Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)

One evening after dinner, my six-year-old son had a total breakdown. He yelled and even hit his eight-year-old sister just because she would not share a stuffed animal. In that desperate parenting moment, I shouted at him, “Use your words!” Both kids froze for a second, and that short pause gave me enough time to calm down my quickly rising anger.
Later, I realized I had never explained to my kids why words are so helpful. As a psychologist, I study how putting our feelings into words can change our experiences. It not only helps us handle heated moments but also supports healing from life's hardest situations. Research on expressive disclosure(表露)shows it can bring big health improvements, especially for people dealing with stressful events. Those who write about their tough times visit doctors less, feel less pain, have stronger immune systems, and cope better with their problems.
What surprised me most is that naming our feelings can actually transform the feelings themselves. Putting a strong emotion into words can weaken its immediate force, and it can also reshape our emotional memories. This process is called memory reconsolidation. When we talk or write about painful or overwhelming events, we don't just relive(再次体验)them. Instead, we take it out of long-term memory, reorganize it with words, and put it back as a new, less painful memory. We add meaning and context, which reduces the pain it causes.
Of course, “use your words” is a tool that needs practice. Kids cannot think clearly when they are upset, so my wife and I talk to our children when they are calm. We help them build emotional vocabulary and plan how to respond to anger next time. Now, our daughter says “I'm so mad” when frustrated instead of acting out, and our son tries to ask politely for toys. These small wins do not just solve conflicts—they help kids feel capable, which is the foundation of long-term well-being.
1. Why does the author mention his son's breakdown in Paragraph 1? (
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To raise readers' awareness.
C. To prove his own theory.
D. To draw a conclusion.
2. What is a function of expressive disclosure? (
A. It treats diseases.
B. It settles arguments.
C. It improves health.
D. It removes toughness.
3. What's Paragraph 3 mainly about? (
A. How strong emotion disappears.
B. How physical pains are removed.
C. How annoying events are relived.
D. How using words shifts feelings.
4. Which of the following might the author agree with? (
A. Calmness is the foundation of well-being.
B. A problem expressed is a problem halved.
C. There is no conflict that cannot be resolved.
D. Follow your feeling, but take your brain with it.
