高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
A friend of mine was in low spirits one day. He usually dealt with this state of mind by avoiding people until the mood passed. But on that day Fred had an important meeting with his boss, so he decided to put on a false front. During the meeting Fred smiled, joked and played the part of a happy, good-natured person. To his surprise, he soon discovered he was no longer depressed.
Without realizing it, Fred chanced to find an important new principle of psychological research: acting a part can help us feel the way we want to feel — more self-assured in a trying situation, more cheerful when things go wrong.
How can you put this principle to work in your own life? There’s more involved than simply mimicking a few expressions. You have to be systematic about it. Here’s how:
Smile to cheer yourself up.
Relax to reduce anxiety or fear.
Look your best to increase your self-confidence.
Keep cool in a crisis.
Using our bodies and actions to change the way we feel can be a useful tool in helping us through life’s difficult times. As novelist George Eliot wrote more than a century ago, “Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.” People who remember that — and act upon it — can only be richer and happier for the experience.
1.In paragraph 1 the underlined phrase “to put on a false front” means ______.
A．to wear a wrong coat
B．to act a part unsuccessfully
C．to show a pretended happy appearance
D．to put on airs
2.According to Paragraph 1, Fred ______before the meeting.
A．had very few spirits
B．had many spirits
C．was in bad mood
D．was in good mood
3.The underlined phrase “mimicking” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.
A．learning quickly
B．making faces
C．behaving well
D．imitating others
4.In the last paragraph, the quotation “Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds” may show that ______.
A．actions speak louder than words
B．the more we do, the happier we are
C．our feeling cannot change our behavior
D．actions are very important for us to beat bad moods for good

Back in 1963， a company in the US was suffering from low employee（员工） spirit． Everyone was worried that they might lose their jobs， since the company had just joined up with another company， which meant there were suddenly more employees than needed．
That was when Harvey Ball（1921﹣2001）， an artist， was invited by the company to find a way to raise the workplace's spirit． It took Ball less than 10 minutes to draw a smiley face on a bright yellow background， which was then made into buttons that employees could wear on their jackets as a reminder to smile at each other． The face soon became part of the companys culture and was introduced across the country， and﹣ before Ball realized it﹣to the world．
However， as much effort as Ball made， that "message"soon grew to become twisted（歪曲的）． Just think about it： How many of us still use the simple smiley face emoji just to say， "I'm smiling "？ Chances are when we use it， we often mean， "I'm just going to ignore you or"That' s just perfect"﹣ in a sarcastic（讽刺的）way． And our favorite emojis perhaps also include the upside﹣down face or the face with tears of joy ﹣both changed from Ball's former smiley face﹣ and yet， both are often used sarcastically．
Indeed， in today's world， we deal with many things with sarcasm instead of with a smile， perhaps because were finding it harder and harder to be happy． but we keep forgetting about the fact that happiness and smiling go both ways． As Vietnamese spiritual teacher Thich Nhat Hanh once said， "Sometimes， your joy is the source of your smile． But sometimes， your smile can be the source of your joy That was probably what was in Balls mind when he first came up with the smiley face： A smile brings joy， and joy brings people closer together．
1.Ball drew the smiley face in order to ．
A. show his gift for drawing
B. decorate the employees jackets
C. cheer up the employees in the company
D. spread the company's culture to the world
2.According to Paragraph 2， the smiley face has been ．
A. changed gradually
B. used in a bitter way
C. ignored completely
D. recognized as a happier sign
3.What can we learn from the text？
A. Smiling can bring about happiness．
B. Smiling is not popular in today's world．
C. We should make ourselves happier in a different way．
D. We haven't understood the true meaning of the smiley face．
