Have you ever felt super sad or really angry and didn't know what to do? Guess what? You don't always have to talk about these negative feelings right away. Here are some other choices for you.
Sometimes, stepping away helps. If thinking about a problem just makes you feel worse, take a break. Draw, read, or play outside. Coming back later with a fresh mind can make things feel smaller.
Talking to a friend is good, but there's a trick. First, share what happened. Then, let your friend help you see it differently. That's more helpful than repeating how hurt you are.
Places matter too. Think of a place that makes you feel calm—like a comfortable corner, a park bench, or grandma's kitchen. Visiting your "happy place" can often help you calm down.
There's also a tip called WOPP to remind yourself to stay cool before you get too angry and do something you might later wish you didn't do. Here's an example.
Wish: "I want to stay calm when my brother upsets me."
Outcome: "We can get along, and no one gets hurt or misunderstood."
Problem: "I want to shout at him angrily."
Plan: "If I want to shout at him, I'll take five deep breaths instead."
You can create your own WOPP. All feelings are okay. You get to choose what to do with them!
( )51. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By raising questions. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison.
( )52. Which place might best help deal with bad feelings?
A. A noisy restaurant. B. A favorite coffee house C. A room full of friends
( )53. What does the underlined word "Outcome" mean?
A. Beginning B. Result. C. Reasons
( )54. Where can we see the passage probably?
A. On a notice board. B. On a health guide. C. On a menu.
( )55. Which of the following might be a Plan in a WOPP?
A. I want to say hurtful things to my friend.
B. I wish to get on well with my brother even after he breaks my favourite cup.
C. If I want to say something hurtful to him, I'll count from 1 to 100 instead.
51. - A 以提问开头
52. - B 能让人平静的地方

A. So learning how to deal with stress is a key part of staying healthy.
B. Sharing your thoughts with others can help you feel more peaceful.
C. Schools also offer help and advice to students who need it.
D. Eating healthy food and exercising daily can improve your mood.
E. These activities can help you feel more energetic and confident.
F. Third, don't compare yourself to others too much.
Middle school can be both exciting and challenging. Late-night homework, social media pressure, or even changes in your body can make you feel stressed. 71 Here are some ways to keep healthy.
First, always remember you are not alone. 72 Some students worry that sharing feelings is a sign of weakness, but in reality, it shows courage. Teachers and parents often have similar experiences from their youth.
Second, try to make time for activities you enjoy, like sports or drawing. 73 Scientists have found that creative hobbies reduce stress by up to 45%. Even 20 minutes of daily "me time" can clear your mind.
74 Everyone has different strengths, and focusing on your own progress is better. Social media often show only others' successes, not their troubles. Instead of thinking "I'm not good enough," try "I'm improving step by step."
If you notice a classmate seems sad or upset, offer him or her kindness. Small actions matter: lending a notebook, inviting them to join a game, or just listening without judgment. You might be the lifeline they need. 75
By taking care of ourselves and supporting each other, we can create a happier school environment.

A. 完成图表。根据短文内容，完成图表格中所缺信息。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）
Do you often wait until the last minute to do your homework? If so, it means you may have procrastination. Many students suffer from this problem.
People think procrastination happens because we are lazy. But it actually has to do with our feelings and how difficult the task is. When we face a big task, we may feel worried or scared. Then we naturally want to run away and choose to do something easy instead. But the work we need to do is still there waiting for us.
Procrastination can hurt us in many ways. Firstly, it makes our work worse because we need to hurry and can hardly do well enough. It also brings us bad feelings. As the deadline comes closer, we are more and more stressed. Besides, when we stay up late to finish what we have to do, we feel tired easily the next day and we may even develop some illnesses slowly.
The good news is that we can learn to stop procrastination. Here are some simple ways. First, be kind to yourself. When you feel afraid of a task, take a deep breath and tell yourself, "I can do this. I don't need to be perfect." Second, break big tasks into small pieces. A big job feels scary while a small one is much lighter. Third, put away your phone and choose a quiet space to stay focused. Finally, give yourself small rewards like listening to a favourite song or having a snack when you finish a step. This makes you feel good and encourages you to keep going.

Meaning: The habit of waiting until the last minute to do one thing.

When it comes to the Himalayas, what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right. However, few people know there is a quite different but surprisingly beautiful place in the Himalayas. Let me introduce the Valley of Flowers to you. There you can see a very different scene. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals.
The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, a state in the north of India. It covers more than 87.5 square kilometres and it's hiking route is 36 kilometres long. The valley sits high up in the mountains. It is not easy to reach, but many people would like to go there to see these flowers. These flowers are not quite the same as what we often see in gardens or parks. And there are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world.
There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world. What's more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards.
Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park to protect wild plants and endangered animals there. Visitors can't even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It's probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there.

82. How long is the hiking route of the Valley of Flowers?
83. Why do people build the national park?
84. What's the purpose of the passage?
