While having stress in your life is normal and often unavoidable, being stressed is something you can control. The following tips will help you to control your stress and help you to relax. First, get some sleep. Many college students do not sleep enough. But getting more sleep can help your mind focus. This can mean a quick nap, a night when you go to bed early, or a promise to yourself to stick with a regular sleep schedule. Sometimes, one good nights sleep can be all you need to deal with stress. Second, eat well. Your eating habits may have been disrupted when you started school. But think about what and when youve eaten over the past few days. Stress is also related to physical health. So eat something balanced and healthy, such as fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Third, do more exercises. Exercise doesnt necessarily have to involve a 2-hour, exhausting workout at the campus gym. It can mean a relaxing, 30-minute walk while listening to your favorite music. In fact, in a little over an hour, you can walk 15 minutes to your favorite off-campus restaurant, eat a quick and healthy meal, walk back, and take a good nap. Imagine how much better youll feel! Fourth and last, get some quiet time. Take one moment and think: when was the last time you had some quality, quiet time alone? You may share your room, your bathroom, your classrooms, your dining hall, the gym, the bookstore, the library, and anywhere else you go during an average day. Finding a few moments of peace and quiet ?with no cell phone, roommates, or crowds ?might be just what you need. Stepping out from the crazy college environment for a few minutes can do wonders for reducing your stress.6. _ is normal and often unavoidable in your life.A) Having stressB) Being stressedC) Going to schoolD) Feeling unsuccessful Script: _ is normal and often unavoidable in your life.正确答案：A学生答案：A 得分：2分 7.

But real education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not forcing something into a person, but rather producing knowledge from him, it is the drawing out of what is in the mind. So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are useless, because they are concerned with what should go into the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. A college student once said to me after a lecture, I spend so much time studying that I dont have a chance to learn anything. I think he was expressing his dissatisfaction with the container-filling view of education. He was being so stuffed with various facts and materials that he had no time to think independently, to draw on his own resources, and to use his own mind. So real education must produce from the pupil what is latent in every human being, for example, the rules of reason, the knowledge of what is proper for men to be and to do, the ability to come to conclusions. After all, pupils are not containers. They are more like oysters. The job of teaching is not to stuff them and then seal them up, but to help them open and reveal the riches within. There are pearls in each of us, if only we knew how to cultivate them.11.

Why didnt the student have any time to think independently?A) Because he didnt have enough motivation.B) Because he was stuffed with various facts.C) Because he was under a lot of pressure.D) Because his teacher couldnt teach him anything.
