Guilt, a positive use for a negative emotion

Guilt is one the most painful emotions that humans experience but also one of the most common. Nobody enjoys feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: it alerts a person when he or she has done something wrong. This makes it possible for the person to make amends and it can also motivate people to avoid making similar mistakes later.

Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if not dealt with in the right way. It can cause people to avoid others because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inaction. Some try to avoid the pain of guilt by turning to other worse habits. Others try to cover up their guilt by blaming others or becoming angry.

What makes it more complicated is that sometimes people feel guilty about things that they can’t control. One example of this is survivors’ guilt, when people who survived a disaster feel guilty because they escaped death while others didn’t. Other people experience false guilt because of too high expectations for themselves.

The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you're dealing with. For false guilt, it’s important to recognize that guilt does not reflect an actual ethical failure. For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself. In this case, it’s important to remind yourself that you have limits. No one is perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits is actually a sign of humility.

It’s also important to acknowledge what you are feeling. Even when you don’t need to feel guilty, these feelings are real and normal. Try to balance them with positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change.

It’s possible that you feel guilty because you actually did something wrong—or didn’t do something you should have .If so, don’t try to hide it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness, working to heal relationships that were damaged by your actions, which will make your guilty feelings fade.

Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it well.

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an aeroplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!

The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you can’t prevent an aeroplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

1.Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _________.

A. they were given no warning beforehand

B. they had never burnt themselves

C. they had no sense of pain     D. they were fearful of the fire

2. A really fearless soldier _____________.

A. is of great use to the army    B. is not a real soldier

C. is nothing but a dead soldier  D. easily gets killed in a battle

3.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding the danger because _________.

A. they have gained experience   B. they jump out of the way in time

C. they are calm in the face of danger

D. they are warned of the danger by fear and take quick action

4.What's the writer's suggestion when the danger can't be avoided?

A. You have to try to overcome it.   B. Fear can really help you to run away.

C. Fear always helps you stay safe.  D. Fear is of great use to you.

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers had become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

There are several reasons for hair loss in women. However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily(暂时地) due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.

Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency ( which is not genetically linked to just one parent—both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).

Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs (草药) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.

The majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman’s hair issue is different from a man’s. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.

One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.

1.It can be learned from the 1^st paragraph that ___________.

A. usually hair loss is hard to heal

B. female hair loss is more common than the men’s

C. women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period

D. only illness contribute to hair loss

2.Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments?

A. Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss.

B. Tricomin System is effective in speeding the growth of the new hair

C. Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss

D. The former is nutrition-based, while the latter is medicine-based.

3.The reasons for the differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include ______________.

A. The biological structure and composition of the hair

B. The wants and needs

C. The reactions and responses to the outside changes

D. The approach to taking exercise

4.The natural treatments __________.

A. include vitamin and mineral supplements

B. are applied to keep the hair healthy

C. have been proved useful

D. are the most commonly-used ways

One of the most popular and enduring myths about depression is that depressed people are sad all the time—and that by extension, people who are happy can’t be experiencing depression, even if they say they are. It is a mistaken version of depression. Depression doesn’t make you sad all the time.

When I’m having a depressive feeling, I’m not walking around in black clothes, and weeping. I go out with friends. I play jokes. I keep working, and have friendly chats with the people I work with. I read books. Above all, I experience moments of happiness. Yet I feel a strange conflicting pressure. On the one hand, I feel like I need to engage in a sort of sadness for people to understand that I really am depressed and that each day is a struggle for me. Because that way I will appear suitably sad, and thus, depressed—and then maybe people will recognize that I’m depressed and perhaps they’ll even offer support and assistance.

On the other hand, I feel an extreme pressure to perform just the opposite, because sad depressed people are boring and no fun, as I am continually reminded every time I speak openly about depression or express feelings of sadness and frustration. I’m caught in a trap where if I don’t perform sadness, I’m not really depressed, but if I express sadness at all to any degree, I’m annoying and boring and should stop being so self-centered. Depression can become your master, but you can slip out from under it occasionally. And many depressed people don’t actually spend it fainting dramatically on the couch and talking about how miserable they are.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Sad people are always depressed.

B. Depressed people are sad all the time.

C. Happy people will never feel depressed.

D. Depressed people do not always feel sad.

2.When feeling depressed, the writer usually avoids ________.

A. expressing sad feelings straight

B. going out with friends and relatives

C. having friendly chats with colleagues

D. experiencing moments of happiness

3.What’s the writer’s attitude to being sad and depressed?

A. Positive.        B. Negative.        C. Indifferent.        D. Cold.

4.In the passage, the writer advises depressed people to ________.

A. speak openly about depression

B. hide the depression in the heart and never express it

C. be optimistic and become the master of depression

D. lie on the couch and talk about how depressed they are
