阅读理解(苏州市立达中学2024年期中真题)
请阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳选项。

Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day. The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you're prepared enough. Or maybe everyone will laugh at you if you lose. Well, you might be overthinking.
Overthinking means thinking about the same thing again and again, leading you to see things in the worst possible way. This is because our brains are always looking for dangers so that they can make plans to deal with those dangers and keep us safe. Those dangers in mind may come from past experiences or the "what ifs" we imagine could happen in the future.
Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible direction and get ready for what might happen. However, research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed, worried and unhappy.
What's more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others. As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might misunderstand what they mean.
So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can focus on something else instead of the problem itself. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you're doing something fun, like gardening, watching a comedy or even sleeping.
Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they will be sure to happen and think about other possibilities. It can be hard at first, but the following ways can help you know whether you are overthinking.
(C) 1. If you are a person who is always overthinking, what might you think if you lose a basketball game?
A. I believe I will do better next time if I practise harder.
B. I will talk with my coach to find out why I lose the game.
C. My teachers will not like me and the classmates will laugh at me.
D. Although I lose the game, I will treat myself to something delicious.
() 2. Overthinking can make us have the following feelings EXCEPT being D.
A. stressed
B. worried
C. unhappy
D. excited
(B) 3. How does the writer support his idea in Paragraph 5?
A. By listing numbers.
B. By giving examples.
C. By showing pictures.
