Every student has tests when they are at school. But have you ever been so worried about the tests that you can’t fall asleep at night? Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test?【小题1】_____ This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid, which can give you a stomachache or a headache.
【小题2】 Good or normal stress might happen when you are called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done.【小题3】
But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if you are going through anything else that makes you upset every day.【小题4】
【小题5】 That means making good decision about how to spend your time. If you are only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure and Food. If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff, you will probably be less stressed out!
| A．However, there are two different kinds of stress. |
| B．Can you tell a kind of stress from another one? |
| C．The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. |
| D．That kind of stress isn’t going to help you, and it can actually make you sick. |
F. If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.
G. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test.
Tips for a Happier Workplace
You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello! ”in the morning
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore(忽视)you or avoid you. 【小题1】It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk
Ask your co-workers about their interests—their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. 【小题2】Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆Ask what they think
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask, “What do you think of this report? ” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation? ”【小题3】
◆Avoid gossip(流言飞语)
【小题4】So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond(回应)with, “Really? ”and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆【小题5】
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette(礼节). There’s nothing more frustrating(令人沮丧的)to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder; it also conveys(传达)an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.

The Dark Age of Greece
【小题1】Among early civilizations, we call the low points "dark ages", because civilizations often dropped to such a low level that it is hard to get an accurate picture of their history during these periods. During a dark age, a civilization may not have produced monuments, statue, or other objects which we use to learn about early civilizations.
One' of the most important dark ages was the dark age of Greece,which lasted from about 1100 BC to 900 BC. Prior to-that-time,Greece had a highly advanced society called the Mycenaean civilization. The Mycenaeans were a trading civilization【小题2】In fact, the Mycenaean civilization was so important that when it collapsed in the 12th centuryBC,most other civilizations in the region collapsed as well.The next 200 years are like a blank page to historians and we know very little about this period.【小题3】The collapse of the Mycenaeans brought an end to writing in the area, and thus an end to the written records historians rely on.
The little that we know about this period has been learned from archaeology. It seems that civilization became much less advanced. The pottery from this period is much simpler and less artistic. This suggests that there was lack of wealthy people to buy higher quality products. 【小题4】 This would suggest a large decrease in population, possibly due to a widespread lack of food and consequent starvation.
Sometime around 800 BC, the Greeks began to emerge from this dark age, most probably due to the influence of other civilizations. They had lost their early writing system, but began to use the writing system of the Phoenicians at this time.【小题5】Over the next 300 years, their civilization continued to rise, and their dark age was forgotten.
| A．Many civilizations undergo a series of high points and low points during their history. |
| B．Many early civilizations underwent dark ages, but Greece never recovered from its dark age. |
| C．They began constructing larger cities and trading with their neighbors again. |
| D．Another interesting point is that most of the large cities of earlier time periods appear to have been abandoned in favor of much smaller settlements. |
F.and they did much to spread their culture across the eastern Mediterranean.
G.One major reason for this is that writing basically stopped.
