I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and communication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and absolutely no one to share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it leftover. That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasnt quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. This continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didnt only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now. I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.4. What made the author decide to run at night?A. His l9th birthday. B. His parents cake.C. His loneliness. D. His friends.5.

That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $ 3-million-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or A.I., to Hasbros “Joy for All” robotic.The cat has already been for sale for two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Browns Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia( 痴 呆 ). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.8. Whats the purpose of the project?A. To relieve the pain of the elderly. B. To promote the sales of a medicine.C. To invent a robotic cat for the elderly. D. To help make the robotic cat smarter.9. Compared with the old model, the new robotic cat will be .A. smaller B. cheaperC. more talkative D. more expensive10. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?A. The cat gives much help to the elderly.B. The more functions of the cat, the better.C. There is no cure for dementia at present.D. Mary Derr would have died without the cat.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.B. Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.C. Each family can afford such a cat in the future.D. The feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11.

Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking andactivates(激活) conflict and defense mechanisms(机制). You assume that situations are worsethan they actually are.When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your bodys production of oxytocin, a feel-good that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether youre having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on whats going right.Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.12. The underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 1 probably means.A. stop listening B. change mindC. sing aloud D. be crazy13. What will happen if you experience negative emotions?A. The situations are sure to become worse.B. Much of your thinking will be prevented.C. You will feel an urge to improve and become better.D. Youll be motivated to resolve conflicts with people.14. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that .A. we need a positive feeling to beat one negative feelingB. positive interactions have greater effects than negative onesC. our conversation should center on what needs improvementD. the effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones15. What is the best title for the passage?A. Harmful Negatives B. More Positive InteractionsC. How to Be a Productive Manager D. Less Time on Strengths【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B【解析】一些关于日常经验的研究证明，当你因为批评或遭到拒绝而经历负面情绪时，你的身体会产生较高水平的应激激素，它关闭了你的思维，激活冲突和防御的机制。而当你体验到积极的互动时，积极的交流会增加你与他人沟通、合作和信任的能力。但是积极的影响不如消极的影响更持久，它需要三到五个积极的互动才能去掉一个负面互动。这给我们一个启示，在谈话时尽可能多的积极互动，才会调动人的积极性。【12题详解】A猜测词义题。根据第一段中的内容可知，一些关于日常经验的最好研究是建立在积极和消极互动率的基础上的，这证明了盲目的积极或消极会使其他人感到沮丧或烦恼，或者干脆不理睬。分析选项的内容可知A项与划线词意思相同。【13题详解】B细节理解题。根据第三段中的中间部分“When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates (激活) conflict and defense mechanisms (机制).”可知，你经历负面情绪时，你的身体会产生较高水平的应激激素，这会切断你的大部分思考，激活冲突和防御机制。故当你经历负面情绪的时候，你的大部分思考是被阻止了。B项正确。【14题详解】D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.”可知，正面事件的影响比负面事件的影响要小和不持久，所以负面情绪的影响要比正面情绪的影响持续时间就，故D项正确。【15题详解】B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，一些关于日常经验的研究证明，当你因为批评或遭到拒绝而经历负面情绪时，你的身体会产生较高水平的应激激素，它切断了你的思维，激活冲突和防御的机制。而当你体验到积极的互动时，积极的交流会增加你与他人沟通、合作和信任的能力。但是积极的影响不如消极的影响更持久，它需要三到五个积极的互动才能去掉一个负面互动。这给我们一个启示，在谈话时尽可能多的积极互动，才会调动人的积极性。故B项More Positive Interactions（更多积极互动）是最佳题目。第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）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。Many cosplay activities are being organized in China, making the subculture popular among some youths.
