that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their
test results.
If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
You should always study in the same place. You shouldn"t sit in a position that you use for
another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax.
Don"t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50
percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is
nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the
equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a
dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in
a box beside it .
Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book
at an angle of 30 degrees.
Be realistic and don"t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before
beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to
telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest
is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a
long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve
your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and
deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of
everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don"t get bored.
B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
2. What does the underlined word "it" refers to?
A. Your study desk or table.
B. Your textbook.
C. Your dictionary.
D. The equipment you need.
3. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. You shouldn"t look at everyone else during the test.
B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
C. You"ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.

but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little
regard to the clock or calendar.As some-one who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit
with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like
two hours."
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings
as we age.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more
rapidly it seems to pass.For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Since
most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune
could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly.Almost all of us have had the
experience of driving somewhere we"ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real
idea of when we"ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly
as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking
a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.
When was become as identical as identical as beads(小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even
months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-to stop
time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days
of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us,
learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn"t have to be.
B.time should not be measured by a pendulum
C.physical time is different from psychological time
D.physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
B.We spend less time at the beach.
C.More time is structured and scheduled.
D.Time is structured with too many appointments.
B.unfamiliarity
C.imagination
D.amusement
B.describe how we experience time psychologically
C.show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time
D.explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically

quake killed more than 900 people in Chile. And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural
eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast. 1 It"s not. The problem is what"s happening above
ground, not underground, experts say.
2 They"re rapidly putting up buildings that can"t stand up to earth quakes, scientists believer.
And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all the
time.
On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9. So far this
year there have been 40 earthquakes-more than in most years for that time period. But that"s because the
8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.
Also, it"s not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention. The death is largely
due to building standards, 3 Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the
world"s big cities.
Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be
hit by earthquakes. 4 "If you have a problem feeding yourself, you"re not really going to worry about
earthquakes," said Paul.
The earthquakes made everyone start to think 5 "People are paying attention to the violent planet
we"re always lived on. Come back an another six moths if there has been no earthquakes, most people
will have forgotten it again," said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti.
B.More people are moving into big cities.
C.Earthquakes don"t kill people, buildings do.
D.There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes.
E.Many people began to wonder if something terrible is happening underground.
F.While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren"t.
G.But developing nations with growing populations don"t pay attention to earthquake preparedness.
Ace told the McClatchy News Service that at least 1,000 places should be chosen to spray water. The water would be sprayed between 20 and 200 feet into the air. Thousands of tons of seawater would be
sprayed for years at a time.
The 1,000 sites would be picked after more studies. They would be mostly in the Northern
Hemisphere. Ace says he would avoid tropical (热带的) areas of the globe. He says water turns to rain
too quickly in these areas for his plan to work.
The water would be changed into vapor. That process requires heat. The water vapor would rise
above the Earth. The vapor would form clouds. The clouds would help in several ways. They would cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight. They would later turn into rains. The rains would provide another way of
cooling the Earth.
Ace’s plan has gotten some support from a limited scientific study. Kenneth Caldeira is a climate
scientist. He works at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University in
California. Caldeira tested some of Ace’s figures on a computer program. The computer model is used by top scientists to study global climate change. The model showed that the plan might work.
"More tests are planned in 2009. Ideas like Ace’s should be considered carefully and with an open
mind," Caldeira said. “Every brilliant invention in the history of technology looked a little bit mad when first put forward.”
1. What’s the purpose of Ace’s plan?
A. To reduce air pollution.
B. To make summer cooler.
C. To offer dry areas more rain.
D. To solve the problem of global warming.
2. According to Ace’s plan, ________.
A. planes would be used to spray water
B. it would be best to spray water on rainy days
C. seawater would be sprayed high into the sky
D. 1,000 sites in the Southern Hemisphere would be chosen
3. Why wouldn’t Ace spray water in tropical areas?
A. Water is changed into vapor too quickly.
B. Water turns to rain too quickly.
C. It is hard for vapor to form clouds.
D. It is bad for local plants to have too much rain.
4. It seems that Caldeira _________.
A. takes Ace’s plan seriously
B. thinks Ace’s idea too crazy
C. doesn’t believe the computer’s result
D. agrees to carry out Ace’s plan right now
5. According to the passage, Ace can be best described as __________.
A. mad
B. creative
C. mysterious
D. optimistic
American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s
smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile
may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big
cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.
Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.
Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in
"public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.
When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural
backgrounds in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to
be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing
emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of
“reading” the other person incorrectly.
B. Politeness
C. Joy
D. Thankfulness
B. be used to hide true feelings
C. be used in the wrong places
D. show personal habits
B. Understand their cultural backgrounds
C. Find out about their past experience
D. Figure out what they will do next
B. Smiles and Relationships
C. Facial Expressiveness
D. Habits and Emotions
