How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that 【5】 (educate) somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.

Musical knowledge was 【6】 matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important 【7】 (subject) to study, ranking music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.

The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others don’t. Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?

In the study, the researchers focused on self-compassion (自我同情) as a potential factor in why some people have an easier lime leaving their regrets behind them.

400 people attended an experiment. First, they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadn’t done; the other half wrote something they didn’t do but wish they had. Then, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: self compassion, self-esteem and a control group. The self-esteem group was asked to respond by “talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities”.

The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret. Then, they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness, acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.

They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance, forgiveness and personal improvement, compared with the control group and the self esteem group. In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret. Rather, being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference, the researchers found.

It’s possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong, so they can make a better choice in the future, Zhang told Live Science. Self-compassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.

The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began. The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.

【1】What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 7 mean?

A. Handle B. Forget.

C. Ignore D. Show.

【2】What were the students in the self-esteem group asked to do?

A. Think of a way out. B. Write about their regrets.

C. Record their favorite hobbies. D. Treat their regrets in positive ways.

【3】Why were the participants asked about their good qualities?

A. To cover up their regrets.

B. To see if they have weaknesses.

C. To see if they have self compassion.

D. To help them feel better about their regrets.

【4】What was the aim of mentioning the researchers’ study on breast cancer patients?

A. To show the method of the research.

B. To show the value of the acceptance.

C. To show the truth of people’s feeling.

D. To show the difficulty of the research.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day!” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version(版本) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
（1）How does the author understand Maxie's word?
A.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
B.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author's security (安全).
（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The salesgirl is rude.
B.The salesgirl is bored.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine(惯例).
（3）By saying “Have a nice day.” a stranger may ________.
A.express respect to you
B.give his blessing to you
C.try to be friendly to you
D.share his pleasure with you
（4）What is the best title of the passage?
A.Have a nice day—a meaningless expression
B.Have a nice day—a Heart-warming Greeting
C.Have a nice day—a Social Custom
D.Have a nice day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation

Former First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the event, now in its fifth year and part of her Let’s Move! More than 1,200 kids throughout America entered the challenge, were encouraged to be creative and use ingredients (原料) grown in their home states, or communities. Recipes had to represent each of the food groups by including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. The 56 winners were treated to a meal featuring some of their own creations.

The 9-year-old from American Samoa said she was “very excited” to be attending the event. “Winning this trip to the White House makes me think of my favorite quote from Walt Disney: ‘If you can dream it, you can do it,’” she said.

Famous cooks Rachaels Ray and Tanya Steel, editorial director of Clean Plates Omnimedia, a media company focusing on health and wellness food culture, were also in attendance. Michelle recognized them as driving forces in making the Kids’ State Dinner a reality several years ago. Ray and Steel posed for pictures with the young cooks.

Following the meal, the crowd was treated to performances by the cast of Walt Disney World Resort’s The Jungle Book. The 56 winners ended their visit with a tour of the White House Kitchen Garden.
