7．Have you ever felt sick to your stomach during a test？Have you ever been so worried about something that you ended up with a terrible headache？
If so，then you know what it's like to feel stress．You've probably heard people say，"Wow，I'm really stressed out．"（16）B But children have lots of things going on in their lives that can cause stress，too．
What is stress？
Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something．This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad．You may feel angry，frustrated，scared，or afraid---which can give you a stomachache or a headache．
What causes stress？
Plenty of things can cause stress in a child's life．（17）GGood or normal stress might show up when you're called on in class or when you have to give a report．Have you ever gotten butterflies in your stomach or sweaty hands？Those can be signs of good stress．（18）A For example，you may do a better job on your book report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class．
But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over time．You may not feel well if your parents are fighting，if a family member is sick，if you're having problems at school，or if you're going through anything else that makes you upset every day．（19）F
Once you recognize that you're feeling stressed，there are several things you can do．You can try talking about what's bothering you with an adult you trust，like a parent or teacher．（20）C An adult may have ideas about how to solve whatever is worrying you or making you uncomfortable．

A．This kind of stress can help you to get things done．
B．Maybe you hear adults say those kinds of things all the time．
C．Bring up what's been on your mind and how it makes you feel．
D．Everyone experiences stress at times---adults，teens，and even kids．
E．There are ways to reduce stress and manage the stress that's unavoidable．
F．That kind of stress isn't going to help you，and it can actually make you sick．
G．The trick is to remember that some types of stress are good and others are
bad．

6．Although many Chinese students say their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．（36）E However，their spoken English does not have to remain poor．I would suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．
First，（37）B．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary if your attitude is positive．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
Second，（38）G．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowance for any mistakes he hears．
The third，（39）A．You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
Fourth，（40）C．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English，they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their spoken English always remains poor．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
A．not enough attention is paid to listening．
B．they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of limited vocabulary．
C．most Chinese students are not active language learners．
D．They are so stupid that they cannot finish their necessary homework in time．
E．Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say，"My spoken English is poor．"
F．it is no use crying over spilt milk．
G．they are afraid of making mistake．

5．You can take a selfie（自拍） with a hand-held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet．（36）F According to a recent survey，half of the interviewees admitted to taking a selfie while on holiday．Love them or hate them，selfies show no sign of stopping．
After all，the selfie is the most important way to show off on holiday．（37）D How can you take the best holiday selfies？Here are some useful posing tips for you．

◆‘Food chew'style
Want to let everyone know how exciting your holiday food choices are？Hold up some food on your fork or chopsticks．（38）E But don't have food hanging out of your mouth．Remember，food always looks best before being eaten．
◆‘I'm so adventurous'style
Rock climbing，hiking，surfing，or skiing？These adventurous holiday moments are great for a selfie．（39）G One commonly used gesture is spreading out an arm to show how thrilled you are．But remember that no one likes a sweaty selfie．
◆‘I am cultured tourist'style
（40）B You can also try an optical illusion（視錯(cuò)覺）by making it look like you're holding up the leaning tower of Pisa，touching the top of the Eiffel Tower，or picking the Sphinx's nose．
A．Some people have no idea how to take selfies．
B．Just taking a selfie against a famous cultural site makes you look great．
C．Different cultures have different characteristics of food．
D．Everyone has his own way to take the holiday selfies．
E．You can also cut off a piece to show off what's inside．
F．So selfies have been especially popular over the years．
G．Just let the natural settings（環(huán)境）make people go"wow"．

4．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
•Schedule yearly exams．（36）CExperts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
•Protect against UV rays（紫外線）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（37）B
•Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．（38）GExperts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．
•（39）AAs part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins（維生素） C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses（隱形眼鏡）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．（40）EOtherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．
A．Eat your greens．
B．They can properly protect your eyes．
C．Eye care should begin early in life．
D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．
E．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．
F．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．
G．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．

3．Some animals can be trained to help humans．For example，specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely．Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too．（36）C The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings，carry shopping bags and do housework．
In the wild，animals and humans are not usually friends．（37）F In Africa，the honey-guide bird works with humans to find food．The bird likes to eat the grubs （幼蟲）-a type of insect that lives inside a beehive （蜂巢，蜂窩）．It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs．People like to eat honey，but they aren't very good at finding beehives．（38）B The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it．When the people open the beehive and take the honey，they give the grubs to the bird．
In Laguna in the south of Brazil，fishermen and dolphins work as a team．The ocean isn't very clean，so the fishermen can't see the fish．（39）G When the dolphins find a large group of fish，they make a noise to tell the fishermen．Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach．The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets．The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too．In Laguna，fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years．（40）E Meanwhile，the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
A．They attack each other for food or something else．
B．So the bird and the people help each other．
C．They can learn how to help people who can't use their arms or legs．
D．In fact，they usually help to get enough food for their babies．
E．The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins．
F．However，there are a few interesting examples where they can work together．
G．However，dolphins can find them easily by using sounds．

2．My childhood was less than ideal--in fact，I was the only girl in my family who did not run away from home during adolescence．（76）G
．Coming from a blue-collar family and an easy rural high school to a white-collar university that gave a"C"for work that would be a"B"at another school，I felt like a misfit financially，culturally，and educationally．
Somehow I made it through my freshman year，and headed back for the second year．（77）F．
    Barb seemed the exact opposite of me（78）E．．One day I watched Barb draw while waiting for class to start．I sighed，thinking how Barb could do anything she wanted to：draw，paint，sing，and play the guitar．
（79）B．"I wish I was artistic，"I replied．
"Mary，"she said in amazement．"You ARE artistic!"
    I figured she was just being nice，but if Barb thought I was artistic，there must be something to it，even if I thought my only artistic abilities were with words．Thanks to her，I learned to recognize my artistic abilities．
This summer I wrote to Barb and reminded her of that conversation．（80）C．I had removed a closet in my bedroom for more space，and needed to choose colors and wall hangings．I felt quite upset．Just as I was about to give up，I heard Barb's voice in my memory，"Mary，you ARE artistic!"With her words ringing in my head，I found the perfect color for the walls and the perfect pictures for the walls．
    Thanks，Barb，for believing in me all those years ago．
    
A．It was 1990 when Barb said those words for me．
B．Barb heard me sigh，and asked what was wrong．
C．I let her know her words are still working their magic．
D．I'd been writing poems and short stories since I was 12．
E．She was popular，out-going，confident，talented，and artistic．
F．I'm so glad I went back，because that was the year I met Barb．
G．After high school I moved 300 miles away for college，but quickly had second thoughts about whether I belonged there．

1．Time is the most valuable thing that mankind（人類） has．（51）B    Many people try to manage their time．They arrange information and tips in order to effectively do so．
（52）FTime can be managed easily by finding out what is important and arranging these things in the order of importance．In this way you know your direction before making any plans and do not waste time and energy unnecessarily．
Now comes the next question．（53）D The answer is that you need to find out what steps you need to take to do and what you want to do．Then you know how much time to spend for each thing．These steps are like goals．
（54）ENot having them is like walking blindly in a dark room，trying to find the door．
Time management also demands a set schedule that works best for you．In this way you will be able to arrange your tasks based on their importance and finish them．In this way you will not waste your time in beating around the bush．
（55）AThere are lots of things that we need to do in a short time．Therefore，having good time management skills is at the top of the list of things we all need．
A．We all live in a fast paced world now．
B．Using every passing second effectively can benefit us．
C．Could you divide your time equally while doing your work．
D．How do you manage time and what type of information is needed to do so？
E．Setting goals is the most important part of time management．
F．Managing time is not that hard．
G．The aim of time management is to give us a feeling of satisfaction．

20．Communicating with your child is challenging as parents learn to navigate the dos and don'ts of effective talking．However，more and more parents struggle to communicate with their children．Even adults who work with children every day--teachers or coaches--sometimes need some communication tips．（71）DTelling a child to do his homework or get more sleep isn't really communication．It's important information that your child needs，but it lacks an important part of communication．It lacks the two-way exchange of feelings and ideas（72）E．The American Academy of Pediatrics states，"Healthy communication--the kind that builds a strong two-way bridge-is crucial in helping your child develop a healthy personality and good relationships with you and others．It gives your child a chance to become a happy，safe，healthy person，no matter what happens．"
（73）CEffective communication between parents and children is not always easy．Children and adults have different communication styles and different ways of responding in a conversation．The following tips are designed to make communication more successful．
Listen
    Stop what you are doing and pay attention．
    Don't interrupt．
    Reserve judgment until your child has finished and has asked you for a response．
    Look
    Be aware of your child's facial expression and body language．Is your child nervous or uncomfortable--frowning，tapping a foot，looking at the clock？Or does your child seem relaxed--smiling，looking you in the eyes？（74）GRespond
"I am very concerned about…"or"I understand that it is sometimes difficult…"are better ways to respond to your child than beginning sentences with"You should"or"If I were you"．（75）ABesides，it often sounds thoughtful．
Make sure you understand what your child means．Repeat things to your child for confirmation．
A．Speaking for oneself is less likely to be considered an automatic response．
B．These sentences require your child to look at the hidden meaning behind them．
C．So you know it's important，but how do you make it？
D．Many times adults confuse communication with telling a child what to do．
E．True communication takes two people．
F．Take a 5-minute break to calm down before continuing．
G．Reading these signs will help you know how your child is feeling．

19．It is not so easy to disagree with your parents．Here are a few quick tips on how to show your opinion in the right way．（71）A
Don't let angry words fly out of your mouth if you don't really want to say them，or you will have a lot of work to do later．（72）C
How would you feel if you were your mother or father？Why do they do that？Is it really bad？
       Try to stay calm．If you find yourself getting too angry，ask for some time to be alone．（73）G．
       Learn to listen．Maybe your parents aren't as persuasive（具有說服力的） as you think．（74）E．
 Pay attention to needs rather than problems．（75）F．Tell your parents that you want to discuss the problem with them rather than work against them．
    
A．Think before you speak．
B．Never listen to your parents
C．Think about the problem from your parents'point of view．
D．It is quite common to disagree with one's parents．
E．Hear them out and then decide how to deal with the problem．
F．Be clear about what you need，rather than focus on why you disagree．
G．If you can，try to discuss the problem with your parents at another time．

18．There are some very good things about open education．This way of reaching allows the students to grow as people，and to develop their own interests in many subjects．Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education，as they are responsible for what they do in life．Some students do bad in traditional classrooms．The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning．（71）DThey will not have to worry about grades or rules．For students who worry about these things a lot，it is a good idea to be in an open classroom．（72）C
 For some students，there are too few rules．These students will do little in school．They will not make good use of open education，which is very different from traditional education．These students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices．（73）GThey worry about the rules even when there are no rules．Even a few rules will help this kind of students．The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it．（74）ATeachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school．
You now know what open education is，whose good points and bad points have been explained．You may have your own opinion about open education．I think that open education is a good idea，but only in theory．（75）FI believe that most students，but of course not all students，want some structure in their classes．They want and need to have rules．In some cases，they must be made to study some subjects．Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting．They would not study those subjects if they did not have to．

A．Many teachers do not believe in open education．
B．Open education is better than traditional education．
C．But many students will not do well in an open classroom．
D．Some students will be happier in an open education school．
