A.Five Ways to Instantly Rid Yourself of Needless Worry
A while back,I had a great day and everything was going exactly as I wanted.I was meeting tons of new people and everything was amazing.I felt like I’ve accomplished a lot.Then suddenly,like an unexpected swift jab,someone made a small remark about me.I felt hurt and the worry began flowing in.Over the years,I’ve developed belief systems that help me get rid of these worries.I want to share these with you.
1.________ It just isn’t possible to get everyone to like you.Trust me,I’ve tried.This only leads to disappointment on a daily basis,since you can’t possibly live up to the entire world’s expectations.Here’s a new goal for you instead if you really want to get rid of worry and unhappiness from your life.Focus on what you think of yourself.Who cares what that stranger thinks?If life is about actually being awesome.
2.________ The first thing I ask myself is,will this negative thought affect me in the future at all?Is it going to decrease my quality of life somehow?More often than notnto the future by a couple of days and imagine myself.In this vision,I realize that I won’t be bothered by something so small and I most likely wouldn’t even remember it.A lot of times,just the idea of it fleeting away very soon is enough for me to block out these disturbances.
3.________ When I feel like I’m inadequate based on the need for approval from others,I begin to do some selfreflect on my achievements.I think about how much I’ve improved in the past year.I’ve met amazing people,developed active listening skills,and started something I’ve been thinking about for the past two years.Looking further back,I transformed from a socially awkward kid to a socially lively and confident person.All thanks to mental skills that I consciously yield.I was blessed with true fortunes that others do not have; I was blessed with the gift of selfimprovement.
4.________ Write anywhere you can,whether it’s in a blog,in your journal,or on a postit note that you can throw dramatically into the ocean.Get those worries out onto paper.Look at it,assess its importance,then tear it,burn it,or throw it into the ocean like I just said.You can then look back at that paper you just destroyed and laugh at how ridiculous you were being.Who cares if that lady looked at you strangely?Who cares that someone may have noticed stains on your new white sneakers?Write all of that________ Finally,just reflect on how short life is; focus on how life is constantly fleeting.Do you really want to spend what little time you have on this beautiful earth worrying about something you won’t even remember by next week?Don’t be silly【解题导语】 本文介绍五种摆脱不必要的焦虑的方法。解析:选E。根据下文提到It just isn’t possible to get everyone to like you.你不可能让每个人都喜欢你故选E停止尝试获得每个人的喜欢。解析:选F。根据下文提到The first thing I ask myself ist me in the future at all?Is it going to decrease my quality of life somehow?More often than not我问自己的第一件事是这种负面的想法会不会在将来影响我?会不会降低我的生活质量通常我会很快忘记它故选F想想它是不是困扰到你。解析:选D。根据下文提到When I feel like I’m inadequate based on the need for approval from others当我感觉不足以使大家满意时我开始反思自己的成就故选D想到自己有多么的令人吃惊。解析:选A。根据下文提到Write anywhere you canour journal,or on a postit note that you can throw dramatically into the ocean.随时随地的记下你所看到的不管是博客、日记也好还是纸条也好故选A 做好记录。解析:选B。根据下文提到Finallyfocus on how life is constantly fleeting.最后反思生活是短暂的不要持续的消磨时光故选B反思总结生活。B

Tips for Chinese students studying Abroad
As living conditions in China are getting better,parents who want their children to have a bright future invest large sums of money to send their children to study abroad.However,there are countless difficulties that students have to face and solve when they study abroad.Therefore,it is necessary for Chinese overseas students to be aware of certain things to which they must pay attention.
1.________ Safety issues before and after studying abroad have been one of the focuses of parents.However,all experts consider psychological preparation as the most important thing for students studying abroad to consider.They believe that students must have a clear picture of their position and know that they are going abroad to study and receive training and not for leisure.And they should not have the opinion that everything abroad is good and all things from China are bad.Students should prepare themselves for the differences.
2.________ Chinese students have got accustomed to the domestic examoriented education style that is completely different from the more open foreign education mode.They will face changes in the educational system while studying abroad.So students should learn about the differences between the domestic and foreign education styles and try to find more solutions to adjusting to the open education in order to be well prepared for their overseas studies both mentally and practically.
3.________ Students should ask related teachers to help make plans consistent with their practical condition.There should be both macro and detailed learning plans.Macro learning plans require students to hold on to the primary direction of their overseas studies and detailed learning plans require them to arrange learning content for each course and semester(学期).After the plan is made,they should strictly keep to them.Otherwise,the plan will have no effect.
4.________ As Chinese students are not familiar with the place and people,and have no
relatives by their sides,the first feeling they will feel is loneliness,which makes it especially important to learn to develop relationships with people around them.They may meet all kinds of fascinating people abroad.They should go out of their way to be friendly and strike up conversations.The most important thing is to pluck up enough courage to open your mouth and talk with others.Foreigners really like children of this kind and are willing to help them.
5.________ Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class,but Chinese children are used to teachercentered education.Guided and supervised by parents and teachers,Chinese students don’t have much learning space.They may score high in exams,but they may lack independent learning skills and tend to be in a state of passive learning.So the most basic thing that children need to know is that studying abroad requires that they should adapt to overseas studies as soon as possible and try their best to learn actively and independently.

How to Respect Yourself
A lack of selfrespect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships.Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself.
1.________The qualities that we respect vary from person to person,and the way we express it varies from culture to culture.Generally,we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished than ourselves.But there is also a basic level of respect that most people will agree is a right,and does not need to be earned.So think about what it means to respect others.Here are some widely agreedupon signals of respect: You don’t steal from,harm,or insult them; you are honest with them; you listen to what they say,consider their opinions,and avoid interrupting them.
2.________ We often do things for ourselves that we would never dream of doing for someone we care about.Whatever you believe to be respectful,apply it to yourself.Don’t harm yourself.Don’t insult yourself.Don’t steal from yourself.Be honest with yourself.Develop your own opinions and don’t be afraid to stand by them.
3.________ A person with selfrespect doesn’t allow others to treat them badly,and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful.This might seem obvious,but there are many times when we accept being treated badly.When someone doesn’t give you basic respect,you need to be able to say,in one way or another,“You just disrespected me and that’s not acceptable!If you don’t respect me?Once you donse of selfrespect go up.
4.________ When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order,you’ll not only feel better physically,but also feel a sense of pride.Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is,naturally.Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy.Focus on the things you can change and improve,and do them because it feels good.
5.________ The more you know about yourself,the more you’ll see and appreciate how unique you really are.And you’ll respect yourself more.Discover your principles,personality,and talents.Stop waiting for other people’s approval and start developing your own standards.Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener.

A Guide for Young People: What to Do with Your Life
You can’t figure out the future.Even young people who have a plan(be a doctor,lawyer,research scientist,singer) don’t really know what will happen.Life doesn’t go according to plans.So if you can’t figure out the future,what do you do?Don’t focus on the future.Focus on what you can do right now that will be good no matter what the future brings.________The best things in life are often hard,and if you shy away from difficulty,you’ll miss out.You’ll live a life of safety.Learning is hard.Building something great is hard.Writing a book is hard.A marriage is hard.Running a marathon is hard.All are amazing.How do you get good at this?Do things now that are uncomfortable and hard________ Starting a business,for example,is an amazing thing to do.But if you’re afraid of the unknown future,you’ll avoid it.You can’t know how things will turn out,and so if you need to know how things will turn out,you’ll avoid great projects,businesses,opportunities.But if you can be OK with not knowing,you will be open to many more possibilities.If you’re good at what you are not sure of,you could do all kinds of things.
3.________ Most people don’t realize that fear controls them.They don’t notice when they fail to fix their attention,or consider doing things they told themselves they wouldn’t do.It’s hard to change mental habits because you don’t always see what’s going on in your head.Learn about how your mind works,and you’ll be much better at all of this.
4.________ I don’t think money is that important,but it is necessary in your life.Making money is hard.You have to make someone believe in you enough to hire you or buy your products/service,which means you have to figure out why you’re worthy of someone believing in you.You have to become worthy.And you have to learn to communicate that to people so they’ll want to buy or hire you.Whether you’re selling cookies doortodoor or trying to get a job as a cashier,you have to do this.
5.________ If you do all of the above,or at least most of it,you’ll be amazing.You’ll be way,way ahead of pretty much every other person your age.And good fortune will come your way,if you have your eyes open: job opportunities,a chance to build something with someone,an idea for a startup that you can build yourself,a new thing to learn and turn into a business.Take risks—that’s one of the advantages of being young.And if none come along,create your own.

A.Try different new things.
B.Avoid “black and white thinking”.
C.Associate with optimistic people.
D.Make a plan to stop thinking negatively.
E.Understand the benefits of staying positive.
F.Adopt the motto “everything happens for a reason”.
Develop a positive attitude towards life
When you are going through a challenging time,people will just instruct you to think positively.More often than not,thinking positively proves a strategy for interpreting everything that happens to you in a useful,constructive way.If you want to know how to think more positively,just follow these tips.
1.________Choosing to think more positively will not only help you take control of your life and make your everyday experiences more pleasant,but it will have countless benefits on your mental and physical health as well as your ability to deal with change.Being aware of these benefits can help you be even more motivated to think positively on a regular basis.One of the most important benefits of positive thinking is that you are more likely to have better coping skills during times of stress.
2.________Don’t think everything you are faced with either is or it isn’t.In fact,there is what we call the shades of gray in life.Therefore,if something doesn’t turn out the way you want it to,make a list of all of the outcomes in between to see that things aren’t as serious as they seem.For example,if you get a late start on a paper and think you shouldn’t bother because you won’t finish it in time,consider the other possibilities.You could finish half the paper and still get a better grade than if you don’t turn it in.
3.________That means deciding to overcome the negativity that is going on around you—and there will always be plenty of it.Think of what you can do today that is good for you and others.Decide how you will react in ways that will make a difference to your life.Don’t let other people ruin your plan.People will often make things seem more important or worrisome than they really are.Making a plan to be more positive will already be a move in the right direction.This will help you to stay positive because you will feel a greater sense of control over your life and your choices.
4.________Experiencing a wide variety of life will do wonders.Stepping out of your comfort zone can often take you by surprise and knock those negative thoughts or black and white thoughts right back into their cave.Something as simple as trying a new food in a restaurant can lead to the discovery of new tastes and different feelings,along with the release of negative impressions.Visiting a new town,city,or country and see how other people view the world can help put a positive spin on your life.
5.________Optimism is infectious.If you want to be infected by optimism,you should spend time with people who can provide something of value.Look for the positives in other people too—finding what is good in people.Learn to praise people around you.Connect with people who have many passions and want to share them with you.Avoid seeing anyone with a negative outlook,unless you really care about that person and want to change their thoughts.If you tend to think negatively,you’ll be falling into a trap.

4.________School choice has become a serious educational problem.To solve this problem,we must stick to the balanced development.The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange the round hillock work among all the schools.
