and becomes very nervous. Hitting the wall can help relax the body and take away stress,” he said. “Tests and homework make me sad,” said a junior girl. “I cant wait to
84、 hit the wall. It will help me a lot with my problems.” However, another girl student who wouldnt give her name said, “The wall wont help because it cant talk,” and she added. “I need to talk to someone when Im sad.”【写作内容】 1. 以约30个词概括这段短文内容； 2. 以约120个词就 “Should the stress wall be built” 主题发表你的看法，包括以

86、ents/ingredients Key/Ways/Approaches marriage satisfied easy/easier real/true successful bored/tired depends/relies作文：The passage conveys to us that to help students with stress, a school built a “stress wall” for students to relax, towards which students hold different opinions.Nowadays, students a
87、re under great pressure, mainly coming from their school work as well as peer relationship. As far as I am concerned, building a stress wall is not appropriate. For one thing, even if students punch the wall heavily, the true stress in the bottom of their hearts can not be let out. For another, this
88、 may lead to the results of solving a problem with violence of fixing a bad temper, which has bad effects on their health growth. In order to decrease our stress, here are my suggestions. To begin with, we can design more outdoor activities for students to get rid of the stress. Whats more, it is strongly suggested that we can take part in some sports events, which can surely help students out of stress and improve their health at the same time. All in all, only when we let out the stress properly can we live a happy school life!
