题目内容

A friend of mine was in low spirits one day. He usually dealt with this state of mind by avoiding people until the mood passed. But on that day Fred had an important meeting with his boss, so he decided to put on a false front. During the meeting Fred smiled, joked and played the part of a happy, good-natured person. To his surprise, he soon discovered he was no longer depressed. 

Without realizing it, Fred chanced to find an important new principle of psychological research: acting a part can help us feel the way we want to feel — more self-assured in a trying situation, more cheerful when things go wrong.

How can you put this principle to work in your own life? There’s more involved than simply mimicking a few expressions. You have to be systematic about it. Here’s how:

Smile to cheer yourself up.

Relax to reduce anxiety or fear.

Look your best to increase your self-confidence.

Keep cool in a crisis.

Using our bodies and actions to change the way we feel can be a useful tool in helping us through life’s difficult times. As novelist George Eliot wrote more than a century ago, “Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.” People who remember that — and act upon it — can only be richer and happier for the experience.

1.In paragraph 1 the underlined phrase “to put on a false front” means ______.

A.to wear a wrong coat

B.to act a part unsuccessfully

C.to show a pretended happy appearance

D.to put on airs

2.According to Paragraph 1, Fred ______before the meeting.

A.had very few spirits

B.had many spirits

C.was in bad mood

D.was in good mood

3.The underlined phrase mimicking in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.

A.learning quickly

B.making faces

C.behaving well

D.imitating others

4.In the last paragraph, the quotation “Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds” may show that ______.

A.actions speak louder than words

B.the more we do, the happier we are

C.our feeling cannot change our behavior

D.actions are very important for us to beat bad moods for good

My friend Karen and I were always together. Karen was only a few months older than I. I always thought she was so beautiful, with long hair and blue eyes. I loved Karen so much because she liked me for being the way I was. I could be myself and share my secrets with her and I never felt like I was being judged.

We had so much fun and were really quite silly. One time I asked my mom to make us the same dresses so we could pretend we were twins.

We continued as best friends throughout grade school. One day, Karen was going to another friend’s place and asked me to come along, but I couldn’t go because I had a babysitting job that afternoon. We walked together to the Becker’s home where I was to babysit and then she continued on her way without me. We had agreed that I would meet her at the corner when she returned and I finished my job.

At four o’clock I rushed to the corner so I wouldn’t be late for meeting Karen. Just as I arrived at the corner, I saw Karen crossing the street. In a second it happened. I saw Karen’s body fly up in the sky. A car had hit her!

Karen was on life support for a week before it was decided that they would allow her to go in peace. Karen’s parents wanted to donate her organs(器官)to the hospital, but there was nothing left healthy enough to be used because she was hit so hard.

I have never got so close to another person since Karen died. I do miss her! Do you cherish(珍惜)your friends? If you don’t, please do, as you may lose them one day.
