【題目】 When your friend has a bad day, what will you do to comfort him or her? Hugging can help them feel better, Time reported.

According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US, hugs can be good for a person’s mood and stress levels. Hugging can increase positive(積極的)feelings and reduce negative(消極的)feelings.

Researchers talked to about 400 people. They asked them about their mood, whether they had any conflicts(沖突)with others and if they had a hug that day.

They found that when people experienced conflicts but didn’t get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings.

When you receive a hug, your body releases a certain hormone(荷爾蒙). This hormone lowers blood pressure, as well as reduces stress and anxiety(焦慮), Michael Murphy from Carnegie Melon told Time.

Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve the other person’s problems directly. However, doing these things might make people feel like they’re being criticized(批評), But physical contact like hugging “makes people feel like they are cared about and have someone who is there for them,” Murphy said. “But that doesn’t make any judgmentsabout right or wrong.”

這篇短文主要講述了擁抱對人的情緒和壓力水平都有好處。擁抱可以增加積極的感覺,減少消極的感覺。

1題干“根據(jù)時間,什么能改善一個人的情緒?”根據(jù)文中“ hugs can be good for a persons mood and stress levels.”可知,擁抱可以改善某人的情緒。故答案為Hugs can improve someone’s mood.

2題干“研究人員詢問了大約400人的情緒嗎?”根據(jù)文中“Researchers talked to about 400 people.”可知,這里是做肯定回答。Yes, they did是的,他們是。根據(jù)題意,故答案為(1). Yes (2). they did.

3根據(jù)文中“They found that when people experienced conflicts but didnt get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings.”他們發(fā)現(xiàn),當人們經(jīng)歷沖突但沒有得到擁抱時,他們會報告更多的負面情緒。但當人們在同一天同時擁有這兩種情緒時,他們報告的積極情緒更多,消極情緒更少。?芍@里的both指的是“(有)沖突和(得到)擁抱!。故答案為(havingconflicts andgettinghugs.

4題干“Michael Murphy是做什么的?”根據(jù)文中“According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US”可知,Michael Murphy是美國卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學的科學家。故答案為a scientistform Carnegie Mellon University in the US.

5題干“除了擁抱,你認為還有什么方法可以安慰別人?”根據(jù)文中“Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve he other persons problems directly.”可知,當然,擁抱并不是安慰別人的唯一方式。人們有時給別人提建議或嘗試直接解決別人的問題。故答案為giving advice or trying to solve the other person’s problems directly.

6題干“你經(jīng)常做什么來幫助你的朋友,當他/她有一個糟糕的一天?”我經(jīng)常和他交談;和他一塊出去;聽他講他的麻煩。故答案為I often have a talk with him. /I often go out with him./I often hear him/her telling his trouble ..

【題目】 Swimming across the English Channel—the 21-mile-long channel between southern England and northern France--- is not an easy thing. Besides the strong ocean currents(洋流),swimmers also have to face temperatures that can change from 18°C to 6°C. However, don’t tell that to Sarah Thomas. The 37-year-old American woman recently became the first person ever to swim the English Channel four times without stop.

What makes Thomas even greater is that just a year ago, in 2018, she survived (幸存)serious illness. She said that fighting the strong currents was hard. “But even worse is dealing with the saltwater … it really hurts your throat(咽喉), your mouth and your tongue,” she said.

Thomas’s journey began just past midnight on Sunday, September 15, 2019. The swim was about 80 miles at the beginning. However, strong currents add the total distance by about 50 miles. When Thomas came out from the water at 6: 30 am local time on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, she was in the water for 54 hours and 13 minutes and swam a total of 133 miles!

There was a ship with GPS and computers to record wind, tides and currents with Thomas all the time. It guided her through the water. Her mother and husband were on the ship. During her swimming, Thomas took a rest every 30 to 60 minutes.

A.EnglandB.FranceC.AmericaD.Japan
