假设你的好朋友Lily在期末考试来临时感到学习压力很大，请你根据听力材料中提到的减轻压力的方法，给她提一下建议。
听力素养“漫养成”
如何预测听力内容
听力考试中，在未知听力内容的情况下，可以在播放录音前根据问题和选项进行预测。在听录音前先根据题干和选项预测文章的大概内容、可能出现的词汇、答案等，对提高听录音质量，快速、准确地选出正确答案是十分有益的。下面介绍三种预测的方法。
1．根据交际语言的特点进行预测
会话是交际语言，离不开一定的语言环境和在某种环境中必然要交流的信息。例如：在医院，医生与病人之间一般谈论健康、治病等问题。我们知道了对话的环境，就能预知要交流的信息；反之，如果知道了交流的信息，也就可以推断对话者之间的关系或对话的环境。这种方法适用于询问对话发生的地点、谈话人的职业身份、谈话者之间的关系之类的试题。
2．根据选项的异同进行预测
对于句子较长、成分较多的选项，我们可以用区分、比较选项的共同点和不同点的方法来寻找与听力原文相联系的潜在信息。高考中选项较长时，一般是竖向排列，因此，我们可以用竖向分离的方法将它们的共同点和不同点区分开来。
[典例]
What did Gallo receive yesterday
A．A call | from | her sister.
B．A bottle | from | her aunt.
C．A letter | from | a stranger.
[分析] 我们可以用两条竖线将上面例题选项中相同结构的词分开，从而更加清楚地看出，介词from是相同的，前后的两个名词不同，而不同的部分正是听录音时要弄清的重点问题。在听录音时就要将注意力都集中在receive后面的宾语部分。
3．根据前后几个问题的题干进行预测
听长对话或者独白时，一般有2～4个问题，听前可以充分利用问题中的相关信息大胆猜测答案，然后再有针对性地听，做到及时更正。
[典例] (2024·浙江1月高考)
听第6段材料，回答第6、7题。
6．What does the man want to do before noon
A．Post a letter. B．Make a card.
C．Write an email.
7．Whose birthday is it
A．Richard's. B．Sarah's.

[语篇综合训练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
This time last year I had a bit of a crisis. I left the company where I'd worked for over 23 years; my child went to university.
I went for a walk with a friend. “How are you？” she said. I tried to say I was “fine”， but the word stuck in my throat. I started to cry and couldn't stop.“Change is difficult，” she said. That hit me in the heart. It allowed me to find things tough, to not be coping, to admit to myself I was in trouble.
I went home and sat down at my computer, searching for a site that might give me comfort.There was nothing. I shouldn't have been surprised. During my years as an editor of The Sunday Times Magazine, I'd had trouble getting stories about women in midlife, or older, into the magazine.
Women are described about their lives: get educated, get a job or career, find a partner and somewhere to live, have some kids ...and that's where the script stops.The later parts of women's lives are unmapped, undiscussed.
So I've set up an online platform and community for women in midlife. It's called Noon and it exists to help women find their next act. We tell stories of transformation — the woman who became a stand-up comedian at 60 and a civil servant who changed career to become a doctor at 50. We offer expert advice to get women through the tough times.
Why shouldn't younger women look forward to their “Noontime”， a period of wisdom and purpose When having jumped through the hoops society sets out for us, we can finally pursue our own dreams. There is so much more to come.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
This time last year I had a bit of a crisis. I left the company where I'd worked for over 23 years; my child went to university.
I went for a walk with a friend. “How are you？” she said. I tried to say I was “fine”， but the word stuck in my throat. I started to cry and couldn't stop.“Change is difficult，” she said. That hit me in the heart. It allowed me to find things tough, to not be coping, to admit to myself I was in trouble.
I went home and sat down at my computer, searching for a site that might give me comfort.There was nothing. I shouldn't have been surprised. During my years as an editor of The Sunday Times Magazine, I'd had trouble getting stories about women in midlife, or older, into the magazine.
Women are described about their lives: get educated, get a job or career, find a partner and somewhere to live, have some kids ...and that's where the script stops.The later parts of women's lives are unmapped, undiscussed.
So I've set up an online platform and community for women in midlife. It's called Noon and it exists to help women find their next act. We tell stories of transformation — the woman who became a stand up comedian at 60 and a civil servant who changed career to become a doctor at 50. We offer expert advice to get women through the tough times.
Why shouldn't younger women look forward to their “Noontime”， a period of wisdom and purpose When having jumped through the hoops society sets out for us, we can finally pursue our own dreams. There is so much more to come.
