Guide for Teenagers
The teenage years can be tough, and its normal to feel sad every now and then. 1
Try not to isolate yourself
When youre depressed(沮喪的),you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating(使孤立)yourself only makes depression worse.
2 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a“runners high”? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps!
3 As for food, make sure youre feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a“mood boost,”even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed. 4 You will need special treatment for your problem.
5
Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you cant talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If youre dealing with relationship, friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.
A. Ask for help if you are stressed.
B. Even a short walk can be beneficial.
C. Turn to your parents for help.
D. As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.
E. In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse -- not better--in the long run.
F. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.
G. Help is available and you have more power than you think.

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of whats happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.
1 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 2 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that some opportunities(機(jī)會(huì))for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 3 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while youre daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
Its also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.“Mindfulness”,being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 4
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.
5 Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C. Without wandering minds, we wouldnt have relativity, Coke or Post-it notes.
D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.
G. Therefore, its a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when youre in the daydream zone.

第1題選B。代詞一致法,選項(xiàng)B中的主語(yǔ)與空前句及空后句的主語(yǔ)都是they,且都是指代上文的名詞daydreamer。
第2題選C。關(guān)鍵詞重復(fù)法,選項(xiàng)C中的relativity, Coke or Post-it notes(相對(duì)論、可口可樂(lè)或便條紙)是空后such ideas and inventions(這些想法和發(fā)明)的具體的例子。
第3題選A。關(guān)鍵詞重復(fù),空前句中will help you與選項(xiàng)A中的also helps重復(fù),句式并列,語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞also表遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。
第4題選E。關(guān)鍵詞重復(fù)法,“Mindfulness”, being focused與選項(xiàng)中的stay calm and attentive語(yǔ)義重復(fù),slow與空后句中的slowly重復(fù)。指代一致,選項(xiàng)E中的It指代前句中的“Mindfulness”,上下銜接緊密。
第5題選G。語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞,選項(xiàng)G中的語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞Therefore引出段落總結(jié)句。

[實(shí)例3]
Security camera
Security cameras are becoming increasingly common in many countries. Before they appeared only in banks and at high-security areas, they are now entering public places such as malls, streets, stadiums. Many people feel this affects their privacy. 1
Security cameras have several benefits. An obvious benefit is that the police can catch criminals in the act, thus reducing crime.
2 They will not be tempted to carry out crimes, and thus society will be a lot safer. 3 Governments do not need to spend large amounts of money on police.
4 The biggest objection concerns privacy. Many people feel that they should be free to travel or move around a shop, mall, street or country without being photographed or recorded. They feel that being watched constantly is like being in a jail, and that ordinary people are losing their freedom because of these devices. Another point is that although the police say that only criminals have something to fear from the cameras, many people do not trust governments with too much information. 5
In conclusion, although there are definite advantages to using devices such as cameras, we need to balance the need for security with respect for the individuals privacy and freedom.
A. Their life was protected by the security cameras.
B. But do the advantages of these cameras outweigh(大于)their negative impact?
C. However, security cameras are far from being a perfect solution.
D. A more important point is that criminals will be deterred(阻嚇).
E. Thirdly, cameras and computers can make mistakes.
F. Some people will abuse information
G. Cameras are also cost-effective(劃算的).
答案點(diǎn)撥
第1題選B。篇章結(jié)構(gòu)法,第二段談利(several benefits),第三段談弊,第四段總結(jié)(In conclusion),可見(jiàn)此處應(yīng)是引出利弊分析的過(guò)渡性句子:這些攝像頭利大于弊嗎?
第2題選D。語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞,空前句提到“An obvious benefit”,按照邏輯順序,由語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞more importan,可知選項(xiàng)D正好引出第二個(gè)好處。
第3題選G。關(guān)鍵詞重復(fù)法,選項(xiàng)中“cost-effective”與下句“do not need to spend large amounts of money ”語(yǔ)義重復(fù)。最讓人想到關(guān)聯(lián)的就是cost與money。
第4題選C。篇章結(jié)構(gòu)法,上一段落分析好處,此段則分析弊端;選項(xiàng)C中的表轉(zhuǎn)折的邏輯關(guān)系語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞However正好吻合,故選C。
第5題選E。語(yǔ)篇標(biāo)識(shí)詞,與由前面The biggest objection ...Another point is that...相吻合的應(yīng)是Thirdly,故選E。
