【题目】阅读短文,根据其内容,补全下面表格。每空答案不超过两个词
Exam stress is experienced by many students. They often feel stressed when getting ready for exams. Many students feel a certain level of stress because of the expectations of their teachers and family. They want to make everyone satisfied and do their best so as not to let anyone down. This high goal can make the problem of exam stress get worse.
Some of exam stress can come from the students themselves. If the students are afraid of failure, a bad grade on an exam may be their greatest fear. If they think about the exam’s difficulty and worry about their grades, they will almost certainly get stressed.
If students feel as if they haven’t prepared for the exam so well, they will have a foreboding (有不祥预感的) feeling on test day.
Also, if students don’t get enough sleep the night before, they will feel more stressed. Feeling nervous before a big exam may always be part of school life. But it’s important not to let it get out of control. If students know why they have exam stress, they can take action to prevent it.

【题目】 Every culture has some kinds of person-to-person greeting. But they are different all over the world.
In some countries such as the United States, handshakes and hugs are very common. In many European cultures, kisses on the cheek or air kisses are the thing to do when greeting people. And if you play on a sports team, high fives may be the greeting — no matter what your cultural background.
These are our traditions during normal times.
With the outbreak of the new coronavirus (新冠病毒), health official (官员) all over the world are asking people to wash their hands frequently. People are warned to avoid large crowds to control the spread of the disease. This has led to new ways of greeting around the world.
In the video, a man offers his hand to another man for a handshake. Instead of shaking hands, the two men greet each other by kicking feet — quick right kick, quick left kick. The video then shows more men greeting each other this way. It looks like a dance step or a soccer move.
Other videos are appearing on social media showing people in other parts of the world using the foot tap as a greeting.

So, she says she had changed her guest greeting rule, “So, starting today (March 12) was telling all my guest who appear in the studio — we don’t shake hands anymore. We do elbow touch, we do foot tapping or, we say, foot kissing ...”
Another reporter in VOA, Sharon Wu, is taking a different way. For now, she has not changed the way she greets guests. However, she has a new after-greeting habit — group hand-washing. “Recently we’ve had some guests coming to the studio. And for me, I still shake hands with them. But after that I say, ‘Okay. Let’s both go to the restroom and wash hands.’”
【1】According to the passage, how do people in Europe usually greet each other?
They usually have _________________ when they greet each other.
【2】Why governments warn people to avoid large crowds recently?
Because they are trying to ___________________.
【3】How do the two men greet each other in the first video?
