三、新情境 时文热点 从方框中选择合适的单词填空，完成短文。
try tired feel understand stop sad bad happy
A "cry-cry toy horse" becomes popular among young people. It has a
sad
face and looks as if it is crying sadly. In fact, the "cry-cry toy horse" is just a worker's mistake when making it—it should be a
happy
horse like others at first.
The factory thinks no one will love this "not perfect" toy. But many people love it. Its crying face touches them. "When we look at it, it feels like seeing ourselves in the mirror," an office worker says. "It's my
tired
face after a day of hard work." For students, it looks like their nervous(焦虑的) faces before an exam.
In this way, we can better
understand
our own tiredness and sadness, and then accept(接受) our
bad
feelings. We also learn that we should
try
to be positive when facing any problems. Nothing can
stop
us from going forward(前进). If you
feel
tired or sad, smile at yourself and then keep going.
