26、I am a cognitive behavioral hypnotherapist (认知行为治疗师). I started my practice from sleep disorders, and soon came to realize how strongly loneliness was linked with poor sleep. I’ve focused on my skills and understanding of loneliness in order to know how I could best serve my patients.
Loneliness is an emotion. We probably all experience it at some point, but loneliness is very complicated and unique to each of us. There’s a big difference between loneliness and solitude (独处). Being alone is a choice, while feeling lonely isn’t something we force ourselves. You want to be around people, but something is making you feel unwanted or empty, so you’re not having the meaningful connection you seek.
When you’re feeling lonely over a long period of time, it becomes a chronic (慢性的) problem. It can finally turn into a mental and physical health problem, and can be a symptom or cause of depression. It can affect self-respect. You might turn to food and not feel like to exercise, as chronic loneliness is linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, obesity and even dementia (痴呆).
To manage loneliness, you need to accept it. Loneliness is one of the most common feelings people have. Don’t brush it under the carpet, as that doesn’t help solve the problem. Seek joy in little things, like smelling a flower or a walk in nature. Celebrate each small achievement. When you decide to change things and seek a connect in with others, consider ale-minded group. A patient of mine joined a sewing group and it was very successful.
The best way to help somebody who is lonely is to sensitively ask how they are and what they’re doing, and listen to the answer in a non-judgmental way. If you want to invite them to do something with you, do it. If they say no, don’t be discouraged from asking again. They might need time before feeling ready to say yes.
【1】Why does the author focus on loneliness?
A.To do research on patients’ sleep disorders.
B.To find out the true reason for loneliness.
C.To provide better service for patients.
D.To help poor sleepers gain a better sleep.
【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Accepting loneliness is the only cure.
B.Hiding loneliness turns out to be unwise.
C.Joining a sewing group proves successful.
D.Meeting people with common interests won’t help.
【3】If you want to help your friend Tom who is lonely, what will you do?
A.Invite him later again though he has refused.
B.Leave him alone for fear of disturbing him.
C.Tell him right from wrong after listening to him carefully.
D.Ask about his conditions publicly when noticing him in a bad mood.
【4】What do we know about loneliness according to the text?
A.Loneliness is a choice that people can choose by themselves.
B.Loneliness is a factor that can influence yourself-reflection.
C.Loneliness is a serious problem that can cause dementia directly.
D.Loneliness is a complicated emotion that people may all experience.
27、 The key to losing weight is to understand what really drive you to do so. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? If so, you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination. 【1】
Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. 【2】 Ask questions like: Do I have to buy special meals or supplements? Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?
Get real. Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal. 【3】 Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.
Stay balanced. 【4】 Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.
【5】 It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don’t get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture. Once a week is fine.
A.Weigh yourself weekly.
B.Stick with your healthy eating plan.
C.Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations.
D.Being well-informed will help you choose the best diet for you.
E.And to keep your weight under control, you need some strategies.

29、A parent posted on Reddit last week that her son’s school is now “zero waste”. In order to save money on the trash(垃圾) service, school leaders have taken away the trash cans. She wrote, “They are not taking any other method to reduce waste; they are just preventing the children from using the trash can. All their lunch waste must go home with them in their lunch box.”
Reactions were quick and fierce, with 333 people commenting on the thread that is now closed. Some supported the original(最初的) poster, saying they’d tell their kids to throw the trash on the floor if trash cans weren’t provided. Most, however, challenged the parent's perspective, telling her that this isn't a bad thing and sharing their own experiences of schools and day camps that have been zero waste for years.
One advised, “Get a lunch bag and then pack small bread sticks, cut fruits, pasta salads etc and then use a reusable bag for sandwiches.”
Another said, “My kid's school is zero waste. Always has been. They bring their lunch waste home. It's never been a thing. If anything, it makes me a bit more mindful of how school lunches are packed.”
My children's school has always told us to pack waste—free lunches, but trash cans are still being used. I do think, though, that their presence is a crutch(拐杖) of sorts. Until we are truly forced to fight with the waste produced by our habits, we won't be active to change them.
By forcing kids to take their trash home, the school is not creating a real problem for kids and parents, just an inconvenience, because they all have trash cans at home. But the movement does need to start from the bottom, perhaps within individual classrooms at first, before being put upon tired, overworked parents.
【1】How did the parent feel when writing the post?
A.Confused.
B.Angry.
C.Satisfied.
D.Hopeful.
【2】What does the underlined word “perspective” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Patience.
B.Behavior.
C.Opinion.
D.Intelligence
【3】What advice is mentioned in the passage?
A.Taking the right amount of food.
B.Sharing the lunch with other students.
C.Thinking of good ways to pack the lunch.
D.Encouraging children to eat up the lunch.
【4】Why does the author think of the trash cans as a crutch?
A.People can't live without trash cans.
B.They are of great use in our daily life.
C.They help people develop a zero—waste lifestyle.
D.Their presence allows the possibility of wasting.
