26、When he moved from South Africa to New York City, Norman Rosenthal noticed he felt more depressed during the cold, short days of the city’s winters than he had in his home country.
“It was an illness hiding in plain sight because people said ‘well, that’s how everyone feels in winter.’ They didn’t see it as treatable,” says Rosenthal, a world-famous researcher at Georgetown Medical School. In 1984, he published the first paper to scientifically name the winter blues-Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also called seasonal depression. It was a type of depression brought on by the dark days of winter.
Mental health experts say there are solutions to treat SAD. The first treatment that may have longer lasting benefits is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a form of talk treatment that Rohan, a heath expert recommends for treating SAD. “Negative (消极的) thinking will produce negative emotions, and we want to change those into slightly less negative, more neutral (中立的) thoughts,” she says of the CBT approach. For example, “I hate winter.” might be replaced as “Winter isn’t my favorite season, but I still find things to enjoy.”
Finding wintertime hobbies may also help. “People with SAD often have hobbies and interests that are summer specific-growing gardens, beach going,” Rohan says. Instead of hibernating (冬眠) under a blanket, she suggests those people find indoor hobbies to enjoy-knitting, joining a book club or going to the gym. Exercising, learning ways to manage stress or planning a sunny vacation during the winter can all help to improve your mood.
Rosenthal stresses that there’s no reason to not seek mind health treatment, even if symptoms (症状) are only present for a few months out of the year.
【1】What can be inferred about Norman Rosenthal?
A.He is the first to describe SAD.
B.He was suffering from SAD in 1984.
C.His paper about SAD is on his own experience.
D.His life in South Africa contributes to SAD research.
【2】What does the first solution intend to do?
A.Make people follow their heart.
B.Improve people’s talking skills.
C.Help people change negative thinking.
D.Get rid of people’s wrong idea of SAD.
【3】What do we learn from paragraph 4?
A.People with SAD don’t grow gardens.
B.Lifestyle changes are useful for mind health.
C.Managing stress depends on people’s preference.
D.Winter is a good time to improve people’s mood.
27、The Memory Box is my fifth book, which begins the story with a simple image of an old lady, Jenny, celebrating her 100 birthday in the care home where she lives. However, instead of being with friends and family, she’s in the company of strangers. Jenny has outlived everybody she has ever loved and it is to her young carer, Candice, that she turns when going through her memory box. As Jenny gently touches the smooth stone, picked up off a faraway beach a lifetime ago, she realizes there is one last journey she must make. She knows it will be painful but if she can talk Candice into accompanying her, she will get through it.
As a writer, I try to keep to a writing routine (常规;惯例) similar to the common working week and am always at my desk by ten at the latest. I know this is not everybody’s idea of an early start. Then, I will go through the various writing work, followed by reading and editing what I wrote the day before. I set myself a target (目标) of 1,000 words a day and, while some days I may achieve many more than this, on other days it’s a right old slog and I can hardly pass the 200 mark.
Many moons ago, I attended a wing group. There, I got the best piece of writing advice from my teacher. She told us to employ the BOSHOK method, which stands for Bum On Seat, Hands On Keyboard. Or in my case, often, Bum On Set, Head On Knees. It basally means, just get on with it. She would always say, “The best advice I can offer to those who want to be writers is a quote from Elmore Leonard, ‘Try not to write the parts people tend to skip (跳过).’ Say it all really.”
【1】What is the first Paragraph mainly about?
A.A review of The Memory Box.
B.An introduction to The Memory Box.
C.The last journey of old lady Jenny.
D.A life story about old lady Jenny.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “a right old slog” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Simple but boring work.
B.Easy and time-saving work.
C.Demanding but interesting work.
D.Challenging and effort-taking work.
【3】Who may be the target readers of this passage?
A.Reading lovers.
B.Young carers.
C.Writing strugglers.
D.Group leaders.

32、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mrs. Oreille was a very economical woman to the point that even her husband was hardly allowed any pocket money. Although they lived a rich and comfortable life, it really pained Mrs. Oreille to see any money spent. Whenever she had to spend anything, no matter how necessary it might be, she slept badly the next night. Her husband, Mr. Oreille, was continually saying to his wife, “You really need to be more generous. You see, we never get to enjoy our income.” “It is better to have too much than too little.” She used to reply to that. She was a little woman of about forty, very active, very neat and tidy, and with a very bad temper(脾气).
Mr. Oreille frequently complained about his wife. For two years, he had always come to his office with the same old patched umbrella, which amused his colleagues a lot. At last he got so tired of their jokes that he insisted on his wife buying him a new one, a good silk one, for twenty francs. He also asked her to bring him the bill, so that he could see that its quality was all right. She bought him one for eighteen francs, and said, getting red with anger as she gave it to her husband, “This will last you for five years at least.” Mr. Oreille felt quite achievable, and received a small applause at the office with his new umbrella. His colleagues even very much envied him!
When he went home in the evening, his wife said to him, “You must take care of your umbrella well, for I shall never buy you a new one again.” She took it to put it away safe, but suddenly was shocked with anger.
