（22-23高一下·浙江宁波·期末）Soothe the Sunday scaries
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek. But as the weekend comes to an end, many are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing an overwhelming sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week. 1 Some people describe it as a heaviness they can feel in their body, while others feel so unsettled that they could jump out of their skin.
Even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Structure your Sunday. 2 You might still go through that sense of dread, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’ re engaging in something that makes you feel good.
Don’t forget to relax. If you’re feeling more stress, it’s important to make space for relaxing activities to ground yourself. Maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show, whatever feels like a helpful distraction to reground from the scaries.
Identify your anxiety sources. Try to figure out what’s really causing you to dread the week. 3 Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress into small parts can help make it all more manageable.
4 Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead. Have something to look forward to. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to fun and will help improve your mood.
End your Sunday with the right energy. Sunday night is a proper wind-down time. Maybe you want to journal, do a face mask, read a few pages of a good book. Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you. 5

（22-23高一下·河北承德·期末）The value of money is determined by the demand for it, just like the value of goods and services. You can measure the value of money by what people will exchange for it and by how much of it there is. 21
Foreign exchange rate. The first way to measure the value of the dollar is by how much the dollar will buy in foreign currencies. 22 Foreign exchange traders on the foreign exchange market determine exchange rates. They take into account supply and demand, and then they factor in their expectations for the future. For this reason, the value of money changes throughout the trading day.
23 The second method to measure the value of the dollar is the value of Treasury note. They can be converted easily into dollars through the secondary market for the Treasury note. When the demand for the
Treasury note is high, the value of the US dollar rises.
Foreign exchange reserves. 24 That is the amount of dollars held by foreign governments. The more they hold, the lower the supply is. That makes US money more valuable. If foreign governments were to sell all their dollar and Treasury holdings, the dollar would collapse. US money would be worth a lot less.
Why does the dollar change in value No matter how it’s measured, the value of the dollar reduced from 2000 to 2011. That was due to a relatively low federal funds rate, a high federal debt, and a slow-growing economy. Since 2011, the US dollar has risen in value despite these factors. Why Most of the economies in the world had even slower growth. That made foreign exchange traders want to invest in the dollar as a safe haven. 25
A．Treasury note value.
B．Sales of the Treasury note.
C．That’s what the foreign exchange rate measures.
D．Thus, the foreign exchange rate of the dollar rises.
E．The third way is through foreign exchange reserves.
F．The third way is through selling the foreign currencies.
G．There are three ways to measure the value of the dollar.

（22-23高一下·安徽黄山·期末）The days when art was an Olympic sport
Did you know that creating works of art used to be an Olympic competition 31 In the first year, Walter Winans became the first and the only Olympian to win medals for both art and sports. Despite this seemingly optimistic start, the idea of the arts being included in the Olympic Games soon met with disinterest, finally resulting in the removal of the art competition from the Olympic Games.
32
The idea to include art in the Olympics came from Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who was the founder of the International Olympic Committee, which created the modern Olympics. Coubertin believed that the arts and sports were linked and was impressed by anyone who had a firm command of both a sport and an artistic discipline.
Why aren’t the arts included in the Olympics today
For starters, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the arts part of the Olympics. 33 Having artists of average quality competing while only the most competent athletes were allowed to compete created a dramatic divide and gave the impression that the arts were not as important as sports.
Secondly, works of art created had to have sports as the subject matter. 34 Limiting the subjects also
contributed to making the arts part of the Olympic Games boring to the general public.
Finally, one of the biggest reasons was that the arts are subjective. Sports can be judged by time and distance, making it easy to determine who is the winner. 35 This difficulty in judging a definite winner resulted in the arts part becoming a non-competitive exhibition that ran for the duration of the Olympic Games.
A．What is a discipline in the Olympic Games
B．Why was art made an Olympic discipline
C．On the other hand, the arts are not quite so easy to judge.
D．This rule made the objects produced seem really boring.
E．It means that many famous artists were banned from participating.
F．However, the arts part of the Olympics Games was soon abandoned.
G．For 36 years, from 1912 to 1948, artists participated in the Olympic Games.
（22-23高一下·湖南衡阳·期末）I vividly remember the first time a teacher told me how to learn. Not what to learn. One Friday afternoon our history teacher showed us a way to learn lists of key words and ideas-using images and stories. In just a few minutes he proved how easy it was to take charge of the memory process. 36
What a pity I didn’t meet him until I was 15! Even more depressing is that many students are never shown how to learn. 37 So, in case you weren’t one of the lucky ones, here are some important things to know about ow learning really works.
38 It’s no good just being there for a lesson. You have to be involved, use learning skills, and know which ones work best for you. Start with these tips and tricks every month!
Don’t check your memory too soon. There’s not much point in testing yourself straightaway. 39 Instead, wait until it’s a bit more challenging to remember what you’ve watched, read or been told. Recapping (概括) it then will leave a much stronger trace in your brain.
Learners don’t need to be loners. Did you get many chances to learn collaboratively (合作地) If not, what a shame! It plays a big part in remembering well. 40
Above all, don’t be held back by any memory myths you picked up at school. Take steps like these to start remembering more, and be a “class act” in all your learning from here!

（22-23高一下·福建泉州·期末）What is the Best Way to Learn a Language
There is no “best” way to learn a language, because everyone learns slightly differently. 51 Here are some of the most frequent recommendations.
◆Watch foreign language TV and movies.
Not everyone has the opportunity to be exposed to the environment where the native language is spoken or to speak to native speakers. TV and movies offer a good chance to hear native speakers use the language. 52 Watching their movies and TV shows helps you better understand their culture.
◆Get out of your comfort zone.
This is a lesson for life, not just for learning a language! Get out there and do something that scares you. Talk to a foreigner in their language. 53 Write someone a message in their language. Whatever that zone is where you feel safe and relaxed and easy, get out of that zone because you can learn nothing from it. Push yourself and you’ll see that it’s not so bad in this world.
◆ 54
Don’t think of language as a tool, think of it as a musical instrument. When you learn three chords on guitar, you can play hundreds of songs. Words are the same. For example, take the word “real”, and look at its different forms: real, really, realise, realistic, realism, realist, unreal. . .
◆Make mistakes, it’s fine, it’s even great!
Shyness and fear of making mistakes is common. However, nobody cares if you make mistakes. When you speak a foreign language, everyone knows it’s not your mother tongue and they’re already impressed that you’re speaking it at all. 55
A．Avoid making mistakes.
B．TV and movies solve that problem easily.
C．Don’t just memorize words, play with them.
D．Order food from a French restaurant in French.
E．Talk, make mistakes, fall down, get back up, that’s life.
F．Besides, learning a language is a doorway into another culture.
G．However, some methods appear to be more effective than others.

Make it social.
It is easier to work out when you are with a group of people who are doing the same exercise. 56 This may inspire you to keep up with the others. And it may even push yourself a little bit harder. When you plan
to meet a friend for exercise, you make yourself a workout playmate. You are creating responsibility as you will not want to let your friend down. 57
Use the ten-minute rule.
58 Tell yourself that you are going to the gym for a quick ten-minute workout. This could be some push-ups and stretches. Once you are there, you may feel that it is not so hard to do another push-up. Besides, training class is starting in five minutes and you are already at the gym… If you do go home ten minutes later, a few push-ups are always better than no push-ups.
59
As you would never consider skipping out on a business meeting, treat exercise like a board meeting with yourself. This needs writing it down in your datebook and making sure nothing affects you and your important meeting at the gym. Plan ahead. When the day comes, set an alarm to remind you to go to the gym.

（22-23高一下·安徽阜阳·期末）Procrastination is a fancy word that means putting off something you need to d and doing other, less important things first. 61 So why do we do it
Some experts believe the pleasure principle is to blame (负有责任). According to the pleasure principle, reasonable people choose to do more pleasurable things while avoiding those things that are less pleasurable and cause negative (消极的) emotions or stress.
Procrastinating puts off something that is certain to happen until a later time. 62 Experts believe procrastination is a coping mechanism (应对机制) that some people use to avoid the anxiety caused by unpleasant tasks.
While most people procrastinate to some degree, procrastination can become a serious problem for some people. Missed deadlines and poor work as a result of procrastination can negatively impact your grades, your job, or other areas of your life.
So how do you stop procrastinating and start making progress Get started! 63 Create a plan of action that allows you enough time to work on each piece of the task, so that the whole task will be completed on time.
Often an unpleasant task isn’t all that bad...except for that one bad part. If you deal with the worst part first, it’s often much easier to knock out the whole task in a timely manner once the worst part is over. 64
Be mindful of your time and make a plan. Take a look at all you have to do and set priori-ties (优先事项). Do the most important things first and only allow yourself to do the unimportant if there’s time left at the end of the day. 65
A．We all procrastinate from time to time.
B．Exercise self-control and do the hard part first.

（22-23高一下·福建龙岩·期末）Top studying tips
If you frequently find yourself stuck in low efficiency though you spend a lot of time learning, the following strategies might be of great help to you.
Study in cycles
In the 1950s, the famous sleep researcher Nathaniel Kleitman discovered the Sleep Cycle. 76 We actually fall in and out of deep sleep several times every night. If we decide to use an alarm to force ourselves awake before a cycle completes itself, we will wake up feeling extremely tired. What does this have to do with studying Well, it turns out these cycles don't only happen while we are a sleep. We go through periods of increasing and decreasing focus and energy all day. 77 Theoretically (理论上) we should be able to get a better session (时段).This also means it's best to work in 90-minute period because after that our focus starts to decline.
Relax purposefully
Simply put, after every cycle where you decide to focus hard on something, you need to take a break and allow your mind to relax. 78 After you complete a hard set at the gym where you pushed your body to the limit, you need to wait a few minutes to regain your strength. The same thing applies to our mind. We need to spend 10 to 30 minutes of relaxing after a focus cycle, giving our brain a break. 79 .
80
If you feel like you are someone who is unable to focus even during the best 90-minute cycles throughout the day, some expert suggests practicing a simple mindfulness meditation (冥想) technique. Studies have found that
doing this form of meditation for at least 13 minutes per session can sharply improve your ability to focus after just a few months.
A．Improve focus at times.
B．This is similar to working out.
C．Practice meditation per session.
D．If we keep a balance between study session and sleep cycle,
E．It turns out that our bodies go through 90 to 110 minute cycles while we sleep.
F．If we don't, chances are that our next session won't be as productive as we'd like.
G．So if we can time a study session with one of these cycles with our awareness increasing.
（22-23高一下·安徽滁州·期末）More than 70 percent of heart diseases can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 81 A small change in our everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run.
Get eight hours of sleep. When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful. If we’re sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, and glucose (葡萄糖) levels. These factors can all have an impact on heart health.
Engage in volunteer work. 82 A feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. Loneliness is a risk factor for heart health. Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.
83 Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people with some illness. Try to get your outdoor exercise and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
Treat depression. Depression can affect the way we behave. We are more likely to drink too much alcohol and to avoid exercise. 84 They can be associated with poor heart health.
Eat breakfast. Healthy people who skip breakfast are almost three times more likely to have heart disease than those who have morning meals. If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. 85
A．Avoid polluted air.
B．Get more outdoor exercise.
C．But others may not have crossed your mind.
D．Here are five surprising ways to make good choices.

（22-23高一下·湖北武汉·期末）Nothing stays the same for long: things and people change.
I grew up on a small farm, where a flock of sheep wandered around the surrounding mountains. My father was not highly educated, but he was smart. He was a man made of leather and chewing tobacco who rarely tried to talk with my brother or me. He was quiet and distant, I might say. 86

I still remember hiding around the corner and stealing a look at my father lying bitterly on the bed that day.

D．He became better after some special treatment.
