A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolutions: we stopped talking to one another.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently，and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another, With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person my more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to use. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.
More and more .I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk, The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier…or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts．
So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging. with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood （心情）will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, including the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers.（“I still don’t have a job.” Vs” I have two interviews next week.”）
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. There include de3ep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(复杂的)but aren’t. One easy way to visualize, close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to unhappiness is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won’t improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate（刺激）your mind-something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.
1.Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books．Half the students sneered（冷笑）, the（36）nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, （37）geniuses（天才）can become writers,” the English teacher said ， “And you are getting a D this term,” I was so （38）that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short（39）poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my（40）, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and（41）writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They （42）. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted （43）. I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was （44） with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of （45）, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I （46） from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I （47） mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and （48） people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their （49）.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. I wrote what I felt. It （50） nine months, just like a pregnant woman. I mailed it without a sell addressed stamped （51） and without making a copy of the manuscript.
A month later I received a（n）（52）, and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. （53）years I earned between five thousand and ten thousand. No, it isn’t enough to live （54）, but it’s still more than I’d make working part time. People ask what college I（55）, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius.
