When we talk about communication (沟通). we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time Picture this: Your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk... You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Till you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself.
We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something.
Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you' re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative(消极的) thoughts and feelings, and they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of (摆脱) these bad thoughts and feelings.
What's more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others' shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them.
66. How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1
A. He offers some facts. B. He gives an example.
C. He shows numbers. D. He asks and answers a question.
67. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The rules of intrapersonal communication.
B. The problems of intrapersonal communication.
C. The right ways of intrapersonal communication.
D. The good points of intrapersonal communication.
68. What's the structure of the text ( Paragraph 1=①……)
69. What is the purpose of the text
A. To tell us to learn to communicate with ourselves.
B. To advise us to communicate with others more often.
C. To describe the importance of getting on with others.
D. To show us how to get rid of negative thoughts through communication.

What genetics (基因) did your parents pass on to you Was it their eye color or their height It could be their characters or their musical talent. Or maybe it was their anxiety (焦虑) about math.
A US study found that genetics can decide children's math skills and anxiety over math. It studied over 500 sets of twins and found that genetics has something to do with math anxiety. Over 10 years, the twins did math tests and filled out questions about their math anxiety. They found that fraternal twins ( twins with different genetics) had different skills and anxiety over math. Identical twins ( twins with the same gene set) were similar. This shows genes can influence (影响) people's anxiety over math.
Math anxiety has a stronger influence on a child's abilities. It could bring the same feeling as being hurt in the body.
This anxiety means that students will not want to practice math as much as they should. Then, they become even worse at math. It only adds to their anxiety about it.
But if you' re bad at math, don't just look at your parents. Math anxiety is still rare—— genetic reasons explained about 40 percent. The environment, including school and family, is also a reason. So in life, it's important to know how to deal with math anxiety.
70. Which question did the study try to answer
A. What makes twins different
B. Why is math a difficult subject
C. Can genetics decide on children's math anxiety
D. Can parents pass on their character to their children
71. What does the underlined word“ rare” in this text mean in Chinese
A. 有用的 B. 罕见的 C. 公正的 D. 普通的
72. What might the next paragraph of the text talk about
A. Reasons for math anxiety. B. Ways of learning math well.
C. How to communicate with parents. D. How to deal with math anxiety.

How to Keep Healthy
Nowadays, people pay much more attention to health. It is necessary for everyone to learn some ways to keep healthy.
Here are some things that we should do. First, we should do sports every day and keep a balance d diet. As for food, we should eat more fruit and vegetables. Besides, we should have enough sleep. It's good for our health. The most important thing is that we should keep happy every day.
On the other side, we shouldn't do the things that are bad for health. For example, we shouldn't refuse to exercise, and having junk food too much is bad for us. Then we shouldn't play computer games a lot or sit for a long time. What's more, we shouldn't stay up too late, either, because it's the most dangerous for us.
All in all, if we follow these ways, each of us will have a healthy body.
