How to Calm Your Teens
A major source of teen stress is school exams,and test anxiety is not uncommon.When you recognise your teen is under stress,how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam
Be involved.Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 1 What they look for is your presence—to talk,to cry,or simply to sit with them quietly.Communicate openly with your teen.Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears,but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organised. 2 Together,you and your teen can work out a timetable in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting.Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy.
Give them a nutritious diet.It’s important for your teen to eat a healthy,balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his best. 3 If this happens,encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.A healthy diet,rather than junk food,is best for reducing stress.
4 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when he needs a real break from studying.Making time for relaxation,fun,and exercise are all important in reducing stress.Help your teen balance his time so that he will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. 5 Your panic,anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure.Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his efforts.Most importantly,reassure your teen that things will be all right,no matter what the results are.
A.Encourage your teen to relax.
B.The best thing is simply to listen.
C.They will only make the situation worse.
D.A parent’s attitude will influence their teen’s emotions.
E.Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.
F.Your teen may also make negative comments about themselves.
G.Help your teen think about what he has to study and plan accordingly.

A
Miles was born in Alton,a city on the Mississippi River in Illinois on May 26,1926.Miles’s father was a dentist,while his mother was a music teacher.Miles had a good childhood,catching fish and riding horses with his older sister and younger brother.He was known as a naughty boy in school.
He recalls his story,“By the age of 12,music had become the most important thing in my life.” His mother,a violinist herself,dearly wanted her son to play the violin.But brass(铜管乐器) was Miles’s calling,and he remembers arguments between their parents as his dad overruled his mom to fight his son’s corner.He received his first trumpet(喇叭) in 1935 and began weekly music lessons with his father’s friend Mr Elwood,his lifelong teacher.
Talking about his schooldays,Miles said that Mr Buchanan was the biggest influence on his life.He was the person who took Miles all the way into music at that time.He wanted to be a musician that he had dreamed.
When he was 16,Miles met his girlfriend,Irene Birth.Although she was a beautiful young woman in many ways,it was her easy-going character that attracted Miles.At the weekends,Miles and Irene would take the bus over the Mississippi River to St Louis to watch movies and go dancing.Although Miles was too shy to really enjoy dancing,he always felt confident when he danced with Irene.
When he turned 17,she persuaded him to ask for a job in his band.It worked.Joining the band was a breakthrough for Miles,and marked the time when he first began to write and arrange music.

Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure.The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s a winner”.And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before.As a result,Stanford University professor Carol Dweck,PhD,calls them “the overpraised generation”.
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years.Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mindsets that have a great effect on how we react to it.Here’s how they work:
A fixed mindset is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic—you’re a born artist,point guard,or numbers person.The fixed mindset believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame.When things get difficult,it’s quick to blame,lie,and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand,a growth mindset believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible.Because the ego(自尊)isn’t on the line as much,the growth mindset sees failure as a chance rather than shame.When faced with a difficulty,it’s quick to rethink,change and try again.In fact,it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mindsets.(Otherwise,we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents,teachers,and instructors often push us into fixed mindsets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise.Dweck’s book,Mindset:The New Psychology of Success,and online instructional programme explain this in depth.But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children,grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.
4.What does the author think about the present generation
A.They don’t do well at school.
B.They are often misunderstood.
C.They are eager to win in sports.
D.They are given too much praise.
5.A fixed mindset person is probably one who .
A.doesn’t want to work hard
B.cares a lot about personal safety
C.cannot share his ideas with others
D.can succeed with the help of teachers
6.What does the growth mindset believe
A.Admitting failure is shameful.
B.Talent comes with one’s birth.
C.Scores should be highly valued.
D.Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
7.What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study
A.Encourage them to learn from failures.
B.Prevent them from making mistakes.
C.Guide them in doing little things.
D.Help them grow with praise.

Distance runners often worry about “hitting the wall” during training or races,when negative thoughts become so overpowering that they make it difficult to continue. 1 At that time,the body’s glycogen (糖原) supplies become exhausted.As a result,many runners feel exhausted and discouraged,slow their pace,have trouble focusing and want to quit or walk. 2 Here are a few sports psychologist-approved techniques to try,which could have major benefits for an athlete’s performance and well-being.
·Make a motivational song list.Distracting yourself with some great tunes can help you make it to the finish line faster. 3
·Try the partner system.A running partner can keep you motivated and on-track,and might even improve your performance,research shows.
· 4 A study on weight-lifters found that mental practices can be as effective as physical practice,resulting in actual muscle increases.Visualising your if-then plan,for instance,could improve your chance of success.
·Try “attention narrowing”. 5 Last year,an NYU study found that focusing on an object on the horizon makes the distance feel shorter,and leads runners to go faster and perform better than those who let their minds wander.
With these helpful strategies,your next personal record might be just around the corner.
A.Plan what to do.
B.Visualise achieving your goal.
C.Finding ways to move past those kinds of experiences is very vital.
D.“Hitting the wall” typically happens around 20 miles in a marathon.
E.Runners who focus their eyes on an object in the distance get there faster.
F.There is evidence that saying motivational things to oneself benefits a lot.
G.Studies show athletes run,bike and swim farther and faster when listening to music.

A
He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.
The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a home-grown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall.But his athletic achievements,as impressive as they are,are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens,Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players.An inner-city kid from a solid family,Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College—still recovering from its failure—back to respectability,rejecting more favourable offers.His status brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle.However,I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.
After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career.The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball.When I met Hall—still fit at 46—for lunch Monday,he wore a cut-sharp gray suit,designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success.“That was always the question—when the cheers end,where do you go Who do you turn to ” he said.“It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”
Hall got the concept of academics—first from his parents.He graduated from Canisius a semester early.“No matter how good an athlete you are,you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said.“But if you take care of things academically,you are prepared until you leave this Earth.”
For the past 14 years,he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro.He married his college sweetheart.They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs.He figured out early what others learn too late:Athletics is part of a journey,not the destination.Congratulations,Ray,you made it.In more ways than one.
1.According to the writer,which of the following best describes Ray’s success
A.Unlike other athletes,he was academically superior.

2.What’s the right order of the events related to Ray

c.He graduated from Canisius College.
d.He started his computer sales job.
e.He gave up his athletic career.
A.a,c,b,e,d B.a,c,e,b,d
C.c,a,b,d,e D.c,a,e,b,d
3.What can we learn from the passage
A.Ray was from an academic family.
B.Ray was very mature in his teens.
C.Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality.
D.Athletics was not Ray’s final goal in life.
4.What was the writer’s intention in writing this passage
A.To describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete.
B.To explain the importance of choosing the right college.
C.To emphasise the need for a good education.
D.To warn against playing professional basketball.

At 39 weeks pregnant most women would only be thinking of racing to hospital.But not Amber Miller,who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day.
As she neared the final stage of the race,she began to feel pain in the stomach.But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes.
Unbelievably the Chicago race was not even baby June’s first marathon—Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year,four months pregnant.She also ran another marathon when she was about four months pregnant with her son,Caleb,19 months.
Although there was extra weight,the seasoned runner’s time was just 3 hours off her personal best.
Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race,but she was not sure if it was labour (分娩),because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant.After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the healthy 7 pounds,13 ounce baby.
Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the race.The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic welcome from crowds as she ran along.But the devoted runner,who had completed eight marathons,admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.
“I know what I can handle.This is something I’ve been doing for a long time,” the experienced marathon runner said.
June was born at 10:29 pm on Sunday night after seven hours’ labour.“She’s absolutely perfect,” Miller said.“We are extremely happy,but very tired.”
After her surprising double achievement,Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a full-time mom.
5.What can we learn from the passage
A.Miller failed to finish the race due to her labour.
B.Miller’s husband was against her running the race.
C.Miller knew she was going to give birth at the end of the race.
D.It wasn’t Miller’s first time to run a marathon while pregnant.
6.What is the name of Miller’s kid born right after the Chicago Marathon
A.Caleb. B.June.
C.Amber. D.Wisconsin.
7.What can be inferred from the passage
A.People have different attitudes to Miller’s action.
B.Miller will soon return for her favourite marathons.
C.The baby was in danger at birth because of the race.
D.Miller’s personal best in marathons was over 6 hours.
8.What is the best title of the passage
A.A Young American Couple Loving Marathons
B.How to Finish the Latest Chicago Marathon
C.How to Train a Pregnant Woman for Marathons
D.A Pregnant Woman Giving Birth After a Marathon

A few hours after my first mission,returning to Earth on the space shuttle Endeavour,I completed all of my medical tests after flight,met with NASA officials,and reunited with my family.Finally,I was alone in my office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Centre,exhausted and ready for bed.And I did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip:I turned on the TV.The television news started up:Such and such had happened,people were shocked,blah blah blah.Sports scores.Silly commercials.
It didn’t take more than a minute before I had to turn it off.It felt like my body was rejecting all this input,just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type.All of this noise was just completely foreign to who I was—or,more appropriately,who I had become.A few hours before,I had been orbiting Earth,seeing our planet from space,flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands,working with a team that was the absolute success of human.And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news,and with my new-found perspective,I just could not stomach it.My world view was changed forever in a profound(深刻的) way.
The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this big-picture perspective.That will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life,the stress about work,or worry about the future,I remember my time in the space station.Back to seeing the sun set.Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon.Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second.Or simply back to floating weightlessly.
When I’m there in my mind and realise how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future,the cares of the world just don’t seem that pressing.It goes that,“Do not worry about tomorrow,for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!
1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “stomach” in Paragraph 2
A.Access. B.Attend.

B.He doesn’t like watching TV any more.

You may not have heard of Ashoka,but for the past 27 years,this association,founded by Bill Drayton,has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness,promoted education and encouraged small businesses.To support these worthy causes,Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising “changemakers” seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.The important thing is to simply give yourself permission.If you see a problem that you care about,you can help solve it.The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy,healthy,contributing adult.In fact,it is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka,which handled the rubbish problem facing the city,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,attracting tats and disease,they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste.So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years.At first,they were refused,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made,the project took off.In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
