First, when you have negative 2 , don’t shut yourself away alone. Talk to someone you trust, like
your parents, teachers, or friends. For example, if a friend says something hurtful, don’t get angry at once. Try to
put yourself in their shoes and understand why they 3 that way. Maybe it wasn’t on purpose. If it’s their
4 , forgive them and advise them gently. 5 others not only helps reduce your anger by half but also
makes you a kind person. And if you were wrong, 6 sincerely.
Second, always look on the bright side. Even when things seem bad, there’s usually something good. For

isn’t important. What you learned from the experience 8 .
9 , stay active and do things you love. When you enter a competition or draw a picture, you can
forget your worries. If you keep in low spirits, think about your achievements. Your parents are always proud of
you, 1 0 you’re not perfect.

I know a Catherine who is smart, educated and interesting. But I avoid her because she never 1
complaining(抱怨)! For years, I fought against my feelings, because I really like and admire her, but I’ve found I
just can’t be her friend. Her world is full of “buts…”. The trip would have been nice, but the drive was too long.
The food was good, but the light of the restaurant was too 2 . The hotel was too hot, the bed hurt her
back and the room service was too slow. Her complaints were 3 changing me. Months ago my best
friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine 4 she just became really angry. “Either
break up with her, or leave me alone,” she shouted at me “I’m tired of 5 your complaining.” Her
honesty surprised me, and I began to keep myself away from Catherine. Later, I did 6 her.
Now I try to remain happy and positive about life, and find friends of the same. There’s been scientific
research lately. It shows that people who find 7 to be thankful for their life are actually happier, and I
believe that is true. Endless complaining seems to control your life if you let it come into your brain. And too
much complaining will actually make your life 8 .
Some people take “gratitude (感激之情) walks” every day, where they 9 their life in a positive
way. By developing a grateful attitude you can be turned away from what’s troubling you, and 1 0
what makes you happy. Then you will have a beautiful life.

8．A．busier B．longer C．worse D．happier

I was never a big fan of rain and I always hated wet roads. However, one day, while I was climbing
Whitestone Mountain, I had a different feeling about rain.
It was unpleasant at first. The blue sky suddenly turned dark, and I just knew that my trip to Whitestone
Mountain would be put off when the raindrops fell on my face. As I had expected, the weather became so awful
that all the tourists stopped on the way up or down the mountain.
When I was thinking about how unlucky everyone was, a voice suddenly appeared behind me. “Isn’t it a
special experience?” a girl said. I was surprised by this question. “How can such terrible weather be special?” I
thought.
“It hasn’t rained here for several days,” she explained, “which means the heavy rain on the mountain isonly enjoyed by a few people. Luckily, they are us. Try to feel it, and you will find that the air is so fresh.”
Her words were like the sun shining straight into my heart. I noticed how different and pretty everything
was in the rain. I kept climbing. This time I didn’t pay attention to the rain itself but to the special scenery along
the way. It was better than what I had thought it would be.
That experience changed my opinion about rain forever. And now rain is considered a gift in my life. That
girl’s words are still in my mind. They remind me to keep positive in my life.

C．He took it as a gift in his life. D．He had a different feeling about it.

A．Hopeful. B．Serious. C．Careful. D．Brave.
3．How did the writer’s feelings change in the story?

①There is a famous expression in English “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression is actually
about a feeling of stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing. Why not try to relax?
“Stress” means pressure. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress
results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
②There are plenty of physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can make the heart beat faster
or miss beats, and can also cause high blood pressure. Stress can cause a person to breathe too fast and can also
result in stomach hurts and digesting problems. These are a few examples of illnesses resulting from stress.
③Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People who have too much stress often feel worried and tired.
When people are under stress, they often overreact (反应过度) to little problems. For example, a normally gentle
parent under a lot of stress at work may shout at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make peopleangry or nervous easily.
④Long-term stress can lead to different kinds of serious mental illnesses. Depression (抑郁), a terrible
feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Being unable to sleep
well are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress continues, then one’s mental
health is at risk.
⑤It is clear that stress is a serious problem. It has a great influence on the health and our feeling. So, cut
down stress, stop the world and rest for a while.

Bad days happen to many of us. Something makes us sad, angry, frustrated or disappointed. But you still
have to get up and go to work. Everything others say to you sounds stupid. Everyone seems to annoy (使烦恼)
you. Luckily, you can do something about it. Here are some ways to turn around a bad day.
▲ It is not that hard. If you’re mad, be mad. If you’re sad, be sad. This does not give you license to be
rude and unpleasant to others. It just means that you need to recognize and accept your bad mood to be able to do
something.
Tell others. You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask (面具). But you’re
fooling nobody. So the best thing to do is to tell the people you work closely with. For example, you can just tell
them, “Listen, I’m in a really bad mood today. I’m not sure why, but it has nothing to do with you. If I make you
angry, I apologize in advance.”
Remember the good. Spend a few moments to try thinking of at least one or two things that aren’t all bad.
This could be something you look forward to, a person you like at work, or a nice thing that happened recently.
Take some quiet time. Take a walk in your lunch break. Sit and work somewhere quiet. Take a longbathroom break. Consider going home early or taking the day off.

A．Say no to the bad mood. B．Accept your bad mood.

B．Tell others that you are all OK.
C．Stop working and take a walk outside.
D．Have some delicious food at lunch time.
