黑龙江省大兴安岭漠河县第一中学2019-2020学年高一上学期英语期末考试试卷(含听力音频)
You may get nervous just at the mention of having to wait. What if the results were bad? What if I failed the final? You try to focus on your work, but the bad thoughts surround you like a pack of wolves. You try to relax, but you just feel too anxious.
Every day, a waiting period may come along with circumstances. It triggers your anxiety. You probably know that worry isn't very helpful and that it only hurts your health. But you also probably can't stop.
Take deep breaths. As you sit, close your eyes and hold a comfortable position. Take a long breath, hold it as long as you can, and then breathe out slowly. Repeat as often as you need. Remember that your breath is available to you at any time. Even one deep breath can help.
Recite something helpful. For example, "I am strong and brave and can get through this." "I believe in myself and my abilities." "I am deserving."
Try this exercise. Put your hands on the heart or stomach, or cup the face. Then say, "Everyone experiences suffering," which helps to ease what you're going through. Finally, say, "May I be peaceful."
Staying present-focused is the key to managing anxiety. One strategy is to give tasks your full attention. For example, if you are doing the dishes, notice how your hands feel touching the sponge (海绵), notice the smell of the soap, focus on the sound the water makes as it hits each dish, etc.
A. Lead a mindful life.
B. Just stay where you are.

A. The younger generation don't favor these professions any more. B. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture. C. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people's life. D. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life. E. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved. F. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people. G. The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous. |
Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today's situation is quite different. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor-in other words, they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Let's take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes' best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they'll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living-they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won't realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
