B．Change.C．Amusements.

B．Ignoreit.C．Coveritup. D．Bearitsilently.答案A解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后三句可以推断，哈乔鼓励我们观察、感受、放下和原谅故事，且从中吸取教训。故选A项。11．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“invisible”inthelastparagraphmean?A．Ordinary. B．Rare.C．Hidden. D．Important.答案C解析词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句的结构可知，aswellas意为“还”，连接前后两个相互补充的部分，前为“everythingwecansee”，后为“thethingsaroundusthatareusuallyinvisible”，可推测其含义为“通常我们周围看不见的一切”，故invisible意为“看不见的”。故选C项。12．Fromwhichisthetextprobablytaken?A．Abiography. B．Abookreview.C．Ashortstory. D．Awritingguide.答案B解析文章出处题。根据全文，尤其是第一段中“JoyHarjo’sPoetWarriorisawonderfulbook”及最后一段中“AndPoetWarriorisaninvitationtoopenoureyesandseeitallwithhers.”可推断，本文摘自一篇书评。故选B项。Ⅱ.七选五Asyouknow，mentalhealthissoimportant.Sohowdoyoupromoteit?Ofcourse，it’simportanttofirstnotethatyoushouldseekoutamedicalprofessionalifyouarestrugglingwithyourmentalhealth.1Manyofthesearebackedbyevidencethoughnoteverymethodwillbesuitableforall.Let’slookatsomewaysyoucantakecareofyourownmentalhealth.·2Thefirststeptowardstakingcareofyourmentalhealthistoseekouthelpwhenyou’restruggling.Whetherit’stalkingwithalovedoneorseekingoutamedicalprofessional，gettinghelpwheni
