Question

    Anger and sadness are important in life. New research shows that experiencing and accepting such feelings is good.

Positive (积极的) thoughts and feelings are, of course, good for our health. But unpleasant feelings are just as important as the enjoyable ones in helping us understand life's ups and downs. Negative (消极的) feelings are important because they can tell us that we may have a health problem, or we need to pay attention to other important matters such as friendship.

Instead of avoiding negative feelings, we should accept them. Many people find it helpful to breathe slowly and deeply while learning to accept negative feelings or imagine the feelings as clouds to remind them that they will pass.

If the feelings are very strong, you may want to express how you feel in a diary or to other persons. You may want to tell the friend that her words hurt you or take steps to leave the job that makes you unhappy.

You should pay attention to your breathing and simply acknowledge (承认) any bad thoughts or feelings. This may make it easier to accept unpleasant thoughts.

It is impossible to avoid negative feelings fully, because to live is to experience losing and pain. Therefore, learning how to deal with those feelings is very important.

【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了积极情绪和消极情绪都是生活中重要的情感，缺一不可。文章还介绍了几种应对消极情绪的方法。

1.主旨大意题。根据“But unpleasant feelings are just as important as the enjoyable ones”及本段内容可知，本段主要介绍了积极情绪和消极情绪在人们的生活中扮演着同样重要的角色。故选D。

2.推理判断题。根据“…while learning to accept negative feelings or imagine the feelings as clouds to remind them that they will pass”可知，在学习接受消极情绪或把消极情绪想象成云彩来提醒它们会过去的时候，慢慢地深呼吸是有帮助的，故此处的they指代的是前文中提到的negative feelings消极情绪。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据“Many people find it helpful to breathe slowly and deeply…you may want to express how you feel in a diary or to other persons”可知，我们可以通过深呼吸、写日记或者向他人倾诉的方式处理消极情绪。根据“Instead of avoiding negative feelings, we should accept them”可知，回避消极情绪则是一种不可取的方式。故选A。

4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It is impossible to avoid negative feelings fully, because to live is to experience losing and pain”可知，人生是无法完全避免消极情绪的，因此每个人一生中都会经历愤怒和悲伤等消极情绪。故选D。
