   They were about to  27  a good restaurant that evening when the boss stopped suddenly, looking __28__ at the road. Arlene wondered if she was supposed to __29__ him. There was nothing on the 30 except a penny.

  The boss reached down and  31  the penny. He smiled, and then put it in his __32__as if he had found a great treasure. Why would a man like this pick up a single __33__? Why would he even take the time to __34__?

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 (悲观的) 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 (想象), 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 against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options(选择权) 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 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. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.  

We learn from the text that it might help rid us 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 it to neighbours

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

A. It is not complicated to do so.

B. It is an area to be easily controlled.

C. It helps beat a bad mood.              

D. It brings us a new technique.

TV may not improve your mood because ________.

A. it sometimes shows what happens around you

B. it keeps you stay unmoved

C. it reminds you of eating and drinking

D. it produces a calming effect

This text most probably appears in ________.

A. a book on physical exercises            B. a doctor’s handbook

C. a notice                                    D. a magazine
