We all worry at times, and there is probably no way to stop worrying forever.There are some ways to stop right now, however.The following tips on how to stop worrying come from experience, because I’ve always been a bit of a worrier, and I had to learn some good techniques for stopping this energy-sucking habit.Here are five of the best.
1.________.Any action towards a goal tends to diminish(使减小) worry.Thinking too much about your goals or plans will cause you worry and stress.Of course you should plan well, but when planning is carried towards worrying, it’s time to start doing something positive.
2.________.When you want to stop worrying too much about a problem, you need to make decisive decisions, and even bad decisions may be better than doing nothing.Often you will immediately resolve(解决)the stress when you, for example, finally decide to give up that job, buy that house, or make that phone call.Nothing makes you with worry as much as decisions waiting to be made.Make them now, or at least start gathering the information you need to make them.If they proved to be bad decisions, just make new ones.
3.________.Too many things going on in your head?Put them on lists and you may feel better.It works well for many of us worriers.When you are thinking too much about something, and you stop to plan a time to work on it, or just put it on a list, it is easier to let go of it for now.Write down that phone call you have to make on tomorrow’s list, and you’ll feel less worried now.You’re basically creating“mental categories”.In fact, just saying to yourself,“There’s nothing I can do about this until Monday,”can put a worry into a category of“nothing to worry about right now.”
4.________.To get away worry when there are real problems, try to face them head-on(正面的/地), and decide them quickly.I once had to sue(起诉)someone over a business matter, and I was worrying about it for weeks.When I finally just filed the papers, got on the phone, and came to an agreement, my stress was gone.Actually, my worrying began to disappear as soon as I started acting.
5.________.Planning in mind is a great way to relax and to stop worrying, but what if you don’t have the time for more involved meditative practice?Don’t worry.Just try this:close your eyes, let the tension out of your body and take several deep breaths through your nose.That’s it.Want even easier meditation?Try brain wave entertainment CDs that do all the work for you.Just pop on the headphones and they’ll relax you by slowing your brain waves.
Try the above techniques.Make habits out of whichever ones work best to stop your worries.They need to be habits because nothing works if you forget to use it.In fact, until they become habitual, you may want to carry a list of your favorite techniques for eliminating worry.
A.Make decisive decisions
B.Deal with problems directly and quickly
C.Plan in mind to get worry away
D.Use mental categories
E.Put worries on the lists
F.Take action now

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas(胰腺). I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which was doctor’s code for preparing to die. It meant to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It meant to make sure everything was buttoned up so that it would be as easy as possible for your family. It meant to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy(活组织检查). I was calm, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
This is the closest I’ve been to facing death. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by the principle — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
1.The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to let the readers __________.
A.be brave when facing a cancer
B.treasure their lifetime to fulfill their own business
C.know a sorrowful experience of his won
D.know how he treasured his family.
2.Why can the author's illness be cured so soon?
A.He prepared everything in order. B.He had a biopsy.
C.His pancreatic cancer can be curable with surgery. D.His wife helped him.
3.The impression the author gave readers is that __________.
A.he was so optimistic that the incurable illness wouldn't bring him down.
B.he could leave death alone and had enough courage to become what he wanted to.
C.he was so determined that he wasn't scared at death.
D.he was such a responsible man that he prepared well before he died.
4.What does the underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Gods. B.The doctors
C.Heart and intuition D.Other persons
It was raining as I got off the train in Nashville, Tennessee. I was tired so I went straight to my hotel.
A big, heavy man was walking up and down in the hotel lobby. Something about the way he moved made me think of a hungry dog looking for a bone. He had a big, fat, red face and a sleepy expression in his eyes. He introduced himself as Wentworth Caswell – Major Wentworth Caswell – from “a fine southern family”. Caswell pulled me into the hotel’s barroom and yelled for a waiter. We ordered drinks. While we drank, he talked continually about himself, his family, his wife and her family. He said his wife was rich. He showed me a handful of silver coins that he pulled from his coat pocket.
By this time, I had decided that I wanted no more of him. I said good night.
I was born in the south myself. But I live in New York now. I write for a large magazine. My boss had asked me to go to Nashville. The magazine had received some stories and poems from a writer in Nashville, named Azalea Adair. The editor liked her work very much. The publisher asked me to get her to sign an agreement to write only for his magazine.
I left the hotel at nine o’clock the next morning to find Miss Adair. It was still raining. As soon as I stepped outside I met Uncle Caesar. He was a big, old black man with fuzzy gray hair. Uncle Caesar was wearing the strangest coat I had ever seen. It must have been a military officer’s coat. It was very long and when it was new it had been gray. But now rain, sun and age had made it a rainbow of colors. Only one of the buttons was left. It was yellow and as big as a fifty cent coin.
Uncle Caesar stood near a horse and carriage. He opened the carriage door and said softly, “Step right in, sir. I’ll take you anywhere in the city.”
“I want to go to 861 Jasmine Street,” I said, and I started to climb into the carriage. But the old man stopped me. “Why do you want to go there, sir?”
“What business is it of yours?” I said angrily. Uncle Caesar relaxed and smiled. “Nothing, sir. But it’s a lonely part of town. Just step in and I’ll take you there right away.”
861 Jasmine Street had been a fine house once, but now it was old and dying. I got out of the carriage.
“That will be two dollars, sir,” Uncle Caesar said. I gave him two one-dollar bills. As I handed them to him, I noticed that one had been torn in half and fixed with a piece of blue paper. Also, the upper right hand corner was missing.
