2019中考英语阅读理解优编(三)【实战训练】 A(2019中考教育类选练)Next time youre unhappy or complaining about your life, dont turn to a cheerful comedy. You might find a tear-jerking tragedy(催人泪下的悲剧) is just the thing you need to brighten your day. A team of researchers at Ohio State University, US, has found sad movies can make people happier, Science Daily reported last month. Many people find tragedies make them realize how good their own lives are, the study showed. “People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important relationships in their own lives,” said Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, leader of the study. “Tragic stories often focus on themes of eternal(永恒的) love, and this leads viewers to think about their loved ones and count their good and helpful things.” In the study, researchers gathered 361 college students and showed them the xx movie, Atonement. The movie is about two lovers who are separated(分离) and finally die during World War II. Before and after the movie, the students were asked questions measuring(衡量) how happy they were with their lives. Researchers also asked them before, after and three times during the movie to measure various emotions, including sadness. Researchers found that the sadder students felt while watching the movie, the more likely they were to think about real people they had close relationships with in life. This increased their happiness after watching the movie. Knobloch-Westerwick explained that negative(消极的) moods make people more thoughtful. “Positive(积极的) emotions show that everything is fine, you dont have to worry, you dont have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a tragic movie may make you sad, but that will make you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate them more.” The link between watching a tragic story and feeling better has long been recognized. The ancient Greeks even had a word for the feeling of happiness after seeing something sad that led to the modern English word “catharsis (宣泄)”. The study also showed that relationships are a very important source of happiness in our lives, so it is no surprise that thinking about your loved ones makes you happier, researchers said. 1.

On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didnt know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area. We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves (岩洞) first.

More of the fourtofiveyear olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy,lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed.However,the seventonineyearolds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a childs confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.”He adds,what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.()6.What does the underlined word“denial”in Paragraph 1 mean?A委屈 B责备 C否认 D拒绝()7.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us_.Akids cant tell“right”from“wrong”Bit takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthCits wrong to punish kids for telling the truthDall the kids are willing to confess to a bad act()8.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?AOlder kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.BYounger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.CThe fourtofiveyearolds would feel better confessing the crime.DThe seventonineyearolds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.()9.According to Professor Smith,what can parents learn from these studies?AParents should at once punish the children who lied.BParents should tell children the wrongness of lying.CParents should never get angry after their childrens confessions.DParents should show positive feelings about their childrens confessions.()10.

Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm. Go to the marketplace, he said, and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road. Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day the wise man said, Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me. The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. You see, said the old man, its easy to drop them, but its impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip.
