They consider 3. as a “safety seeking behavior” which reduces anxiety in the moment. But over time, safety behaviours actually feed anxiety 4. they prevent people from realising their fear has no basis once the situation has actually unfolded, or that it is something they’re able to cope with.

So we need to learn to face uncertainty, 5. is essential to managing our mental health. By sitting with uncertainty, a person 6. (gradual) learns to distract themselves, letting go of trying to control situations and realises they can survive the pain of “not knowing” in the situation. Using phones to push the worry onto another person 7. (prevent) self-management from occurring. Often, we don’t realise that after 8. little while and sometimes a lot of distraction, the unpleasant feeling will go away.

I was both excited and a little scared in my first day of kindergarten. The large classroom was full of books and        , two kinds of things that I loved. But it was also full of kids all   than me. Because my       was in late September, I was     in at only 4 years old, and this meant I was destined(注定的) to be smallest kid in my     until the 7th grade.

I think my mom sensed I was a little     . That was why she was always there to pick me up right after school when I could have     ridden the bus. I would sit in the front seat     her and tell her all about my     . Sometimes we would even read a book and       until all the cars and the buses had left before we     home. I felt so safe and peaceful when we sat in the car together. I    those special times when I had my mom all to myself. Beginning the new challenge of school didn’t seem so     when I knew I could talk about it with her. Being a tiny, little kid in a big scary     wasn’t so bad either.

    Art and culture is lived and breathed in every corner of Canada. Due to a racial and immigrant(移民的) population, the variety and richness of art and sports is very evident.

Since World War Ⅱ, Canada has produced an impressive amount of writing. From novels to poetry, the selection is wide. Native writers are also becoming better known across Canada in recent years.

Musicians are reaching a higher level of recognition in the world music scene. Everything from country to pop, classical to heavy rock can be found across Canada and across the globe performed by Canadian artists.

The National Film Board, a film crew in Canada, is the most famous producer of movies in Canada. However, many Hollywood studios are turning to Canada as an alternative(供替代的选择) to the more expensive US. Many well-known actors, directors, screen writers and movies come from Canada and often scoop awards for their work.

French art was the first to appear in Canada along the St Lawrence in and around Quebec. Since then the volume of art and artists has increased. Canadian photography as well as painting by Canadians is not well-known outside of Canada but recognition is increasing.

    How can you change negative(消极的) thoughts? Many people suggest changing your attitude by thinking of something bright and happy.

However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.

“It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.

Scientists believed that the way we remember emotional messages is affected by our mood. Those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than active messages, especially when the information is about them.

In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机). Half of the people were encouraged to mimic (模仿) a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept equal for both groups.

During the time on the treadmill, the scientists read out a list of active and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember.

As expected, those who had been mimicking a depressed walk remembered more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner.

This finding means that our walk influences the way we treat information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
