1 Module 1-3 (建议用时35分钟) Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A (2017·莱芜模拟) Millions of Americans take classes to learn the poses and breathing of the ancient Indian practice of yoga. In recent years, yoga organizations have been reaching out to people who may not normally have the opportunity to take yoga classes, such as the homeless, people with drug and alcohol addictions. Green Door is a small mental health center in Washington where yoga is helping change people’s lives for the better. The free, weekly yoga classes are offered as a part of Green Door’s program to help people who are mentally ill cope with their problems and become more independent. Most are poor and many are homeless or in temporary housing. Social worker Miranda White says a lot of them don’t exercise, but yoga is a good way to get them moving, even if it’s from a chair. “Their patience for doing any type of exercise is minimal at first, but once they’ve gotten involved in yoga, I’ve seen this love for it, ”said White. Studies have shown the positive effect of yoga on a range of mental illnesses. They indicate the practice helps reduce stress, ease chronic depression and lessen mental diseases. “That’s something these people really need. It’s a moment for their bodies to just relax because if you’re homeless, or if you’re struggling with symptoms(症状)of hearing voices or depression, it’s hard to find a calm place within yourself and your environment, and with a lot of them you can see it in their faces, ”Miranda White said. That’s beneficial for Charles Bradley, who had a mental breakdown due to drug abuse, and has been clean for a year. “You don’t always have to go running back to substances to make you feel good. 2

You can make yourself feel good just by doing something as simple as breathing, ”said Bradley. Bradley started taking yoga because he was curious—but now considers it a vital part of turning his life around. 【文章大意】瑜伽本来是一项源于印度的健身运动, 而现在设在华盛顿的一家名叫Green Door的小型精神健康中心正在利用瑜伽来帮助那些有精神疾病的人改变他们的生活。 1.

Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress.

If you’ve ever been told to“lighten up”or“chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor. Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled(溢出)water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle(咯咯笑)rather than a scolding. Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people. Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor. 【文章大意】本文讲述如何变得有幽默感, 来化解尴尬和让人放松。 5. If you’ve ever been told to“lighten up”or“chill out”, it means______.
