三、阅读理解
21. Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity (消极)? 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 feel 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 stuffing 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 head and proceed with your task.
41. Which one does not belong to the negative emotion?
A. anxiety
B. confusion
C. depression
D. sorrow
42. 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.
43. The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) most probably means _____.
A. break down
B. get rid of
C. cut off
D. throw into
44. 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.
45. The author’s opinion towards negative emotion is _____.
A. doubtful
B. optimistic
C. frightened
D. confused

22. Sandi Patty has been a name synonymous(同义的)with Gospel music because of her singing ability since she released her first album in 1979.
Patty's newest book, The Voice, takes a deep dive into parts of her life she's kept private for years. Surprisingly, The Voice is not primarily concerned with Patty's singing voice. Patty was always a talented singer. However, she struggled to find her inner voice and speak up for herself. "I was a shy kid. Words were hard for me,” Patty said.
One of the reasons why Patty found it so difficult to use her voice was a traumatic childhood experience. At age six, she was abused by a friend, an experience she opened up for the first time in the book.
She is sharing the story of her experience now, hoping it will help other people feel less alone. "Feeling alone keeps everybody silent about the tough times in our lives, so we think we're the only ones," Patty said. She wrote in The Voice that she felt like it was her job to make everyone feel better.
Friendships were essential for helping Patty find the courage to speak up. They reminded her that she didn't need to make others feel better because the people she loved didn't doubt she cared for them.
Friends and family were crucial for helping Patty confront another struggle she faced-shame. She felt unpleasant for insecurities about her weight and her divorce. "I've heard it explained that guilt tells us we have done something wrong and shame says we are wrong,” Patty said. "I want people to know that their stories and their voices matter," Patty said. "We have to figure out a way to take our pain away and put it where it needs to be, without letting it guide our lives. Pain is a part of our story. It describes us, but it doesn't need to define us.”
24. What does Patty's newest book focus on?
A. Her singing ability.
B. Her dream of success.
C. Her advice on singing well.
D. Her private experiences.
25. What does the underlined word "traumatic" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bitter.
B. Relaxing.
C. Valuable.
D. Practical.
26. How did Patty's friends influence her?
A. They helped her get rid of loneliness.
B. They witnessed her success.
C. They inspired her to act bravely.
D. They helped her find out problems.
27. What do Patty's words in the last paragraph intend to show?
A. The need to be independent.
B. The importance of relieving our pain.
C. The necessity of accepting our life.
D. The meaning of learning about ourselves.
