Have you ever had a headache during a test? Have you ever been too worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is．

Not all stress is bad for you．Some kinds of stress can help you get things do better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are being asked to give a speech to your class．Stress sometimes can help push you to make full preparation for a test．However, too much stress can result in anger, depression and other related problems, which we need to take serious．

There are many things in our life what might cause stress ------ having too much homework, taking a difficult test, and having economic problems．

It’s impossible to live in a life completely free of stress, so you should learn to deal with stress．The best way reduce stress is to have a balance life．If you get enough sleep, eat properly, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you’ll probably feel less stressed．

Zero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.

The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag, removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.

Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes --- with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.

The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose. Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration, used for drinking and other purposes. (Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.

1.According to the first paragraph, the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as _______ into a major challenge.

A. eating B. taking baths

C. sleeping D. answering nature’s call

2.How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?

A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.

B. Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.

C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.

D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.

3.To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with _______

A. a plastic bag B. a sticky strip

C. a wide hose D. a thigh bar

4.What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts’ urine is recycled?

A. The recycled water tastes better.

B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.

C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.

D. Space science includes recycling urine.

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.

In recent years, many writers have begun to speak of the ‘decline of class ’ and ‘classless society ’ in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.

But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging study of pubic opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class; 73 percent agreeed that class was still a vital part of British society.; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an imprtant part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.

One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounds ‘educated ’ and ‘soft ’. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的) city accents. These accents were seen as ‘common ’ and ‘ugly ’. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.

In recent years, however, young upper midder-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song ‘ Common People ’ puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may ‘ want to live like common people ’ they can never appreciate the reality of a working class life.

1.A recent study of pubic opinion shows that in modern Britain_________.

A. it is time to end class distinction

B. most people belong to middle class

C. it is easy to recognize a person’s class

D. people regard themselves socially different

2.The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_________.

A. variety B. division

C. authority D. qualification

3.The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.

A. regional B. educated

C. prejudiced D. unattractive

4.British attitudes towards accent_________.

A. have a long tradition

B. are based on regional status

C. are shared by the Americans

D. have changed in recent years

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The middle class is expanding.

B. A person’s accent reflects his class.

C. Class is a key part of British society.

D. Each class has unique characteristics.

It’s great fun to explore(探索)new places---it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you' re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

1.Sitting beside the driver, you should ________.

A. direct the driver when necessary

A. the fun of exploration

B. what to bring for exploration

C I am a writer．I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with．

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks．Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example．But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker．

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say．That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．

I started writing fiction in 1985．And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure．I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．

1.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______．

A．she is a writer by profession

B．she is fascinated by languages

C．she works as a translator

D．she uses English in foreign trade

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A．Americans do not understand broken English．

B．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts．

C．The author’ mother had positive influence on her．

D．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes．

3.The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____．

A．well structured

B．rich in meaning

C．in the old style

D．easy to translate

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A．The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English．

B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother．

C．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English．

D．The author’s experiences of using broken English．

The first Europeans came to America in 1492 with Christopher Columbus. Since that time people have come to America from all over the world, from Europe, Africa, and Asia, and they have brought their music with them. This mixing of people and music has created American music.

Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving, and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth.

Others remind of the people they love. Many important occasions, like weddings and funerals have special music. Every nation has a national song like the American “The Star?Spangled Banner”. In the US high schools and colleges have school songs too.

Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people. As the years pass, the music grows and changes.

Modern science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radios, movies, electric instruments, tape recorders, and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of international communication.

American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”， is known around the world. Music is one of America's most important exports. It brings the people of the world together.
