    How to beat nerves

    Do you blank out, freeze up （呆住） or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night?

    If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.

    But, don’t panic. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.

    Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline （肾上腺素）, which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel shaky（weak）, hot, or even sick.

    If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.

    When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to ‘STOP!’ This will get your mind off the stress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence.

    Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: “I've studied hard and I know the material, so I’m ready to do the best I can.” Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.

    Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills. for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control.

    1．The main purpose of the passage is to         .

           A．tell you that worrying is no good

           B．show the ways to overcome test anxiety

           C．describe the effects caused by exams

           D．suggest making full preparations for exams

    2．From the passage, we know that when you experience test anxiety, you        .

           A．are no longer sure of yourself and cannot think clearly

           B．develop negative thoughts about yourself in everyday life

           C．feel so nervous that you can’t sleep before the test

           D．feel anxious in the exam and always fail in exams

    3．The phrase “last but not least” at the last paragraph means       .

           A．the last but actually there are more        

    B．the last in order and importance

           C．the last but as important as others         

    D．the last but the most important

    4．From the passage, we can infer that        .

           A．you should not place too high expectations on yourself

           B．low scores in exams are only a result of test anxiety

           C．you need to get yourself completely under control

        D．test anxiety forms good study habits

    How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient’s body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.
    What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient’s body.
    Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body, X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.
    A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.
    Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually don’t cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X rays.
    CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives

    1. 1.

      What is NOT true of a CAT scan?

      1. A.
        It is safer than regular X rays
      2. B.
        It makes use of computer techniques
      3. C.
        It can stop the action of an organ for a short time
      4. D.
        It gives clear pictures of active, moving body parts
    2. 2.

      The underlined words “a foreign object”（Para 3）most probably refer to

      1. A.
        a badly injured part inside the body
      2. B.
        a new thing that is unknown to the doctor
      3. C.
        a strange organ that has grown in the body
      4. D.
        an object that gets inside the body by chance
    3. 3.

      What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?

      1. A.
        It provides clear photos of moving organs
      2. B.
        It can take 3-dimension（三维）pictures of inside organs
      3. C.
        It won’t cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body
      4. D.
        It helps to find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening it up
    4. 4.

      1. A.
        patients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiation
      2. B.
        doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners

        CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines
      4. D.
        CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it
    5. 5.

      The best title of this passage might be

      1. A.
        the Newest Medical Invention
      2. B.
        New X-ray Machine to Save Lives

    任务型读写。
         阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
         Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing?
    Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and
    talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his
    parents when he was a teenager.    
        "I would never have said to my mom,' Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?'" says Ballmer. "There was just a complete gap in taste."  
        Music was not the only gulf (分歧). From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier
    generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.    
        Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are
    comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust
    and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
        No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friends."    
        But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.    
        "There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change
    happening," says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents."    
        Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving(演化的) roles and attitudes. They see
    the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more
    democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.    
        "My parents were on the 'before' side of that change, but today's parents, the 40-year-olds,were on
    the 'after' side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days,
    because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be
    a parent now."

    Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing number of hill-walkers in the region as sources of international news.
    In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student's colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
    The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime, watching a growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and watched.
    Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the official at the door and said "Pole Vault". The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next came a heavy-set man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon in a modern city. The man shouted " Javelin " and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with a steel ball in his hand. He shouted "Shot Putt" and walked past the official.
    It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and sure enough under the heading "events" he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
    An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with "Scotland" written across the chest. Over his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official and as casually as he could, shouted, "Fencing!"

        intelligent        
      3. C.
        strong-minded  
      4. D.
        athletic



    5. 5.
