25、eks- when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster-often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad- mood buster. A person whos in a bad mood has l
26、ow energy and high tension, taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences weve
27、had.Give yourself a pep talkStop and listen to whats on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper-the pessimistic messages youve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (I still dont have a job. vs I have two interviews next wee
28、k.)Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful modifiers. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but arent. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distres
29、s is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize youre not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.Avoid things that wont improve your moodTV may not help much: You need to increase your energ
30、y level and stimulate your mind-something that the TV show Neighbors wont do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and p
31、asta(意大利面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.56. We learn from the text that it might help us to get rid of a bad mood _A. to do nothing about it B. to take a long walk on the beach C. to do some exercises with light music D. to talk about it to neighbors57. Why is it s
32、uggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?A. It is not complicated to do so. B. It is an area which can be easily controlled.C. It helps beat a bad mood. D.

33、s you sitting without moving C. it reminds you of eating and drinking D. it produces a calming effect 59. This text most probably appears in _. A. a book on physical exercises B. a doctors handbook C. a notice D. a magazineBMass MediaEvery day, we are all influenced by the mass media, although some
34、critics of the media claim that these means of communication are used mainly to control our thinking and get us to buy products that we dont need, the media also contribute to keeping people informed. In other words, while dangers do exist, the benefits of the media far outweigh（超过） the disadvantage
35、s. Most of the messages brought to viewers, listeners, and readers and designed either to inform or to entertain, and neither of these goals can be considered dangerous or harmful.If consumers of the media could be taught at an early age to examine messages critically, i.e., to think carefully about
36、 what is being communicated, they would be able to take advantage of the information and enjoy the entertainment without being hurt by it. The key to critical thinking is recognizing the purposes of the news or scriptwriters, the advertisers, and so on. Are both sides of an issue being presented? Is
37、 the amount of violence and killing shown necessary to the point of a story? Have enough facts about a product being advertised been presented?Besides, in a country with a democratic (民主的) form of government, the people can be kept informed by the mass media. To be able to express their views and vo
38、te intelligently, citizens need the opportunity to hear news, opinions, and public affairs programming. Information about current events is presented in-depth on publicly funded TV channels and radio stations as well as in newspapers. In addition, the public broadcasting media can help viewers and l
39、isteners to complete or further their education.The media also give people the information they need in their daily lives and the media can be a valuable means of educating the public. Even though the media can be misused, most of their effects are positive.60. The main point the writer tries to mak
40、e in this text is that A. advertising is harmful when it presents incorrect informationB. the positive effects of the mass media outweigh the negative onesC. people should learn to take advantage of the medias benefitsD.TV is more useful as a means of entertainment than as a means of providing infor
41、mation61. What should consumers of the mass media be taught at an early age?A. To bring their imagination into full play when watching programs of low quality.B. To buy products advertised so that the demand increases.C. To turn off the TV set when hurt by bad programs.D. To think critically about t
42、he messages brought to them.62. We can learn from paragraph 3 that citizens will be in a better position to express their view and make their choices if they are .A. highly educated through TV and radio B. well protected by the governmentC. highly paid by the employers D. well informed by the media
43、63. The underlined phrase in-depth in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by_.A. thoroughly B. partly C. relatively D. simplyCThe classical study of family size and IQ was conducted in the Netherlands. It was based on the military examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the
44、 brightest subjects came from the smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in .a family of two was usually brighter than the last child in a family.The effects of family size on intelligence may be explained by what a house full of chi
45、ldren does to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases the amount of parental attention he or she receives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless
46、 children is more likely to ask them to play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child interacts (交往) with an adult alone, the child learns more and therefore intelligence is increased . Researchers have also found that parents often expect more from their firstborn , which motivates
47、 (激发) such children to seek a higher standard.Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data need to be examined more closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industrialized nations most large families come from lower socio-economic ba
48、ckgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order, may be influencing intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations (基因变异) within families that also explain the cause of differences.If firstborns have advantages in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that t
49、hey may be more conforming (墨守成规) and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings (brothers and sisters ). Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is clear that such actors as birth order, the order in which boys and girls are born into a family, the number of years that s
50、eparate siblings probably have an effect on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships.64. The underlined word subjects in the first paragraph means _.A. branches of knowledgeB. persons chosen to be studied in experimentsC. any member of a state except the top ruler D. so
51、mething to be considered65. Psychologists are divided with regard to (关于) their opinions toward_. A. the way in which the data are explainedB. the advantages of firstborns in the area of IQC. the planned size of familiesD. the factors influencing intelligence66. Why are firstborns encouraged to seek
52、 a higher standard ?A. They are more obedient (服从) and have poorer social skills.B. Their parents spend less time with other children.C. They obtain more attention from their parents.D. Their parents expect more from them.67. The best title for this passage would be_.A. Family Size and IQ B. The Pre
53、ference of Boys to GirlsC. The Development of Intelligence D. Factors Influencing IQDFor a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets c
54、osting as much as $145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in peoples mind: rich, well-dressed and old.But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, th
55、e young and not-so-rich.Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits or old-styled theatre. And because young people dont or wont come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances
56、 in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.The Houston Grand Operas choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions of child friendly operas. This summers production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, produ
57、cers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists Training Program.68. Which is th
58、e main idea of this passage?A. Opera is famous for its long historyB. Opera is only performed for rich peopleC. Young people arent interested in operaD. Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive69. The underlined phrase “loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes” means .A. breaking up th
59、e old rules B. changing the formal suitsC. making the audience at ease D. advertising themselves70. Opera companies prefer to perform short versions because .A. it is hard to find long versions B. short versions are easy to performC. they can perform in public libraries D. they can make more people
60、come to opera71. From the passage we can infer that .A. the tickets for operas are very expensive B. operas are performed in a difficult languageC. operas are not so popular an art form todayD. students enjoy performing operas very muchEDo you want to have a friend whom you could tell everything to,
61、 like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or just cant understand what you are going through?Anne Frank chose the first kind. She lived in Amsterdam during World War II. Her family was Jewish(犹太人)so they had to hide, or they would be caught by t
62、he German soldiers. She and her family hid away for two years before they were discovered. During this time the only true friend was her diary, which she called Kitty.In a diary dated on Thursday 15, June, 1944, she wrote, “ Dear Kitty, I wonder if it is because I havent been able to be outdoors for
63、 so long that Ive grown so mad about everything to do with nature.
