A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress，how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
    Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. 51 What they look for is your presence—to talk，to cry，or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears，but don't let them focus on those fears.
    Help them get organized. 52 Together，you and your teen can work out a timetable in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
    Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It's important for your teen to eat a healthy，balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 53 If this happens，encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet，rather than junk food，is best for reducing stress.
      54   Persuade your teenager to get some sleep or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation，fun，and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
   Show a positive attitude. 55 Your panic，anxiety and blame contribute to your teen's pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly，reassure your teen that things will be all right，no matter what the results are.
A．A parent's attitude will influence their teen's emotions.
B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.(食欲)
C．They will only make the situation worse.
D．Encourage your teen to relax.
E．The best thing is simply to listen.
F．Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly.
G．Your teen may also make negative comments about themselves.

A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems in thinking clearly and remembering.

Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.

The researcher took some saliva from the women’s mouths to measure levels of a hormone (荷尔蒙 ) that increases during stress . He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen .And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain’s temporal lobes. (脑叶).

It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.

The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.

Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.

47．According to the text, jet lag _____.

A. can cause difficulties in speaking

B. can make people feel tired for a few weeks

C. can be only found in flight attendants

D. can be caused by flying over several time zones

48．It can be inferred from the text that ______.

A. the conclusion is refused by many scientists

B. scientists fear that this research is not done properly

C. every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests

D. the women who were examined in the research were not healthy

49．From the result of the research we can see that _____.

A. the women who have longer rest at home perform better on the test.

B. the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobes

C. the women who have longer flights fail the memory test

D. the women who rest more than 14 days produce more hormones

50．What is the subject discussed in the test?

A. The cause of jet lag.

B. A story of a group of flight attendants.

C. The importance of having enough rest after flights.

D. A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain.

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of everything, including the attention of our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

You don’t have to be spineless (懦弱) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

You cannot expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to blame unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not like----selfishness, laziness and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.

At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, chances are that you are not much better, either. The surest way to be happy is to think yourself above other people.

When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate .Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing something to make that person dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right if you just keep trying to be pleasant and polite. If things do not turn out all right, then you will simply have to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.

43．One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along well with others is ________.

A. to draw the attention of our friends

B. to demand the best share of everything

C. to look for treasure in order to be successful

44．The passage shows that there is no perfect person but someone should be blamed if he________.

A. makes a big mistake

45．The passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself ____ .

A. no better than others

B. not the same as others

C. as having something better than others

D. as having better chances than others

46．The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _____ .

A．train you to be perfect

B．show you the way to be happy

C．tell you how to act when you dislike a person

D．teach you how to be popular among your friends

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in an accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to treat another. Yet he charged me $ 155 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other part was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $ 770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time. And I left without getting a cent.

My experience taught me two things about America: Firstly, in America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

39．The author’s roommate offered to help him because _____

A. He felt sorry for the first time.

B. He thought it was a chance to make some money.

C. He knew the doctor was a very good one.

D. He wanted the author to have a good lawyer.

40．A good doctor is essential for the author to_____.

A. be properly treated

B. talk with the person responsible for the accident

C. recover before he leaves America

D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury

41．The underlined word “charge” in the second passage means“____”.

A. be responsible B. accuse C. ask as a price D. claim

42．What conclusion can you draw from the story?

A. Going to court is something very common in America.

B. One must be very careful while driving a car.

C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.

D. Money is more important than other things in America.

One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a quiet 16 of the splendid artwork. A young 17 viewing the paintings ahead of me 18 nonstop between themselves.

I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man’s 19 for putting up with her 20 stream of words. 21 by their noise, I moved on. I met them several times as I moved 22 the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 23 .

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 24 when the couple approached the 25 .Before they left, the man 26 into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He 27 it into a long stick and then 28 his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket. “He’s a 29 man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we became blind at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in 30 there is a new art show.” “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.” “Can’t see! You’re 31 .He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife 32 each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something about patience, 33 and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without 34 and the courage of a husband who would not 35 blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined（挽在一起）.
