21、I began a new job in a new city six months ago. Big moments of changing like this have a way of dragging up deep, hidden fears we don’t face in our longer periods of stability. 【1】 .I was constantly losing sleep, had lots of panicky doubt, and even some regret when I thought about the job I just left.
Change is risk. Our primitive brains translate risk into danger, and our survival as a species depends on avoiding it. Though philosopher Nietzsche famously said, “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger”, the risk that it could kill you can easily cause anxiety. 【2】 . Me, no exception.
Unluckily, there are always big changes we must face at some point. 【3】 . The first thing I did when I doubted myself and my decision to take a new job and move to a new city was talk to people who know and care about me. So blinded was I by change-caused anxiety that I had lost sight of my common sense. I reached out to my friends and my old boss. They gave me so much good advice that I wrote it down and referred to it often in those early weeks.
【4】 . Simply thinking about the past challenges where you came out on top is a reminder that you will do so this time as well. Sometimes our greatest difficulties become our greatest moments of success.
Change, while requiring adjustment—sometimes painful adjustment—often finds its way back to balance. Change and struggle are usually the only ways to get to someplace better. 【5】 . So, the sooner you discover what helps you adjust, restart, and succeed during change, the easier it will be to bag the next peak.
A.Crisis is also opportunity
B.Change also never goes away
C.I also managed to learn from the past
D.That’s how species and individuals live together
E.I managed poorly at the beginning of this change
F.That’s why we are so restless when faced with changes
G.That means finding the wisdom that helps us make the change
22、There is an English saying: “【1】“ Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 【2】
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 【3】 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 【4】
【5】 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A.Laughter can prolong one’s life.
B.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.
C.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
D.It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.
E.Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still cannot put this theory into clinic practice.
F.Laughter is the best medicine.
G.They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
23、There are some skills for students to listen to teacher in class, which means you're going to have to practice it. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? 【1】
One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn't wander(漫游). It's easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you're not interested in the subject. 【2】
Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you'll feel tired and bored. 【3】 Not only does this show respect(尊重)to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. 【4】 Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn't be. It can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.
Finally, you need to take notes because you can not remember everything the teacher says. You'll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class. 【5】 Listening isn't always easy, but if you follow these simple steps, you'll be much more successful in your classes.
A.Here are some suggestions.
B.You'll also need to look at the teacher.
C.It might be a friend who is trying to pass you a note.
D.Taking notes also makes you pay attention to the class.
E.So make yourself pay attention to what the teacher is saying.
F.You will obey the rules.
G.It's not necessary for you to make notes.
