AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B．A．R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B．A．R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B．A．R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R.

B．University of Oxford.C．University of Illinois. D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023高一下半期考试阅读理解（50分）第一节（15*2.5=37.5分）AThroughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text.Method to identify Parkinson’s diseaseResearchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.Tool to interpret big emotionsResearchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.The tool is based on thousands of recording collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writingsResearchers-led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind---said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.21.Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?A.Tool to interpret pig emotions.B.Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.C.Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.D.Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.22.Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?A.A farmer.B. A doctorC. A zoologistD. A historian23.What do the inventions have in common?A.They are AI-driven technology tools.B.They are developed by Facebook.C.They aim to promote productivity.D.They focus on health issue.On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, originally encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, starting a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’tournament (锦标赛) at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated (支配) by women’s success on the pro stage.In 2018, Wu won his first A TP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the bitterly competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries --- to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist --- forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.He made his return last year and won three A TP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel llike I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the hardships and struggles as an asset (资产) that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had operations and the recovery wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”24.What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Lost weightB. Came back to the topC.Became famous instantlyD.Dropped out of the competition25.Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years?A.He wanted to change his career.B.He suffered from serious physical injuries.C.He didn’t stand out in training for the match.D.He can’t deal with the pressure of the ATP Tour.26.What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement?A.No cross, no crown (王冠)B.Well begun is half doneC.More haste(匆忙), less speedD. Time wait for no man27.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Development of Chinese TennisB.The Power of Difficulties for AthletesC.The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis SportD.The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP TitleAccording to a recent report, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3.1 million tons were recycled. Worldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics (统计数字) are even worse for certain types of plastic. For example, out of 80, 000 tons of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) containers produced in the United States, only a small amount (less than 5,000 tons) was recycled.Now, researchers at The University of Queensland have found a species of worm with a taste for polystyrene could be the key to plasatic recycling. The superworm can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme in their gut. To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up 135 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran, another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.“We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or hungry worms, more than doubting their weight over the three weeks they have been observed. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the hungry worms, ”Dr. Rinke siad. “This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes (微生物).”Researchers used a technique called metagenomics to find several encoded enzymes with the ability to reduce polystyrene. The long-term goal is to enineer enzymes to reduce plastic waste in recycling plants.“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut,”Dr. Rinke said. It’s hoped this bio-upcycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lad and further test its ability to reduce polystyrene. Then they can look into how to improve this process to a lever required for an entire recycling plant.28.What problem do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?ndfills are poorly managed.B.Plastics are recycled at a very low rate.C.Many plastic containers are of poor quality.D.It takes a long time for plastic waste to break up.29.How do researchers conduct the study on superworms?A.By collecting data.B.By making a comparison.C.By introducing a concept.D.By referring to a previous study.30.What can we infer from Dr. Rinke’s words?A.Plastic-fed worms had a decline in weight.B.Superworms showed little interest in wheat bran.C.Superworms could survive on only eating polystyrene.D.Bran-fed worms had a longer lifespan than plastic-fed worms.31.What do researchers plan to do?A.Conduct experiments on other worm species.B.Improve gut bacteria’s ability to reduce plastics.C.Apply the bio-upcycling technology to recycling plants.D.Raise superworms in a big way to solve plastic pollution.The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers (减速带) on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers,” India’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.The optical illusions (视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, both artists, have painted 3D corsswalks in the first few months of 2016. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on oa highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India’s decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.32.Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?A.To make the surroundings more beautiful.B.To attract the attention of tourists.C.To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.D.To show the advanced technology.33.Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2?A.ReminderB. ThreatC.RegulationD. Theory34.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?A.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial (有争议的) in India.B.Philadelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.C.The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.D.The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out.35.What do we know about 3D zebra crossings from the text?A.They can immediately lower the death rate.B.They have been widely used in India so far.C.They are designed to increase drivers’ attention.D.They are welcomed by both drivers and pedestrians.第二节（5*2.5=12.5分）Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their leisure. ______36______ However, the experience of visiting a museum could be quite disappointing if not done right, even for the experienced museumgoers._______37_______ No matter how much you’re enjoying yourself, many museums can take hours, days, or even weeks to fully explore.

2022-2023学年重庆市第十一中学校高一下半期考试英语试题1. Amazing Scientists Who Happen to Be TeenagersWe’ve got a list of teen scientists from a variety of fields.Jack AndrakaJack Andraka created a biological sensor for testing cancer at an early stage. He says that the paper sensor is 168 times faster, 26,667 times less expensive and 400 times more sensitive than technology nowadays.He’s the youngest person to have spoken in front of the Royal Society of Medicine.Taylor WilsonTaylor Wilson was the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion (核聚变). He was inspired by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor.Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a small nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100,000 to work on his own research.Sara VolzSara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae (藻类) based on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel. This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100,000 in the Intel Science Talent Search.Daniel BurdPlastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose (分解), but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months. In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster. He then performed tests to find the bacteria (细菌) responsible for decomposing the plastics.His solution only produces water and small amounts of carbon dioxide. He says it could easily be used elsewhere.1. Who invented a medical instrument?A．Jack Andraka. B．Taylor Wilson. C．Sara Volz. D．Daniel Burd.2. What excited Taylor Wilson’s interest in his invention?A．A travel program. B．Plastic pollution. C．Energy shortage. D．A story book.3. What do we know about Daniel Burd’s invention?A．It is made from plastics. B．It does little harm to the environment.C．It was completed in three months. D．It is widely used in everyday waste.2. In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no...”cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”I caught two pieces of useless wood, “Yo u see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?”As light smile was on his face, “Yes!”The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority (优先权), worth and a place to belong to.Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact the simpl e act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.1. Why did the family eat in the car after work?A．To avoid heavy traffic jams. B．To spend more time with family members.C．To remove the trouble of cooking. D．To have extra basketball classes.2. What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2?A．He wanted to build the playhouse independently.B．He was disappointed with the playhouse.C．He wanted to do projects with his dad.D．He missed the school project and was very sad.3. Which of the following words can best describe the author?A．Efficient and patient. B．Educated and strict.C．Open-minded and generous. D．Thoughtful and caring.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Looking After Kids Is Easy B．A Role Model for Kids CountsC．Family Events Bring Us Together D．Balancing Work and Family Is Important3. Close to the North Pole, remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity (多样性) of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (地窖) represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation (贮藏) of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits (特征) found within the seeds: the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot, dry weather.In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining (保留) their ability to grow for thousands of years.Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea. We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment— about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant, long-lasting, and worthy of who we are and wish to be.1. According to the passage, the Seed Vault is ________ .A．a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agricultureB．a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of cropsC．a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered cropsD．a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed2. The underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A．mature B．alive C．clean D．valuable3. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A．what people do to study the seeds. B．where people keep the seeds.C．why the seeds are protected. D．how the seeds are preserved.4. What can we know from the passage?A．the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change.B．most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties.C．many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise.D．the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity.4. When going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the mos t time. We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your iden tity. If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people don’t make these choices consciously though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.There’s no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and f riendships fade into associations. You don’t get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty? Shouldn’t you always be loyal to yo ur friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn’t you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroyin g his health by smoking, for example, you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyally sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I’m sorry, but I can’t have you in my life anymore." But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it’s often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it is also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.1. When experiencing major life changes, people may ________.A． join a new social community B． influence their friends aroundC． choose their friendships purposely D． have their people environment changed 2. What can be concluded from Paragraph 3 in the passage?A． Everyone has at least one friend.B．Friendship still exists though there’s less connection.C． It is unnecessary to make new friends.D． You ought to treat your old and new friend equally.3. What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends?A． Never betray your close friends whatever happens.B． Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C． Stick by your friends even though they do harm lo you.D． Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.4. How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?A． We should accept what we are told to do.B． We should stay silent and be in favor of it.C． We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.D． We should give our boss courage to continue.5. In today's increasingly competitive society, people are loaded with a growing amount of stress. Stress can affect how you feel, think, and behave. 1 It's worth taking the time to learn different strategies for managing your stress.●Identify the cause. If you are having prob lems with tense muscles, overtiredness headaches, it is quite possibly stress-related. Is it your job, relationship or something else? Problems can be divided into three categories: those with a practical solution, those will get better with time and those outside your control. 2●Move your body. Exercise won't cure your stress, but it can help to clean your head. Try something new: yoga may be calming, but there's nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag. Don't worsen the stress by drinking and smoking. 3 They will only make you feel physically and mentally worse.4 If you are the kind of person who is open to advice complain to a friend about your stress. Friends can work as a support group, and they may provide you with solutions. Sometimes, you can't see the easy way out of situation when you are standing right in the middle of it.●Make a list. Having too much to do may cause you to rush around because, if you are moving faster, it feels as if you are getting more done. 5 Make a to-do list. Do the big, important things last, after you have achieved several of the small things. That way, you will approach the big things already feeling good.6. I spent my teenage life in Sichuan province. Outside, there was the Sino-Japanese war. However, it could not hold back my ________. What lay ________ the war?
