Tips to Ease Migraines
If you've ever experienced migraine headache, you know that it's no walk in the park. Migraines are very painful type of headache, often felt on one or both sides of a head. Some people experience migraines every now and then, while others get them more than once a week. 【1】 Although they are not dangerous to life, migraines can seriously affect one's ability to function throughout the day. Here are four tips for easing migraines:
1. Learn to manage. Migraines are often caused by stress, so try not to get stressed out easily. 【2】 Learning stress management techniques can reduce and even prevent the pain of a migraine headache. You can do this by taking a yoga lesson. If you prefer to practice relaxation at home, then try lying down on your bed or sofa and closing your eyes. Take slow, deep breaths and focus on relaxing each muscle group one at a time until you hate relaxed every single muscle in your body.
2. Use ice massage(按摩). Another solution is the "ice massage". Put your fingers into ice-cold water and then press your temples(太阳穴) until the pain decreases. 【3】
3. Drink lots and lots of water. You can also get migraines if your body lacks water. Avoid dehydration by staying out of the sun and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Carry a water bottle with you. 【4】

【题目】In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children’s lives. A local policeman described it this way: “… I guess when your back is up against the wall, we come up with super-human strength.”
Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(肾上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Today’s stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
【1】In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to______.
A. introduce the topic to be followed
B. remind us of the unexpected danger of life
C. praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
D. show the importance of super-human strength
【2】What does the policeman probably mean by saying “your back is up against the wall”?
A. You are helped. B. You are inspired.
C.You are confident. D. You are cornered.
【3】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Brave Mother
B. The Cause of Stress
C. The Benefit of Stress
D. Super-human Strength

【题目】 If your parents take out a loan, remind themselves to make the payments on time. Otherwise it will become a negative record in their personal credit reports, which are playing an increasingly big role in people's daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, underlines this trend.
According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to finance his university studies. After he graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan applications. The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.
A personal credit rating is becoming an essential “pass” in everyday life, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.
A credit report estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a country. It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrower's overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the refusal of a loan by the lender.
Today in China, credit history in banks is the major content of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank.
Personal information such as appearance, genetic data, fingerprints, blood type, disease history, ethnic identity, family and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit reports, according to a draft regulation on credit rating issued last year by the Sate Council. The authors of the draft have just finished soliciting(征求) public opinions.
The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database. Credit reports for all people with bank transactions (交易)began in 2006.
A personal credit rating is important to the social and economic activities of a person. According to the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years.
【1】The author took the story as an example in order to ________.
A. warn us of the importance of our personal credit report
B. tell us the story of a Chongqing student
C. encourage us to use credits widely
D. inform us to apply for a loan at university
【2】Credit reports will include the following except ________.
A. taxes B. telephone bills
C. water use fees D. genetic data
【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Personal credit systems go back 150 years in China.
B. You can turn to the People's Bank of China for the information about your credit report.
C. Credit history in banks is the only content of a
D. Credit reports began in 2006 in China.
【4】What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Credit Report Rating
B. Credit in China
C. Credit Really Counts
D. Credit Report Contents

Recently we had a discussion about whether it is necessary to have daily homework. 70% of my classmates are willing to accept as daily homework. They think homework helps them review that has been taught in class. Besides, by doing daily homework, they can well understand and memorize their lessons. Furthermore, their skills in managing time can too be improved. However, 30% the students have different idea. They believe that homework reduces their amount of time with their families, not mention the time for other activities. With much homework to do, students feel tiring, and will gradually lose interest in their lessons. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary, and it must serve a purpose and be fit to a student's ability. Also, the amount of homework should be limiting.
