Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a
professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start
worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an
exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short
maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the
upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the
students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers
used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to
think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an
average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预),
all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well
as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor
Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
4. What may the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams. B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials. D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
5. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Asking the students to ignore the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D. Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
6. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________.
A. became less nervous before the test
B. were better at controlling their feelings
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings
7. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit.
B. We can only write about our worries right before an exam.
C. The best place to write about our worries is in the test room.
D. It doesn’t matter where we write about our worries before an exam.
C
A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it
comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research
project into teenagers and money, arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be
burdened with greater debts man any before.
University tuition fees (学费) are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and
the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.
In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to
identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31.000 by the age
of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt
when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than
10.000. Average debts for graduates are 12，363.
Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said.
"The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more
likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and
effectively."
Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of
student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki
Fairweathcr. aged 15. from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted
that she still had a lot to learn about money.
8. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project
A. Students understand personal finances differently.
B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.
C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.
D. The students' payback ability has become a major issue.
9. The phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".
A. to raise the student loans B. to improve the school facilities
C. to increase the upper limit of the tuition D. to lift the school building roofs
10. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.
A. are too young to be exposed to financial issues B. should learn to manage their finances well
C. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans D. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance
11. What can we learn from the passage
A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters well
B. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.
C. Financial planning is a required course at college.
D. Young people should become responsible adults.
D
We humans like to conquer.
For the same reason that soccer players want to hold the World Cup trophy(奖杯) and tennis players crave a
Grand Slam win, mountaineers dream of reaching the highest peak on the planet — Mount Qomolangma, which
towers about 8,844 meters above sea level.
“Everybody wants to stand on top of the world,” Mirza Ali from Pakistan who had just “conquered” Mount
Qomolangma, told the Los Angeles Times.
However, this desire to conquer has become so strong that we have begun to travel in the wrong direction.
During this year’s climbing season—from March to May—at least 11 climbers died in the Himalayas, making
it one of the worst seasons on record. And the fact that many of the climbers were inexperienced is one of the major
factors(因素) contributing to the tragedy, according to USA Today.
“They don’t train very hard. They underestimate(低估) Qomolangma,” Jangbu Sherpa, who has been working
as a guide on Mount Qomolangma since 2006, told NBC News. “There are lots of climbers who just want to check
the box so that they can say they’ve been to the top of the world.”
This ignorant attitude of climbers also leads to other problems—apart from putting their own lives at risk, of
course. According to HuffPost, the mountain’s cleaning group collected 12 tons of trash—including food
wrappers(包装袋), and oxygen tanks—left behind this climbing season. This once holy(神圣的) and peaceful
corner of the world has, as The Atlantic reporter Margret Grebowics put it, “lost its magic”.
Perhaps what we should do now is restore meaning to the activity itself—real meaning. And for Alison Levine,
a US mountaineer who reached the summit(山顶) of Mount Qomolangma in 2010, the meaning doesn’t come with
the summit itself, but with everything that led her up to it.
“When I did make it to the summit, what I realized is that standing on top of a mountain doesn’t change you
and doesn’t change the world,” Levine told the NPR. “It’s really about the journey. The journey is the most
important thing on any mountain.”
It’s true that we humans like to conquer. But the first step of conquering anything is probably to learn to
conquer our own greed(贪婪) and ignorance.
12. What does the underlined word “crave” mean
A. have no interest in B. have a strong desire for
C. be optimistic about D. be likely to win
13. What is a major cause of the climbing tragedy this year, according to USA Today
A. Not having enough training and experience. B. Not bringing enough number of oxygen tanks.
C. Not having professional climbing equipment. D. Not being accustomed to the cold weather.
14. What matters more to Levine when she climbs
A. Being on top of the world. B. Being able to change the world.
C. The journey to reach the summit. D. The spirit to conquer the summit.
15..What attitude does the author hold toward climbing Mount Qomolangma
A. Regretful. B. Critical. C. Encouraging. D. Doubtful.

How to lower costs and improve the living quality
There are numerous products posted on social media, and you might believe an electric toothbrush, Luna
facial cleaning massager, a flight ticket to Phuket and so on will bring you a better life. But for many graduates or
those who have worked for only one or two years, your income cannot keep pace with expense. ___16___ Here’s
how:
Keep running or doing yoga
It seems to be a challenge to afford a fitness center costing over 10,000 yuan in annual fees or for a personal
trainer. But you can buy a pair of sneakers or a yoga mat instead. Running in a park regularly or doing yoga at
home using free online resources is definitely a type of quality life. ___17___.
Go to museums or libraries
Chasing young good-looking stars, watching their films and buying expensive tickets for their concerts are
popular with many young people. ___18___ You seem to fail to take into account a variety of exhibitions and
resources updated frequently in major cities. Why not have a try What you need to do is to choose themes that you
are interested in, make an online appointment in advance and then enjoy your weekend.
___19___
For some young people, the easy and instant access and the discount codes of online shopping make it an
addictive draw. Sometimes what you buy online is not what you really need and the demands are created by the
producers. For example, many buy new clothing and they don’t wear.
___20___ Money is not the only thing that can drive your quality of living, but your optimistic attitude
towards life and self-disciplined way of life are.
A. Stop over-spending online
B. Limit your shopping spending
C. So, how can we save some money and improve quality of life
D. Making money and saving money are not the final goal of life.
E. To live a quality life requires more self-discipline than money.
F. However, this would do little to enrich your spiritual life and add to economic burdens.
G. Exercise is more rewarding than holding a membership card at an expensive fitness club.
