Study for an approaching exam
Studying hard for a few days can be tiring, but it always pays off! Most people clearly recall the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was near. If you’re in this situation, don’t worry. Many people have proven that there is still enough time to study, if you do it properly. Here are some strategies to help you.
Calm down! Fear will only make your situation worse. __1__ Many times, fear can even hurt your chances of doing well in the exam. If you are nervous, take deep breaths, and tell yourself strategies to help you.
Study the most important topics first. Exams usually cover a few main ideas, concepts, or skills. When you are short of time, focus your energies on the key areas. Review the highlighted topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher stressed repeatedly. __2__.
Determine what subjects you don’t know enough about. __3__The parts you know more about still need reviewing, but they will come to you more easily. So try to focus on the more challenging topics.
__4__You don’t get extra points for going it alone. Classmates can be helpful in studying, and choose someone who will be able to help you. Ask for help from your parents, brothers or sisters. __5__ Form a study group. Not only do you have additional help, you also have the advantage of studying with people you know well.

A．Do more study on these topics.
B．Studying together can be helpful.
C．They may really appreciate being asked.
D．This way, you will for sure get a better grade.
E. You will be focusing on the horror, not the coming exam.
F. They are all clues as to what are really the vital topics.
G. Realize that last-minute studying is not the best way to study.


【小題1】E
【小題2】F
【小題3】A
【小題4】B
【小題5】C

解析【小題1】根據(jù)后一句話fear can even hurt your chances of doing well in the exam.可知這里是指你的緊張，這樣的緊張會(huì)影響你考試的表現(xiàn)。
【小題2】根據(jù)這一段開頭Study the most important topics first指要學(xué)習(xí)真正重要的內(nèi)容。
【小題3】由本段開頭Determine what subjects you don’t know enough about.可知本段是關(guān)于自己不太擅長的內(nèi)容，對(duì)于這樣的部分要更認(rèn)真的學(xué)。
【小題4】由第三句Classmates can be helpful in studying,可知本段是關(guān)于合作學(xué)習(xí)的。
【小題5】根據(jù)前一句Ask for help from your parents, brothers or sisters可知這里是指要向別人提問。

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority（優(yōu)先）over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.
　　In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail— other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
　　Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical（合乎道義的）or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or catch our vulnerability(弱點(diǎn)). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
　　Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution（美國憲法）.
【小題1】According to the passage, persuasion means ________.

A．changing others’ point of view
B．exercising power over other people
C．getting other people to consider your point of view
D．getting people to agree with you and do what you want
【小題2】The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means“________”.
A．winB．failC．speakD．listen
【小題3】The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.
A．a(chǎn) danger to societyB．difficult to do well
C．unwelcome behaviorD．never successful
【小題4】The passage mainly discusses ________.
A．people’s different opinions towards persuasion
B．the reasons why people persuade
C．that persuasion is both good and bad
D．that persuasion is important and it is all around us

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.  71 _ 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 her worries and fears，but don’ t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized.  72   Together，you and your teen can work out a schedule in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm environment. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy(隱私). Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy，balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best.   73    If this happens，encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet，rather than junk food，is best for reducing stress.
  74  Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/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.   75  Your panic，anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’ s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly，reassure (安慰)your teen that things will be all right， no matter what the results are.

A．A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions.
B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite（a desire for food）.
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.

WASHINGTON(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday．

People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study

of 60,000 people in Singapore found．

Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other

poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study．

“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰島素)in The body,which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,”Pereira said in a statement．

Writing in the joumal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and colleagues

said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for l4 years．

Over that time，140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer．Those who drank two or

more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got

pancreatic cancer．

Pereira said he believed the fndings would apply elsewhere。

“Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare．Favorite pastimes(消遣)are

eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other western countries，”he said．

But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious．

“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of

cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not�！眘aid Mayne．

who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for

Cancer Research．

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally．In

the United States，37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die

of it．

4 1．According to the text，who is in control of the health study?

A．Mark Pereira．               B．Scientists from Singapore．

C．Researchers in Yale．         D．Susan Mayne．

42．We can infer from Pereira,s words that__．

A．the heahhcare in Singapore should be greatly improved

B．2 soft drinks a day are considered harmful to health

C．87 out of l40 volunteers developed pancreatic cancer

D．sugar might not be the only cause of pancreatic cancer

43．How does Susan seem to feel about the findings of the study?
