Those who had a hard time getting over daily troubles had more physical health problems ten years later.If you are likely to think over daily troubles-running through every what if and if only- it makes you feel thats a big deal. Maddux said, “You probably find you feel even worse after a night of thinking. If that cycle is repeated over time, it will wear you down.The study results are based on 1,155 people who took in a national health study. Each day, the people described their feeling changes over the past 24 hours. During the 10-year mark, only 17 percent of the people have no physical health problems, and only 20 percent are satisfied with their physical strength. But those who always say they have negative feelings because of daily troubles are more likely to have the physical problems, the finding showed.People can be likely to have bad feelings for a longer time for many reasons. For some people, worries or anger could drive it. Many others naturally have a more nervous feeling or are likely to think over and over again. But even if you are born to be negative, that can be changed.Yes, its hard to let go, Leger said. But people can develop that skill through practice, in which you train the mind to pay attention to the present, rather than worries about the past.Paying attention to the present, especially on things you are grateful for, has been shown to have several advantages, Leger said.36 . What does the study result show us?A1, 155 people say they have physical health problems.BDuring 24 hours, people never change their feelingsCOnly 17% of the people have no physical health problems.DOnly 20% dont feel quite good about their physical strength.37 . The underlined expression that skill in Paragraph 5 refers to _.Aasking what if”Bletting it goCcaring about the pastDthinking over and over38 . The purpose of the passage is to _.Aintroduce different kinds of negative feelings.Bhelp people know about the national health studyCteach readers the ways to let the negative feelings goDask people not to think over too much about the daily troubles39 . Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from ?ATechnology PartBAdvertisement Part.CHealth Study PartDChemical Research Part.阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳答案。ASo, lets imagine you are walking down the street drinking a box of tea. You finish drinking the tea. Now, what do you do with the box? Do you drop it on the ground? Or, do you do the right thing and drop it in a trash can? Hopefully, you drop it in the trash can because, besides harming the environment, littering is also very impolite.Recently, a magazine published a list of the most polite cities in the world. They looked three things: did people litter, did shop clerks say thank you and did people hold the door open for the person behind them? The top three politest cities were New York, USA, Zurich, Switzerland, and Toronto, Canada. Hong Kong, China was number 35. Shanghai wasnt even on the list.Does that mean that Shanghai is not a polite city? Well, maybe. There are different ways to judge(判断) politeness but the survey was looking at how a visitor to a city would feel when walking around its public places. Visitors dont like to step over empty tea boxes as they walk down the street. They dont like it when they buy something and the shop clerk doesnt say thank you or even give them a smile. They also dont like it when someone lets a door slam(砰然关上) into them instead of holding it open.Shanghai is a nice city but it is not always the most polite city. I dont think this is intentional(有意的). I think its just a lack of awareness(缺乏意识). China is becoming a popular place for tourists to visit. When they come to Shanghai they will find a friendly city: it would be nice if they also found a polite one. And, remember, being polite makes you feel good, too. Its nice to be nice.40 . The following cities EXCEPT _ are on the list of the most polite cities in the world.AShanghaiBTorontoCNew YorkDZurich41 . How many cities are mentioned in this passage?AFour.BFive.CSix.DSeven.42 . Why is Shanghai not always the most polite city in the survey?ABecause people there dont realize the importance of politeness.BBecause people there are not friendly enoughCBecause the food there is not delicious.DBecause the city is too old.43 . In the survey, it is looked to be impolite _.Ato give visitors a smileBto drop tea boxes into the trash canCto say thank you to visitorsDto hold the door closed for visitors44 . The writer mainly wants to tell us _.Anot to drink tea in the streetBto hold the door open for anybodyCto remember to be polite in public placesDto travel to the most polite cities more oftenSometimes we feel good, such as when we get good grades or when something good happens. Sometimes we feel bad, such as when we argue with our classmates or when the teachers criticize us. Both kinds of feelings are common. Of course, we all enjoy good feelings, but when we feel unhappy, sometimes we dont know what to do about it. Here is a plan that will help you when your feelings are bothering you.I. ACCEPT your feelings. Say to yourself, “I am sad.” “I am seared.” “I am angry.” “I am embarrassed.” Its all right to have these feelings.2. RELAX and have a rest before you act. Take slow deep breaths (呼吸)and relax your body. Imagine that you are in a safe place. You can listen to some music or sing a beautiful song!3. THINK about ways to help yourself. Thinking helps you do something smart instead of hurting yourself or making things worse.4. DO something to help yourself. Maybe you can talk to someone, or do something you enjoy. If it doesnt work, go back to Step3.45 . We feel unhappy when .Awe get good gradesBeverything goes wellCsomeone is proud of usDwe have a fight with our classmates46 .
