More often than not， we followed him.One day， we left early， and this time， our uncle had bought us backpacks. “You can help me carry thesamples，” he explained.Sure， why not？ The whole day， we walked around the countryside， and every now and then， our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that he also took some stones out from our bags at times， butfiguredhe had just found better samples than the ones we already had.Still， when we reached the house in the late afternoon， we wereexhausted. The backpacks were so heavy we gave a bigsighofreliefwhen we put them on the ground. Yet our uncles backpack was half-empty.“Why did you give us so many stones？” we asked.“I didnt. You did，” he said， waiting for a while before continuing. “You did not know it， but I made you go through a little attitude test today.”“What do you mean an attitude test？” we wanted to know.“It is something someone once did to me and I shall always remember it. You see， I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained about anyone or anything， I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something with an attitude ofgratitude andpositivethinking， I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”We did. They were full.“I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see， yournegative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have， the heavier your mind is. A positive thought， however，cancels outa negative one.

But do you know what a “posh” (优雅的) British accent is？ The difference may be more important than you think.There are many different accents in the UK， some of them very difficult for foreigners to understand. In the south， many people speak with what is known as a “posh” accent， an accent that makes people think of the British Royal Family and upper-class people in the UK. In this accent， “grass” sounds more like “gr-ar-ss”， and “bath” sounds more like “barth”. Often， British people who take jobs on TV or elsewhere have to change their own accents and make them “posher” to be accepted.So， do accents still matter？ Last year Alexander Baratta， PhD， from the UKs University of Manchester spoke about “accentism” people being treated worse because of how they speak and compared it to racism， according to The Guardian. In a study， he asked people why they changed their accents and how it made them feel.Its not hard to see why they do it everyone wants to do well in life， and the best way to do that is to “fit in”. Still， there is a price to pay， Baratta said. Facing the world with a voice that is not your own can hurt “your sense of being”. This was shown when a third of those questioned said they were “ashamed” about changing their accents.What can be done to stop people changing how they sound？ Well， times may be changing， too. The Guardians leader writer Hugh Muir has a suggestion: “The listener must adapt when needed. The speaker must make themselves understood， whatever accent they choose.”So as youre learning English， dont worry too much about how your accent makes you sound as long as its clear what youre saying！12.What is the article mainly about？A. How we should deal with different accents.B. Why we should learn a posh British accent.C. The problem of accentism and ways to deal with it.D. Why some British people like to change their accents.13. According to the article， a posh accent reminds people of _ in the UK.A. working-class people B. upper-class peopleC. poorly-educated people D. fashionable young people14. We can see from the article that changing their accents _.A. made most of the people asked feel poshB. meant that some of the people asked were treated worseC. made some of the people asked feel bad about themselvesD. made most of the people asked feel unsure of themselves 15. What are people advised to do with their accents？A. To make themselves clear in the accent they choose.B. To warn listeners to accept different accents.C. To make no changes to their accent at all.D. To adapt their accent to their listeners.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。 A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not uncommon.
