1 . It is natural for us teenagers to feel upset.     1     Here I am offering some useful suggestions.

•Move your body.

    2     Have you ever noticed that you feel happier and have a sense of achievement after a good workout? That’s because working out creates endorphins — body chemicals that make us feel happy. No matter how low you are feeling, your mood will get a well-deserved boost (改善) after a workout. Exercise also helps you keep your heart in shape, makes you stronger and helps you stay at a healthy weight. And exercise is totally fun — and it’s great for your self-esteem, too.

•Talk about it.

    3     Friends’ ears can be a great source of support since you’re all in the same boat. And don’t forget your mom — she was once a teenager as well and may understand more than you realize. Even talking to your pet can help — just saying things out loud can help you see things differently and calm you down.

•Laugh a lot.

Humour can rescue you from an upset moment or make you feel better when you’re in an unpleasant mood. No matter what’s going on, the ability to laugh at yourself and your situation is really important.     4     It’s true! Using your smile muscles tells your brain to make more endorphins and that boosts your mood.

•Cry — it’s okay!

Sometimes the only way to get out of your feelings is to cry — so go ahead! Shut yourself in your room and cry your eyes out! No one says you have to be happy all the time.     5    

A．Why not pack up your suitcase and take a trip?

B．We can’t say enough good things about exercise.

C．But still we should find ways to manage our feelings.

D．So smile at whatever is happening and choose to be happy.

E．And do you know just smiling can help better your mood?

F．When you are done, you’ll be ready to face the world again.

G．Don’t hold in all those feelings until you are ready to explode.

Dear Sally, Thanks for your letter. It was great to     1     you. You asked me to tell you     2     my favorite day of the week. Well, it’s definitely Friday.

One     3     I like Fridays is because I have my favorite subjects at school: PE and chemistry. Chemistry’s great because we do experiments in the science lab and our teacher, Mr. King, is so funny. In PE we     4     play basketball, which is my favorite sport. I’m good at it because I’m quite tall. Our team always     5    .

We also have French on Fridays, which is actually my least favorite subject, but after that we have ICT which is much     6    . At the moment I’m     7     a webpage for our basketball team. After school I hang out with my friends, then in the evening I play football at the sports center. On Friday nights we sometimes go to someone’s house for a party     8     to watch a film. We can relax a bit on Friday evenings because there     9     no school on Saturday.

Tell     10     about your favorite day in your next letter. Write soon.

Love,

Dann

6 . Never Think You’re Too Old to Become a Beginner

As we head into a new year, there is one thing from the outgoing disastrous year we should carry forward and even deepen: the spirit of the beginner.

Many people, in the face of such disorder, decided that they wanted to learn new things. But there’s a warning: The older you are, the harder you’re going to have to work. There’s a happy twist (扭转), however:     1    , the faster they seem to learn — the more they become like younger adults.

How, then, to prepare ourselves to become better beginners? We can draw crucial guidance from a group of research subjects:     2    .

For adults, the lessons are clear.     3    . Babies spend roughly a third of their day for six solid months practicing walking. So don’t worry if you’re still terrible at tennis after a few months.

Babies also remind us that progress is often not a straight process. Babies seem to learn best when operating near the limits of their current skill level. In other words:     4    .

    5    . If it feels easy, you’re not learning. If you don’t learn to fail, you’ll fail to learn. So let “beginner” be your watchword for 2024. But watch for overreach in your resolutions.

A．None of this is easy

B．Babies learning to walk

C．One problem is that skills take time

D．Adults who have great achievements

E．The more older adults have experienced

F．The more learning that older adults take on

G．Always be at the edge of what you can’t currently do

Therefore, the couple decided to bring Isabella to the hospital as they _______ something was wrong with their baby girl. Unfortunately, the doctors were _______ at the baby girl’ s condition.

The couple went straight to their doctors to ________ Isabella’s case and the surgery but every doctor they spoke to was not positive about the surgery. They ________ that the surgery could cause more harm to Isabella. Libby and Joseph thought hard about their choice. Finally, they decided to go to the hospital for the risky but ________ surgery.
