How to Care for Your Mental Health?

When you’ve been exposed to an infectious illness, it’s important to quarantine (隔离) yourself 1. While you likely don’t need to worry, spending a lot of time in quarantine may have a negative effect on your mental health.

You can participate in enjoyable activities. While you’re in quarantine, try to do things you enjoy, like watching TV or your favorite movies. You might even use this time to catch up on shows you’ve been planning to watch. However, limit yourself to a few hours of TV at a time so you don’t start to feel down. 2. Otherwise, you can have sad feelings or depression.

3. You might have days when you feel like there’s no point in bathing since you are not going out. However, it’s important to maintain good hygiene (卫生), and bathing actually improves your mood. Bathe or shower at least once a day so you’re taking good care of yourself.

4. You probably want to know what’s going on outside your quarantine space, but too much information can add to your stress, especially news about a pandemic (流行病). Set times to check on the news so you don’t get caught in a constant cycle of watching for updates. 5. So you aren’t seeing news updates there.

What if it isn’t a dog-eat-dog world? What if caring for a dog or for a mom with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) makes you stronger and allows you to live longer?

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are born to be selfish.

Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was misunderstood by his male followers, the researchers say. Rather than “every man for himself”, Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our educational, selfless and sympathetic characteristics.

Why has it taken so long for Darwin’s central revelation(揭示) to be properly understood? “We’ve had too many men in social science,” Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner told me in an interview. “Female scientists acknowledge that caring for people is part of human nature according to the research, which shows the human ability to care exists in our brains and nerve systems.”

In my book Passages in Caregiving , I urge women who take the whole responsibility for taking care of an elderly parent or a sick relative to build a “Circle of Care”. Reach out to your brothers and sisters, friends, neighbors and community volunteers to help you care, because no one can perform this overwhelming role alone. You will be as shocked as I to learn how the most selfless caregivers are rewarded with longer life.

Sympathy is not a woman’s word. In fact it makes all of us stronger under stress and more highly respected by our peers. For so long we have repeated the false saying “Nice guys finish last”. But the 40 richest Americans committed to doing good by donating half their fortunes are no spring chickens. So here is my new explanation：Nice guys die last.

1.The first paragraph serves to ________.

A．give the background of the topic

B．blame the world for selfishness

C．urge people to care for a dog

D．bring out the topic of the passage

2.In Passages in Caregiving, women are advised to________.

A．share the responsibility of caring with others

B．take good care of themselves

C．learn how to live a longer life

D．help as many people as possible

3.The underlined words “no spring chickens” in the last paragraph refer to ________ .

A．rich people        B．poor people       C．young people      D．aged people

4.Why does the author mention the 40 richest Americans’ commitment in this passage?

A．To argue against offering sympathy.

B．To use it as an example to support his opinion.

C．To show their generosity to society.

D．To call on people to learn from them.

5.Which of the following might be the BEST title of the passage?

A．Selflessness could be the secret to longer life

B．Darwin’s theory of evolution is out of date now

C．Measures must be taken to improve the world

D．Males and females have different opinions about selflessness

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

That summer an army of crickets(蟋蟀) started a war with my father. Dad didn’t care for insects much more than Mamma, but he could tolerate a few living in the basement. Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy. Then to support her point she wouldn’t go to bed. She drank coffee and smoked my father’s cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV. Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave, so Dad drove to the store and hurried back. He sprayed poison from a jug. When he was finished he told us that was the end of it.

For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that we’d all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn’t like because he scratched for no reason.

However, soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upset because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back, but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison, and then he sprayed the basement again.

A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.

While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was in the lawn mower’s(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house. Once the roof caught, there wasn’t much anyone could do.

After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail’s. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didn’t talk much, while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.

1.What do we know about the author’s mother?

A. She didn’t like insects at all.

B. She liked insects more than his father.

C. She cared for insects very much.

D. She could only tolerate a few insects.

2.The author’s father drove to the store to buy _______.

A. cigarettes for himself                                                   B. some poison

C. more coffee for his wife                                              D. some gasoline

3.The author’s father burned the old newspapers and magazines because he thought ______.

A. they were no longer useful

B. the crickets were afraid of fires

C. they became the home of crickets

D. the dead crickets came back to life

4.We learn from the last paragraph that ________.

A. the author’s family lost their battle against the crickets

B. the author’s parents learned to put up with insects

C. the author’s family didn’t suffer much in the fire

D. the author’s parents got divorced
