Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition，if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents  about，see a doctor.

If you’re like most students, you may find it challenging to learn a foreign language. However, there are a few tips you can use in order to earn a top grade — as well as actually use the skills you’ve learned.

One of the most important and basic lessons in dealing with a foreign language is to learn and understand each concept and lesson before moving on to the next one. If you don’t understand one concept but move on to the next chapter anyway, you’re less likely to understand the new material.

Learning a new language is not only an academic tool, but can help you in your everyday life as well. Being good at another language can help you communicate with other people, aid you when traveling to foreign countries, and even make your résumé look better.

And it is important to learn correct pronunciation as soon as possible for poor pronunciation can be hard to break. Native speakers of the language as well as others fluent in the language you are learning will appreciate your efforts to learn correct pronunciation.

Gather outside materials such as books, study guides, books on tape, and travel books to aid you in learning the language. Your textbooks can’t possibly teach you everything you need to know, so seeking outside sources is generally a good rule of thumb to keep in mind.

A significant motivator in learning a foreign language is traveling to the country where the language is spoken. That way, you can see firsthand how the language is used, learn the culture, and meet native speakers of the language. Native speakers appreciate sincere attempts of others who take the time to learn their language.

Seek out native speakers of your new language in your school or neighborhood. They can help you with many skills, including pronunciation, and they can provide immediate feedback on your progress.

4. We can learn from the passage that _____.

     A. textbooks are not good for us when learning a foreign language

     B. learning pronunciation well from the very beginning is very important

     C. poor pronunciation can be easy to break with the help of native speakers

     D. seeking too many outside sources will be more harmful than beneficial

5. What is suggested doing in the last paragraph?

   A. Going on a trip abroad.                      B. Practicing with native speakers.

   C. Asking for feedback from our teachers.  

     D. Finding a motivator in learning languages.

6. In which part of a website would this text probably appear?

     A. Entertainment.          B. History.                  C. Education.                     D. Nature. 

 —Would you mind turning down the music?

—_______.

A. Not at all    B. Never mind

C. Yes, I will    D. No, I don’t mind

 It was after he got what he had desired _____ he realized it was not so important.

      A. that       B. when       C. since       D. as

 “Heaven is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”

Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.

“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.

If national stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.

Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.

We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.

A. romantic but disorganized    B. friendly and good-tempered

A. what was true in the past may not be true at present

B. they are formed by individual historians

C. generalizations are made through personal experience

D. people tend to have false idea about other culture

A. interesting    B. harmful

C. unreliable    D. humorous

    Even in the fanciest pizza restaurant, you will never feel weird if you ask for a box to take your leftovers (剩饭）home. In Italy, that will soon apply everywhere, with a new law that encourages restaurants to give people doggy bags, although in Italy it's called a "family bag."

The new law is designed to reduce food waste and open doors to companies wishing to donate wasted food. Family bags were made to avoid embarrassment at asking for leftovers, turning it from begging into good behavior.

    In the U.S., taking uneaten food home is normal. In the U.K. it is fairly common. To the south, though, this practice is rare. In Spain and Italy, people might take the bones from their meat and give them to their dogs, but culturally, it's not the done thing. Also, there aren't often many leftovers, as dishes are sized according to how much people will actually eat and are rarely too big to finish unless you over-order.

    In France, the laws are tougher. Last year, the French began to forbid supermarkets to throw away food. They must either give it away to charity, or make it available to be used as animal feed and compost(堆肥），If they fail to follow the law, they will be fined.

    Perhaps Italy's new law is right. Food waste is now attracting international attention, but the only way to really stop it lies in weather individuals are willing to change their ways. If it becomes socially unacceptable to waste food, or to serve a huge portion in restaurants, then we have a chance.

28. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

   A. Difficult.      B. Strange       C. Relaxed.      D. Disappointed.

29.Why do the Spanish seldom take leftovers home from restaurants?

   A. They don’t bother to do it.      B. It is their custom to eat food up.

   C. It is not acceptable in their culture. D. They usually order small portions.

30. According to the author, how can we reduce food waste?

   A. By introducing stricter laws.

   B. By donating food to the needy.

   C.By restaurants only serving small portions.

   D. By everyone taking action and saying no to it.

31. What’s the text mainly about?

   A. Way of reducing food waste.   B. Italy’s plans to use family bags.

   C. How doggy bags come into being.  D. The increasingly serious food waste.

Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways we can protect ourselves when we travel.

   37    People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.

Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you.    38    The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.

Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes — the type of crash that kills the most drivers — when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy.   39     Effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts.

Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink.    40    Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties （处罚）for drinking and driving.

A. How to drive safely?

    B. You are safer in a large car.

C. How to protect ourselves in the highway?

D. Air bags are not installed in all cars.

    E. That’s why safety belts should be worn.

    F. Drunk driving is the most serious problem.

G. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes.
