Should calligraphy(書法)be taught at school?
Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers , still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning. Chinese need to carry on with it. What's more,calligraphy is fine art,more than writing. Written Chinese is well known for its beauty. For example,every stroke(筆畫)of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of self-cultivation (陶冶自我).It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon?
( ) 1. Our time is called an information age.
( ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture.
( ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing.
( ) 4. Only foreigners enjoy the beauty of calligraphy.
( ) 5. The writer thinks that calligraphy should be taught at school.

You feel sick,so you go to the doctor's. She checks your fever,looks at your throat,and asks what you've been thinking about lately. When you leave,she gives you some medicine,and also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.
Psychologists , scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way that they do,are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)).Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.
Stress(壓力,緊張)is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course,everybody has stress more or less;nobody's life is perfect. In fact,stress is necessary. Without stress,we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body's protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.
When you feel stress,your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline(腎上腺素).Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can't fight or run away from. So you don't use up all that adrenaline. It just stays bottled up inside you,and that's what can do something bad to you.
What can you do about stress? First,you can try to find ways to change things so you aren't under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can't change a stressful situation or you don't even want to. A big change might be a good change,but it will still be stressful.
The link(關(guān)聯(lián))between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress,you need to take especially good care of your body.
It's important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym,you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline.
Of course,a person who isn't used to much physical activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before starting any exercise programs.
( ) 1. A "psychologist" is a person who may help you with your .
A. illness and abilities
B. thoughts and behaviour
C. mind and nervous system
D. physical activity and daily exercise
( ) 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. You shouldn't go to the gym if you are under stress.
B. One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline.
C. Diseases and accidents are caused by stress.
D. Everyone needs stress to improve himself.
( ) 3. From the last sentence of Paragraph 5 we can infer that .
A. it's difficult to change a stressful situation
B. it's not stressful when a good change takes place
C. a big change will cause another stressful situation
D. a stressful situation can't be changed without any effort
( ) 4. What is probably the best title for this passage?
A. The Body-Brain Link B. The Causes of Stress
C. The Advice on Health D. The Nervous System
