If you like to break things when you are unhappy, the Nanjing Zhonghua Middle School is the school for you. This term, Nanjing Zhonghua Middle School will build a "stress wall" to help students who feel unhappy because of schoolwork or for other reasons.
Tao Dehua, a leader at the school said the idea of a stress wall started when footprints were found on some newly painted walls and some school windows were broken.
"These things happen because some students feel lots of pressure from their studies or because they don't get along well with other students. When under stress, the body get ready to either run or fight and becomes very nervous. Hitting the wall can help relax the body and take away stress," Tao said.
"Tests and homework make me Sad," said Lu Yan, a junior girl. “I can't wait to hit the wall. It will help me a lot with my problems."
Another girl student who wouldn't give her name said that the wall won't help. “Mainly because it can't talk," she said. "I need to talk to someone when I'm sad."

1、The passage conveys to us that in order to help students with stress, the Nanjing Zhonghua Middle School built a “stress wall” for students to relax, towards which students have different opinions.
2、One possible version:
Nowadays, students are under great pressure, which mainly comes from their peers, parents as well as school work. There is no doubt that as the competing for better academic work and future is getting fiercer and fiercer, students feel more and more pressure.
As far as I am concerned, building a stress wall, which the students can hit, is not appropriate. For one thing, as the saying goes, violence is not the solution to problems, which means that even if students punch the wall heavily, the true stress in the bottom of their hearts can not be let out. For another, this may lead students to solve a problem with violence, causing more trouble.
People have different ways of relieving stress in order to live happy and healthy lives. Some people prefer to engage in physical exercise by taking part in outdoor activities or playing sports, while some feel more relaxed listening to music or even after a good sleep. As for me, I find that the best way to reduce stress is to spend time with my family or friends. In addiction, some interest clubs such as music, dance, are also good places that offer comfort to students.

考点:论说文
阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
