In addition to the mental damage that it causes, stress is also linked to many diseases, including cancer. Unfortunately, in today’s world, most of us are experiencing a stressful life with no way to get out of it — or so we think. If you are one of the many people who want to alleviate your stress, you can learn some simple techniques to help you get out of the vicious cycle of leading a stressful life. Your stressful life does not just affect you, but everyone around you. It affects your relationships as well as any children or co-workers. Most of all, it can actually make you physically ill. Do you really want to go through the rest of your life feeling “stressed out”? Do you like the idea of feeling “out of control” and that everything in life is a trial? Perhaps it is time for you to confront this situation and seek help to restore some sort of balance in your life and break free from this cycle. There are many facets to stress. Stress manifests itself in many different ways and can be either self-induced or something that occurs in life. We can never eliminate stress from our lives, as stressful situations are part of life. However, we can learn to react to stress in a positive manner and take control of the situation rather than allowing the stress to remain in control. 翻译： 1.Nothing takes its toll on the body like stress. 1 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.In addition to the mental damage that it causes, stress is also linked to many diseases, including cancer. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.Unfortunately, in today’s world, most of us are experiencing a stressful life with no way to get out of it — or so we think. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.If you are one of the many people who want to alleviate your stress, you can learn some simple techniques to help you get out of the vicious cycle of leading a stressful life. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.Your stressful life does not just affect you, but everyone around you. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ 6.It affects your relationships as well as any children or co-workers. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7.Most of all, it can actually make you physically ill. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 8.Do you really want to go through the rest of your life feeling “stressed out”? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 9.Do you like the idea of feeling “out of control” and that everything in life is a trial? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 10.Perhaps it is time for you to confront this situation and seek help to restore some sort of balance in your life and break free from this cycle. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ 11.There are many facets to stress. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 12.Stress manifests itself in many different ways and can be either self-induced or something that occurs in life. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 13.We can never eliminate stress from our lives, as stressful situations are part of life. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 14.However, we can learn to react to stress in a positive manner and take control of the situation rather than allowing the stress to remain in control. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4 / 13 撷墨教育整理 短文 P346 Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going. Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. 翻译： 1.Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.It is because we are different and each of us is special. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ 4.Only you know what is best for you. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.By living your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 8.It is this fragile thread that binds us together. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 9.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going. 6 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 10.Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 11.Don’t use time or words carelessly. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 12.Neither can be retrieved. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 13.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 短文 P354-355 During one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of. 7 / 13 撷墨教育整理 When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach; luck and opportunities will come your way and you are overjoyed that they constitute part of your worth. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself, mistaking difficulties and adversities for your own incompetence. It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof from the world wearing a mask of cowardice, behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded. To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist, aware of both one’s strength and shortage. 翻译： 1.During one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 8 / 13 撷墨教育整理 4.It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach; luck and opportunities will come your way and you are overjoyed that they constitute part of your worth. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself, mistaking difficulties and adversities for your own incompetence. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof from the world wearing a mask of cowardice, behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7.To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist, aware of both one’s strength and shortage. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 9 / 13 撷墨教育整理 短文 P355-356 Buying a new puppy can have significant effects on a household. For one thing, the puppy keeps the entire family awake for at least two solid weeks. Every night when the puppy is placed in its box, it begins to howl, yip (犬吠), and whine (闹声). Even after the lights go out and the house quiets down, the puppy continue to moan. A second effect is that the puppy tortures the family by destroying material possessions. Every day something different is damaged. Family members find chewed belts and shoes, gnawed (咬) table legs, and ripped sofa cushions leaking stuffing. In addition, the puppy often misses the paper during the paper- training stage of life, thus making the house smell like the public restroom at a city bus station. Maybe the most serious problem, though, is that the puppy causes family arguments. On one hand, parents argue with children about who is supposed to feed and walk the dog. On the other hand, children argue about who gets to play with the puppy first. These continual arguments, along with the effects of sleeplessness and the loss of valued possessions, can really disrupt a household. Only when the puppy gets a bit older does the household settle back to normal. 翻译： 1.Buying a new puppy can have significant effects on a household. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.For one thing, the puppy keeps the entire family awake for at least two solid weeks. 10 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.Every night when the puppy is placed in its box, it begins to howl, yip (犬吠), and whine (闹声). __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.Even after the lights go out and the house quiets down, the puppy continue to moan. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.A second effect is that the puppy tortures the family by destroying material possessions. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.Every day something different is damaged. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 11 / 13 撷墨教育整理 7.Family members find chewed belts and shoes, gnawed (咬) table legs, and ripped sofa cushions leaking stuffing. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 8.In addition, the puppy often misses the paper during the paper-training stage of life, thus making the house smell like the public restroom at a city bus station. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 9.Maybe the most serious problem, though, is that the puppy causes family arguments. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 10.On one hand, parents argue with children about who is supposed to feed and walk the dog. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 11.On the other hand, children argue about who gets to play with the puppy first. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 12 / 13 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ 12.These continual arguments, along with the effects of sleeplessness and the loss of valued possessions, can really disrupt a household. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 13.Only when the puppy gets a bit older does the household settle back to normal. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 13 / 13
