1.Sometimes we can get so caught up in the stress and worry of our personal lives that our minds become too confused to operate effectively.This is especially dangerous in a test-taking situation.After hours of reading and studying,our brains can lock up in a state of overload.
In a stressful situation it's often a must to clear your mind completely to allow your brain to refresh itself and recalibrate all of its functions.But when you're tense,clearing your mind isn't so easy!Try this relaxation technique if you think your brain has seized up from information overload.
1.Set aside at least five minutes for quiet"clearing"time.If you're at school,see if you can put your head down somewhere or find an empty room or quiet space.If necessary,set a watch (or phone) alarm or ask a friend to tap you on the shoulder at a designated time.
2.Think of a time or place that puts you into a complete state of peace.This place will vary from person to person.Have you ever sat on the beach watching the waves come in and realized you've"zoned out"fora while?This is the sort of experience you're looking for.Other experiences that make us zone out could be:Sitting in the dark and staring at Christmas tree lights-remember how peaceful that feels?
3.Cover your eyes and go to your"place".If you are at school preparing for a test before class,you may simply rest your elbows on the desk and put your hands over your eyes.For some people,it may not be a good idea to put your head down.(You might fall asleep!)
Don't let any thoughts creep into your head.As soon as you start to think about a test problem,clear away the thought and concentrate on your peaceful place.
4.Snap out of it!Remember,this is not nap time.The point here is to refresh your brain.After five or ten minutes of clearing time,take a brisk walk or take a drink of water to re-energize your mind and body.Stay relaxed and resist the urge to think about the things that are stressing you out or clogging your brain.Don't let your brain go back to freeze-out.
Now go on with your test or study session refreshed and ready!

2.Aerial(空中的)performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs,but she never let it stop her.
Wrapped in a loop(圈)of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music.Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back,high above the ground a move-that's all the more daring because she has no legs.
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker.She had big brown eyes,a bright smile,and huge amounts of energy.When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶),they refused.
Jennifer soon learned to walk-and run-on her hands and bottom,and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline (蹦床)with her three older brothers."My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different.I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do."
At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs,but she never really took to them-she moved more freely without.
In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta.Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team,and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US.When Moceanu and the women's team won gold,Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast,too.She took up power tumbling,which involves performing floor exercises down a runway.But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.
Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.

6.The eyeliner makes the dark circles less visible.The lip gloss hides the trembling.The ponytail hides missing patches of hair.The Abercrombie sweater covers bruises.I might look at bit thinner,but everyone will ask about my new diet.My hair might not shine the way it used to,but the pink ribbon will distract curious eyes.One hour of preparation and I look like myself.One hour of preparation and no one will know.One hour out of 24.Sometimes I woner if it's worth it-wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie.But then I see my wispy hair and baggy eyes,and I have to do it.
Checking my makeup one last time,I push my sleeves up,though not past my elbows.I slip on a cute pair of flat shoes-heels are too dangerous with shaky legs-and grab my Hollister bag.Padding downstairs,I breathe in the scent of waffles and syrup.
"Morning,Mom,"I call.
"Morning,baby,"she chirps."Did you sleep well?"
"Better than I have been."
She sighs,and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute."Any improvement is good,"she says half-heartedly.
"Of course."
"I made waffles."Her offering.
"Thanks,Mom.Smells delicious."My offering.
I sit at the table and she hands me a plate.The thought of all that food turns my stomach,but I force a smile and thank my mother again.She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter.When she turns around,she takes in the waffles still on my plate,only missing a few bites.I smile apologetically.
"I'm not very hungry this morning."
"You'll need your strength for this afternoon."She bites her lip.She doesn't like to bring it up over breakfast.I eat another bite.
"I packed your lunch."
"I'm 18,Mom.I can pack my own lunch.You have more important things to do."
She reaches for the paper sack."But now I know you'll have something to eat.And you need to eat,okay?You have to keep your strength up."
Sighing,I take the bag.I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won't be eaten,not any more than the one yesterday or the day before.Anything consumed after 11ends up in a plastic basin at 4:07.It'sjust the way it works.
"Hon,have you thought about what I said the other day?"she asks.
I shrug noncommittally.
"Sweetheart,you can't hide this forever.Eventually you're going to miss school and people will start asking questions."
"Mom,I have two months left of high school.I can make it till then.I'm class president and probably will make a graduation speech.I was voted‘Most popular,'‘Most fun to be around,'‘Best smile,'and‘Most likely to succeed.'I'm the girl who's got it all together.People don't want to know that the girl who's got it all together,doesn't have it all toether.People don't want to know that girl is dying!"
"Honey,don't say that.You're not dying."
"Yes,I am.You heard Dr.Morrison.I have maybe a year left.Mom,listen to me.I don't want to be the girl everyone looks at and whispers,‘Look at her.Poor thing!I can't handle that.I want to be normal.Just for these last two months."
"Okay,"she whispers."Okay.Just remember,it's okay if you don't have it all together.Sometimes things just fall apart and there's nothing we can do."
"Thanks,Mom."I grab my bag and lunch and kiss her on the cheek."I love you.""I love you too,"my mom replies.This exchange,once taken for granted,is now a vital part of every morning,every afternoon,every night.Three little words,followed by four more,have come to mean more than an entire conversation.They bridge all gaps and disagreements,because we both know there is now a finite number left.
Keys in hand,I open the door and blink in the early morning sun.My silver car waits in the driveway and as I walk toward it,I check my reflection in the tinted window.Perfect.

3.Education Does Count
----Bill GatesHundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education.They want to know what to study,or whether it's OK to drop out of college since that's what I did.
My basic advice is simple and heartfelt."Get the best education you can.Take advantage of high school and college.Learn how to learn."
It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft,but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out--and I'd love to have the time to go back.As I've said before,nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime.And even then they should reconsider.
In my company's early years we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time.We told him no.
Quite a few of our people didn't finish college,but we discourage dropping out.
Having a diploma certainly helps someone who is looking to us for a job.
There's not a perfect correlation(相连关系) between attitudes in high school and success in later life,of course.But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects,to learn to work with people in high school,and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.

The Author/Bill Gates is often asked to give advice about education due to his successful experience.He thinks it is unwise to drop out and that learning is sure to be beneficial
Some students want to drop out of school,believing schooling has nothing to do witha successful career,because there are many cases where people who don't finish their schooling are successful,such as Bill Gates.Besides,the high tuition of college educationis too much for ordinary families.Dropping out to find a job helps them to lighten the heavy financial burden on theirparents.Furthermore,experience counts most for a career and no wonder some would like to accumulate experience by takinga job at an early age.
"Knowledgeis power."Without knowledge,by no means canwe achieve our life goal.Schools are where people become knowledgeable.As for me,it is a wise option to concentrate on study from now on.I will make full use of time to complete my schooling and realize my dream..
1.What's going on under Liverpool?A Rainy Day in Liverpool
Dark clouds appear over the River Mersey and a cold wind is blowing.A few rain drops are beginning to fall.We're in the famous city of Liverpool and we're going to spend this rainy day in the Williamson Tunnels.
An Interesting Life Story
Joseph Williamson was born into a poor family in 1769,but left home and went to work for a tobacco company aged 11.He began at the bottom,and finally became head of the business.
An Unsolved Mystery
Nobody knows why Williamson dug tunnels under most of Liverpool,but many think it was to create jobs.Perhaps half of Liverpool's population worked for him.The industry of war had made enormous amounts of money,but now Liverpool was in a terrible financial situation.
The King of Edge Hill
I went on a guided tour starting close to where his empire began in Edge Hill.In the tunnels,the steps leading from rooms below ground to those buildings,which no longer exist,seem particularly ghostly.
Incredible Engineering
We go into the Double Tunnel.It's just been discovered that it's actually a triple tunnel-but nobody knows why the three tunnels were built on top of each other.
We finish the tour and decide we'll have a coffee in the Williamson Tunnels Cafe Bar.There,I notice lots of flyers for bands and theater groups that are coming to play there.
Why Liverpool?
Apart from the obvious attractions like the football clubs,or anything to do with the Beatles,Liverpool has a lot to offer.Princes Park and Croxteth Park were royal hunting grounds and the trees are 200years old.Renshaw Street displays are an unusual mix of architecture styles.The nightlife is exciting.If you want to experience a part of the British Isles with a character entirely different from London,you should definitely come to Liverpool.

21.Which of the following is TRUE about Joseph Williamson?C
A.He was born in the early 1700s.
B.He left home when he turned 18.
C.He worked for a tobacco company when he was young.
D.He started his business by himself but ended up broke.
22.Where did Williamson start his business?B
A.Princes Park.B.Edge Hill.
C.Croxteth Park.D.Renshaw Street.
23.What can you do in Liverpool?D
a.Join football clubs.
b.Enjoy Beatles music.
c.Visit famous tourist spots.
d.Enjoy the beautiful beach.
