Minimalism (简约主义) is a term that describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is reduced to its most basic features.
As for me, minimalism functions well not in art or design, but in my daily life.
When I was packing for university, I found it extremely difficult to let go of some of the things I owned. I knew I couldn’t take everything with me, but I kept asking myself “how could I possibly throw this away?”, “what if I need it one day?”, and “what about all of the memories?” Now that I’ve moved, and left that stuff behind, I don’t even miss it. Whether or not I got rid of it, it barely makes a bit of difference to me now.
I’ve learned that over time people forget, or their need for a particular object eventually disappears. Either they store it away or they get rid of it.
You might think nostalgically(怀旧的) about the toys you cared about when you were a child, but what is making you smile now is not the thing itself but the memory of it. 1’ve heard it a hundred times, “you don’t need things to make you happy.” It takes something life-changing like moving across the country to realize how true this is.
Speaking of which, for a lot of people, minimalism is about able to move. It’s about being able to go almost anywhere at any time because you don’t have many possessions to carry. When you keep things you don’t need they become a burden that ties you to a place. Moving to university was a good time to let go of a lot of stuff. And when I visit for the holidays, I’ll probably get rid of even more, to lighten the burden.
Of course there are exceptions. There are some things that are irreplaceable, very rare or expensive or we simply love and cherish for some reason or another, since we are humans. But after we keep those, how much is left that we don’t really need?
Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, it’s because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.
Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy – really living life to our full potential.
I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I can’t do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.
小题1:In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to      .
A.introduce a topicB.present his own idea
C.describe a sceneD.offer an argument

A.they haven’t had any life-changing experiences
B.they fear their memories will be gone with the thrown-away stuff

D.they may have to change their lifestyle because of the loss of them

A.It takes the burden off her while she is moving.
B.It reduces her attachment to her personal things.
C.It enables her to gain the freedom that she desires.
D.It helps her to realize how true life is.
小题4:By saying “there are exceptions”, the writer means       
A.little is left if we keep what we cherish most in our life
B.minimalism should be practised accordingly in different situations
C.minimalism is a method difficult to employ in reality
D.life is full of exceptions so it’s difficult to preserve what we value

Have you ever hated anyone? Well, probably you don’t really hate them. But you do get angry the moment you think of them. If you don’t get out of the anger, it may turn into bitterness(积怨).
Bitterness can come about when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But we keep it deep inside instead of working through the anger. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. The bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurt us. We may think we are hurting that person, but we are really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body. It can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure. Bitterness can stop us from concentrating on important things. Instead, we waste time thinking about how we have been hurt.
Finally, holding on to bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry, negative person for very long.
Author Chuck Swindoll once said, “ Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.” That means when someone hurts you, your response is more important than what happened. You can choose to let go of hurt. You can also choose to hold on to hurt, which results in bitterness.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it.
You may feel you have a fight to be angry. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look sad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person.
Forgive and forget it.
The best thing you can do is to forgive and forget. You probably can’t totally put the act out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Let it go and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
小题1:If we don’t release anger, _____ .
A.We will always be criticized and hurt

D.We will not be particular about what others do

A.The relationships hurt by bitterness.
B.The illness caused by bitterness

D.The negative effects of bitterness
小题3:The author advises us to do the following EXCEPT_____.
A.to hold on to bitterness inside us
B.to forgive the one who hurts you
C.to stop making excuses for the bitterness
D.to forget others’ rude behavior

Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨)than those who have a support system of friends.
Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don"t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.
One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and protected against the symptoms(症状)of depression and loneliness.
Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men while men are more likely to have a "fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically (心理上), friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the differ­ence in the length of one"s life time.
小题1:In the author"s opinion, a real friend should          .
A.tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it
B.try to persuade you to change your mind quickly
C.judge your decision according to his, her experience
D.give you advice but respect your own decision
小题2:Women benefit more from friendship than men because         .
A.women are always cared for by more people than men
B.women are usually less stress-out when staying with others
C.women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help
D.women can always keep more long-life friendship than men
小题3:According to the passage we can infer that          .
A.it"s good for women to tell men what they should do or not
B.friends are always more important than family members
C.men don"t want to share their problems with many people
D.the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed
小题4:This passage mainly talks about         .
A.why people should develop friendship
B.when friendship affects people"s health
C.people’s different attitudes towards friendship
D.the friendship which can make people live longer
