一、83For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, dont hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesnt help you, ask someone else. How to get through exams? Here are some advice: Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skillshow to work when you are in an exam.Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sportwhatever you enjoy.Stop thinking about the future and failing.If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But dont be too relaxed! 84Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, dont do it! In fact, dont even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!To this advice, we could add:If you are studying in the evening, dont go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。81. Why do some students hate exams? 82.

They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. 83 Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc. During the 600s B.C, people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their won coins. The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. 84 However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s. Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。81. Why did people start to trade? 82.

Isnt it necessary to dress well?” The philosopher only smiled and took his ring from one of his fingers, and said, “I will answer your question, but first do one thing for me. Take this ring and go to the market. Can you sell this for ten gold coins?”Looking at Zun-Nuns dirty ring, the young man became doubtful and replied, “Ten gold coins? 83 I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price.”The young man went to the market and showed the ring to the cloth, vegetable, meat and fish traders(商人). No one was willing to pay ten gold coins. He went back and said, “Teacher, no one was willing to offer more than one gold coin.”With a calm smile Zun-Nun said, “Now go to the gold shop and show it to the owner. 84Dont give your price, just listen to how much he will pay for this ring.”The young man went to the shop and returned with a big smile. “Teacher, those traders really dont know the value(价值) of the ring. The gold trader offered one thousand gold coins for it.”Zun-Nun said softly, “This is the answer to your question, my friend. A person cannot be valued only from his dress. ”（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。81.

I would like to give you some suggestions about how to prevent from stealing (盗窃).First, lets talk about lighting. We should turn on the outside lights at night. Inside the house, its a good idea to put automatic timers (自动定时器) on lights. When you are out, it will still look like someone is at home. If you live in an apartment building, make sure that theres good lighting in the garage and in the hallways.Next, lets talk about locks. First of all, cheap locks are not safe. You should buy special locks to lock your doors and windows. 83 Remember to lock your doors and windows, even when you leave for just a minute. Did you know that half of the thieves break in through unlocked doors and windows?My next suggestion is not to keep lots of money in the house. Its wise to put your money in a bank. You should put marks on your other valuables, like television, stereos and cameras, so that the police can return them to you if they are found.84Believe it or not, if you follow all of these suggestions above, your house will be safer.（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。81.

Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually trend to be active. People think that red is the symbol of exciting sociable（善交际的） people. Those who like to be with others like red. The cool colors are green, blue and purple. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one scientist says that time seems to pass more quickly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggested that a warm color such as red and orange, is a good color for a living room or a restaurant. 83 People who are relaxed or eating dont want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices of factories, because the people who work there want time to pass quickly. Scientists dont know why people think some colors are warm and others are cool. 84 However, almost everyone agree that warm colors remind people of warm days and cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. （一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。81.
