According to a recent survey conducted by Wuhan University of Hubei province, 70 percent of the 2,000 students who are going to take the college and high school entrance exams feel under pressure (压力).Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make people feel worried or break their balance of life in some way.Stress isnt always bad. Sometimes, peoples stress is important during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to stop his car to avoid an accident. Sometimes, stress can help people do their best like while getting ready before a big competition or exam.However, too much or long-term stress gives people a stress overload (负荷过多). People with stress overloads may have problems remembering or concentrating on things. They are quick to get angry or lose patience. They may even have other problems, such as sleeping problems, headaches and often getting colds.The most helpful way to deal with stress overloads is to learn how to manage the stress. For example, you might manage it by getting a good nights sleep, or by exercising every day.Another good way to deal with stress is to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress.

The ostrich is found in nature in Africa, but it is raised all over the world for its meat.The ostrich is a unique（独特的）looking animal. It has long skinny legs, a big body with small wings, a long neck, and a dangerous long beak（喙）.Even though it has wings, it cant fly. But they arent completely useless either. They help a lot with balance when the ostrich is running at full speed and needs to change directions. The ostrich usually weighs between 200 and 300 pounds and can grow to 9 feet tall. Its large body is covered with feathers.The ostrich is famous for its speed on the ground. Its powerful legs allow it to reach speeds of 40 miles per hour! Ostriches can also use their strong legs to kick any enemy or even kill a human or a lion. However, in most cases the ostrich just use its speed to run away from any danger.Ostriches eat whatever they can find. This includes plants ,insects, and small animals like lizards. They often live in groups. A group will have around ten birds, but some groups even have 100 birds. This way the whole group can help to protect the eggs. Ostrich eggs are the biggest eggs of any animal at an average of 3 pounds.Ostriches dont actually put their head in the ground as many cartoons like to show. What they really do is to lie down and put their head and neck flat on the ground to hide. From a distance all you can see is their body, so it appears as if they have put their head in a hole in the ground. Ostriches can not only kick with powerful feet, they are also armed with 4 inch long claws（爪）on their feet.The OstrichLiving _Be found in nature in Africa and raised all over the worldLooksIt has long legs, a big body with small wings, a long _, and a long beak.Its wins help a lot with balance while running _The ostrich is a big bird that is about 9 feet in_AbilitiesThe ostrich is_To kill hia enemies with its stong legs.Its high speed can help it_any danger.Food and qualitiesThe ostrich lives on a lot of things,_plants ,insects, and small animals.Ostriches live in groups to _Their eggs.Fun factsThe ostrich _itself by lying down and putting their head and neck flat on the groundThe ostrich has powerful _with 4 inch long claws.六、 完成句子。根据所给提示，完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。 (共5题；共5分)19. （1分）Mary often has a cup of tea after a meal.（改为否定句）Mary _ often _ a cup of tea after a meal.20. （1分）I check my e-mails on Sunday.
