阅读下列短文并回答问题。

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid — all these can give you a stomachache or a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you're called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. 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 anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn't going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: sleep, exercise, leisure (休闲), and food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you'll probably feel less stressed.

1.What is stress according to the text? (No more than 15 words.)

2.Why are some kinds of stress good? (No more than 15 words.)

3.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? (No more than 10 words.)

Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that’s because you don’t know how to select the perfect schedule．But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times．

First, you must find the right courses．These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors．Ask your friends about courses in which they received A’s after attending only 70 percent of the classes．Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years．Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school．Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully．Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject．Look for titles like “Arts and Crafts for Beginners,” and “Rock Music of the 1950s．”

Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects you can begin to select your time periods．If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon．You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you’re one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning．On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes as early as possible．That way you have the rest of the day free．Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opera（肥皂剧）fan．

Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully．The main way to do this is to register（注册）early．If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldn’t register at 7:00 a．m．, you may still be able to get in．Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students．Be sure to carry a list of backup courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods．By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule．College can thus become an almost pleasant activity．

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A．You can get copies of tests if you are willing to pay the price．

B．“Rock Music of the 1950s” may be an easy course．

C．It is difficult to pick the perfect class schedule．

D．Attendance is required in all classes．

2.You should________ ．

A．register for classes in the morning if you get up early

B．have classes late in the morning if you stay up late

C．sign up for afternoon classes if you want to see soap operas

D．choose classes in the evening if you want to watch old films

3.If a course happens to be closed, you should ________．

A．register at 7:00 a．m．                       B．sit in on the class anyway

C．register for a backup course                 D．get help from the professor

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Course Registration Made Easy       B．How to Find the Right Courses

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.

Last week when I was on the train, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation—in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.

Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were worried at the thought of driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.

She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.

There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and learn all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom, there is always one for you.

It surely beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.

Do you look happy? angry? Have you ever wondered how you know what another person’s mood is just by looking at his or her face? Studies have shown that one instantaneously (瞬间地) and subconsciously makes a determination of another person’s mood just by glancing at the position and appearance of both the eyebrows and mouth. But what if only the position of the eyebrows was varied , and not the mouth? Would you still be able to determine his or her mood or personality just by seeing the eyebrows?

Observe the four faces shown below. Notice how each face has exactly the same shape. the same smile, and the same eyes. The only difference between each of the faces is the position of the eyebrows.

Low, flat eyebrows that hang over the eyes indicate tiredness, while an eyebrow that is highest in the middle denotes sadness. Downward slanting eyebrows show anger, while highly arched eyebrows show happiness.

Frequently, malposition of the eyebrows, such as eyebrow sagging(下垂) and upper eyelid fullness, can be overlooked when considering facial aging and expression. Furthermore, the heavy eyebrow skin pushed the eyelid down causing a tired appearance.

To avoid eyebrow sagging, many people raise their eyebrows to remove the brow and eyelid skin from their visual space. These people eventually develop wrinkles in the forehead due to the constant movement of the muscles that raise the eyebrow. In addition, there are those who are sensitive to light and frequently’ squint(斜视) and squeeze’ their eyes. This effectively pulls the eyebrows down and leads to wrinkles between the eyebrows and at the corners of the eyes.

Botox is an effective measure for fine lines of the forehead and lines between the eyebrows. Botox works by freezing the muscle movement for several months. For the purpose of creating a more pleasant appearance, the best corrective measure is brow-lift surgery.

A.An advertisement B.A magazine article

C.A business report D.A scientific report

2.A person’s eyebrows that hang over the eyes low and flat can cause a(n) _____appearance.

A.sad B.tired C.happy D.angry

B.To arouse people’s interest in the best way of removing wrinkles in the forehead and between the eyebrows.

C.To explain what leads to wrinkles in the forehead and near the eyebrow.

D.To enable people to know how to avoid developing fine lines on their faces.

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a person based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.

Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.

Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.

Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for men to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.

Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you want to ask them? For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No.2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.

In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum(论坛)for a second time. Tan was by far the youngest participant among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world's sharpest minds. Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence(菲波那契数列)and Bézout numbers has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions. This finding has been praised by the famous Canadian mathematician, Professor Rankin. According to Guangming Daily, Rankin has been studying the same theme for five years but with no conclusions.

From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics. This is largely because of the influence of her father, who teaches mathematics in University. But she had not participated in any Mathematics Olympiad exams before. According to Xu Jun, Tan's head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn't take after-school classes or too many extra exercises either. Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method.

Attending this forum enabled Tan to get more inspiration from top scientists. She asked Professor Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner, what he considered were the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research. Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does. He stressed that people all knew that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. Tan has met many barriers in her research and often feels upset. The words made Tan feel inspired. "I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles(障碍)in my research," she told Chinese Business View.

1.What does the underlined word "fascinated" in the third paragraph mean?

A.threatened B.refused

C.discovered D.attracted

2.What do we know about Tan Fanglin?

A.Tan has realized her dream of meeting top scientists.

B.Tan is one of the youngest participants in the World Laureates Forum.

C.When she was young，she took part in many Mathematics Olympiad exams.

D.Tan's discovery has achieved a breakthrough after studying the theme for 5 years.

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Tan has seldom met obstacles in her research.

B.Tan often feels undefeated when meeting barriers.

C.Inspired by Miesenbock, Tan is determined to overcome difficulties in research.

D.Tan has the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research in Miesenbock's eyes.
