1.Using Music to Change Your Mood Everyone knows that listening to music when feeling
bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable
and help you relax. All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys
the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring,
it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one. Now let"s examine
what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to
a play list and allow a program to randomly(任意的)select the songs we are going
to listen to. This is where the program lies. What if you liked the first song but
found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the
fourth didn’t suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be? What you"ll
have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second
will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will
put you down. In the end you’ll end up feeling worse than before. I strongly
recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list
for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you
must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don"t
listen to songs with negative words or messages. The music you listen to can delay
your recovery from breakups(分手)by months and months! People who listen to romantic
songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don"t. So be careful
with your play list if you want to recover faster. Music is believed to have a
comforting effect.

2.When Sue started her first job, she_____.
A.introduced herself around
B.asked her supervisor for help
C.shook hands with colleagues
D.waited for others to talk to her
4.What did Sue suggest we do at our first job______?
A.Seize every possible opportunity.
B.Get ready to take over the place.
C.Make active contacts with others.
D.Stay humble before the older staff.
1.Just Introduce Yourself It"s so easy to walk into your first job and feel like
a stranger in a strange land. But you don"t have to stay that way, and you shouldn"t.
You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just
a handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit.
That"s the best way to make contacts. Then you"ll know what to do and say when you
meet these people again. Don"t do what my friend Sue did at her first job at
Entertainment Weekly. "That is one of my biggest regrets: I hardly talked to anyone
at all when I was there. I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first.
For a long time, I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older, I respected
them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday, and I started Tuesday,
I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months, I hardly
spoke to these people," she said. "Of course, now I realize that was the most stupid
thing. If I could do that again, I"d remember that it"s so important not to feel
shy about introducing yourself. It"s not like you have to be very bold, ready to
take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can
do for them. That breaks the ice." Sue believes that if she had introduced herself
around a bit, there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other
acquaintances she might have now. Not that she regrets where she is now at all. But
had she talked to more people at her first job, "maybe it would have helped me get
somewhere sooner," she said. How do people usually feel when meeting people at their
first job______?
A.Shy.
B.Puzzled.
C.Curious.
D.Excited.
3."I was hung up on the thought" in Paragraph 3 probably means "I_____".
A.believed
B.guessed
C.learned
D.admitted
5.In talking about her first job experience, Sue expressed a sense of______.
A.relief
B.regret
C.failure
D.longing

1.The Woman behind the Brooklyn Bridge ①John Roebling planned to build the Brooklyn
Bridge before 1867. But he never really got started. In 1869, he died of an accident.
The job fell to his son Washington, a master of construction. In 1872, Washington
was injured in building the bridge. He could not walk any longer. He could only see
the building of the bridge from his window. But his mind was still fresh. How could
he get his ideas down to the workers? ②That"s where Emily came in. Emily and
Washington married in 1865. At that time John was planning the bridge. He sent his
son around the world to study bridges. Emily went along with her husband and learnt
much about bridge building. When John died and Washington became the boss, she taught
herself more about bridge building. She wanted to help her husband with his new job.
③Emily regularly came to the building site. She gave Washington"s instructions to
the workers. And then she took questions back to him. However, as time went on, her
role started to change. Soon, workers saw her as the new boss. As she had more and
more knowledge, she became the chief engineer. She met with officials, discussed
with other engineers, and instructed the workers. ④Emily also helped to solve
problems outside the building site. Some people once questioned her husband, s
ability to head the bridge building. And the American Society of Civil Engineers
would think about replacing him. Emily went to meet the group. She gave a speech
in defense of her husband. The group finally decided to keep him on the job. ⑤
It took up 14 years to build the bridge. For 11 of those years, Emily was the one
in charge. The bridge finally opened on May 24, 1883. She was one of the first people
to cross the bridge. Emily never planned on becoming an engineer, but she turned
out to be a great one. Paragraph①_____.
