（新话题·志愿服务之心理健康）
Are you emotional (情绪激动的)? Do you often have strong feelings? How do you deal with bad emotions?
We feel angry or unhappy about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad moods (情绪). But neither unhappiness nor anger can help us. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders.
These bad moods don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually learning about your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?

By thinking about our bad moods, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relaxation. Instead, there are better ways to deal with them. One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅).
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad moods inside. We must also forgive others who have made us unhappy or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.
There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. When you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your life.
21．How does the writer begin the text?
A．By telling a story. B．By listing differences.
C．By showing facts. D．By asking questions.
22．What should you do first to deal with the bad moods?
A．Ask others questions. B．Study your moods.
C．Try to live without them. D．Keep them in your mind.
23．What is a right way to deal with bad emotions according to the text?
A．Forgiving ourselves and others. B．Keeping bad moods inside.
C．Sharing bad moods with others. D．Finding good emotions to replace them.
24．What does the underlined word “abandon” mean?
A．Put away. B．Give up. C．Stay with. D．Carry on.
25．What is the best title for the text?
A．How to Forgive Others B．How to Deal with Bad Emotions
C．How to Forgive Our Own Mistakes D．How to Become an Energetic Person

（新话题·科技发明之信息整合）
Science shows why we trust people who are confident. Imagine this: one person tells a lie confidently, while another says something true in a hesitant voice. Which person would you trust?
According to British scientist Dean Burnett, humans are far more likely to believe information expressed confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language.
“Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is a known thing,” wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine. “When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things, confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on better information, which decides the decision. ”
Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals. In our ancient past, most of our information about the world came from our tribe (部落), in other words, the people around us. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying “There’s a tiger coming”, believing what that person said could save our lives.
On a more personal level, we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. That’s how our brain works. When we are confident, it’s for good reason. Therefore, we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too.
However, we need to realize that confidently expressed information may be more persuasive (有说服力的), but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. As Burnett wrote, we are living in a more and more different world. Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to “unexpected results”.
26．Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined word “hesitant” in Paragraph 1?
A．Confident. B．Excited. C．Active. D．Uncertain.
27．How did the writer start this passage?
A．By asking a question. B．By listing the facts.
C．By telling a story. D．By offering a suggestion.
28．Which of the following person will people be most likely to trust?
A．The person who is from the tribe.
B．The person who says “There’s a tiger coming” in a hesitant voice.
C．The person who tells a lie confidently.
D．The person who says something true uncertainly.
29．What can be learned from this passage?
A．Confidently expressed information is correct.
B．We should trust every confident people without checking the facts.
C．We use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say.
D．Confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on worse information.
30．What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A．To advise people to tell lies confidently.
B．To ask people to live in the tribe.
C．To explain why we trust people who are confident.
D．To show why people make friends with confident people.
