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 is 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(任意地)select the songs we are going to listen to.
This is where the problem 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.

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.”
Sun 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. 11. How do people usually feel when meeting people are their first job? C
A . Shy. B. Puzzled. C. Curious. D. Excited. 12. When Sue stated 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
13.”I was hung up on the thought” in Paragraph 3 probably means”I__________”.
A. believed B. guessed C. learned D. admitted 14. 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. 15. In talking about her first job experience, Sue expressed a sense of ___________. A. relief B. regret C. failure D. longing 第三部分：概括短路大意和补全句子（第16~25题，每题1分，共10分）
