听力原文： [29] Moods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to be fixed, having effects on one's outlook for hours, days, weeks or even years. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.

Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modem pharmacy offers a lot of anti-anxiety drugs. [30]What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drag methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drags, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drug store—try the following method.

[30] Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits," says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beautv. Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise seem preferable to drags as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. [31] The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the consumption of oxygen. You may do them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.

B．They make people feel lonely and unwanted.

C．They affect one's health condition.

听力原文： Bad as well as good moods spice life and build character. The key is balance.

We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can hove some say in how long that emotion will last. Psychologist Dianne Tice of Case Western Reserve University asked more than 400 men and women about their strategies for escaping bad moods. Her research, along with that of other psychologists, provides valuable information on how to change a bad mood.

Of all the moods that people want to escape, rage seems to be the hardest to deal with. When someone in another car cuts you off on the highway, your thought may be, That jerk ! He could have hit me ! I can't let him get away with that! The more you stew, the angrier you get. Such is the stuff of hypertension and reckless driving.

What should you do to relieve rage？ One myth is that ventilating will make you feel better. In fact, researchers have found that's one of the worst strategies. Outbursts of rage pump up the brain's arousal system, leaving you much angrier, not less.

A more effective technique is "reframing," which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light. In the case of the driver who cuts you off, you might tell yourself: Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent ways, Tice found, to put anger to rest.

Going off alone to cool down is also an effective way to defuse anger, especially if you can not think clearly. Tice found that a large proportion of men cool down by going for a drive—a finding that inspired her to drive more defensively. A safer alternative is exercise, such as taking a long walk. Whatever you do, don't waste time pursuing your train of angry thoughts.

Your aim should be to distract yourself.

The techniques of reframing and distraction can alleviate depression and anxiety as well as anger. Add to them such relaxation techniques as deep breathing and meditation and you have a store of weapons against bad moods. "Praying, "Dianne Tice also says, "works for all moods."

A．We can take control when we are swept by emotion.

B．We can control the length of time emotion lasts.

C．We can find the cause of emotion.

D．We can prevent bad emotions from happening.

听力原文： In many stressful situations the body's responses can improve our performance. We become more energetic, more alert, better able to take effective action. But when stress is encountered continually, the body's reactions are more likely to be harmful than helpful to us. The continual speeding up of bodily reactions and the production of stress-related hormones seem to make people more susceptible to heart disease.

And stress reactions can reduce the disease-fighting effectiveness of body's immune system, thereby increasing susceptibility to illnesses, ranging from colds to cancer. Stress may also contribute to disease in less direct ways by influencing moods and behavior. People, under stress, may become anxious or depressed and as a result may eat too much or too little, have sleep difficulties, or fail to exercise. These behavioral changes may in turn be harmful to their health. In addition, people are more likely to pay attention to certain bodily sensations such as aches and pains when they are under stress and to think they are sick. If the person were not under stress, the same bodily sensations might not be perceived as symptoms and the person might continue to feel well. Some researchers have suggested that assuming the role of a sick person is one way in which certain people try to cope with stress. Instead of dealing with the stressful situation directly, these people fall sick. After all, it is often more acceptable in our society to be sick and to seek medical help than it is to admit that one cannot cope with the stresses of life.

Q. 15. What does the speaker say about people who encounter stress once in a while？

Q. 16.What does the speaker say about the consequence frequent stress reactions may lead to？

Q. 17.What are people more likely to do when they are under stress？

(35)

A．Their performance may improve.

B．Their immune system may be reinforced.

C．Their blood pressure may rise all of a sudden.

D．Their physical development may be enhanced.

听力原文：M: I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life--whatever

your status, married or single. I see too many lonely people work around. A lot of us get so involved with material values, family problems etc., that we forget the real meaning of friendship.

W: Which is what, according to you？

M: They say 'a friend in need is a friend indeed', which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments--without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don't feel hurt if a friend doesn't feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for who they are.

W: As a married man, do you find your friendships are only with other men？

M: Of course not! Both my wife and I have men and women friends -- thank goodness. Although family life is fulfilling, it isn't enough! Both, my wife and I get tremendous satisfaction from our friends, married and single, male and female -- and we both have our separate friends too. We'd get bored with each other if we had the same friends!

W: You must have a full life.

M: We certainly do! And as I say, our friends give us a lot of plea- sure. After all, friends should not be people with whom you kill time. Real friendship, in my opinion, is a 'spiritually developing' experience.

(20)

A．One where you can accept and forgive faults.

B．One where you understand moods.

C．One where you chat.

D．One where you don't feel hurt if a friend doesn't feel like seeing you.
