Ⅳ. Reading comprehension.（阅读理解。）
Many people worry too much about things that might happen or think back again and again about what they did before. This is what we call “overthinking(过虑)”. In fact, the longer you think about something, the more tired and stressed you may be. But can we do something to stop overthinking?
Ethan, a 35-year-old salesman, often found himself staying awake at night, replaying a talk with his boss in his mind. “Am I right? Is there anything wrong with the talk?” The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. One night in bed, he noticed that his body was under great stress and it was hard for him to breathe. He decided to get out of bed and started doing simple exercises. After a few minutes, he felt less nervous. Then he kept his mind on his body, and stopped worrying too much about his mistakes. As he exercised more, he felt greatly relaxed.
Next time you start worrying too much or getting nervous, try to put your mind on your body instead. You may go for a walk or do push-ups until you are sweating(出汗). Holding something cold or warm can also help you feel better quickly. “4-7-8 breathing” is another useful method. That is to spend four seconds taking a deep breath, hold it for seven seconds and then breathe out for eight seconds. Soon, you’ll find your mind is peaceful again.
