You
want
to
be
happy,
who
doesn
’
t?
However,
whether
you
procrastinate
(
拖延
),
feed
negative
self-talk,
or
don
’
t rest your
mind, you lower your potential to create
happiness.
Procrastination
You
aren
’
t
in
deadly
danger
if
you
procrastinate,
but
your
system
doesn
’
t
always
take
this
information
on
board. You still react as though you
are anxious and produce stress chemicals.
36
Your ability to see the big
picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate.
Therefore, you don
’
t see
as much joy.
Negative self-talk
37
Taking
notice
of
what
goes
on
in
your
head
and
putting
positive
change
in
action
makes
negative
self-talk useful.
Nevertheless, most people
don
’
t recognize negative
self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it
grows
out of control.
38
Your mind contains an
incredible amount of information and is more
powerful than any computer many times
over. However, if you give it too many
tasks, you shut out peace of mind.
39
Thought-overload
results
in
physical
symptoms,
like
a
racing
heart
and
shortness
of
breath.
Additionally,
you
might
have
sleeplessness,
digestive
problems
and
other
symptoms
of
stress
that
reduce
your
happiness.
If you want to
increase the odds of being happy,
don
’
t procrastinate.
40
Similarly,
don
’
t overload your
mind, give it a rest and you will soon
notice you are happier.
A
．
Not resting
your mind.
B
．
Using your
brain regularly.
C
．
It is a human
weakness to put things off.
D
．
At the same
time, don
’
t feed negative
self-talk.
E
．
Self-talk can
tell you how healthy you are emotionally.
F
．
Additionally,
as your system is nervous physically, your mind
also closes off a little.
G
．
Thinking about
many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.

Americans are obse
ssed
(
着迷的
)
< br> with telling their life stories. This phenomenon isn
’
t simply the
product of
the
technological
world.
36
People
are
eager
to
tell
stories
and
are
fascinated
by
those
of
others.
Even
at
preschool,
“
sharing
time
”
is a common
Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will
sit in a circle and take
1
/
6
turns telling a story about
something they did over the weekend.
37
In
many
Asian
countries,
talking
about
and
drawing
attention
to
oneself
can
be
seen
as
socially
inappropriate.
People are often unwilling to share their life
stories and do not encourage others to do so. But
there
are also times Asians do share
their stories.
38
Asians believe that a person is largely
decided by his or her
social status and
relationships, leaving little reason to broadcast
detailed and revealing personal stories to
establish
a unique self.
Ironically, the more unique Americans
strive to be, the greater their need to feel
connected with others. In their
culture
of
individuality,
relationships
are
highly
mobile
and
can
be
easily
formed
or
dissolv
ed
(
破裂
)
.
Sharing
personal
stories
brings
them
closer
through
the
exchange
of
thoughts,
feelings
and
desires.
39
But
this
motivation
is
not
nearly
as
strong
among
Asians,
for
whom
social
relations
are
generally
unconditional,
obligatory
(
义不容辞的
)
and stable, and therefore
require little maintenance
(
维
护
)
.
40
American parents encourage children to
share their stories and create opportunities to
re-experience
the past with children.
Asian parents, by contrast, engage their children
in telling personal stories less frequently.
When they do talk about a
child
’
s experiences, they
are not particularly concerned with parent-child
bonding but
tend to focus on
disciplining the child.
A
．
They tend to
focus more on outer facts than personal details.
B
．
It helps them
shape their
“
selves
”
and makes them who they are.
C
．
Interestingly,
this obsession is not necessarily shared in other
cultures.
D
．
Talking about
personal stories is to cheer people on with
positive feelings.
E
．
It connects
them like many different points, holding their
society together.
F
．
Sharing
personal stories is also an essential part in
everyday conversations.
G
．
Parents in
America and Asia differ in how they share memories
with children.

届高三上学期第二次联考】
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone knows
that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are
fashionable and the Germans are serious.
Are these just stereotypes
(<
/p>
刻板印象
)
or is there
really such a thing as national character? And if
there is, can it
affect how a nation
succeed or fail?
At least one group of
people is certain that it can. A recent survey of
the top 500 entrepreneurs
(
企业
家
)
in the
UK
found that 70% felt that their efforts were not
appreciated by the British public. Britain is
hostile
(
敌意的
)
to
success, they said. It
has a culture of jealousy
(
嫉妒
)
.
36
Jealousy is sometimes known as the
“
green-
eyed
”
monster and
the UK is its home.
Scientists at
Warwich University in the UK recently tested this
idea. They gathered a group of people together
and gave each an imaginary amount of
money.
37
Those given a
little were given the chance to destroy the
large amount of money given to
others
—
but at the cost of
losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested
agreed
to do this.
38
But there is also opposite evidence.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development
2
/
6
recently
reported
that
the
UK
is
now
the
world's
fourth
largest
economy.
That
is
not
bad
for
people
who
are
supposed
to
hate
success.
People
in
the
UK
also
work
longer
hours
than
anyone
else
in
Europe.
So
the
British
people are not lazy,
either.
“
It
is
not
really
success
that
the
British
dislike
”
,
says
Carey
Cooper,
a
professor
of
management
at
the
University of Manchester Institute of
Science and Technology.
“
It
’
s
people using their success in a way that seems
proud or unfair or which separates them
from their roots.
”
39
They
set
out
to
do
things
in
their
way.
They
work
long
hours.
By
their
own
efforts
they
become
millionaires.
40
It hardly seems worth following their
example. If they were more friendly, people would
like
them more. And more people want to
be like them.
A
．
This seems to
prove that the entrepreneurs were right to
complain.
B
．
The
one who owns most money in the end is the winner.
C
．
As a result,
the survey said, entrepreneurs were
“
unloved, unwanted and
misunderstood.
”
D
．
It is not true
that British people are born jealous of others`
success.
E
．
Some
were given a little, others a great deal.
F
．
But instead of
being happy they complain that nobody loves them.
G
．
Perhaps it is
the entrepreneurs who are the problem.

根据短文内容，从短文后的
选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Shoulder
pain
is
common.
The
shoulder
has
the
most
range
of
movement
of
any
part
in
the
body.
36
Furthermore,
shoulder
pain
sometimes
comes
from
other
areas
of
the
body.
Here
are
some
tips
to
help
reduce
shoulder pain.
37
Often, the root cause of
shoulder pain is simply your overdoing something.
If your problem is work
related,
change
to
a
different
activity.
If
the
shoulder
pain
is
exercise-
related,
then you
may
be
working
out
too
aggressively or with bad
form-turn to a personal trainer for help.
Ice your shoulder. The application of
ice is useful for almost all acute Injuries.
38
Apply ice for 10~15
minutes every hour, then reduce the
frequency as the pain and swelling become less
strong.
Do some light
shoulder stretches
(
拉伸
)
. While standing or sitting, reach
around the front of your body and
seize
the opposite elbow
(
肘
< br>)
.
39
Reach behind your back towards your
shoulder and hold it with your other
hand. Slowly pull on the hand with the
painful shoulder until you feel a stretch.
See
your
doctor.
If
your
shoulder
pain
is
especially
severe,
and
long-lasting,
what
else
can
you
do?
40
Your doctor will discuss a treatment
plan according to your pain.
A
．
Seek medical
help.
B
．
Rest your
shoulder.
C
．
Build
shoulder strength.
D
．
Consider
surgery if necessary.
E
．
That's why it's
so likely to suffer from injury.
