Kids' health ： four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 22      Some ways of dealing with stress―like screaming or hit?ting someone―don't solve much. But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps next time you are stressed ：

(1) Get support. When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult,such as a parent or other relatives. 23      They might have had similar prob?lems,such as dealing with a test,or the death of a belov?ed pet.

(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh,dear,that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. 24     

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends,it's time to get down to business. 25      Even if you can't solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的) . Remember stress does go away,especially when you fig?ure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren't magic,but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time,you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 26     

   A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

   B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

   C. Different people get rid of stress in different ways.

   D. Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone.

   E.You need to figure out what the problem is.

   F.And don't forget about your friends. 

    G. Then,find a way to calm down.

  [2015山东省实验中学高三第一次模拟考试] Three decades ago,Steve McCurry took arguably the most famous picture of all time. Yet even after all this time,the pho?tographer is filled with enthusiasm when he talks about Afghan Girl.

  "I knew she had an incredible look,a sharp gaze,"he recalls. "It was before the digital camera and with the big crowd and dust all around* you never knew what would happen with the film. When I developed the picture,I knew it was special. I showed it to the editor of the Na?tional Geographic,and he jumped to his feet and shouted, 'That's our next cover.”，  

 Not only did Afghan Girl become the magazine's next cover,but the most successful in its famous history. The striking portrait of 12-year-old Sharbat Gula,in a ref?ugee camp,was taken in December 1984 and published the following year.

When McCurry reflects upon its popularity,what ex?cites him most is the impact that this single image has had on the real world.

  "People volunteered to work in the refugee camps be?cause of that photograph,"he says. "Afghans are incredi?bly proud of it,as the girl is poor but shows great pride,strong will and self-respect. It drew attention to then poor situation,and inspired a lot of people. ” It also led the National Geographic to set up the' Afghan Children's Fund―and meant that to this day,McCurry is never charged a fare by appreciative Afghan taxi drivers.

 The portrait forms the centrepiece of a major exhibi?tion of McCurry's work,which opened recently in Monza,Italy,and will run until 6        April. The famous photograph is just one of thousands of extraordinary pictures that McCurry has taken over a 40-year career during which he has won dozens of awards. For many years,frontline war photography like this was McCurry's stock-in-trade. In?deed,it enabled him to make his name.

   D. Afghan Children's Fund was set up.

21. What can we infer from the text?

  [2016届保定市高二下学期周练] I want to become a journalist and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In or?der to find the answer,I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist.

  "You've got to have the interest. If you don't like it,you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job " Mary said.

  Out of experience Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, "What a journalist does is painting a little picture of a story. The information has to be accurate. Therefore,you really have to be watching and listening.”

  Mary also emphasized(强调) the importance of expe?rience. "It is important to collect as many skills as possi?ble to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills come from experience,so you won't walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because you've done it long enough," she said.

  Mary said, " You will not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepared to put in long hours;you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word,you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you think ⁱ Why is somebody paying me to do something that I really love?"' From what an experienced journalist said,I learn that it is not just about the skills,but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.

 [2015山东宁阳四中高二年级月考] How to deal successfully with a child showing outstanding musical ability? Its not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift. Many parents may even fail to recog?nize and respond to their children's need until discouragement explodes into uncooperative behaviour. And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects,the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordina?ry school. Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school.

  The five music schools in Britain aim to provide all environment where gifted children can develop their skills under the guidance of professional musicians. Children here spend about half of a day on musical activities,for ex?ample,individual lessons,orchestras,chamber (室内音乐的) groups,voice training,conducting and theory. They also spend several hours a day practising in private rooms. The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects ： Eng?lish,maths and basic sciences.

  What are the disadvantages? An obvious problem is that the fees are high. However,each school will offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Secondly,not all parents want to send their children to the boarding school，especially at an early age. Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such a tense and disciplined (守纪律的) environment. They stress,however,that their main aim is to turn out "well-rounded and well-balanced individuals".

11. If a child's musical ability is not recognized,      .  

    A.the child may behave badly

   B. the ability may fade away

   C. the child may lose interest

   D. the parents may become anxious 

12.        What probably may musically gifted children face in ordinary schools?

   A. Their academic work may suffer.

   B. Schools lack musical equipment.

   C. Music is not seen as an important subject.

   D. Parents and teachers don't work together.

13. The passage mainly talks about      .

   A. education and development about children

   B. disadvantages of music schools

   C. music schools for children with music gift

   D. how to deal with music-talented children
