Imagine that a close friend ignores you when you arrive at his party. 1. But if you think about the situation differently, you would calm down. Using a particular emotion management strategy called reappraisal, which involves viewing an upsetting event in a positive light, is often effective in contributing to positive outcomes.
2. The research showed that if people believed feelings were malleable (可塑造的), they used reappraisal more frequently, and in return they had greater emotional health and life satisfaction.
University of Toronto researcher Brett Ford and her colleagues did another study. 3. The researchers found that the youths who believed emotions were controllable used reappraisal more and were less depressed than those who didn’t.
Does accepting our feelings impact our well-being? 4. In one research, the researchers stressed out participants by requiring them to give an impromptu (即兴的) talk. In another research, people kept daily diaries about how they handled stressors (紧张性刺激). In both cases participants who accepted their feelings experienced less negative emotions than people who judged their feelings.
“However, while emotions may be changed with efforts, that doesn’t mean they’re completely controllable,” says Eric Smith of Stanford University, “we shouldn’t expect to completely avoid or immediately remove certain of feelings. 5.”
A.It found a similar pattern.
B.You would be angry or upset, right?
C.We have beliefs about our emotions.
D.According to Ford and her colleagues, it does.
E.But we can learn to reduce them in hard times.
F.They were also less depressed and more satisfied with life.
G.Now, new research suggests our beliefs about our feelings affect us greatly.

When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer(模糊的) than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.
When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the “felt” image of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.
The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions(部分); certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.
Although the “felt” image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent(前后一致的) right and left and atop and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.
If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes (中风)which wipe out recognition of one entire side –these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the “felt” image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.
1.According to the passage the “felt” image________the mirror image.
A.is precisely the same as B.is as clear as
C.often differens from D.is always much smaller than
2.Which the following staterants is NOT true?
A.The felt Image is much more important because it helps you locate new feelings.
B.When you are in bed with your eyes closed, it is not easy to imagine your image.
C.When you move, the “felt” image of yourself starts to become clearer.
D.The “felt” image is not so important as the mirror image.
3.If a man loses the ability to recognize his right side,________.
A.he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his left side
B.he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his right side
C.he loses his sense of touch on the left side
D.he loses feeling on both sides
4.What is this passage mainly about?
A.Stroke victims’ “felt” images B.Stroke victims’ mirror images.
C.The importance of “felt” images D.The importance of mirror images.

When you think of the future,you imagine having some sort of robot friend in your life.Musio,a new robot unveiled recently,is something like that.
Musio is an artificial intelligence software that runs on Google's Android mobile OS,and is packaged in the form of a round little robot with pointy ears.It doesn't move around,but it has a digital screen for its eyes and heart that are used to express the robot's emotions.It also comes with a remote pointer device,called Sophy,which is used to detect objects that trigger different interactions with Musio.
The robot was created by AKA,a company specializing in machine learning and natural language processing.It's designed to interact with its users with a voice interface,much like you'd use Siri.But Musio's creators,Wilmington, Delaware-based AKA Study,stress that this is a much different experience than using Siri—Musio can have interactive conversations and remember information about its users,sort of like a little person.Musio can do all sorts of things like controlling home automation and it has a number of integrated sensors.The robot is also programmable and it is able to speak naturally.It is designed to share its emotions via faces on its LCD screen.There are three versions of Musio that vary on hardware.The Simple version has a 1.2GHz dual core processor,1800 mAh battery, 16GB storage and isn't internet connected.It can only recall the last five conversations it has.
Beyond running on the open source Android platform,Musio is also Arduino compatible.The Arduino platform is an open source electronics platform built to be easy to program.Its purpose is to take different inputs through a suite of sensors and then relay commands to lights,motors,or actuators as a result.Musio is also compatible with the Zigbee wireless standard used by a range of smart home devices,so it's possible that developers could intertwine the robot with other appliances and turn it into a sort of voice-activated smart home hub with a personality.
And there are several educational accessories that come with Musio,such as flash cards and a fold-out accordion board book.Using Sophy,the pointer,Musio can interact with these objects thanks to a Bluetooth low-energy connection and a special code implanted in the printed materials.
1.What is Musio?
A. A digital e-book reader. B. A language learning software.
C. An artificial intelligence robot. D. A voice-controlled website.
2.How is Musio different from Siri?
A. It can hear and understand what its user speaks.

When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 36tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 37. It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for 38 friendship to 39.
However, there can be 40 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 41 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 42 at arm’s length? Do we want to 43 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 44 enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to 45 that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 46 experience 47 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 48 be undertaken(进行)slowly and carried on only if there are 49 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 50 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return. In 53 words, you must give as much as you take.
Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 54 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 55.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you?
It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in common than strangers do, the Guardian reported.
Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match.
“One percent may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a significant number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you.
So is it a coincidence that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together.
People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was critical that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (易感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to survive.
Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those affecting sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and are therefore more likely to meet and become friends with each other.
Based on their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It calculates how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes.
So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to figure it out by yourself and let time be the judge?
1.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A.To explain why friends share skills and interests.
B.To report on recent findings about making friends.
C.To analyze what influences the way people make friends.
D.To explain an interesting test called the “friendship score”.
2.According to the researchers of the study, people _______.
A.form friendships by complete coincidence
B.are genetically similar to their friends, compared to strangers
C.make friends with those who share nearly 10 percent of their genes
D.may share more similar genes with their friends than with their fourth cousins
3.With the examples of ancient people developing the ability to speak and helping each other build a fire, the author intends to _______.
A.show how ancient people helped each other survive
B.explain that similar interests are what lead to friendship
C.show that it is evolution that brings friends together
D.tell us why it was easier for ancient people to find friends
4.According to the article, people with similar genes that affect their sense of smell ______.
A.like to hang out at cafes more often
B.are easily attracted to the smell of their friends
C.are more likely to be attracted to a similar environment
D.can identify people in a crowd who can become friends
