I was in middle schl when I had my first but with anxiety, it began when I struggled with the pressure f being n a sprts team. Being cnstantly cmpared t thers caused a pit in my stmach that kept rising. I was scared and uncmfrtable.
I had t find a way t cpe. My therapist taught me t fill in the gaps, because anxiety wuld shw up n and n its wn schedule, and I had t be prepared t deal with it. I knew I had t turn t smething I enjyed in rder t cpe. I lve t write. As a child, my father always influenced me t write my wn stry. In middle schl, I wrte letters t my future self in a diary. Tday, I run the feature sectin in ur student newspaper La Vista, which interviews student staff and alumni abut their hbbies they’ve turned int passins.
In the beginning, I didn’t knw what t write. But as the wrds began t flw, I began acknwledging feelings
I’d been pushing dwn. If I experienced uneasiness, even queasiness, I’d write abut it. If I felt guilty fr having anxiety, I’d write abut it. If I felt like everyne else was handling their anxiety way better than me, I’d write abut it. Writing allwed me t lk at my feelings as a third persn, and just as a friend might tell yu that yu’re being t hard n yurself, r nly lks like peple are handling their anxiety well. Writing allwed me t lk at the absurdity and the high standards I set fr myself. Writing pens up my heart and relinquishes the pit in my stmach that tells me I am nt gd enugh, r I will make the wrng decisin.
As I write mre and mre, it’s like exercise. Maybe I dn’t want t get started, but as I mve the pen acrss the page, I feel strnger. I fell prud f myself. I fell accmplished. The actual cntent f what I write is less imprtant than writing itself. I kept writing, it is pwerful t me, and I see it has the pwer t calm me dwn and sharpen my fcus. Writing has been a gift.
4. What brught abut the authr’s initial anxiety during middle schl years?
A. Talking with friends.B. Keeping a diary.C. Jining a sprts teamD. Seeing a therapist.
5. What des the underlined wrd “alumni” in paragraph 2 mean?

6. Hw des the authr cpe with anxiety thrugh writing?
A. By writing abut his wn feelings.B. By writing letters t his future self.
C. By writing abut ther peple’s stries.D. By writing abut interviews with thers.
7. Why des the authr cnsider writing a gift?
A Because it speaks vlumes abut his psitin.
B. Because it relieves the authr’s sense f pride.
C. Because it makes the authr feel physically strnger.

That bx is my rival. That bx is dm.
But listen t me: yu can get rid f these things. Yur child’s receptin maths bk? Put it in the recycling, my friends, and feel that burden lift. A phtgraph f yu, aged 16, at yur first festival, wearing a pair f jeans? Put it in the bin and never miss it. That secnd cheese grater given t yu by a well-meaning uncle? Take it t the charity shp and delight in the feeling f relief.
Gd, I lve thrwing things away. Nt the irrespnsible, hellfire rush f puring perfectly usable items int landfills, f curse. But taking a bx f tys t a charity shp when my sn is at schl? Delicius.

My mst recent Matterhrn has been my ntebks. As a writer, I have a nagging feeling that I’m meant t keep hld f them. I’m suppsed t save my ntes, interviews, research and bservatins fr the future.

Just as I dn’t particularly want my ffspring t be studying the questins I drafted when I was 29 and sent t interview a lng-distance lrry driver.
Frankly, I hpe we will all have better things t d than read thrugh ur ld ntebks, diaries, address bks, planners, textbks and letters. S, repurpsing. I tear ut the pages and thrw away the cver. And like pulling a cltted mass f hair frm the drain, that sweet unburdening release can cheer me up fr the rest f the day.
There is still plenty in my hme that is bth ugly and wrks badly, but sadly I haven’t sld enugh flwery wallpaper t be able t affrd t replace it. But when the pprtunity arises, d I leap at the chance t thrw that stuff ut f my huse and mve n? Yu bet yur bx f dm I d.

C. The bx signifies his wealth and treasures.D. The bx cntains items with painful memries.
13. What is the authr’s attitude twards abandning items?
A. Depressed.B. Satisfied.C. Frustrated.D. Cautius.
14. Hw has the authr handled his ntebks?
A. Saving fr the future.B. Keeping fr his kids.
C. Recycling fr relief.D. Reviewing after retirement.
15. Hw can we infer frm the last sentence f the passage?
