Dear Miss Manners,

Friends of mine lost their home in a house fire.It was terrible.Another friend set up a "go fund me" type page for friends and funnily to donate and help the couple.Many friends, including me, helped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while 'they were getting back on their feet.

Last week, they sent thank-you notes.My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not The notes were not in modularized; it was a printed one-size-fits-all message.My roommate realized I didn't receive a thank you, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out.I didn't know she had done this until later.

The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me!(Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves!)It was accompanied by a picture of the thank-you note, which was texted to me with- the message, "Here is a thank you just for you. "

I was a little annoyed.I helped them in their fume of need and didn't get a second thought.I have not responded to her text message.Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset, or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項.選項中有兩項為多余選項。

We all face quantities of stress in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between. 1. Here’s how stress can help us on an everyday basis.

◆Sharpening your memory.

Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve? Remember that test you passed where the answer seemed to come out of nowhere? 2. It’s because of stress hormones (荷爾蒙) that increase your alertness when it’s most needed.

3.

Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have fewest deadlines? Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.

◆Helping you resist the attack of illness.

4. Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body’s defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.

◆Making your life more interesting.

Think about some stressful situation that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 5.

A. But handled properly, stress can have many benefits for the body and mind.

B. Helping you get an advantage at work.

C. That’s one way your brain responds to stress.

D. This will happen whenever you are stressed.

E. But they’re the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.

F. Helping you get through difficult times.

G. You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.
