Leading stress management experts say that without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today’s stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today’s hectic, fast-paced world and with the blooming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand,physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”. The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”. Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backache, or insomnia. That’s why when stress occurs it’s important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way. While it’s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize is impact when it can’t be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical ActivityWhen you’re nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your StressIt helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positiveperspective on what’s troubling you. It you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of YourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you’re irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you’re not eating properly, you’ll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for YourselfSchedule time for both work and reaction. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to DoStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and CryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet SceneYou can’t always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”. A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-MedicationWhile you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.RelaxThe best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:--You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.--You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.--You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.--You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the "art" of relaxation, you’ll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。

Model Test 1Part I Writingsample:My View on Part-time JobsIt is quite common that many college students now take part-time jobs in their spare time. However, there is still a controversy about whether it is good or not. Some people think that taking a part-time job certainly brings some benefits to students.In the first place, it is good and effective for college students to get to know the society and learn how to get along with different kinds of people. What's more, taking a part-time job provides students with a golden opportunity to get some work experience, which will make them more competitive in the job market in the future. Finally, students can make some money, which can help to lessen their families' financial burdens.Of course, there are also some problems arising from students' taking part-time jobs. First, some students may spend too much time on their part-time jobs, then neglect their studies. Second, some students may be cheated by others since they are not mature enough to make correct judgments.As for me, I hold the view that college students need to have more access to the outside world. However, they should balance their social practices and academic studies. After all, they should know what their main task is.范文点评本文题目为“我对兼职工作的看法”，从三个提纲来看，有些人认为大学生找兼职工作可以了解社会、积累经验等，有些人认为兼职工作影响学习，据此判断此题为正反观点论证题，要求考生在论证两方观点后要提出自己的看法。

When skimming,readers only try to locate specific information and they often do not even follow the development of the story.（10）Scanning is another technique readers often use when looking up a word in a telephone book or dictionary to search for key words or ideas.Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page to seek specific words and phrases.Based on this,I will introduce to you three strategies which may help you to conduct effective reading.First，make sure the books are specific to your age and reading levels.Second,find some background information which relates to the book before reading.Third,leave plenty of time for reflection and let yourself be free to develop imagination at the end of the reading.OK,today we had a brief look at the ways to be effective readers，and the skills of reading as well. Undoubtedly,reading is always beneficial.I hope you'll enjoy reading and keep reading after today's lecture.Thank you for your attention.【精解精析】1.written information【定位】First of all,I'd say,reading is a method of absorbing written information.（第二段第一句）【解析】根据定位句可知，作者认为读书首先是对书面信息的吸收，此处缺少名词，故填入written information。

Development in economy is an essential one in the five years. The increased income resulting from economic growth plays an important part in the less expense on food. Hence, a small percentage of total income is enough to cover food expense. Another one is the changes in life style. When food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time . As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year after year.From the analyses made above, we may come to the c onclusion that people’s living standards have been constantly improved between 2008 and 2012. With the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction . 听力部分参考答案1-5 DDACC 6-10 CCDAA 11-15 BDBBA 16-20 DCDCD 21-25 BBCAD26 constuct 27 undying 28 for example 29 dramatic 30 prevent31 surfacing 32 cool off 33 determination 34 engage in 35 especially选词填空参考答案36.选M）。

Model Test 1Part 1 writingToo Much Expenditure on FashionThe ever-changing fashion mirrors the advance of human civilization. And the desire for beauty and fashion is blameless. However, some college students dip into their purses in order to keep up with the Joneses. Some of them even cut down the expending for books and meals to satisfy their desire for fashionable dress.As far as I am concerned, college students should cherish ambitions rather than become slaves of fashion. Attention should be paid to the disadvantages of the blinded following of fashion. Firstly, the pursuit of fashion has made many college students get lost. Some of them even fail to focus on their study. Besides, it is a costly hobby to follow the tide, which will impose financial stresses on their parents.All in all, we should adopt a more reasonable attitude towards the pursuit of fashion.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes) .1.
