I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
【小題1】Who wrote this passage?

A．A reporter. B．A sportsman. C．A patient. D．A professor.

C．they cannot be controlled by people

【小題3】 If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?
A．Go swimming often to get used to it. 
B．Avoid going to the swimming pool. 
C．Find a swimming teacher. 
D．Imagine watching others swim. 
【小題4】What is true about nervousness according to the passage?
A．It usually has only one cause. 
B．It is usually caused by people. 
C．People can easily manage it. 
D．Most people suffer from it.

Almost all the students go to traditional schools now. But there will probably be a new type of education in the future—open education.
There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to develop their interests in many subjects. Open education asks students to be strict with their own education. The open classroom may help them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.
But many students may not do well in open education. They will not make good use of open education.

If they eat up their food, students can collect coupons (優(yōu)惠券) and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, a student at a university in Shanghai, “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The action is part of a national “eat-up” campaign (行動) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses (校園).
Why only on campuses? You might ask. Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average (平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment —friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, Secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
Some school food doesn’t taste delicious, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking actions to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the “eat-up” campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food quality on campuses.” said Tao.
【小題1】From Paragraph 1, we know that the students will get a coupon   .

A．when they eat school food
B．a(chǎn)fter they exchange gifts
C．if they finish all their food

It’s a long-awaited day for China. The navy now has its first aircraft carrier(航空母艦), Liaoning. It’s a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（過道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. That’s because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck.. For visitors, it’s so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions.
Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today’s sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor’s Degrees and 45 have a Master’s. The whole team is young but vigorous. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard(在船上).
【小題1】Why do we visitors get lost easily inside the carrier?

A．Because they don’t have a map.
B．Because the living space is quite small.
C．Because there are too many corridors for rooms.
D．Because the corridor inside the carrier is too long.
【小題2】Why is the living space for the sailors（水手）quite small?
A．Because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living.
B．Because the carrier is small.
C．Because It has all the functions for daily life.

B．Most of the soldiers received good education.
C．The expense（花費）to run a carrier is high.
