　　(2017·江苏卷)Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship.It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable_young_people (ages 7～17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.

　　Volunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married，single，with or without children.Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers.They are tutors：someone to trust，to have fun with，to talk and go to when needed.

　　A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months.They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at a park，cooking，playing sport or going to a football match.These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop positive self­respect，confidence and life direction.

　　Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations exist throughout the world.It is the largest and most well­known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.

　　Emily and Sarah have been matched since March 2008.Emily is a 10­year­old girl who has experienced some difficulties being accepted by her schoolmates at school.“I was pretty sure there was something wrong with me.”

　　Emily's mum came across Big Brothers Big Sisters and thought it would be of benefit to Emily by “providing different feedback (反馈) about herself other than just relying on schoolmates to measure her self­worth.”

　　Sarah wanted to get involved in a volunteer program.“I googled it and found out how to be a part of it.I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because sometimes it's all work and no play.”

　　Big Brothers Big Sisters has been of great benefit and enjoyment to both Emily and Sarah.They love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be more comfortable in being the wonderful，happy and unique girl she is!

　　to possess the fight­or­flight stress response，allowing us to survive in a dangerous world.Yet in today's man­made jungle，it has become one of our greatest killers.

　　Even simple tasks，such as driving to work，are often compounded by emotional responses: expletives hurled，fists shaken in anger and aggressive threats made toward other drivers.We forget to turn off our nature and instead allow stress，anger and frustration to take physical control of our bodies.

　　Why Stress，Anger and Frustration are Problematic

　　The problem with stress and anger in the modern world is that most stressful or frustrating scenaries do not require an active physical response.There are no lions or tigers to escape，only imaginary ones.Our inactivity in the face of stress or frustration causes most of us not to recognize that our fight­or­flight response system has been started.Our bodies often exist in a state of constant panic，and the chemicals and hormones released into the blood become toxic，resulting in heart disease，arthritis，osteoporosidiabetesandcertain cancers.The_biological_response_that_has_helped_to_keep_us_from_becoming_prey_for_thousands_of_years_is_now_preying_upon_us.

　　How to Keep Stress，Anger and Frustration from Killing You

　　The first thing to do in the battle against stress and anger is to recognize them.Recognizing triggers and physical responses to stressful situations can help you reduce them.Once you recognize that a stressful situation has triggered a physiological response，the best way to bring the body back into a homeostatic_state is through physical activity.Walking，running，biking，jumping or any energetic activity will help bring the body back into equilibrium.While it may seem strange to do 100 jumping jacks after a stressful meeting or go for a jog after getting into an argument with your wife，it can save your life.It only feels unnatural because our environment is unnatural.Don't let stress，anger or frustration eat at you.Fight back through exercise.

　　Notes：

　　frustration n．挫折　②equilibrium n．平衡

　　长短句分析：Our bodies often exist in a state of constant panic，and the chemicals and hormones released into the blood become toxic，resulting in heart disease，arthritis，osteoporosis，diabetes and certain cancers.

　　句法点睛：and前后为顺承关系，resulting是动名词形式作结果状语。

　　句意：我们的身体常常处于一种持续的恐慌状态，这使得化学物质和释放入血液中的荷尔蒙变得有毒，从而导致心脏病、关节炎、骨质疏松症、糖尿病和某些癌症。

　　【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了面对压力、愤怒和挫折，人们最佳的应对方法——进行体育活动。

　　1．Which of the following isn't mentioned in the passage as the expression of emotional response during driving to work?

　　A．Expletives hurled.

　　B．Sweat all over.

　　C．Fists shaken in anger.

　　D．Aggressive threats.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Even simple tasks，such as driving to work，are often compounded by emotional responses：expletives hurled，fists shaken in anger and aggressive threats made toward other drivers.”可知，A项、C项和D项都在文中有信息支持，只有B项未提及。]

　　2．What can we infer from the underlined sentence?

　　A．Our biological response is not as useful as before.

　　B．There is something wrong with our biological response.

　　C．Our biological response now affects us in a bad way.

　　D．Our biological response now makes us the prey of other livings.

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。这句话直译是“数千年来使得我们成为捕猎者的生物反应现在反过来使得我们成为被捕猎者”。意味着以前帮助我们生存的生物反应现在使得我们在生存中变得十分被动，因而C项正确。其他选项均不合语境。]

　　3．Find out a word which has the similar meaning with the underlined phrase in this passage.

　　A．Equilibrium.

　　B．Stressful.

　　C．Unnatural.

　　D．Frustrating.

　　答案　A　[词义猜测题。由语境可知，使身体回到“homeostatic state”的最好方式是进行体育活动。后面一句对上文进行了进一步解说。equilibrium和homeostatic state是同义词。]

　　4．Which of the following is NOT the right way to keep you from stress，anger and frustration?

　　A．Do jumping jacks.

　　B．Go for a jog.

　　C．Have a walk.

　　D．Stay at home doing nothing.

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。由最后一段最后两句“Don't let stress，anger or frustration eat at you.Fight back through exercise.”可知，击败压力、愤怒和挫折的最好办法是进行体育活动。选项中只有D项不是体育活动。]
