Ways to Stop Worrying

A little worrying now and then can be self-protective.    1     But too much worrying can lead to many problems, such as reduced concentration, poor sleeping habits and the inability to handle everyday difficulties. What’s more, it may also cause physical health problems, such as high blood pressure.

Here are some tips to help you lighten up and enjoy life more.


1. Note down your worries

Writing in a worry journal helps create some distance between you and your concerns. Write down your thoughts briefly every day, perhaps the first thing in the morning, before you start your regular routine.    2    


2. Pack away your worries

    3     Imagine tucking (塞) away your anxieties in a small box and closing the lid (盖子). Set aside some time each day to open the box and examine your worries, but otherwise, keep it closed.


3. Share your worries with a friend

Don’t be embarrassed.    4     Then, he or she may give you some practical suggestions. Telling someone your fears helps lift the burden of worry and gives your friends a chance to offer comforting thoughts.


4.    5    

Select a quiet spot in your home where you can focus on your worries without being interrupted (打扰). Stay there every day for 10 to 20 minutes. Make sure you maintain a strict time limit and try to avoid worrying except when you’re in your designated (指定的) “worry space”.

A.Create a personal worry space.
B.See worries from a different perspective.
C.Talk to your friend about your worries.
D.If journal writing isn’t for you, create a “worry box” in your mind.
E.Spend about 15 minutes just writing and reflecting on what is bothering you.
F.Check with your local health centre about programs to stop worrying in your area.
G.Without anxiety you probably wouldn’t lock your door at night or schedule your regular check-up.

【推荐1】Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

【推荐2】Loneliness is all about feeling isolated, but it's actually quite common. In general, there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. It is the most common type but usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, such as, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is chronic (the opposite of “temporary”). Being the most severe, it usually lasts for more than two years and is often connected with serious illnesses.
An important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts. Through social contacts, we get emotional support and guidance from our parents and teachers and share similar interests and activities with our friends. However, some lonely people almost make no contacts with people around them and feel apart from those who they supposedly know well. They just see themselves as outsiders. On the other hand, some lonely people may have enough social contacts, but they rarely enjoy the contacts and question their popularity, thinking of themselves as someone powerless. So loneliness is closely related to the quality of those social relationship in addition to the quantity.
Loneliness is tough, but something can be done to cope with it. First, take time to accept that you are suffering from loneliness. Then, contact your old friends or visit relatives to spend quality time with others. Besides, pick up a hobby to reduce your feelings of loneliness, such as taking up needle work, joining craft classes, or attending lectures. You can also beat loneliness by volunteering at a nursing home, hospital, church or pet rescue organization. This not only helps you get in touch with people from all walks of life, but also makes you feel good about yourself. In a word, if you take a correct attitude towards loneliness and get involved with people around you, you are sure to get over it.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“遗憾”的定义,并通过Jay的经历来说明处理“遗憾”的方法。

【推荐3】In the early 1990s, my friend Jay was working for IBM and made a good salary.Later, Jay declined an offer from an interesting but small organization because of the low pay.He has regretted it ever since.That small company was Microsoft.

Regret is a reaction to a disappointing event in your life, such as a choice you made that can't be changed, or something you said that you can't take back.It's a heavy and negative emotion connected to pity, sorrow and helplessness and can last for minutes, days, years or even a lifetime.Regret can increase your stress and throw off the balance of immune (免疫) systems.

Fortunately, regret can be overcome through interventions.As a psychologist at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, I conducted a research on stressful emotions.In the research, we found people would experience regret for action or inaction.The action-related regrets, although painful, stimulate people to learn from their mistakes and move on.But the regret related to the inaction is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety.Avoiding or denying regret only can increase negative feelings and extend the time people suffer with them.Rather than stay stuck, people can manage these emotions in four steps:First, accept the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them; and finally, release them and move forward.

In Jay's case, at first he pushed away his feelings of regret.He continued to struggle with thoughts of what he missed.He did not change until he approached and explored his feelings of regret.Eventually he accepted the fact and reminded himself of his rationale at the time- he failed to recognize the potential of Microsoft.On making future decisions,Jay recognized the importance of obtaining information about opportunities and challenged himself to learn about the big players in the field.Doing so allowed him to move on and ultimately forgive himself.

1. What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on about regret?
A.Its condition.
B.Its definition.
C.Its variation.
D.Its consequence.
2. What does the finding of the research indicate?
A.Regret can disappear itself.
B.Intervention increases pains.
C.Avoidance may relieve stress.
D.Acceptance helps manage regret.
3. What does the underlined word“rationale”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Reason.B.Puzzle.C.Concern.D.Emotion.
4. Why is Jay's experience mentioned?
A.To attract more attention to mental diseases.
B.To raise awareness of psychological health.
C.To demonstrate negative effects of regret.
D.To justify the approach to tackling regret.
