If you feel depressed, it's best to do something about it―depression doesn't just go away on its owts. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counsellor, here are four things you can do to feel better.

Exercise. Take a 15-to 30-minute walk every day―or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. 5 Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.

Cherish yourself with good nutrition. Depression can af?fect appetite. One person may not feel like eating at all， but another might overeat. If depression has affected your eating, you'll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food.

  6 So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).

Identify troubles. 7 When you know what's got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. Talk?ing is a way to release the feelings and to receive some under?standing. If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.

 8 Depression affects a person's thoughts making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more.  Consider your strengths ? gifts ， or blessings. Most of all, don't forget to be patient with your?self. 9

A. Look on the bright side.

B. Take action to solve problems.

C. But make yourself do it anyway.

D. Depression takes time to heal.

E. Proper nutrition can influence a person's mood and ener?gy.

F. With depression, a person's creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.

G. Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.

I.阅读理解[2015 •江西新余一中高三第三次模拟]

  A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offer?ing each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and de?pendable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的）.

Actually ， the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotion?al intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink, a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence ： when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ele?ments for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20 % ； the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

1. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that

 A.     the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiments

B.     emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence

C.     candy can be used to measure a person's emotional in?telligence

D.     the ability of self-control plays a role in personal suc?cess

2. Which of the following is TRUE about EQ and IQ accord?ing to the text?

A. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.

C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.

D. There is no link between EQ and IQ.

 3. The underlined word " upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means "_________ ".

A. optimistic                           B. floating

C.  excited                             D. kind

4. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

 A. Information about famous people with high EQ.

B. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.

C. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.

Happy April Fool's Day

In celebration of the day, we have put together a list of some of the greatest hoaxes in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent people who are ready to believe them.

INSTANT COLOUR TV

In 1962 there was only one TV channel inSweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's tech?nical expert? Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display colour reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favourite shows in colour. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people were taken in. Actual colour TV transmission only started to ap?pear in Sweden on April 1， 1970.

SAN SERRIFFE

In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement (增刊)in honour of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this un?known nation. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the is?land was made up.

Eating different coloured foods can keep you healthy, as well as change your mood and behaviour. Here is a list of colours, which can change your life.

Blue/Purple

Blue is considered to be peaceful and calm and it has the same effect on our health. The blue/purple colour in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are an?tioxidants (抗氧化剂)that are particularly heart-healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Ex?amination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.

A food and health expert says that blue and purple colour foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.

Foods that contain blue and purple colours are: red?dish eggplant (especially the skin) , blueberries, black?berries, purple grapes, etc.

Green

We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothio-cyanates, which help resist cancer.

Dr Ashok Agarwal ， a food and nutrition specialist ， explains ,"They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K， as well as carotene (胡萝卜素).Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure.，，

Foods that contain the green colour are ： broccoli ， cab?bages ,cucumbers, etc.

Red

Lycopene (番茄红素)in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protec?tion against heart attacks.

Dr Smith says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associ?ated with greater health benefits as compared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of the produce.，，

Foods that contain the red colour are: tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.

Orange

The orange foods are also rich in carotene, which is a particularly good antioxidant.  These foods are com?monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vi?tamin A.

Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in pre?venting cancer, particularly the lung and stomach canc?er. Foods that contain the orange colour are- carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.
