Students who get tired of looking at the four walls of a classroom might like to take the nature course being offered by Carvel College again this summer. Groups of about a dozen students each, led by an experienced guide, will go on ten-day camping trips to the mountains to study the plants and animals that grow and live there.
Students carry their own things, which includes sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water, and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day Well, as soon as the sun comes up, they eat breakfast and start climbing up the mountain trail to the next campground, which is five to ten miles away. As the students take notes, the guide points out different plants and animals alongside the trail. The climb is usually over by early afternoon, so the group spends the rest of the day resting or swimming in a mountain lake. Before dinner each night, they all come together and discuss the day's activities.
At the end of the course, the students write reports using the information they have collected. But they don't mind at all. What they do mind is leaving the beauty of the wilderness and the good friends they've made to return to their normal lives in the city.

A.Better grades in tests.
B.Free vacations in mountains.
C.A different learning experience.

Which subject do you worry about most at school Many students worry about maths. Some students can't sleep well the day before a maths exam. Others may feel very nervous about the exam itself. But there might be a way to make you less nervous.
"For students who feel like a deer in the headlights before taking a maths test, a simple change in posture(姿势) could make a big difference," said Erik Peper, a professor. "The slumped-over position shuts them down and their brains do not work as well. They cannot think clearly. While sitting up straight can help them do better in maths exams."
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple maths test while sitting in a slumped-over position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56% of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
According to Richard Harvey, an associate professor, slumping over is a defensive posture. Itc an bring bad memories in the body and brain. This stops you from thinking clearly.
Students who were not nervous about taking the maths exam did not necessarily get help from better posture. But they did find that doing maths while slumping over was more difficult.
Peper and Harvey say these findings about body posture can help people prepare for many different types of performance under stress(压力), not just maths tests. So when you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.
31.What posture can make people feel less nervous during maths exams
A.Resting feet on the floor. B.Sitting up straight.
C.Slumping on the desk. D.Putting up one hand.
32.What's the meaning of "feel like a deer in the headlights" in Paragraph 2
A.run like a deer B.feel worried
C.get very excited D.read in the light
33.What can we learn from the passage
A.Sitting up straight can bring good memories.
B.Slumping over can help people think clearly.
C.Nervous athletes may get help from better posture.
D.Many people feel nervous during the maths exams.
34.What's the best title for the passage
A.Slump Over to Take Exams B.Better Posture for Kids
C.Sit Up to Do Maths D.Helpful Advice for Exams
35.Where is the text probably from
A.A guidebook. B.A magazine.
C.A novel. D.A dictionary.
