题目列表(包括答案和解析)

  When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream.If the danger continues, it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as possible.

  Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited, angry, scared or aroused(冲动)by others' emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert(警惕的)and ready to react.We also get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger——or hit somebody——and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.

  Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings?No!If you keep your feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up(掩饰)inside, your body stays tense.Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.

  You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around.And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.

Never Put off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today

Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn’t? But it’s still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time. Here's why ...

61._________. The task will be still the same. It won’t be any more fun and you still won’t want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven’t started the work. And the stress increases. Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure.

62._________. Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what? You’re probably miscalculating. Get started — maybe on a small piece — and you'll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought. Result? You won’t experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to. Things are guaranteed —  100 percent —  to get better.

         63._______. If you leave your work until the night before it’s due, you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularly give advice — or at least a few useful tips — during office hours. Unfortunately v though, they don’t usually hold office hours at midnight, so you'll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.

64.________. Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it’s due? It’s because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research, for two weeks. No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time. After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it.

65._________. If you put things off till the last minute 9 you might find that you haven’t budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks. It’s the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it’ll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise — like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things — as you’re thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying, you don't allow yourself time for those various Life events that have an adverse (不利的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment.
