When I was in Grade Eight, one thing made me upset. I could 11 get a good score in my physics tests. My scores were always just about 70.
One day, I talked to my mom about that. 12 asked me to think about the reason. I thought about it seriously. And then I realized 13 .
“Mom, the problem is really simple. I’ve got it. So I work it out quickly.”

“You’re right, Mom. I will try to be quick and careful, too.”
“Any knowledge cannot be mastered (掌握) at once. It should 17 again and again until you use it easily. So you’d better have more practice.”
“I will keep your words 18 mind, Mom.”
After that, I changed my learning habits. I studied as 19 as I could. When I did physics exercises, I would read each sentence with great patience to find key words. Then I connected them with what I learned so that I could do the exercises right.

二、阅读单选
passage 1
Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured（判定）the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral（道德的）education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some forms of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality is a sense of responsibility（责任）which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation（自我激励）is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.

passage 2
The teen years are an exciting time for girls, but these years can also be filled with worries and struggles. Parents really care for them, even if they don’t always act like it. They need your love, guidance, and support each day to help them become healthy and happy.
With the busy lives we lead today, how can you do this
Spend time with your daughter. Set a good example to your daughter. Eat right, exercise, deal with stress in healthy ways, and don’t use drugs (毒品), alcohol (酒), or cigarettes.
Try to find a good balance between work and fun in your own life. This will show your daughter that she can have balance in her life.
Teach her good values and a sense of responsibility (责任). Then trust her to make good choices.
Set rules with them. Setting fair rules can help girls keep away from social settings where they can’t solve.
It’s normal for a girl to want to try new things. When your daughter is angry with you, she may make poor choices. Turn her mistakes into lessons, show her you still love her, and point out the good thing she does. Teach her not to be ashamed of having a problem with stress, grades, weight, drugs, or alcohol.

For most of us, stress is a fact of life. But there are many useful ways to lower stress. Let’s take a look.
Sometimes it can be difficult to say exactly what we’re feeling. When we feel uneasy or disappointed, we can put problems into words. Keeping a diary is a good way to relax.
If we get angry, music has a wonderful influence on our feelings. When we feel sad, it fills our hearts with warmth.
When we get nervous or upset before a test, take a few deep breaths.
Enough sleep helps us keep clear minds. Without plenty of rest, it is hard to pay attention to our study or work.

passage 4
Has a person ever warmly held a door open for you How do you feel after playing with friends And what would you say is your favourite family memory These questions have one thing in common: they’re all about connecting with people. “Let’s Connect” is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental (心理的) Health Week. It improves mental health by building healthy social connections.
Humans naturally connect with others, whether that’s family, friends or people in our community. Healthy connections give people energy and support we all need people to celebrate and share our worries with. Social connections aren’t just about mental health; they improve physical health too, helping us to live a long life. Research suggests being lonely can slowly harm your health. Humans’ need for connection is different from person to person, but what’s important is not how many relationships you have, but how good your relationships are.
Then how to connect with others “You can reach out and connect with people in so many different ways,” says Julia Clements of Place2Be, the organizer behind Children’s Mental Health Week. You can connect in person or online, with your friends, parents, teachers or classmates. It’s not just people, either. “Some people feel connected with their pets or in nature,” says Clements. She advises making time to build more connections through actions as well as words. Being kind, listening to others and trying new experiences are all good tools.
Everybody may feel lonely sometimes and refuse to talk to others. Keep in mind that connections change—some become stronger, while others stop. “Remember that there are always people that care for you,” advises Clements. She says it’s important to tell someone you trust about how you are feeling, or safe organizations such as Childline or Shout. They can help, whether you’re looking to form new connections or repair a strained (紧张) relationship that is important to you.
43．The writer uses three questions in the beginning to ________.
A．express worries about humans B．lead into the topic “social connections”
C．introduce health problems D．interest readers in family memory
44．Paragraph 2 is mainly about the ________ of connecting with others.
A．ways B．popularity C．importance D．rules
45．Clements may agree that ________.
A．it is better to connect with pets than people
B．using words is the best way to build connections
C．people should only communicate with others face to face
D．talking to others can be helpful to a lonely person
46．The passage is most probably written for ________.
A．teachers B．parents C．children D．doctors
三、阅读填表
passage 1
根据短文内容，完成下列表格。每空词数不限。
No matter how carefully we check a composition (作文), it seems there’s always one more little mistake waiting to be discovered. The following tips may help you find your mistakes before anybody else does.
First of all, give it a rest. If time permits (允许), set your composition aside for a few hours after you’ve finished it, and then read it carefully to correct mistakes with fresh eyes.
Secondly, look for one type of problem at a time. Read through your composition several times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation (标点). As the saying goes, if you look for trouble, you’re likely to find it.
If you don’t believe in yourself, you can ask a friend for help. Read your composition to him aloud. You can also ask him to read it aloud. You may hear a problem that you haven’t been able to see. Your friend can also help you find some mistakes.
Then, try to read your composition backward (倒着). Another way to catch spelling mistakes is to read backward, from right to left, starting with the last word in your composition.
Another method some writers usually use is to keep a list of the types of mistakes they commonly make, and then use the list each time they correct their works.
Tips for checking a composition
Giving it a rest When finishing your composition, you’d better not try to correct mistakes 47 . Reading it carefully after several hours will be more useful.
Looking for one type of problem at a time It’s a great idea to read your composition 48 by paying attention to sentence structures first, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation.
Asking a friend for help You can find some mistakes by 49 your composition to your friend or listening to your friend read it.
Reading the composition backward Reading backward can help you find 50 mistakes.
Keeping a list of the types of mistakes It’s helpful to keep a list of common mistakes, and then use 51 when you correct your works.
passage 2
In the opinion of many people, the two-parent family is the correct way to bring up children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but single-parent (单亲) families have had to face prejudices (偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the single parent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States,a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a single-parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single-parent families.
Compared to two parent families, single-parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What’ s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure of both work and home. Although there are such disadvantages,it is possible for single-parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.
Surprisingly, single-parent families also have some advantages over two parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility (灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don’t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.
It’s important to remember that single-parent families have, until now received prejudices from some people. They think that it’s easier for the children in single-parent families to drop out of school in teens,and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, single parent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.

四、阅读回答问题
passage 1
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold,” is another. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds,” is a third. What do they have in common They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value. This is what the body positivity movement is all about. Its message is that we should value ourselves for who we are warts and all—accept our flaws and stop judging ourselves against our imperfections.
But it’s easier said than done. Despite this rise in positivity, many people still feel insecure about themselves and their appearance because it may not measure up to the objectified stereotype. So what can a person do to improve their own body positivity
Not comparing your body to others’, particularly celebrities’, is a good first step. “We’re surrounded by these idealised images of what it is to be beautiful,” says Becky Young, founder of the Anti Diet Riot Club—a club helping people rethink their relationship with their bodies and food. She points out that comparing only creates a standard we think we need to aspire to and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren’t up to scratch.
“Learn to take a compliment,” recommends Thriveworks, a counselling and coaching website which promotes positive mental health. When someone says something nice, embrace it—don’t push it away or play it down. And compliment others too. If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them. It can lift them up.
Appreciate your body for what it can do—walking, yoga, playing sport or otherwise. “You can be an incredible human regardless of your shape or size,” says Esther Field, a body-positive social media campaigner interviewed by the BBC． “After knee surgery, I attended the gym and realized how strong and capable my body was, even though it was fat.”
And finally, don’t forget that low self-esteem and body confidence issues affect everyone. “There aren’t a lot of guys that are pushing this idea of body positivity,” David Fadd, a plus-size male model of two years told the BBC． The social media influencer wants to remind us that body image and confidence affect men too.
Ultimately, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight, but don’t give up. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. And as David Fadd says “Be unapologetic about who you are and what you want as a person. Love what you look like.”
57．What do the three popular sayings at the beginning of the article aim to teach us
58．What is the problem with comparing ourselves to others, according to Becky Young
59．In what way can we improve other people’s body positivity and confidence
60．Which event prompted Esther Field to realize how strong and capable she was
61．What does David Fadd say you should not apologize for
passage 2
Exams play an important role in education and sometimes it is also the source of stress for many students. So it is important for students to learn how to deal with stress caused by the exam. Here are some useful ways.
Before the exam
Study in conditions similar to your test room.
There is a phenomenon in psychology(心理学现象) called context-dependent memory. It refers to the idea that we are best able to remember things in environments similar to when the information was encoded(解码). If you are in a quiet room during your exam, try to simulate(模拟) those conditions while you are preparing for it.
Manage your time wisely.
Do not just cram(临时死记硬背) for an exam at the last minute, because this will surely lead to exam stress. Break up your study time into chunks over days, or weeks even. If possible, try to study at around the same time of day as you will be taking the test, because in this way you will be similarly tired or awake when you study and when you take your test. You will get used to how you feel when dealing with your course material on your test day.
Take frequent breaks.
According to psychology studies, the average human brain can only focus on one task effectively for about 45 minutes. In addition, research in neuroscience(神经科学) suggests that focusing on the same thing for too long weakens the brain’s ability to accurately process it.
During the exam
Eat a proper exam day breakfast.
Without a proper breakfast your energy levels will quickly crash and may lead to stress and anxiety. Be sure to have a healthy, energy-packed breakfast on exam day. Try eating foods that provide long lasting energy, such as eggs or oats. Avoid foods that are high in sugar, which will give temporary energy but may cause you sleepy during the exam.
Read instructions carefully.
Before answering any exam questions, figure out exactly what is expected of you. Skim the test to see its content and give yourself a rough(粗略的) idea of how long each question will take to complete. Ambiguity(不明确) can cause stress, so, by knowing how long the test is, you will reduce your stress.
Avoid rushing.
Take your time going through the exam. If you get stuck in a question for a long time, instead of getting stressed about it, keep in mind that it is just one question on the exam. If possible, skip(跳过) that question and return to it at the end if you have time. Keep an eye on the clock and give yourself five to ten minutes to go over your answers to check for any mistakes or to guess on any questions that you initially skipped.
62．Why does the writer advise us to study at around the same time of day as we will be taking the test
63．How long can human brain focus on one task effectively
64．What kind of food should you have for breakfast on the exam day from the passage
65．What should you do if you get stuck in a question for a long time from the passage
66．What does the passage mainly talk about

When I was in Grade Eight, one thing made me upset. I could 11 get a good score in my physics tests. My scores were always just about 70.
One day, I talked to my mom about that. 12 asked me to think about the reason. I thought about it seriously. And then I realized 13 .
“Mom, the problem is really simple. I’ve got it. So I work it out quickly.”
“Oh ” Mom stopped her housework and 14 carefully and patiently.
“Yes. They’re so easy that I get careless. Sometimes I take my 15 carelessly in class. And when I review them, I can’t understand them.”
“I see.” Mom said. “No one is born with good learning habits. 16 you are clever and outgoing, you are not careful enough.”
“You’re right, Mom. I will try to be quick and careful, too.”
“Any knowledge cannot be mastered (掌握) at once. It should 17 again and again until you use it easily. So you’d better have more practice.”
“I will keep your words 18 mind, Mom.”
After that, I changed my learning habits. I studied as 19 as I could. When I did physics exercises, I would read each sentence with great patience to find key words. Then I connected them with what I learned so that I could do the exercises right.
A few weeks later, I did finally get 20 perfect score in physics!

passage 1
Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured（判定）the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral（道德的）education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some forms of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality is a sense of responsibility（责任）which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation（自我激励）is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.

passage 4
Has a person ever warmly held a door open for you How do you feel after playing with friends And what would you say is your favourite family memory These questions have one thing in common: they’re all about connecting with people. “Let’s Connect” is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental (心理的) Health Week. It improves mental health by building healthy social connections.
Humans naturally connect with others, whether that’s family, friends or people in our community. Healthy connections give people energy and support we all need people to celebrate and share our worries with. Social connections aren’t just about mental health; they improve physical health too, helping us to live a long life. Research suggests being lonely can slowly harm your health. Humans’ need for connection is different from person to person, but what’s important is not how many relationships you have, but how good your relationships are.
Then how to connect with others “You can reach out and connect with people in so many different ways,” says Julia Clements of Place2Be, the organizer behind Children’s Mental Health Week. You can connect in person or online, with your friends, parents, teachers or classmates. It’s not just people, either. “Some people feel connected with their pets or in nature,” says Clements. She advises making time to build more connections through actions as well as words. Being kind, listening to others and trying new experiences are all good tools.
Everybody may feel lonely sometimes and refuse to talk to others. Keep in mind that connections change—some become stronger, while others stop. “Remember that there are always people that care for you,” advises Clements. She says it’s important to tell someone you trust about how you are feeling, or safe organizations such as Childline or Shout. They can help, whether you’re looking to form new connections or repair a strained (紧张) relationship that is important to you.
43．The writer uses three questions in the beginning to ________.
A．express worries about humans B．lead into the topic “social connections”
C．introduce health problems D．interest readers in family memory
44．Paragraph 2 is mainly about the ________ of connecting with others.
A．ways B．popularity C．importance D．rules
45．Clements may agree that ________.
A．it is better to connect with pets than people
B．using words is the best way to build connections
C．people should only communicate with others face to face
D．talking to others can be helpful to a lonely person
46．The passage is most probably written for ________.
A．teachers B．parents C．children D．doctors
【答案】43．B 44．C 45．D 46．C
【详解】本文是一篇说明文，介绍健康的社会关系来改善心理健康。
43．推理判断题。根据“Has a person ever warmly held a door open for you How do you feel after playing with friends And what would you say is your favourite family memory These questions have one thing in common: they’re all about connecting with people.”可知，作者用问题得出共同点：它们都是关于与人交往的；结合“It improves mental health by building healthy social connections.”可知，是为了引出“社会关系”这一话题，故选B。
44．段落大意题。分析“Healthy connections give people energy and support we all need people to celebrate and share our worries with. Social connections aren’t just about mental health; they improve physical health too, helping us to live along life. Research suggests being lonely can slowly harm your health.”可知，介绍了健康的人际关系和社会关系的好处，以及孤独的坏处。所以本段主要介绍的是与他人联系的重要性，故选C。
45．推理判断题。根据“She advises making time to build more connections through actions as well as words.”和“Everybody may feel lonely sometimes and refuse to talk to others. Keep in mind that connections change-some become stronger, while others stop.”可知，她建议花时间通过行动和语言来建立更多的联系，每个人都有孤独的时候，会拒绝和别人说话，但是与人联系会产生改变。由此可知，克莱门茨可能会同意与他人交谈对孤独的人有帮助这一看法。故选D。
46．推理判断题。根据“You can connect in person or online, with your friends, parents, teachers or classmates.”可知，你可以亲自或在线与你的朋友、父母、老师或同学联系。由此推知，本文是写给孩子们的，故选C。
三、阅读填表
passage 1
根据短文内容，完成下列表格。每空词数不限。
No matter how carefully we check a composition (作文), it seems there’s always one more little mistake waiting to be discovered. The following tips may help you find your mistakes before anybody else does.
First of all, give it a rest. If time permits (允许), set your composition aside for a few hours after you’ve finished it, and then read it carefully to correct mistakes with fresh eyes.
Secondly, look for one type of problem at a time. Read through your composition several times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation (标点). As the saying goes, if you look for trouble, you’re likely to find it.
If you don’t believe in yourself, you can ask a friend for help. Read your composition to him aloud. You can also ask him to read it aloud. You may hear a problem that you haven’t been able to see. Your friend can also help you find some mistakes.
Then, try to read your composition backward (倒着). Another way to catch spelling mistakes is to read backward, from right to left, starting with the last word in your composition.
Another method some writers usually use is to keep a list of the types of mistakes they commonly make, and then use the list each time they correct their works.
Tips for checking a composition
Giving it a rest When finishing your composition, you’d better not try to correct mistakes 47 . Reading it carefully after several hours will be more useful.
Looking for one type of problem at a time It’s a great idea to read your composition 48 by paying attention to sentence structures first, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation.
Asking a friend for help You can find some mistakes by 49 your composition to your friend or listening to your friend read it.
Reading the composition backward Reading backward can help you find 50 mistakes.

【答案】47．at once/immediately 48．several times 49．reading aloud/reading 50．spelling 51．the list/it
【详解】本文介绍了几种如何在别人发现作文错误之前发现自己的错误的方法。
47．根据“First of all, give it a rest. If time permits, set your composition aside for a few hours after you’ve finished it, and then read it carefully to correct mistakes with fresh eyes.”（首先，让它休息一下。如果时间允许，写完作文后把它放在一边几个小时，然后仔细阅读，用新的眼光改正错误）可知，作文写完后最好不要马上改正错误，at once/immediately“立刻，马上”，故填at once/immediately。
48．根据“Read through your composition several times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation.”（将你的作文通读几遍，首先关注句子结构，然后是词语选择，然后是拼写，最后是标点符号）可知，作文要通读几遍，故填several times。
49．根据“…you can ask a friend for help. Read your composition to him aloud. You can also ask him to read it aloud.”（你可以向朋友寻求帮助。给他大声读你的作文。你也可以让他大声朗读）可知，是通过大声读给朋友听来发现错误，by后用动名词，故填reading aloud/reading。
50．根据“Another way to catch spelling mistakes is to read backward”（另一种检查拼写错误的方法是倒着读）可知，倒着读可以发现拼写错误，故填spelling。
51．根据“Another method some writers usually use is to keep a list of the types of mistakes they commonly make, and then use the list each time they correct their works.”（有些作家经常使用的另一种方法是列出他们经常犯的错误类型，然后每次他们改正自己的作品时都用这个清单）可知，将错误列成一个清单，然后在修改作文时使用它是很有帮助的。故填the list/it。
passage 2
In the opinion of many people, the two-parent family is the correct way to bring up children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but single-parent (单亲) families have had to face prejudices (偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the single parent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States,a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a single-parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single-parent families.
Compared to two parent families, single-parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What’ s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure of both work and home. Although there are such disadvantages,it is possible for single-parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.
Surprisingly, single-parent families also have some advantages over two parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility (灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don’t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.
It’s important to remember that single-parent families have, until now received prejudices from some people. They think that it’s easier for the children in single-parent families to drop out of school in teens,and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, single parent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.

【答案】52．schooling 53．growing 54．advice/suggestions 55．no time 56．stressful
【详解】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要向我们介绍了人们对单亲家庭的偏见，单亲家庭的弊端。但是在朋友、学校和社区的支持下，单亲家庭会越来越被社会所接受，这种情况肯定会改善。
52．根据“They think that it’s easier for the children in single-parent families to drop out of school in teens.”可知他们认为单亲家庭的孩子更容易在十几岁时辍学。stop doing sth.“停止做某事”，故填schooling。
53．根据“However,the single parent family is the fastest growing type of family”可知单亲家庭是增长最快的家庭类型即单亲家庭的数量在迅速增加，根据语境和“is”应用现在进行时，其谓语结构为“be+动词的现在分词”，故填growing。
54．根据空处所在句子下箭头所指内容可知此处应是作者的建议，所以应填advice“建议”不可数名词，或suggestion“建议”，可数名词，而作者提出了两方面建议，故填advice/suggestions。
55．根据“Single parents have greater flexibility in spending time with children, because they don’t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children.”可知单亲父母在花时间陪伴孩子方面有更大的灵活性，因为他们不必考虑丈夫或妻子的需要。这样他们就可以和孩子建立更紧密的关系。spend time doing sth.花时间做某事，表示否定意义在名词前加no，故填no time。
56．根据“single parents can find themselves under too much pressure of both work and home.”单亲父母可能会发现自己在工作和家庭两方面都承受着太大的压力，而系动词后跟形容词，故填stressful。
四、阅读回答问题
passage 1
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold,” is another. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds,” is a third. What do they have in common They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value. This is what the body positivity movement is all about. Its message is that we should value ourselves for who we are warts and all—accept our flaws and stop judging ourselves against our imperfections.
But it’s easier said than done. Despite this rise in positivity, many people still feel insecure about themselves and their appearance because it may not measure up to the objectified stereotype. So what can a person do to improve their own body positivity
Not comparing your body to others’, particularly celebrities’, is a good first step. “We’re surrounded by these idealised images of what it is to be beautiful,” says Becky Young, founder of the Anti Diet Riot Club—a club helping people rethink their relationship with their bodies and food. She points out that comparing only creates a standard we think we need to aspire to and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren’t up to scratch.
“Learn to take a compliment,” recommends Thriveworks, a counselling and coaching website which promotes positive mental health. When someone says something nice, embrace it—don’t push it away or play it down. And compliment others too. If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them. It can lift them up.
Appreciate your body for what it can do—walking, yoga, playing sport or otherwise. “You can be an incredible human regardless of your shape or size,” says Esther Field, a body-positive social media campaigner interviewed by the BBC． “After knee surgery, I attended the gym and realized how strong and capable my body was, even though it was fat.”
And finally, don’t forget that low self-esteem and body confidence issues affect everyone. “There aren’t a lot of guys that are pushing this idea of body positivity,” David Fadd, a plus-size male model of two years told the BBC． The social media influencer wants to remind us that body image and confidence affect men too.
Ultimately, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight, but don’t give up. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. And as David Fadd says “Be unapologetic about who you are and what you want as a person. Love what you look like.”

passage 2
Exams play an important role in education and sometimes it is also the source of stress for many students. So it is important for students to learn how to deal with stress caused by the exam. Here are some useful ways.
Before the exam
Study in conditions similar to your test room.
There is a phenomenon in psychology(心理学现象) called context-dependent memory. It refers to the idea that we are best able to remember things in environments similar to when the information was encoded(解码). If you are in a quiet room during your exam, try to simulate(模拟) those conditions while you are preparing for it.
Manage your time wisely.
Do not just cram(临时死记硬背) for an exam at the last minute, because this will surely lead to exam stress. Break up your study time into chunks over days, or weeks even. If possible, try to study at around the same time of day as you will be taking the test, because in this way you will be similarly tired or awake when you study and when you take your test. You will get used to how you feel when dealing with your course material on your test day.
Take frequent breaks.
According to psychology studies, the average human brain can only focus on one task effectively for about 45 minutes. In addition, research in neuroscience(神经科学) suggests that focusing on the same thing for too long weakens the brain’s ability to accurately process it.
During the exam
Eat a proper exam day breakfast.
Without a proper breakfast your energy levels will quickly crash and may lead to stress and anxiety. Be sure to have a healthy, energy-packed breakfast on exam day. Try eating foods that provide long lasting energy, such as eggs or oats. Avoid foods that are high in sugar, which will give temporary energy but may cause you sleepy during the exam.
Read instructions carefully.
Before answering any exam questions, figure out exactly what is expected of you. Skim the test to see its content and give yourself a rough(粗略的) idea of how long each question will take to complete. Ambiguity(不明确) can cause stress, so, by knowing how long the test is, you will reduce your stress.
Avoid rushing.
Take your time going through the exam. If you get stuck in a question for a long time, instead of getting stressed about it, keep in mind that it is just one question on the exam. If possible, skip(跳过) that question and return to it at the end if you have time. Keep an eye on the clock and give yourself five to ten minutes to go over your answers to check for any mistakes or to guess on any questions that you initially skipped.
62．Why does the writer advise us to study at around the same time of day as we will be taking the test
63．How long can human brain focus on one task effectively
64．What kind of food should you have for breakfast on the exam day from the passage
65．What should you do if you get stuck in a question for a long time from the passage
66．What does the passage mainly talk about
【答案】62．Because in this way you will be similarly tired or awake when you study and when you take your test. You will get used to how you feel when dealing with your course material on your test day. 63．For about 45 minutes. 64．Foods that provide long lasting energy, such as eggs or oats. 65．Instead of getting stressed about it, keep in mind that it is just one question on the exam. 66．Some useful ways to deal with stress caused by the exam.
【详解】本文就如何应对考试带来的压力提出了一些方法。
62．根据“try to study at around the same time of day as you will be taking the test, because in this way you will be similarly tired or awake when you study and when you take your test. You will get used to how you feel when dealing with your course material on your test day.”可知，因为这样一来，当你学习和考试的时候，你同样会感到疲劳或清醒。你会习惯在考试当天处理课程材料时的感觉，故填Because in this way you will be similarly tired or awake when you study and when you take your test. You will get used to how you feel when dealing with your course material on your test day.
63．根据“According to psychology studies, the average human brain can only focus on one task effectively for about 45 minutes.”可知，人类大脑平均只能有效地专注于一项任务约45分钟，故填For about 45 minutes.
64．根据“Be sure to have a healthy, energy-packed breakfast on exam day. Try eating foods that provide long lasting energy, such as eggs or oats.”可知，要吃能提供持久能量的食物，如鸡蛋或燕麦，故填Foods that provide long lasting energy, such as eggs or oats.
65．根据“If you get stuck in a question for a long time, instead of getting stressed about it, keep in mind that it is just one question on the exam.”可知，如果你在一个问题上卡了很长时间，不要为此感到压力，要记住这只是考试中的一个问题，可以先跳过，故填Instead of getting stressed about it, keep in mind that it is just one question on the exam.
66．根据“Exams play an important role in education and sometimes it is also the source of stress for many students. So it is important for students to learn how to deal with stress caused by the exam. Here are some useful ways.”以及整个文章的理解可知，本文主要是介绍如何应对考试带来的压力的一些方法，故填Some useful ways to deal with stress caused by the exam.
