Research suggests that students do better when theyre relaxed and in a good mood.Craft was one of about 800 l0th-graders around the country who participated last year in the study by the California-based institute of Heart Math. It found that 55% of l0th-graders often had high levels of test anxiety and their scores were lower than those of students who used the companys techniques to improve relaxation and mood,This year states must start testing children on math and reading in Grade 3 through 8 under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which also requires that students take a science test at least once in elementary, middle and high school by 2020.Bowers is director of counseling for Tucson Unified School District, where some schools use a program called Brain Gym. The program teaches children to take deep breathing exercises to relax and focus on good memories using a series of movements also designed to improve, blood flow to the brain.The idea of programs like Heart Math and Brain Gym is to get participants minds working efficiently. “It has worked well at East Side Charter School in Willington, Delaware. Once they started using Heart math, many children at the K-7 school have been able to reduce exam solicitude, as a result,math and reading score improved. said Bowers. “They are taught to be in a pleasant place. to breathe deeply arid slowly. And, close their eyes and imagine something they love like going with their grandfather to the ice cream store.”Payyon says.The HeartMath Institute also suggests getting at least eight hours of sleep the night before a test and having a healthy breakfast that morning.41. What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably mean?A. Chances. B. Anxiety. C. Grades. D. Content.42. What relaxation techniques should we take to lower exam anxiety?A. Taking deep breathing and recalling movement exercises.B. Getting students minds working efficiently by more tests.C. Advising students to get more sleep before a test.D. Making students take a test in a pleasant place.43. Whats American schools main purpose to introduce relaxation techniques?A. To make an advertisement for a company.B. To introduce a program called Brain Gym.C. To improve the students test scores.D. To reduce examination anxiety of students.44. What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The Institute B. The country C. The study D. Craft45. According to the passage. Bowers attitude towards the programs is _.A. skeptical B. neutral C. casual D. supportiveBHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. Ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.46. What is unnecessary in your job hunting?A. Assessing your skillsB. Going to different areasC. Matching your skills with a position D. taking your personality into consideration47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.48. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your positionB. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.D. You should ignore your skills when you select job.49. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. Design. B. Changes. C. Cooperation. D. Hobbies.skillsJobs Environment MotivationStability ?50.What is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job Pay B. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and Abilities D. Personalities and JobsCI began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mothers idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“ None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?”“ Didnt sell a single one.”“ My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ youll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husbands people for true life and love.51. Why did the boy start his job young?A.

What is the text mainly about?A. The early life of a journalist.B. The early success of a journalist.C. The happy childhood of the writer.D. The important role of the writer in his family.DWolves travel in groups, and they perform almost all the other activities of their lives in the company of fellow wolves. This is one of the most important facts that modern science have learned about wolves and one of the things that most clearly explain their way of life.The pack is usually a family group. It is made up of animals related to each other by blood. The centre of a pack is a pair of wolves-an adult male and female that have produced young. The other members of the pack are their offspring (后代): young wolves ranging in age from pups to two- and three-year-olds. Most packs have 6 or 7 members, although some may include as many as 15 wolves.Relationships among creatures that live close together in groups are often very complex, and this is true of the ties that connect the members of a wolf pack. Scientific studies of captive(被捕获的) wolves and wolf packs in the wild have shown that many complex rules of behavior seem to govern the way that the animals relate to each other.When wolf pups are born into a pack, one of the most important things they must learn is the “language” of the group, the method by which pack members keep in touch with each other, sharing information and communicating their feelings. Scientists have discovered that wolves have a very complex system of communication. The most famous wolf sound is, of course, the howl, and it is a very important part of wolf language.When people think about howling, they usually imagine a sad, lonely sound made by a wolf sitting all alone on a hilltop in the moonlight. However, this picture in most human beings mind is not completely true. Wolves howl at any time, not just at night, and they often howl together, not alone.Group or chorus howling is another means by which the members of a wolf reaffirm(重申) their ties with each other and their closeness as a group. One wolf-often the male leader-will point its nose at the sky, open its mouth, and start to howl. Immediately the other members of the pack rush to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and join their voices to his. Each wolf howls on its own note so that a big chorus of slightly different sounds is produced.Chorus howling often takes place before a wolf pack goes out to hunt. At the end of a successful hunt, the pack may also celebrate with a group howl. While wolves
