Bad days happen to most of us when we just wake up in a really bad mood.When something has made you angry,sad or disappointed,you still have to get up and go to work.But before you get there,you’re already very angry inside.
Not much fun, huh? Luckily, you can do something about it. 1. .
Accept your bad mood
Being in a bad mood is not that hard.Fighting a bad mood only prolongs(延伸)it,so if you're mad,be mad,and if you’re sad,be sad.This does not give you license to be rude. 2.
Tell others
You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask (面具).Guess what, you're fooling nobody.Your co-workers(同事)will notice and they will wonder what they’ve done to get you out. 3. Simply tell them“Listen,guys!I’m in a really bad mood today.I’m not sure why.If I bite your head off,I apologize in advance(提前道歉).”
Remember the good things
When you’re in a bad mood,everything is bad. 4.
Spend a few moments to try thinking of at least one or two things that aren't all bad,such as something you look forward to,a person you like at work,or something nice that happened recently.
5.
And if you're having a really bad day,it may be a good idea to withdraw(退出)a little if you can.Take a walk in your lunch break.Sit and work somewhere quiet.Take a long bathroom break.Consider going home early or taking the day off.
A.The best thing to do is to tell the people you work closely with.
B.Take some quiet time
C.It’s important to get along well with others.
D.It just means that you need to accept your bad mood to be able to do something.
E..Here are some ways to turn around a bad day.
F.Ask for advice.
G.But the good things you appreciated yesterday are probably still there--you’re just not seeing them.
Heimaey, an island in Iceland, is home to just about 4,200 people. But each spring, more than1.5million puffins (海鹦) visit Heimaey and its neighboring islands. They go there to breed(繁殖). Around August, puffin chicks head for the ocean.That’s when the trouble begins.
Puffin chicks usually follow the light of the moon to the sea. But Heimaey’s bright lights make them unable to think and act right.Each year,a large number of them end up lost—-or worse. Often,some are hit by cars or eaten by cats.
Luckily, there is the Puffling Patrol.Each breeding season,the children of Heimaey work together to form search groups. At night they go to the streets carrying flashlights and cardboard boxes. “When you see a bird, you try to corner it and get it into the box,” Eldur Hansen said. The 14-year-old boy has caught several puffins this way. No one knows exactly when or how the Puffling Patrol got its start.But each year, it saves thousands of puffin chicks.
Puffins are now listed as a vulnerable species(易危物种).The main reason is that the number of small fish in the ocean is dropping. This is because of overfishing, pollution and rising ocean temperatures. Puffins need the fish for food.
Scientists worry puffins will die out if ocean temperatures continue to rise.But the Puffling Patrol inspires them a lot. “The message is that people can make a difference,” says Dr. Stephen W.Kress,an expert in seabird protection.

4.What does Dr.Stephen W.Kress probably agree with?

C.Haimaey has less pollution than before. D.Ocean temperatures will continue to rise.
Brennan Agranoff, a colorblind boy, started his custom sock business in middle school, with a small loan（贷 款）he got from his parents. Up till now, he has sold over 1 million dollars' worth of socks online in the last four years.
Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13 years old. He was attending a high-school basketball game in his hometown of Sherwood, Oregon, and noticed that many kids of his age were wearing the same white Nike sport socks. The boy told himself that if these white plain socks were so popular with kids, then some cool custom designs would surely be an even greater hit.
But the boy didn't tell his parents about the business idea immediately. He spent six months researching things like printing machines and technology and drawing up a business plan. Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan. “They thought the idea was a little out there, ”Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally received a $3,000 loan to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. The fact that he was colorblind didn't stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.
Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers. Right now,his designs can be found on HoopSwagg website, Amazon and eBay.
Four years after starting his business,Brennan has achieved great success while balancing(平衡)school, house chores and his social life. And he says he loves every minute of it.
