人与自我·自我管理（2024天津武清区一模）
There was a little girl named Emily. She loved playing outside, reading books, and spending time with friends. However, she was afraid of the dark, especially when she had to go to bed at night. She was afraid that someone or something was hiding in the shadows（阴影）. Emily’s parents tried to make her feel better by telling her there was nothing to fear, but she still couldn’t shake off her fear. They also gave her a night light, but that didn’t help either. Emily just couldn’t get over her fear of the dark.
One day, Emily had a sleepover（睡衣聚会）at Lily’s. After playing games, the two friends put on their pyjamas（睡衣）and got ready for bed. Emily noticed that Lily wasn’t afraid of the dark at all. She didn’t even have a night light in her room! Emily asked Lily why she wasn’t afraid of the dark, and Lily told her that she used to be afraid too, but she learned how to overcome（克服）her fear. Lily shared some ways with Emily, such as taking deep breaths（深呼吸）, thinking happy thoughts, and even imagining that she was a superhero.
Emily decided to try out Lily’s ways that night. She closed her eyes, took some deep breaths, and then started to think about how much fun she had playing with Lily. Before she knew it, she was asleep.
The next day, Emily woke up at about 7 am. She realized that she had overcome her fear of the dark! From that day forward, Emily stopped using her night light and wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore.（E9203003）

31. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, she was afraid of the dark”可知，Emily以前怕黑，故选A。32. B 词义猜测题。画线的短语是shake off，根据该短语所在的句子可知，Emily的父母试图使她感觉好一点，告诉她没什么好害怕的，但她仍然无法摆脱恐惧，shake off意为“摆脱”，故选B。33. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lily shared some ways with Emily, such as taking deep breaths, thinking happy thoughts, and even imagining that she was a superhero.”可知，文章中没有提到“每天早上锻炼”，故选C。34.
