(2015福建省普通高中毕业班质检)so many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to usbelieving this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.a friend of mine, recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. she said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. when i suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “i cant do that. hes the one who should apologize.” after a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. to her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. as is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. we start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. they are not. if you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. the way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. let other people be right. this doesnt mean that youre wrong. everything will be fine. youll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. they might even reach back. but, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. youll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。12the underlined word “rekindle” in paragraph 1 probably means

stress and relaxation a little later simple way to think about it is that our body s stress response works like a car alarm. keep ussafeby warning us of the presence of danger in our immediate environment.but instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound，our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神经化学）.if youve ever experienced painin your stomach，periodsof extreme anger, inability tofocus or eveninsomnia(失眠），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.so if its so uncomfortable，why not just get rid of stress altogether?this is not only impractical，it would be dangerous. lets go back to the metaphor (比喻说法）of the car alarm. if the alarm is turned off altogether，the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. it would be like walking through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed，your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (肾上腺素) for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.however，if the car alarm goes off at any time，someone just looks at the car with a bit of an attitude，and it becomes equally useless. not only do we stop paying attention to it，but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. in the case of our bodies，walking around in a constant state of alarm also has some pretty alarming health consequences，which we will explore in greater depth in the next chapter.25. our bodys stress response is compared to a car alarm in that .a. they work all the time b. they both give a signalc. they work in the same way d. they both produce a sound26. when our body alarm system works， .a. we feel calm b.we feel excitedb. some changes happen in our brain d.some changes happen in our heart27. what would happen if stress were got rid of completely?a. we11 be free of worries.b. we11 achieve a sense of safety.c. we11 reach a perfect state of mind.d. we11 fail to realize the possible danger.28. whats thepurpose of giving the example of walking through the jungle inparagraph 4?a. to show the harm of stress.b. to show the effect of stress.c. to explain the function of stress response.d. to explain the necessity of stress response.【答案】25.b26.c27.d28.d26. c 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句if youve ever experienced pain in your stomach，periods of extreme anger, inability to focus or even insomnia (失眠），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.如果你感觉到胃部疼痛，一段时期的极其愤怒，难以集中注意力，或者失眠，那么你的身体就是在为大脑化学的压力付出代价。由此句可知，身体报警系统工作时，身体是有变化的，如胃部疼痛，极其愤怒， 失眠等。因此c 为正确选项。27. d 细节理解题。从第四段 if the alarm is turned off altogether，the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. 可知,如果发动机的报警系统被关掉,车辆就完全暴露在不断的危险中,而没有任何迹象让你知道, 直到太晚。 也就是d 选项的说法，我们不能意识到可能存在的危险。 28 . d 推理判断题。文章第四段末while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed, your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.句意,就象放松的时候感觉很好一样,你的身体真的需要压力反应,不仅为为了提醒你危险的存在, 也是为了给你的心脏提供肾上腺,为你的胳膊,腿提供额外的血液和氧气。由此可知，如果完全失去压力， 我们就不能意识到潜在危险的存在，就象人走在丛林中而不知毒蛇,猛兽的存在,这样 很容易引起读者共鸣, 以此来说明压力反映存在的必要性, 所以选d。考点：考查说明文阅读理解【河北省衡水中学2016届高三上学期七调】 at the magazine we welcome your contributions! we love to publicize authors，bloggers and businesses. and there are several spots available for writers. author
