3 .     1    

Have you heard statements like “If you love me, you would do this for me” or “You should be ashamed of yourself”？Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone, or if someone wants a favor of you.

Guilt is a destructive (毁灭性的) emotion that is a waste of time.     2     To overcome guilt from your life, use the following steps：

Know the past can’t be changed.

Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past, you can’t remove or change it by feeling guilty. If you cry and shout, you will not make the past different. It is better to concentrate on the present.     3    

    4    

If you hurt someone while not meaning it, apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself. What happened in the past will teach you a lesson, so you won't repeat it again, but it is important to forgive yourself.

Let the people you deal with know you are not easy to feel guilty.

If your boss gives you a hard time because you don’t work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty, then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine. I will get the award next time.”

    5     Don’t deny guilt or run away from it. Analyze it and deal with it. No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty, you are not going to be able to change it.

A．You have to face guilt to overcome it.

B．Try to learn from your experience.

C．Do something useful to improve your life and your future.

D．Don't let anyone make you feel guilty.

E．So you should learn to remove guilt.

F．Someone has disappointed you.

G．It is not important to apologize.

4 . All day long, litter builds up between brain cells.A study now finds that trash(垃圾)is washed away by fluids in the brain during sleep.That's potentially good news because such garbage(废物) includes a substance linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Evidence of this brain washing emerged in a study on mice.But the finding gave researchers an idea of what may happen in the brains of sleeping people.

A sleep researcher at the University of Wisconsin­Madison, Chiara Cirelli called the new finding “eye­opening and exciting”.

Maiken Nedergaard is a neuroscientist.Her team had been studying a drainage process in the brain that acts like a sewer system(排水系统). What the scientists hadn't expected was to find that this system performs a different role during sleep than it does while animals are awake.As animals slept, fluids began flowing from the brain into the spaces between brain cells.These fluids washed away the junk that had built up while animals were awake.

Other studies had shown that during waking hours, brain cells pump out bits of protein and other substances.The longer someone stays awake, the more litter builds up.That trash includes proteins that gather in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, which causes people to lose the ability to think, learn and remember.

Once mice fell asleep, fluids flowed into their brains.“It was almost like you opened a tap”, Nedergaard said.As the fluid passed through the spaces between brain cells, it washed away the litter.The tap slowed to a trickle(涓流) when mice woke up.

The scientists then looked closely at the brain cells.They found that the cells shrank during slumber(睡眠)—enough to open space through which the fluid can flow freely.When mice were awake, the cells swelled, lessening the fluid's flow.

The newfound house­cleaning activity occurs in a part of the brain that few people study, noted scientist Houzel.“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space, ”she said.

The new discovery also may help scientists solve an age­old mystery：Why do animals sleep？Every animal does it.Without it, they die, although no one knows why.Some studies suggest that the brain solidifies memories during sleep.However, Nedergaard notes, “You don't die from forgetting what you learned yesterday.”

1. According to the text, Maiken's discovery was________.

A．a real surprise	B．a natural result
C．a big reward	D．a personal purpose

2. When we are awake, ________.

A．brain cells take in more proteins

B．litter of proteins build up in our brains

C．fluids in the brain continue flowing

D．our brains have more fluids flow

3. From what Houzel said, we know the space between brain cells________.

A．is in fact a kind of space

B．has ever been carefully studied

C．used to be regarded as unimportant

D．is where litter is stored in the end
