However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease.When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path -- stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome.

The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip.

They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing.I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I gotoff at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. Itsoon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King ofSpain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were themost beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like Idid at their age. Maybe they have too much money.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing.Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟) or finished. Forexample, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues growing long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy (嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature (生物) from outer space. It is an expression firstly used about 400 years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello". It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.93. What does a greenhorn now refer to?94. Is the person with a green thumb good at growing plants?95. Who works hard and helps to develop new kinds of rice and other grains?96. People don't use green to describe people's feeling, do they?97. When was the expression "the green-eyed monster" probably firstly used?98.

But there are several things Tom Felton---also known as Harry's school nemesi s (复仇者) Draco Malfoy --- is looking forward to. And from the moment you see him, it is clear why."For the past ten years we haven't had much free time to do other things. I certainly haven't had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little danger like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been plenty of downsides, too.Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also says that at the same time he had to grow up fast."One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous(可笑的). You will never get those years back.

2012年上海中考英语一模试题汇编之阅读理解【静安区】When we are talking about afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of bread, butter and cakes to her room during the afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.After Anna started enjoying the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, giving a chance for people to meet new friends and get news or new stories.The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly India, which was originally transported by the East India Company.Today, afternoon tea has been simplified(精简的) because of the change of lifestyle.

When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.Since last year, thetrend (潮流) of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day."We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."It is also a great place for students to let out stress.

"When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging.

Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.'How much do you want, my good woman?' said the businessman.'Five dollars will save us,' said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, 'Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.'The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the widow.She was amazed when she saw so much money. 'Sir, there is a mistake here,' she said. 'You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.'The banker looked at the note once more, and said, 'The check calls for fifty dollars.'The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.'Yes,' said the businessman, when he had heard the banker's story, 'I did make a mistake.

Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.74. _______________is flu season.A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winterC) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring75.

A salary of $ 400,000, along with otherb enefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。

A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o‘clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of bread, butter and cakes to her room during the afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.After Anna started enjoying the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, giving a chance for people to meet new friends and get news or new stories.The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly India, which was originally transported by the East India Company.Today, afternoon tea has been simplified(精简的) because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various as those long time ago.

As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concert at the theater.Never too young to learnNiu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father's student playing the piano. At just three years old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too."I gave Niu Niu some sheet music(活动乐谱)and helped him find the eight notes(琴键)when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3 years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind.He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.Playing for funZhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn‘t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning(指法). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages.Rising to fameIn 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert(独唱音乐会) in his hometown Xiamen. At the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France. At the age of 10, Niu Niu played in London and his performance was praised by Prince Charles. Last year, this young pianist published his first album(专辑)―Niu Niu Plays Mozart‖ and over 10,000 copies have been sold in the world.We are very glad to see a young Chinese pianist rising in the music world.93.
