    Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood （心情）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 taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
    Tune it out
    Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions 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, including 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. There include de3ep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(复杂的)but aren’t. One easy way to visualize, close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to unhappiness is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. 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（刺激）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(面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.
    小题1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
    A．Draw a picture of something complicated．B．Put more sugar into your coffee．
    C．Writing down negative thoughts．D．look ahead and write something positive．
    小题2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
    A．It helps raise your spirits．B．It brings us a new technique．
    C．It is not complicated to do so．D．It is an area to be easily controlled．
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．You don’t have to be nice to your neighborsB．you often feel powerful when in bad mood
    C．Some TV shows won’t energize youD．Slow exercise can gets you out of bad mood
    小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
    A．How to Beat a Bad MoodB．Energy Level and Stress
    C．Bad Mood and Our LifeD．How to Control Your Feeling

    Chocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence(证据) is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:
    A happier heart
    Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa—the main ingredient in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症).
    Better blood pressure
    If yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently 
    found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate 
    per day for two weeks their blood pressure drop quickly.
    Muscle magic
    Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(锻炼). In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks.
    Better for your skin. German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day. After three months, the women’s skin was moister(滑润的)and smoother. The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance.
    Brain gains
    It sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving by increasing blood flow to the brain.
    小题1:Which of the following is wrong?                                            
    A．Coca’s chemicals can prevent both cell damage and inflammation.
    B．Chocolate may help you lower your blood pressure.
    C．People early know chocolate is good for their health.
    D．Chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving.
    小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?
    A．Sports drinks are better than chocolate milk.
    B．Sports drinks can make people easy to be tired.
    C．Drinking milk can keep you energetic at work.
    D．We should drink chocolate milk between times when we work hard.
    小题3:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．Chocolate, a Healthy FoodB．More Chocolate, Less Health
    C．Chocolate and Blood PressureD．Advice on Eating Chocolate
    小题4:What’s the meaning of “bite their tongues” in the first paragraph?

    Experts say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “ Culture shock” is the term these experts use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the experts. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.
    There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems---the telephone, post office ,or transportation --may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.
    Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.
    Culture shock causes a feeling of disorientation (迷惘）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience--these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
    小题1:According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _________________.
    A．the fewer difficulties you may have abroad
    B．the more difficulties you may have abroad
    C．the more money you will earn abroad
    D．the less homesick you will feel abroad
    小题2:.Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?
    A．“Culture shock” is a term used to describe the feelings that people experience in a new environment
    B．In the second stage of “ Culture shock”, people may hate the life in the new environment
    C．When you are homesick, you had better not stay at home all the time
    D．Every one of us doesn’t feel culture shock in this way or that
    小题3:.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A．Escape unfamiliar environment
    B．The feeling of homesickness
    C．The best way to overcome (克服、战胜）culture shock: get familiar with the new culture
    D．Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock

    A purple tomato genetically engineered to contain nutrients more commonly seen in dark berries helped cancer in mice, British researchers said on Sunday. The finding, published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, bolsters the idea that plants can be genetically modified(changed) to make people healthier.
    Cancer-prone mice fed the modified fruit lived significantly longer than animals fed a standard diet with and without regular tomatoes, Cathie Martin and colleagues at
    the government-funded John Innes Center in Britain reported. “The effect was much bigger than we had expected.” said Martin, a plant biologist.
    The study focused on anthocyanins，a type of antioxidant found in berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants that have been shown to lower risk of cancer, heart diseases and some neurological diseases. While an easy way to improve health, many people don’t eat enough of these fruits, the researchers said. Using genes from the snapdragon flower, the researchers discovered they could get the tomatoes to make anthocyanins---- turning the tomato purple in the process.
    Mice genetically engineered to develop cancer lived an average of 182 days when they were fed the purple tomatoes, compared to 142 days for animals on the standard diet. “It is greatly encouraging to believe that by changing diet, or specific components in the diet. You can improve health in animals and possibly humans.” Martin said in a telephone interview.
    The researchers warned that trials in humans are a long way off and the next step is to investigate( look into) how the antioxidants actually affect the tumors to promote better health. But the findings do support the formal research suggesting that people can significantly improve their health by making simple changes to the daily diet, other researchers said.
    “It’s exciting to see new techniques that could potentially make healthy foods even better for us.” said Doctor Lara Bennett, science information office at Cancer Research UK. “ But it is too early to say whether anthocyanins obtained through diet could help to reduce the risk of cancer.”
    小题1:The text mainly tells us _________.
    A．what can prevent people from having cancer.
    B．Scientists have developed cancer- fighting tomato.
    C．ways to live much longer have been found by scientists.
    D．genetically engineered food is good for people’s health.
    小题2:In the first paragraph the underlined word “ bolster” probably means _______
    A．changeB．reduceC．supportD．test
    小题3:Which of the following was NOT the result found in the study?
    A．Blackberries and blackcurrants can lower risk of cancer.
    B．The anthocyanins can make the purple tomatoes grow stronger.
    C．Genes from snapdragon flowers can be put into common tomatoes.
    D．Mice fed the modified fruit lived longer than the common ones.
    小题4:According to Dr. Lara Bennett, the effects of anthocyanins through diet on human being________
    A．are not certain now.
    B．have been proved
    C．are very harmful
    D．are hard to be tested

    Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so.“Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or well when you are ill.
    If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
    The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
    Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.

    He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.　　
    A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
    “But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

    There is one type of illness in the world that affects more people than anything else and is very deadly. If untreated this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.
    Everyone's circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.
    So how can we change the way we think, feel, and cultivate a cheerful attitude?
    First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven't or can't do anything, then one step is needed - to set goals.
    Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.
    It takes more than just setting goals to be happy. It takes positive thinking. How can we attain this?
    There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.
    In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it's much easier for your mental body or "thinking ability" to be happy.
    Next, exercise. A half-hour a day is recommended for positive well being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.
    If you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable.
    小题1:Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?
    A．Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.
    B．Depression can all be cured successfully by patients themselves.
    C．Those who suffer from depression feel dissatisfied with themselves.
    D．Those who suffer from depression live in similar circumstances.
    小题2:According to the passage we can learn that ____________.
    A．a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success
    B．we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant
    C．we should avoid challenging goals that may lead to failure
    D．people can enjoy happiness only if they set reasonable goals
    小题3:In order to achieve positive thinking a person should do these things EXCEPT____________.
    A．set challenging goalsB．eat healthier foods
    C．exercise half an hour a dayD．always wear a smile
    小题4:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．To prove the argument that depression can be changed.
    B．To analyze the danger depression can bring to people.
    C．To introduce to readers how to keep positive thinking.
    D．To recommend some ways to deal with depression.

    Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet .... We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
    Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)  instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
    On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
    The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
    Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
    小题1:From Paragraph 1, we learn that ______.
    A．diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
    B．people have difficulty in choosing diet products
    C．diet products are misleading people
    D．people are fed up with diet products
    小题2:One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ______.
    A．try out a variety of diet foods
    B．hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
    C．pay attention to their own eating habits
    D．watch their weight rather than their diet
    小题3:In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.
    A．diet products bring no pain
    B．it costs a lot to lose weight
    C．losing weight is effortless
    D．diet products are free from calories
    小题4:Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.
    A．are over-consumed
    B．lack basic nutrients
    C．are short of chemicals
    D．provide too much energy

    Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.
    Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
    Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
    The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
    To stop this vicious（恶性的） circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
    小题1:It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.
    A．foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
    B．we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
    C．it is essential for people to protect their vital organs
    D．giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
    小题2:Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.
    A．destroy body’s cellsB．may lead to obesity
    C．are difficult to digestD．stop body’s metabolism
    小题3:What is the main purpose of this passage?
    A．To warn people of the problem of obesity.
    B．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.
    C．To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
    D．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
    小题4:What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?
    A．Different causes of acid accumulation.
    B．Correct ways to cook raw foods.
    C．Suitable types of raw and whole foods.
    D．Active approaches to avoid acid.
    小题5:What can we learn from the text?
    A．Processed foods are good for our appetite mechanism.
    B．Processed foods also comfort the digestive tract.
    C．T he accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion more effective.
    D．Eating the right types of raw and whole foods does good to our body.

    According to a new study by Israel researchers from University of Haifa, posting blogs to express feelings and emotions is therapeutic for children aged 13-17. Psychology professors Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak have found that a teenager writing a publicly-viewed blog on the Internet is more effective for relieving stress rather than keeping a private diary. The study, published in the journal Psychological Services, supports that expressing oneself through writing can be therapeutic.
    To conduct the research, Boniel-Nissim and Barak randomly selected Israeli high school students who displayed a certain degree of stress. The teenagers were then divided into six groups. Two groups were asked to post blogs twice a week about their social difficulties, but only one of them was asked to open the blogs for comments. The next set of groups were also asked to blog twice a week to post about whatever was going on in their mind, again with one group allowing comments. The two control groups were asked to keep an old-fashioned private diary.
    The researchers then collected the blog posts and diaries to discuss the adolescents’ emotional and social position. From the research, they saw that the greatest improvement in mood was with the bloggers who wrote about their personal troubles and allowed people to interact with their posts. The research also noted that the comments were mostly positive and constructive. Boniel-Nissim and Barak said that the commentators’ interactions helped the bloggers while they were distressed. The conclusive research noted that expressing yourself on the Internet not only let others know what was personally going on with you, but also helped you figure out some things about yourself too.
    小题1:The underlined word “therapeutic” in Paragraph 1 can be best explained as “     ”.
    A．attractive to teens
    B．addictive for children
    C．making people feel calm and relaxed
    D．able to be easily hurt
    小题2:______________were selected for the research.
    A．Those who blogged regularly.
    B．Those who suffered from stress.
    C．Those who had never blogged before.
    D．Those who had poor social skills.
    小题3:The research shows that teens benefit most when       .
    A．they blog and allow comments
    B．they discuss their study on the blog
    C．they keep a traditional diary
    D．they comment on someone else’s blog
    小题4:We can infer from the last paragraph that blogging ___________.
    A．should not always be opened to comments
    B．is most useful in improving one’s mood
    C．is not an effective way to express one’s feelings
    D．can help students see their problems better
