Having one of those days – or weeks – 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 off

Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low 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 out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.

◇Give yourself a pep talk

Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. ( “I still don’t have a job.” Vs “I have two interviews next week.”)

◇Reduce your stress

Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress 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 you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

◇Avoid things that won’t improve your mood.

TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind – something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t 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 pasta(面食),produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.

1.Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?

A.Doing nothing about it.                B.Exercising and enjoying music.

C.Writing down negative thoughts.          D.Talking about it with neighbors.

2.Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?

A.It helps remove bad mood.     B.It brings us a new technique.

C.It is not complicated to do so.      D.It is an area to be easily controlled.

3.TV may not improve your mood because it     .

A.shows what happens around you             B.does not energize you

C.reminds you of eating and drinking      D.produces a calming effect

4.Which would be the best title for this passage?

A.Energy Level and Stress       B.How to Beat a Bad Mood

C.Bad Mood and Our Life        D.How to Control Your Feeling.

 

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.

I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.

Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(溅出) the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.

Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔) up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.

I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.

Americans are thinking about national education standards recently developed by teachers and other education experts. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.

  The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to each state.

Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.

Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act.

  Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.

  Forty--eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states refuse to accept the idea. Critics say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal control.

  Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify (取得资格) for some federal grant money.

1.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Local Control of Education Standards out of Date

B.American National Education Standards under Consideration

C.Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad.

D.Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States

2.Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today?

A.Because local standards are limited.

B.Because it is required by the federal government.

C.Because people today moves among states more often than before.

D.Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country.

3.Some people are against the nationa1 education standards because__________

A.the standards are higher than those of each state

B.they are not yet prepared for the new standards

C.the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence

D.they don't want the federal government to train their teachers

4.If a state agrees to accept the national standards, it will probably get ________.

A.more students                         B.advice on how to improve teaching

C.better textbooks                        D.money from the federal government

 

阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

   The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented.Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others.So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

   In fact’the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people,just ordinary people acting carelessly,you might say But carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others.A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽).

   Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents are caused due to the psychological condition of the driver.Emotional upsets can s1ow drivers judgment and reactions,and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident.The experts warn that it is important for every driver to make all effort to keep one’s emotions under conlro1.

   Yet drivers are not the only people to blame for road accidents.Street walkers regularly break traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they need not follow the basic rules of the road.
