After wrking an extra shift， Dr.Jessica Gld returned hme feeling burned ut and submitted herself t the urge t watch TV and sleep mst f the day. As Generatin Z wuld say， she was "bed rtting". The phrase describes staying in bed all day， just like"rtting"（ 腐 烂 ）there， accrding t Gld， a prfessr at Washingtn University. It is similar t having a lazy day， but it is mre f an immbile term with less activity. She said， "It is OK as lng as yu understand why yu are ding it and turn t ther activities as well."
"Lying in bed fr mre than a day is cncerning and culd lead t different mental health issues，" Gld added， "The urge t rt in bed all day， especially if it happens mre seriusly， is likely abut smething mre than just catching up n sleep r needing a day t d nthing， but aviding the feelings， stress r pain f being awake.

Recharging activities can energize us and better prepare us fr the unavidable stress we face daily.

Paul Blm, a psychlgist at Yale University, defines empathy（共情) as the act f stepping int smene’s mind t experience their feelings and it’s what he takes issue with. “Experiencing smene else’s pain will mtivate us t care abut and help that persn,” he writes, “Hwever, it leads t sme mral dilemmas.”
Blm tells the stry f a 10-year-ld girl called Sheri Summers， wh has a deadly disease. Dctrs have placed Sheri n a waiting list fr a treatment that will ptentially prlng her life. Sadly， this very bright， very brave girl learns she has weeks r mnths befre that happens.

参考答案
1．答案： A
解析：
2．答案： D
解析：
3．答案： B
解析：
4．答案： A
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，在喂"猫"的时候她被咬伤了手。
5．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句" the interest f her brther"可知她刚开始的时候撒谎，是考虑到哥哥的利益，也就是不想给她哥哥找麻烦。
6．答案： A
解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知这个组织希望最后将短尾猫放归至安全的地方，即放归野外。
7．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。最后一段主要是告诉人们野生动物应该生存在野外不被打扰，并告诉人们遇到了野生动物或宠物该如何处理，所以最后一段的目的是提供建议。
8．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句可知，只要你理解你自己为什么"腐烂在床上"（bedrtting）而且也还是会做一些其他事情，就没什么问题。所以C项"只要还在可控范围内，就是可以接受的"是正确的。
9．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。第二段主要讲"躺在床上超过一天就是让人担忧的，而且可能指向不同的精神健康方面的问题。想在床上瘫一整天，尤其是情况特别严重的时候，很可能不仅是想补觉或者需要放空一天，而是逃避一些情感、压力或者醒着时的痛苦。这样的行为就与抑郁和焦虑的症状相关了。"所以，本段主要讲"腐烂在床上"对心理健康的影响。
10．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。从倒数第二句可知，"作为普遍的准则，如果晚上在床上躺30 分钟还没睡着，就应该起床。"所以，"腐烂在床上"这个行为与好的睡眠习惯是相违背的。
11．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。从最后一段可知，这些活动包括"跟朋友出去玩，看电影，锻炼身体""如果不想离开家，就试试读书看杂志这样的活动，而不是躺下来看电视"即参加一些放松的活动。
12．答案： A

解析：
14．答案： A
解析：
15．答案： B
解析：
16．答案： F; C; A; D; G
解析：
17．答案： C
解析： "rder"有"点（餐、饮料等）"的意思，这里说在商场点了一杯饮料，所以选C。"prepare"准备:"serve"服务、提供（饭菜等），通常是指已经做好提供的动作，这里是点饮料的动作还没到提供的环节;"taste"品尝，不符合语境。
18．答案： A
解析： "ready"表示"准备好的"，这里指饮料准备好的时候，服务员递给"我"一个写着"老外"的杯子其他选项"fresh"新鲜的;"cld"冷的;"acceptable"可接受的，都不符合此处语境。
19．答案： D
解析： "mark"有"标志着"的意思，这是"我"在中国的第二天，这件事标志着在公共场合无数次被叫做或被贴上"老外"标签的开始，"mean"意味着，侧重于意思上的等同;"fascinate"使着迷;"begin"开始，但没有"mark"那种强调作为一个标志性事件开始的意味。
20．答案： C
解析： "label"有"贴标签、把……归类"的意思，这里说在公共场合被叫做或被归类为"老外""mnitr监控;"recall"回忆;"recgnize"认出，都不符合此处说被当作某种类型来对待的语境。
21．答案： B
解析： 根据后面"dwn the street"在街上，以及常理推断，应该是走在街上，所以选"walking""run"跑;"ride"骑（车等）;"drive"开车，都不太符合这里描述的在街上正常行进且能听到别人说话的情景。
22．答案： D
解析： "appreciate"有"喜欢、欣赏、感激"等意思，这里说大多数人不会喜欢一个陌生人对自己的外貌大声评论，比如"高个""大头"之类的，"avid"避免;"rely"依靠;"permit"允许，都不符合语境。
23．答案： C
解析： 前面提到陌生人说"看，一个老外"，这是对人的外貌特征进行一种指代性的评论，所以是appearance外貌，"backgrund"背景;"attitude"态度;"behavir"行为，都不符合此处说的因为外貌被评论的语境。
24．答案： B
解析： 根据后面说"lawai"比"waiguren"更有尊重和友好的感觉，所以是更"welcming"（友好的、受欢迎的）的词汇，"cnfusing"令人困惑的:"awarding"授予的:"bring"无聊的，都不符合描述词汇性质的语境。
25．答案： B
解析： "tuch"有"意味、一点"的意思，"Ìa"增加了一点尊重和友谊的感觉，"magic"魔法;preference偏爱;"cnnectin"联系，都不符合这里说增加某种感觉的程度的语境。
26．答案： A
解析： "verlk"有"忽视、忽略"的意思，这里说在某些方面，"我"很难忽略"wai"这个部分的意思"secure"获得，使安全，固定;"guarantee"保证;"frget"忘记，都不如"verlk"能准确表达在理解这个词的含义时难以不去在意其中一部分意思的语境。
27．答案： D
解析： "wai"意思是"外"，也就是"utsider"（外人、局外人）的意思，"guest"客人;"traveler"旅行者;"candidate"候选人，都不符合"wai"所表达的与本地相对的外来的这种意思。
28．答案： A
解析： 前面说"我"被叫做"老外"无数次，但从来没觉得是来自于粗鲁或不尊重的地方，"rudeness"粗鲁:anger愤怒;envy嫉妒;"sadness"悲伤，这里是说没有感觉到被不尊重的那种负面态度，所以选"rudeness"
29．答案： D
解析： 这里说"我"在中国待的时间越长，"1ive"有"居住"的意思，符合在这里长期生活的语境，leave离开;"ccupy"占据;"visit"参观、访问。
30．答案： B
解析： "hme"家，这里说在中国待得越久，越感觉中国像家一样，"twn"城镇;"cuntry"国家;city城市，都不如"hme"能准确表达那种归属感的感觉。
31．答案： C
解析： "fit in"有"融入、适应"的意思，这里说越想融入，因为前面说感觉中国像家了，所以就想更好地融入进去，"stand ut"突出:"breakin"闯入;"mixup"混淆。
32．答案： cldest; in/during; t keep; symblizing; be filled; a; and; lanterns; preparatin; which
