Friends can help each other by realizing that they are not alone in their feelings. Talking to parents is important, too. Parents can share their own ways of dealing with bad moods (心情). Teachers are also there to talk with you and make you feel better.

Though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. Being tired can cause more sadness.

Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influence on our health.
Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way
First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings of fear, disappointment and so on. Second, pay more attention to those everyday things that will make us angry.
One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can actually calm ourselves down and feel better.
Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities. Exercise helps with feelings of anger.
If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier.

Emily and Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. They could climb up trees, grow flowers, and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds.
Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken.
“It must have flown into the window,” Alex said when his sister Emily called him to have a look. “Look here. You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck on the window.”
“Poor thing!” Emily said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows ” they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection (反射) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.
“Something has to be done to save the birds,” the parents decided.
At first, the family tried keeping curtains (窗帘) across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk. They made six hawks—one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They looked pretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away.

The Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas is larger than any other desert in North America. The winters there are cool and summers are very hot. This area is also home to a mysterious phenomenon (现象) called the Marfa Lights.
The Marfa Lights are bright lights that appear in the night sky all of a sudden and then fly to faraway places and disappear. They are about the size of basketballs and are often described as white, blue, yellow, red, or other colors. The lights sometimes even get close to people’s houses. One woman who lived on a farm told the story of what she experienced one night. She was in bed and suddenly she saw the lights shining through her bedroom window. She watched them change color for a few minutes. Finally, they went away. Pilots who used to train in the desert in the 1940s also reported that they once saw these mysterious lights.
What causes this phenomenon People have different opinions on this. A popular interpretation is the lights might have something to do with headlights from cars on the road nearby. Scientific research also suggests that some of the lights are caused by the refraction (折射) of light between layers (层) of air that have different temperatures. However, not all of them can be explained so easily.
Anyway, people will continue to study the lights to find out where they come from. No matter what these lights really are, they are as mysterious today as when they first appeared. But it is certain that the mystery behind them will be solved one day.

Have you met someone who kept talking and talking, and you couldn’t get them to stop You don’t want to be impolite by telling them to shut up, but you really want to get out of the conversation. Here are some ways to help you.
Use body language. While it may feel impolite, you could turn away, leave your headphones on, and avoid looking at his or her eyes, which will show that you don’t want to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to stop talking later on.
Keep working on whatever activity you are doing. Get up and move around, be active and find little things to do instead of listening.
Interrupt them as soon as you can. Saying things like “I’d like to add something” or “If I could interrupt you for just a minute” will often let others know that they are talking too much.
Lead the conversation. This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you often talk to. Let them know that you heard what they said and guide the conversation in a different direction.
Mention that you don’t have a lot of time to talk. Expressions like “I would love to chat (聊天) but I have to go for a movie right now” and “Today’s not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks” will make you easily end the conversation.
Remember it is a skill to back out of a conversation without saying “You are boring. Shut up.”

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了礼仪在不同时间、不同国家的发展变化，以及不同人群对礼仪重要性的不同看法。
56．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Whether it’s putting your elbows on the table or talking with a mouth full of food, everyone has to watch their manners at some time.”可知，无论是把胳膊肘放在桌子上，还是满嘴食物地说话，这些都是不礼貌的行为，所以每个人在某些时候都得注意自己的举止，“watch”在此处意为“注意”，与“notice”意思相近。故选C。
57．主旨大意题。通读第三段，本段首先通过“Many old people think so.”承接上文提出的问题“Are manners important ”，然后具体阐述了老年人认为礼仪重要的原因：礼貌的言行对大家都有好处；体现关心他人感受；让世界更快乐；有助于保持健康。因此，本段的主旨是“Good manners are very important.（良好的礼仪非常重要）”。故选B。
58．推理判断题。根据第四段“They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn’t mean how they really feel. If someone says ‘thank you’ or ‘sorry’ when they don’t mean it, they’re not being polite...As long as people are kind to others, they should be allowed to act how they like.”可知，有些人认为礼仪让人们的行为并不代表他们的真实感受，如果有人不是真心地说“谢谢”或“对不起”，他们就不是有礼貌的，只要人们对别人友好，就应该允许他们按自己喜欢的方式行事，由此可推知，此处与上文形成转折关系，说的是有些人不认为礼仪重要，选项A“然而，一些年轻人不这么认为”符合语境。故选A。
59．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Eating food loudly is considered rude in some countries, but in others it’s a sign that people are enjoying their meal.”可知，在一些国家，大声吃东西被认为是粗鲁的，但在另一些国家，这是人们享受美食的标志，所以大声吃东西有时也是好的礼仪。故选D。
60．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了礼仪在不同时间、不同国家的发展变化，以及不同人群对礼仪重要性的不同看法，所以选项C“关于礼仪的不同看法”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
