26、Why stress and anxiety aren’t always bad

People generally think of stress and anxiety as negative concepts, but while both stress and anxiety can reach unhealthy levels, psychologists have long known that both are unavoidable - and that they often play a helpful, not harmful role in our daily lives, according to a presentation at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association.

“Many Americans now feel stressed about being stressed and anxious about being anxious,” said Lisa Damour, PhD, a private-practice psychologist who presented at the meeting.

Stress usually occurs when people operate at the edge of their abilities - when they push themselves or are forced by circumstances to stretch beyond their familiar limits, according to Damour. 【1】. For instance, being fired is stressful but so is bringing a baby home for the first time.

“It’s important for psychologists to share our knowledge about stress with broad audiences that stress is a given in daily life, that working at the edge of our abilities often builds those capacities and that moderate levels of stress can actually have an inoculating (预防的) function, which leads to higher than average resilience (适应力) when we are faced with new difficulties,” she said.

【2】. “As all psychologists know, anxiety is an internal alarm system, likely handed down by evolution, that alerts us to threats both external - such as a driver swerving (急转弯) in a nearby lane - and internal - such as after a too long delay, it’s time to get started on our work,” said Damour.

Viewing anxiety as sometimes helpful and protective allows people to make good use of it. For example, Damour said she often tells the teenagers she works with in her practice to pay attention if they start to feel anxious at a party because their nerves may be alerting them to a problem.

【3】. Stress can become unhealthy if it is chronic (allowing for no possibility of recovery) or if it is traumatic(创伤的).

“In other words, stress causes harm when it exceeds any level that a person can reasonably absorb or use to build psychological strength,” she said. 【4】. Sometimes, people feel routinely anxious for no reason at all. At other times, the alarm is totally out of proportion to the threat, such as when a student has a panic attack over a minor quiz.”

A．Anxiety, too, gets some unnecessarily criticism, according to Damour

B．Unfortunately, by the time someone reaches out to a professional for help, stress and anxiety have already built to unhealthy levels

C．That doesn’t mean that stress and anxiety can’t be harmful, said Damour

D．Anyone feeling overwhelmed by stress should, if possible, take measures to reduce his or her stress

E．It’s also important to understand that stress can result from both bad and good events

F．Likewise, anxiety becomes unhealthy when its alarm makes no sense

27、When I woke up on September 1st, there was only one thing on my mind: what to wear. I didn’t want to come off as trying too hard, but I also didn’t want to be seen as a lazy and an untidy person. Not only was it my first day of high school, but it was my first day of school in a new state. It was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next few years with.

After meticulously searching my closet, I proudly came out in a dress. The soft cotton was comfortable, and the ruffled shoulders added a bit of fun. Yes, this outfit was the one. An hour later, I felt powerful as I headed toward Room 1136. But as I entered, my jaw dropped.

Sitting at her desk was Mrs. Hutfilz, my English teacher, wearing exactly the same dress as me. I kept my head down and tiptoed (蹑手蹑脚地走) to my seat. I made it through my minute introduction speech until she stood up, jokingly adding that she liked my style. Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly melted away, and the students paid attention as I shared my story. My smile grew as I laughed with the students. After class, I stayed behind and talked to Mrs. Hutfilz, relieved to make a humorous and real connection.

Looking back, the ten minutes I spent being afraid of giving my speech was really not worth it. My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs. Hutfilz had an awesome sense of style!

28、   A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength, durability and sensitivity. The skin or e-skin may play an important role in next-generation personalized medicine, soft robotics and artificial intelligence.

“The ideal e-skin will mimic the many natural functions of human skin, such as sensing temperature and touch, accurately and in real time,” says leading researcher Yichen Cai. However, making suitably flexible electronics that can perform such delicate tasks while also used repeatedly is challenging, and each material involved must be carefully engineered.

Most e-skins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to human skin. However, the connection between them is often too weak, which reduces the durability and sensitivity of the material; otherwise, if it is too strong, it won't be flexible enough, making it more likely to break the circuit.

“The landscape of skin electronics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace,” says Cai. “The discovery of 2D sensors has accelerated efforts to turn these quite thin but strong materials into functional, durable artificial skins. ”

The new man-made skin built by the researchers could sense objects from 20 centimeters away. It could further make a quick response when touched in less than one tenth of a second. “It is a striking achievement for an e-skin to maintain toughness after repeated use,” said Shen, “which mimics the softness and rapid recovery of human skin.”

This type of e-skin could monitor a range of biological information, such as changes in blood pressure, which can be detected from movements of arms and legs. This data can then be shared and stored on the cloud via Wi-Fi.

“One remaining problem to the widespread use of e-skins lies in mass production of high-resolution sensors,” adds group leader Vincent Tung, “however, the latest technology offers new promise.”

【1】What’s the special thing of the new e-skin?

A．It is flexible and sensitive.

B．It is almost the same as human skin.

C．It has flexible and durable electronics.

D．It has been proved important in areas like AI.

【2】What can the new e-skin do?

A．It can rapidly react to touches.

B．It can serve as a remote controller.

C．It can recover the wounded skin quickly.

D．It can adjust human’s temperature.

【3】What does the underlined word “striking” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Slight.

B．Noticeable.

C．Well-known.

D．Insignificant.

【4】What will be probably talked about in the following paragraphs?

A．Other problems of the new e-skins.

B．The wide use of the new e-skins in many areas.

C．The new technology of mass production of high-resolution sensors.

D．The process of producing the high-resolution sensors on a large scale.

29、The health benefits of gardening

Someone argues that it wastes trouble and time to plant and grow things just for some vegetables and flowers. However, it offers us a lot. 【1】 There are also more advantages.

It’s a fun workout. It’s wonderful to get out in the garden on a beautiful day. Planting seeds, pulling up weeds and other gardening tasks actually provide a whole-body workout for adults over 65 years old. 【2】 Thus, it might keep your interest longer than traditional exercise.

It sharpens your mind. 【3】 Researchers once measured the part of brain related to memory and found the participants, all seniors, had their levels of memory increased greatly after they created a vegetable garden.

It benefits your heart and weight. Gardening can contribute to reducing the risk of a heart attack by 30 percent. That is because “playing in the dirt” helps reduce stress. In addition, one goal of doing exercises is to stay in shape. 【4】 According to an American research, gardeners have a significantly lower the risk of being overweight or obese than non-gardeners.

【5】 An experiment conducted by NASA found that planting and nurturing seeds improved astronauts’ moods and eased their stress in the outer space. Since gardening can do that for astronauts, it can also benefit us.

A．It lifts your spirit.

B．It is a professional practice.

C．Gardening can help achieve it.

D．Gardening provides a workout for your brain.

E．Young children, even adults, enjoy playing in the dirt.

F．Even better, whatever your age, it is an activity with a potential harvest.

G．Working in a garden can improve your immune system, helping you stay fit.
