Books That Can Help Teens Manage Anxiety
Children experience anxiety differently from adults，and it also looks different in each
child.Fortunately，books can serve as tools for guiding children through the anxious thoughts and
feelings they may experience.The following are four books that can help children effectively
manage their anxiety.
The Healthy Coping Coloring Book and Journal by Pooky Knightsmith
This coloring book is specifically designed for children aged 8 to 14 and activities range from
coloring to journaling and drawing，all of which are developed to help children deal with troubling
situations.The different activities can be beneficial for ①self-expression.
Please Explain Anxiety to Me! by Laurie E．Zelinger and Jordan Zelinger
Written by psychologists，this story breaks down both the physical and emotional symptoms
of anxiety.The story compares the natural anxiety kids feel to dinosaurs fearing being threatened in
the wild.It explains that some anxiety (for example，a dinosaur’s anxiety about being eaten) can
be our body’s way of protecting us from threats.
Sea Otter Cove by Lori Lite
This is a book that teaches children how to use proper breathing techniques to calm down，
lower stress，and control anger.Through ②playful sea otters and other delightful characters in the
book，children get to experience belly breathing.This effective，self-calming technique is also

Lexi is just a little girl from Canada who found herself in a ①heart-stopping situation.It started
off as a normal car trip.Angela Shymanski，Lexi’s mom，was at the wheel，navigating the
②tricky roads of the Rockies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the car.An unexpected
animal ran into the road.Angela swerved(突然转向) to avoid the animal.Unfortunately，their car
was off the road，falling down a steep embankment(路堤)．The crash was ③nothing short of terrifying.Angela ended up with a broken back.She was
unconscious，and unable to help her babies.Meanwhile，baby Peter’s cries echoed in the
chaos.But Lexi，only five years old，didn’t freeze.Instead，she showed courage that would
leave many grown-ups in awe.
She quickly ④jumped into action.The little girl，without even shoes on her feet，wrestled
free from her seatbelt and climbed the 40-foot embankment.Once she reached the top，Lexi did
everything she could to ⑤flag down a passing car in order to get help for her mom and brother.
Lexi’s insistence finally paid off.A car stopped，and the people inside didn’t hesitate to
help her call for emergency services.When the paramedics(护理人员) arrived，they found Angela
in a severe state，and her heart had stopped.Thankfully，they managed to bring her back.
Lexi’s dad，reflecting on the incident，couldn’t help but be amazed by his daughter’s
bravery.He stressed how important it is for kids to be prepared for emergencies，shocked at how
Lexi remembered and acted on what she had been taught.It’s a powerful reminder of what kids
can do ⑥when push comes to shove.
And Lexi’s heroism didn’t go unnoticed.She was awarded a Bronze Medal for Bravery by
the police.But for the Shymanskis，the real prize was being back in each other’s arms，safe and
sound.

Would a person born blind，who has learned to distinguish objects by touch，be able to
recognize them purely by sight if he ①regained the ability to see? The question，known as
Molyneux’s problem，is about whether the human mind has a ②built-in concept of shapes that is
so ③inborn that a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored
vision.Alternatively，the concepts of shapes are not inborn but have to be learned by exploring anobject through sight，touch and other senses.
After their attempt to test it in blind children failed，Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University
of London and his team carried out another experiment on bumblebees.To test whether bumblebees
can form an internal representation of objects，they first trained the insects to distinguish globes
from cubes using a sugar reward.The bees were first trained in the light，where they could see but
not touch the objects.Then they were tested in the dark，where they could touch but not see the
items.The researchers found that the insects spent more time in contact with the shape they had
been trained to associate with the sugar reward，even though they had to rely on touch rather than
sight to distinguish the objects.
The researchers also did the opposite test with ④untrained bumblebees，first teaching them
with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light.Again，the bees were able to recognize
the shape associated with the sugar reward，though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in
the test.In short，bees have solved Molyneux’s problem because the fact suggests that they can
⑤picture object features and access them through sight or touch.
However ， some experts express their warnings against the result.Jonathan Birch ， a
philosopher of science，cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual
and tactile(触觉) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in their nests.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过大黄蜂实验研究莫利纽克斯问题，即一
个天生失明但通过触摸学会区分物体的人在恢复视力后是否能够通过视觉来识别物体。
8．What is Molyneux’s problem about?
A．Whether mankind’s sense of touch outweighs sight.
B．Whether mankind’s idea of shape is inborn or learned.
C．Whether blind people can identify the shape of an item.
D．Whether the blind can regain their sense of touch after recovery.
答案 B

Like many people over the past few years，I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my
main means of reading literature.I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my
eyes are resting.My ①consumption of new books has doubled as a result—but a recent paper makes
me wonder if this will come at the price of my ②comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel，both at the University of Chicago，
and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing.According to this view，we
have two ways of assessing information.System 1 is intuitive(直觉的)，relying on natural ability
and feeling.It is quick，but likely exposed to ③misinformation.System 2 is ④analytical involving
the use of logic reasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through
the material step by step.For decades，psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two
systems a person is using.As one example，consider the following question：How many animals
of each kind did Moses take on the Ark(方舟)？If you answered two，you were probably only
considering the core of the question，which is System 1 thinking.To get to the right answer—
zero，you need to think more carefully about the wording，which would allow you to remember it
was Noah who built the Ark，not Moses.That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form—seeing
vs.hearing—of the information would make a difference.They found that it did：when answering
these kinds of simple questions，participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences
were spoken out loud，rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that
needs logical study.For this reason，I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than
my ears.But I won’t stop listening to novels.I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions
while my critical mind takes a break.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕作者使用有声书作为阅读方式的经历和体验展
开，并引入了一项关于信息处理方式的研究，以此为基础探讨了过于依赖感觉对信息处理产
生的影响。
12．What does the author think of listening to audiobooks?
A．It is economical.
B．It is demanding.
C．It is time-consuming.
D．It is relaxing.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。根据第一段中“Like many people over the past few years，I have found
myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature.I find it far more comfortable
to ‘read with my ears’ while my eyes are resting.”以及最后一段中“But I won’t stop
listening to novels.I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind
takes a break.”可知，作者认为听有声读物会让人放松。故选D。
13．Which of the following best describes System 2 model?
A．Relatively reliable.
B．Fully automatic.
C．Question-centered.
D．Emotion-involved.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“System 2 is analytical involving the use of logicreasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through the material
step by step.”和第三段的“To get to the right answer...That is the kind of analytical process.”可
推知，System 2模式相对可靠。故选A。
14．Why is the Ark mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To present a fact.
B．To illustrate a view.
C．To introduce a topic.
D．To draw a conclusion.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As one example...How many animals of each kind did
Moses take on the Ark(方舟)？If you answered two...which is System 1 thinking.To get to the right
answer—zero，you need to think more carefully about the wording...That is the kind of analytical
process.”可知，作者提到方舟是为了举例说明一个观点，即 System 1和System 2在处理信
息时的不同方式。故选B。
15．What does the author intend to tell us?
A．Listening to books comes at a price.
B．Reading non-fiction books benefits.
C．Critical thinking is a must in reading.
D．Ways of processing information differ.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，尽管听书让作者增加了阅读量，但研究结果显示，
听书在处理某些信息时可能不如阅读书面材料准确。特别是对于那些需要逻辑研究的信息，
听书可能导致更多的错误。因此，作者认为听书是有代价的，特别是在理解方面。故选A。
语境猜词
①consumption(派)＝consume＋ption n．消耗量
②comprehension(派)＝comprehend＋sion n．理解力
③misinformation(派)＝mis＋information n．错误信息
④analytical(派)＝analyse＋tical adj . 分析性的
Ⅱ.七选五阅读(每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

No matter how friendly your tone is or how ①honey-sweet you are in a conversation，when
you use one of these two words (or both) in your sentences，the message to your conversation
companion is “You are wrong”． 1 They are “no” and “but”．
These words don’t say，“Let’s discuss this” or “I’d love to hear what you thinkabout this” to people.They say，“You are wrong and I am right.” If your conversation
companion is also eager to win at any cost，you will have a potential battle on your hands.The
result？ 2
Are you interested in a little test to see how competitive your co-workers are? Try this.For one
week，keep a ②scorecard of how many times each person uses “no” or “but”． 3
And，if you ③dig a little deeper，you’ll see patterns emerge.For instance，some people use
these words to gain power.You’ll see how much people hate it，consciously or not，and how it
stifles(抑制) rather than opens up discussions.
4 Practically without even thinking，I keep count of their use of these two little
words.It’s such an important indicator! If the numbers pile up in an initial meeting with a client，
I’ll interrupt him or her and say，“We’ve been talking for almost an hour now，and do you
realize that you have responded 17 times with either ‘no’ or ‘but’？” This is the moment
when a serious talk about changing behavior begins.
If this is your interpersonal challenge，you can do this little test for yourself just as easily as
you can to judge your co-workers.Stop trying to defend your position and start ④monitoring how
many times you begin remarks with “no” or “but”． 5 For example，“That’s
true，but...”．Another expression is “Yes，but...”．
A．I use this technique with my clients.
B．Why do people like to say these two words?
C．What are these conversation stopping words?
D．Nothing more can happen that will be productive.
E．It’s human nature to like being accepted and recognized.
F．You will be shocked at how frequently these words are used.
G．Pay close attention to when you use these words in sentences.
语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过分享个人经历，作者建议谈话时使用“no”和
“but”这两个词的时候一定要多加注意。
1．答案 C
解析 上文提出了谈话中否定别人的两个词，下文具体给出了这两个词是什么。所以空处承
上启下，引出这两个词。C项“What are these conversation stopping words? (这些终止谈话的
词是什么？)”符合语境。故选C。
2．答案 D
解析 根据上文“如果你的谈话对象也渴望不惜任何代价赢得胜利，你将面临一场潜在的战
斗。结果呢？”可知，空处应该回答问题，D 项“Nothing more can happen that will be
productive.(不会再发生任何有成效的事情了)”符合语境。故选D。
3．答案 F解析 根据上文“For one week，keep a scorecard of how many times each person uses
‘no’or‘but’．”可知，上文建议我们记录一下大家说这两个词的次数。F项“You will
be shocked at how frequently these words are used.(你会对这些词的使用频率感到震惊)”承接
上文，说明记录的结果，符合语境，F 项中的 how frequently 呼应上文中的 how many
times。故选F。
4．答案 A
解析 下文作者讲述自己和客户会谈时记录对方使用“no”和“but”这两个词的次数，空
处引出下文。由此可知，A项“I use this technique with my clients.(我对我的客户使用这个技
巧)”符合
语境，下文中的their呼应A项中的clients，下文也再次提到a client。故选A。
5．答案 G
解析 根据上文可知，此处作者建议读者自己也要去注意使用这两个词的次数。由此可知，
G项“Pay close attention to when you use these words in sentences.(要特别注意你是在什么时候
使用的这些词)”符合语境。故选G。
语境猜词
①honey-sweet(合)＝honey＋sweet adj . 甜美的
②scorecard(合)＝score＋card n．记分卡
