What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think? The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you fe el angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion. When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?” Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffin g it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your he ad and proceed with your task. 61. Which one does not belong to the negative emotion? A. anxiety B. confusion C. depression D. sorrow 62. What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article? A. Listen to some music. B. Ignore it and do something else. C. Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion. D. Think about it and try to deal with it immediately. 63. The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) most probably means _____. A. break down B. get rid of C. cut off D. throw into 64. What’s the best title of this text? A. Clear Your Mental Space. B. Deep Breath, Trouble Away. C. Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion. D. Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible. 65. The author’s opinion towards negative emotion is _____. A. doubtful B. optimistic C. frightened D. confused B What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect i s the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱). He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively. Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation. Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place. These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technolo gist thinks and acts. 66. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________ A. knowledge only. B. more than one aspect. C. technology only. D. the use of machines. 67. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE? A. He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work. B. He is interested in problems that are explained. C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections. D. He looks for new ways of acting. 68. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________. A. easily believe in unchecked statements. B. easily criticize others' research work. C. always use his imagination in work. D. always use evidence from observation. 69. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses? A. complete B. objective C. complicated D. accurate C The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nation’s largest cities, can ever graduate. The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isn’t dropping. And, in particular, the dropout rate isn’t dropping for poor and minority students. Amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our schools continue to lack formal plans--or any plans--to teach students motivation(动机). Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to believe that. Years ago, families ensured that the children recognized the value of schooling. But in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important. Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training. Otherwise, it is likely the dropout rate will continue not to drop, but only worsen. Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (无动于衷的) students that they must stay in school. Ask students if they will ever need to work: The world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. Today, factories are increasingly automated. Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma. Ask students which century they will be prepared for: In 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servant—education not needed. Now, the most common jobs are office and sales staff—education and diploma usually needed. An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office. Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. For example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. A prototype is apparently already being tested. The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation. 70. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1? A. Few students can afford to go to school in large cities. B. A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now. C. There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early. D. Most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students. 71. Without the help of youth professionals,_____. A. more and more families will gradually recognize the value of school. B. it is likely that the dropout rate in schools won’t continue to drop. C. some parents will be more convinced of their children’s future. D. the schools will make proper plans to solve the problems with dropout. 72. The author takes factory work for example mainly to ______. A. tell us that many jobs requires certain education in the past B. show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society C. show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate D. emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary 73. It can be inferred that______. A. both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate B. many new jobs don’t need children’s high school diploma C. working in a store doesn’t require a high school diploma D. most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study 74. If students play the “Replace Me” game, the result would be “______”. A. They will know that they can ‘always’ do without a diploma B. More of them will drop out early to go to work C. They will discover that lack of education is a disadvantage in choosing jobs D. They will become better at using computers to hunt for a job
