Finding the words to explain how you feel isn't always easy. This is why young people's mental health charity has made “My Voice Matters” the theme of this year's Children's Mental Health Week.
36________
Do you have trouble sharing your thoughts or worry no one will listen if you do? Making your voice heard means understanding that your words matter and your opinions count. Dr Julia Clements, a psychologist, says that it means expressing your views, thoughts and feelings, not bottling them all up, and being open to hearing the thoughts, feelings and views of others too.
37________ In fact, you don't have to use your voice at all. “You can express what you like and don't like or what you want for the future by writing or drawing instead,” says Clements. “It's about finding ways to share what matters to you,” she explains.
Why is it important?
38________ Scientists have discovered that sharing your feelings produces a feel - good chemical in your brain that makes you feel relaxed and calm. Your voice can make a big difference to other people too, including friends and family. Clements says, “You can spread kindness and happiness simply by speaking. With a few kind words, you could help someone feel good about themselves or let them know they are supported.”
39________
How can you find your voice?
Clements suggests practising conversations with friends, parents or carers on the way home from school and seeing if you have different opinions about something. If you're struggling to explain your feelings, find a way that feels right for you, whether it's talking face - to - face or writing it down. 40________ “When you're ready, take a deep breath and believe in yourself,” says Clements. “Know that your opinion matters.”

答案： 36. A 此空为本段小标题，需点明本段内容。下文讲“让别人听到你的声音意味着你要明白，你的话很重要，你的意见很重要”“这意味着表达你的观点、想法和感受，而不是把它们憋在心里，同时也要敞开心扉倾听别人的想法、感受和观点”，从这些信息可以概括出本段在讲表达自己想法的含义。故选A项。 37. C 空前讲“这意味着表达你的观点、想法和感受，不要把它们都藏起来，也要敞开心扉倾听别人的想法、感受和观点”，空后讲“事实上你根本不需要用你的声音”，故C项“让自己被听到并不是要最大声地喊叫”可以承上启下。 38. F 空后提到科学家们发现，分享你的感受会在你的大脑中产生一种让你感觉良好的化学物质，让你感到放松和平静，这是表达自己想法的意义之一。F项“与一个你信任的人分享你的感受会有助于你理解它们”回答了小标题Why is it important? 这一问题，紧扣本段的主题。 39. G 空前提到你可以简单地通过说话来传播善良和快乐，用几句友善的话，你可以帮助别人自我感觉良好，或者让他们知道他们得到了支持。G项“语言有能力振奋一个人的精神，对他们的一天产生积极的影响”承接上句。 40. E 本段讲发出你的声音的方式。空前提到如果你很难解释你的感受，找到一种适合你的方式，无论是面对面交谈还是写下来，E项“每个人都有自己的独特的方式来处理和分享他们的感受”在语义上与上句关联，承接上句。
