Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．C;3．B;4．D;
解析：

(1)	文中明确提出“Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster．Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood”，还有“Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly”，因此，帮助改变坏情绪的方法是听着音乐做一些锻炼。
(2)	闭上眼睛，想像美妙的景象，如美丽的沙滩，这是一种放松、休闲的方法，这样能使人心境平和、心情放松。文中又有“Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters”可知此题答案为C项。
(3)	文中最后一段第一句，抵制坏情绪的方法有多种，但是电视不在其中(TV may not help much)。从低落的情绪中走出来需要的是增加活力，激活情绪，而“…the TV show ‘Neighbours’won’t do”，可知，电视很难起到这样的作用。
(4)	从内容和形式上看，此文不可能是通知。这是一篇让人们了解一些常识的文章。它的出处可能是在一本杂志上关于养生之道的文章。所以D项是正确的。
