【题目】How to cultivate a creative hobby in college

Your undergraduate days are arguably some of the most stressful of your life.The best way to get it all out is to express yourself creatively.Here is how to get started:

1The first step is finding room in your schedule to actually sit down and let your creative juices flow.2 However,one of the best things you can do for yourself is take time to relax and let your mind wander as it pleases.If you want to actually make your art a part of your career though,you will have to devote a serious chunk of your day to it.

Take a course.3Schedule an appointment with your advisor and see if the college you attend offers a course in the creative field that you're interested in.

Join a club or make one.Chances are that there are other students at your school that share the same interests as you.4If there isn't one,check out the procedures for going about making one!

Constantly search for inspiration.5This could mean something as simple as looking for blogs that showcase work that you admire or going to a museum in your college town and wandering around for a bit.

Even if you don't feel that you have enough talent to make your art a part of your professional career,it never hurts to try.The skills that you learn while working at your art might even possibly help you in the workplace down the road.

A.Learn how to make a club.

B.Everyone is busy in college.

C.Make time in your schedule.

D.You should try to make you a well-rounded and interesting person.

【题目】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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every student has tests when they are at school. But have you ever been so worried about the tests that you can’t fall asleep at night? Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test?

___【1】___This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid, which can give you a stomachache or a headache.

___2__ Good or normal stress might happen when you are called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. ___3___

But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if you are going through anything else that makes you upset every day. ___4___

__5___That means making good decision about how to spend your time. If you are only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure and Food. If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff, you will probably be less stressed out!

A. However, there are two different kinds of stress.

B. Can you tell a kind of stress from another one?

C. The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life.

D. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you, and it can actually make you sick.

F. If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.

G. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test.

【题目】I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival.She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her,not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will.However,I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.

So I boarded the plane in mid-August,and hated the long flight.I arrived,tired and hungry.I had left my husband of 2 years,alone,in our old New Orleans house.

I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago.The hurricane was predicted to hit our city,and many people had already evacuated,but my husband chose to stay behind.He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world,but he could call his cousin in Chicago.He gave his cousin a message for me,that he would be just fine,and not to worry.

As the day wore on,I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans,and I realized,thanks to CNN,that New Orleans was under water.

I performed,hoping that my husband would survive.And I performed perfectly.The audience stood and applauded.I left the stage and went straight to the TV.I saw the street sign near my home,of Humanity Street,but nothing below it,except water.

In the days that followed,I found out that my house,my car,my clothes,my furniture,everything that I'd left behind was gone...but not my husband.He survived by riding on the rear bumper(后保险杆)of a VW bus,holding on to the overhead luggage rack,in the pouring rain,down the highway from New Orleans,half-way to Baton Rouge.The rest of the journey was a long walk,but he survived.

By the first week of September,I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport,and hugged my husband.Since then,our relationship has grown deeper;we have completely rebuilt our house,bought a new car,bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational,spirit-filled community.
