Books that can help teens manage anxiety
Children experience anxiety differently from adults, and it also looks different in each child.
Fortunately, books can serve as tools for guiding children through the anxious thoughts and feelings
they may experience. The following are four books that can help children effectively manage their
anxiety.
The Healthy Coping Coloring Book and Journal by Pooky Knightsmith
This coloring book is specifically designed for children aged 8 to 14 and activities range from
coloring to journaling and drawing, all of which are developed to help children deal with troubling
situations. The different activities can be beneficial for self-expression.
Please Explain Anxiety to Me！ by Laurie E. Zelinger and Jordan Zelinger
Written by psychologists, this story breaks down both the physical and emotional symptoms of
anxiety. The story compares the natural anxiety kids feel to dinosaurs fearing being threatened in the
wild. It explains that some anxiety （for example, a dinosaur’s anxiety about being eaten） can be
our body’s way of protecting us from threats.
Sea Otter Cove by Lori Lite
This is a book that teaches children how to use proper breathing techniques to calm down, lower
stress, and control anger. Through playful sea otters and other delightful characters in the book,
children get to experience belly breathing. This effective, self-calming technique is also known as
diaphragmatic breathing or deep breathing.
The Worry Glasses by Donalisa Helsley
This book is about a little girl named MJ. It tells the story of how she learns to defeat her worries.
All through the story, her wonderful counselor Miss Jessica patiently helps her. The book includes a
list of exercises designed to relieve kids' anxiety. It also offers tips to parents and adults who live with
anxious children.

C. Measuring children's mental health.
D. Inspiring children's artistic talent.

A few years ago, I walked into Panera and placed my order. As I sat down, I noticed that at the
table next to me, there was an older man with a cap eating his soup alone. At the sight of this, a feeling
of sadness began to wash over me. Why was he eating alone? Was he lonely? Did he want someone
to keep him company?
This wasn't the first time I'd felt sad when I. noticed someone eating alone. I automatically
assume they're lonely and need someone to be there for them. For some reason, eating with other
people is the norm. Modern society has evolved to the point where most people eat with others and
do almost every activity together. If we need to get lunch before a class, we'd rather ask around to see
if someone will come with us. But is it possible we just don't want to appear lonely?
For me, it's easy to get pressured to have to be around other people when I see everyone else
around me accompanied by a friend almost all the time. So many people are always around someone
else, and that may make people think we always need someone with us to feel better about ourselves.
But that's not true. We can enjoy being alone not everyone needs to be constantly surrounded by
friends to be happy. And we shouldn't be afraid to eat alone if that's what we want to do. We don't
have to do what everyone else does.
Ultimately, I don't think I'll ever not get sad if I see someone eating alone, but I'll bear in mind
that maybe they just want a break from the world, or maybe they prefer it that way. It's important to
realize seeing someone doing something alone doesn't always mean they're lonely.
4. Why does the author mention her experience at Panera a few years ago?
A. To introduce the topic of caring for old people.
B. To start the discussion about people eating alone.
C. To describe a memorable encounter.
D. To illustrate the benefits of eating alone outside.
5. What does the author think of the norm of eating with other people?
A. It is a good way to avoid awkwardness.
B. It helps maintain social connections.
C. It is common but deserves questioning.
D. It is unreasonable and unacceptable.
6. How does the author feel when people around her have company but she doesn't?
A. Uncomfortable. B. Isolated. C. Envious. D. Relaxed.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Social relationships are unnecessary.
B. People need to be alone to recharge.
C. Loneliness is unavoidable in our daily life.
D. Being alone doesn't equate to loneliness.
C
Crowded streets, noise, and unattractive grey buildings can be boring and stressful. A solution
to such problems may lie in nature, which can have calming and renewing power.
Introducing vegetation or colorful designs may make cities more livable. However, growing
plants or covering buildings in paint to test these approaches is expensive and inconvenient.
Moreover, studying these phenomena outdoors can be tricky, as many factors can affect the final
results. Measuring pleasure and motivation in natural settings is extremely hard, explained Prof.
Yvonne Delevoye --Turrell of the University of Lille. Human reactions are sensitive to
environmental changes, such as weather or traffic. Consequently, we used virtual reality to measure
reactions to these factors in a virtual urban space.
Using virtual reality, the team created an immersive（沉浸式的） urban environment with
either no vegetation or some green vegetation, as well as introduced colorful patterns onto a path.
Then they invited students to participate in the study. Wearing a VR headset and walking on the spot,
the students spent time exploring the virtual environment. To find out where the volunteers were
looking and for how long, each headset included an eye tracker.
The researchers found that the students walked more slowly when there was green vegetation
present in the experiment, and their heart rate increased. They would spend less time looking at the
ground and more time observing their surroundings. These results indicate a pleasurable experience.
Bright color patterns alone did not have quite the same uplifting effect as the green vegetation, but
they inspired interest and passion of the students and attracted their stare while increasing their heart
rate.
Virtual reality could be a valuable tool for urban planners, enabling them to virtually test the
impact of various factors. In the future, the researchers hope to make the VR experience even more
immersive to obtain the most accurate results.
8. What does Delevoye --Turrell think is difficult for the solution to boring city life?
A. Sensing people's reactions to pleasure.
B. Having reasonable designs for buildings.
C. Applying VR technology to city planning.
D. Testing the effects in the real world.
9. How does virtual reality work in the study?
A. By creating an immersive virtual urban environment.
B. By inviting students to walk in the street.
C. By covering the path with colorful patterns.
D. By creating virtual participants.
10. What can be inferred about bright color patterns?
A. They guided students to find greens in real life.
B. They helped students control their strong emotions.
C. They awakened students' enthusiasm.
D. They weakened the impact of vegetation.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. City buildings take pleasure away from people.
B. Nature empowers people in special ways.
C. VR helps test the effect of colors and greens in cities.
D. Colors and greens in cities promote human health.
D
For many people, it is hard to imagine what it is like to lose their sense of smell. Known as
anosmia, loss of smell can have a substantial effect on our overall wellbeing and quality of life. But
while a sudden respiratory infection （呼吸道感染） might lead to a temporary loss of this important
sense, your sense of smell may well have been gradually eroding away for years due to something
else- air pollution.
Exposure to PM2. 5 has previously been linked with smell loss, but typically only in
occupational or industrial settings. But new research is now starting to reveal the true scale- and the
potential damage caused by the pollution we breathe in every day. On the underside of our brains lies
the olfactory bulb （嗅球）. This sensitive bit of tissue is essential for the enormously varied picture
of the world we get from our sense of smell. It's also our first line of defense against viruses and
pollutants entering the brain. But, with repeated exposure to PM2. 5, these defenses slowly get worn
down.
Our data show there's a 1. 6 to 1. 7-fold increased risk of developing anosmia with sustained
particulate pollution （粒状物污染）, says Murugappan Ramanathan, a rhinologist. One Mexican
study in 2006, which used strong coffee and orange odors showed that residents of Mexico City which
often struggles with air pollution -tended 'to have a poorer sense of smell on average than people
living in rural areas of the country.
So, should we care that air pollution to which we are all exposed -is damaging our sense of smell
and causing anosmia? Clearly, the answer is yes. Ramanathan says, Air quality matters. I think we
need tight regulations and control. Many people may not even realize the pollution they are exposed
to. But even the everyday, low level air pollution we are exposed to should be taken more seriously.
12. What do the underlined words eroding away mean in paragraph 1?
A. Evolving. B. Becoming weak.
C. Becoming sharp. D. Appearing.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Exposure to PM2. 5 has nothing to do with smell loss.
B. The pollution we breathe in on a daily basis may cause harm.
C. Our nose stops viruses and pollutants from entering the brain.
D. Our defenses will disappear quickly with air pollution exposure.
14. What does the study reveal about people in Mexico City?
A. They have developed anosmia with air pollution.
B. Their sense of smell is poorer than rural people's.
C. They often consume strong coffee.
D. They tend to have a good sense of smell.
15. What will the author probably talk about next?
A. How we should react to air pollution.
B. What we should do to protect the environment.
C. What steps we can take to recover from anosmia.
D. How we can improve our life quality.

Have you ever paused to see clouds when you rush to your destination? There's a group of
passionate treasure finders dedicated to observing and capturing the beauty in the sky cloud
spotters.
Cloud spotters take a more serious approach to make sense of the sky. 16
Ji Yun, 36, is an expert in cloud spotting. He set up a WeChat group to gather together people
with similar hobbies in 2013. As the number of group members continued to grow, Ji and several
cloud enthusiasts created dozens of online groups for different regions in China, forming the Sky
Enthusiasts Association in 2019. 17
Power comes in numbers. Three years after the association was formed, cloud enthusiasts from
all over China had collected every kind of cloud in the International Cloud Atlas, a reference by the
World Meteorological Organization.
18 Cloud spotting, in fact, is an invitation to be amazed by something so common every day
that we've become blind to. You're not going to be worrying too much about what formation it is
and why it looks the way it does. Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society,
told Atlas Obscura.
Indeed, Jiang Xinwei in Jilin finds cloud spotting relaxing. Even though she is going through
her toughest school year in grade 12, Jiang maintains this hobby as a short break from her heavy
schoolwork. Observing the clouds has become a habit for me, the 17-year-old said. 19
“Clouds change in the blink of an eye. 20 said Jiang Na, a 25-year-old cloud spotter in
Beijing.
A. Currently, there are thousands of people across different groups.
B. This often leads us to think about the relationship between humans and nature.
C. They take photos of the clouds and match them to cloud type names.
D. My worries and troubles seem to fade away as I look up.
E. But that is not to say all clouds potters need to go to such great lengths.
F. Cloud spotting can also make some people feel blue.
G. When they roll over the sky, I feel the passage of time has a concrete shape.

Never in my wildest imagination did I picture myself standing on the back of a running horse.
I'm not a cowgirl and don't even ride horses for pleasure.
But I was doing a television fitness show, and someone in the group had the bright idea that we
should go to the rodeo（牛仔竞技表演） grounds and ask the trick rider if they could teach me a
stunt （特技表演） to do on camera. We could use this short video as the new opening to the show.
I agreed the stunt would be eye-catching and prove how flexible a fit person can be.
That was how I ended up at the rodeo grounds with a camera group, watching the remarkable
performances of three talented young cowgirls. Once their show was over, we approached them,
detailing our ideas for the television show.
The cowgirls asked me which particular stunt I was interested in learning. I especially liked one
stunt - one of the girls led a horse to continuously and slowly run around the grounds while one of
the other girls ran across the grounds toward a small trampoline（蹦床）. It was timed perfectly so
that she jumped onto the trampoline, up into the air, and then onto the horse's back. As she landed on
its back, she stood up and stretched her arms outward as the horse continued slowly running. It looked
impressive.
They talked me through the necessary moves, stressing the timing since I would need to be in
the air at the correct time when the horse ran past. I alone would judge the speed of the horse and my
own speed to jump onto the horse on time.
It was clearly difficult. I was a little hesitant, afraid of being unable to do that well and slowing
down the filming. But I knew the most important thing for me was to concentrate on the task at hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The first time out, I hit the horse's back part and fell to the ground.
At 6: 00 pm, we completed the stunt filming, with my knee injured.
