In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe,fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University.I had never before seen a man so tall as he,and so ugly.I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.

His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness.They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears,of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.

Indeed,his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself.My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o’clock classes.

Upon arriving at the university that day,I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office.He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall,and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.

He stepped in,remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out.”Tell me what you see.”I said as I took his place in the room,leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.Without the least hesitation and without a single error,he gave the number of seats in the room,pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls,named the colors each student was wearing,pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard,spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor,and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.

As I rejoined Wolfe,I was speechless with surprise.He,on the contrary,was wholly calm as he said,”The worst thing about it is that I’ll remember it all.”

1. What do we learn about Wolfe from the passage（）？

AHe tried hard to remember what was in the classroom

BHe stayed in the classroom for a short time

CHe stayed drew a picture of Washington Square

DHe followed the author into the classroom

Moods,say the experts,are feelings that are likely to become fixed,having effects on one's outlook (way of looking at things )for hours,days or even weeks.That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one,bu a problem if you are sad,anxious,angry or simply lonely. Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out;sometimes,though,there is no one to listen.Modern pharmacology（药物学）offers a lot tranquilizers（镇静剂）and anti-anxiety drugs.What many people don't realize,however,is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs,and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts,don't head for the drug store—try the following method. Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques,aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood.“If you could keep the exercise,you’d be in high spirits,”says Kathryn Lance,author of Running for Health and Beauty. Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as mood-raiser.Physical work such as housework,however,does little.The key is aerobic exercise-running,cycling,walking,swimming,or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation（循环），and improve the body's use of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a time,three to five times a week.

3. “Feel out of sorts”,as it is used in the second paragraph,could best be replaced by______.

Aput things in order

Bare in a bad mood

Csearch for tranquilizers

Dwant a mood-raiser
